Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A METHOD FOR REGULATING THE BULK DENSITY AND INPROVING THE FRIABILITY OF A PARTICULATED, AGGLOMERATED ALKALI METAL TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE WITHIN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 0.4 TO ABOUT 1.1 GRAMS PER CUBIC CENTIMETER WHICH COMPRISES HEATING A COMPOSITION INITIALLY COMPRISING AN INTIMATE ADMIXTURE OF AN APPORPRIATE BLEND OF SOLID FINELY DIVIDED ALKALI METAL ORTHOPHOSPHATE SALTS AND A PREDETERMINED QUANTITY OF LIQUID WATER WITHIN THE RANGE OF FROM ABOUT 1% TO ABOUT 20% OF THE WEIGHT OF SAID ORTHOPHOSPHATE SALTS TO A TEMPERATURE BETWEEN ABOUT 250*C. AND ABOUT 550*C.; SAID QUANTITY OF LIQUID WATER VARYING IN APPROXIMATELY A DIRECT PROPORTION TO SAID PREDETERMINED DENSITY; MAINTAINING SAID TEMPERATURE UNTIL A SUBSTANTIAL CONVERSION OF SAID ORTHOPHOSPHATE SALTS TO ALKALI METAL TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE IS EFFECTED, AND THEN RECOVERING SAID PARTICULATED, AGGLOMERATED TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE; AT LEAST ABOUT 80 WEIGHT PERCENT OF THE PARTICLES OF SAID FINELY DIVIDED ALKALI METAL ORTHOPHOSPHATE SALTS BEING SMALL ENOUGH TO PASS THROUGH A U.S. STANDARD 60 MESH SCREEN.
