Abstract
Disclosed is a process for making nonphosphated automatic dishwashing detergents which have granular form and comprise a conventional nonphosphorus builder system consisting essentially of an organic builder salt (such as citrate) and a dispersant (such as a polyacrylate); and an oxygen bleach system comprising a chelant (such as ethylenediamine disuccinate) and a bleach active (such as perborate or percarbonate) optionally with enzymes and/or dry-mixed hydrous silicates. The invention secures stable, free-flowing granules by a premix step in which the chelant and dispersant are brought together; a drying step using conventional equipment; and one or more admix steps in which the bleach active is mixed with the product of the drying step.
