Abstract
Abstract Processes for the preparation of mixed persalts capable of liberating hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions and stable in dry detergent compositions, which processes comprise adding 60-80% H2O2 containing 0.6-1.8% EDTA to sodium carbonate monohydrate or to a sodium carbonate hydrate containing from 75-90% sodium carbonate, wherein sodium or potassium sulfate, sodium or potassium pyrophosphate, sodium metasilicate, sodium disilicate, sodium citrate, sodium glucoheptonate, sodium perborate, anhydrous sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, or mixed sodium and potassium carbonate or a mixture thereof is added to the reaction mixture, together with the products produced and use thereof as oxidizing agents in detergent mixtures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A process for the preparation of sodium chloride-free mixed persalts capable of liberating hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution and stable in dry alkaline mixtures, which process comprises adding aqueous hydrogen peroxide containing from 60 to 80% H 2 O 2 and 0.6 to 1.8 percent, based upon 100 percent H 2 O 2 , of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid at a temperature of from 20° to 60° C to sodium carbonate monohydrate or a hydrated sodium carbonate containing from 75 to 90% Na 2 CO 3 , and adding at least one alkali metal stabilizing compound chosen from the group consisting of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, sodium pyrophosphate, potassium pyrophosphate, sodium metasilicate, sodium disilicate, sodium citrate, sodium glucoheptonate, sodium perborate, anhydrous sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and mixed sodium and potassium carbonate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A process for the preparation of sodium chloride-free mixed persalts capable of liberating hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution and stable in dry alkaline mixtures, which process comprises adding aqueous hydrogen peroxide containing from 60 to 80% H 2 O 2 and 0.6 to 1.8 percent, based upon 100 percent H 2 O 2 , of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid at a temperature of from 20° to 60° C to sodium carbonate monohydrate or a hydrated sodium carbonate containing from 75 to 90% Na 2 CO 3 , and adding at least one alkali metal stabilizing compound chosen from the group consisting of sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, sodium pyrophosphate, potassium pyrophosphate, sodium metasilicate, sodium disilicate, sodium citrate, sodium glucoheptonate, sodium perborate, anhydrous sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and mixed sodium and potassium carbonate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the compound is added to the sodium carbonate monohydrate or hydrate prior to addition of the hydrogen peroxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the compound is added to the monohydrate or hydrate during addition of the hydrogen peroxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the compound is added to the monohydrate or hydrate after addition of the hydrogen peroxide is completed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein from about one to about 130 parts of the compound is added.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein from about 0.6 to about 2% magnesium silicate is added to the reaction mixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
73 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein for each 100 parts of the carbonate starting material, from 20 to 130 parts of sodium or potassium sulfate; from four to 30 parts of sodium or potassium pyrophosphate or sodium metasilicate, disilicate, citrate, or perborate; from one to ten parts of sodium glucoheptonate; or from ten to 50 parts of anhydrous sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, or the mixed carbonate of sodium and potassium are added.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
A mixture of persalts prepared according to the process of claim 1.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
A method of using the persalt mixtures of claim 8 as oxidizing agents, which method comprises admixing an effective amount of at least one of the persalt mixtures with at least one anionic or nonionic surfactant.
