Abstract
Disclosed is a granular calcium hypochlorite composition having a calcium hypochlorite content of at least 55 wt. % and composed of particles having an ellipsoidal shape in section, wherein at least 50 wt. % of the ellipsoidal particles have a short diameter of 0.3-5 mm, a long diameter of 0.5-20 mm, and a long diameter/short diameter ratio larger than 1.5 but not larger than 5. This composition is prepared by a process wherein a wet calcium hypochlorite composition comprising at least 40 wt. % of calcium hypochlorite and 25-45 wt.% of water is extruded through a die having an orifice diameter of 0.3-5 mm; the extrudate is cut to a length of 0.5-20 mm so that the length/orifice diameter ratio is larger than 1.5 but not larger than 5 to form columnar shaped particles; the columnar shaped particles are subjected to rolling granulation; and the resulting granules are dried until the water content is reduced to 4-22 wt. %.
