Description
SPECIFICATION
Process for producing polyacrylic acid salt granules easily soluble in water
Water-soluble polyacrylic acid salts are now used widely as, for example, food additives such as thickening agent and emulsion stabilizer, aggregation or precipitation accelerator for industrial waste water, soil conditioner and cement additives. Recently, the water-soluble polyacrylic acid salts have been used as medicine in the treatment of peptic ulcers, particularly peptic esophagitis ulcer.
The water-soluble polyacrylic acid salts are obtained generally in the form of a gel polymer by the aqueous solution polymerization. Usually, the gel polymer is used in the form of powder obtained by drying the same and crushing it into particle size of about 1 00--200 mesh. In many cases, the powder is used in the form of an aqueous solution. However, in dissolving the powder in water to form the aqueous solution, undissolved lumps are frequently obtained. Further, finely divided particles contained in the powder are apt to be scattered during use and these particles tend to adhere to the surroundings in the workshop. The particles have an extremely high hygroscopicity and thus form a sticky extraneous matter to cause unfavourably environmental pollution in the workshop.
In order to overcome those defects, it has been proposed to crush the dried gel polymer into particles of 20-65 mesh (Tyler) for convenience in the use. However, according to this process, undissolved lumps are formed due to the large particle size and a considerably long period of time is required for the complete dissolution of the particles to form a homogeneous solution, since the particles are hard, though the dissolution time is still shorter than that required in case of using powder.
As processes for overcoming said defect, there have been known processes wherein sodium polyacrylate powder is kneaded with water or a hydrous, hydrophilic organic solvent and the mixture is then dried and then crushed or, alternatively, the mixture is granulated and then dried (Japanese Patent
Laid-Open No. 83681/1974) and wherein a powder of alkali metal salt of polyacrylic acid is contacted with water in a hydrophilic organic solvent and the resulting mass is dried and then crushed into aggregated granules (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 133:251/1975). However, according to those processes, particle size distribution of the product extends over a wide range from powder to granules and yield of particles of a high solubility (16-80 mesh) (Tyler) is as low as about 65%, since the mass once produced is crushed.Another defect of these processes is that the production operations are complicated. Said process disclosed in the specification of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
83681/1974 wherein the granules are obtained by granulating the kneaded mixture and then drying the same is not suitable for an industrial scale, since the granulation of the mixture is difficult.
According to the present invention, there is provided a process for producing water-soluble polyacrylic acid salt granules which process comprises granulating a water soluble powder of poiyacrylic acid salt using a fluidized bed granulatiqn method, while an aqueous solution of the polyacrylic acid salt of a viscosity of 50-700 c.p.s. is sprayed thereon.
The water-soluble powder of polyacrylic acid salts are not particularly limited. They include, for example, alkali metal salts such as sodium and potassium salts and salts with bases such as ammonium compounds of an average molecular weight of 500,000-10,000,000, preferably 2,000,000-10,000,000. Those salts may be partially replaced with other alkali metal salts or ammonium compounds, or with alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium, magnesium and barium or trivalent metals such as aluminum and iron.
As for particle size distribution, the salts have a particle size of 20-325 mesh (Tyler), preferably 48-200 mesh and an average particle diameter of 100--200 um, preferably 140-1 70 ym.
The polyacrylic acid salt to be sprayed is preferably the same compound as the polyacrylic acid salt to be granulated, the former being used in an amount of 0.3-1 g, preferably 0.35-0.8 g per kilogram of the latter. In case sodium polyacrylate is used, the amount thereof is preferably 0.35-0.5 g per kilogram of the latter. Viscosity of the aqueous solution of polyacrylic acid salt is 50-700 c.p.s., preferably 1 50-350 c.p.s.
The fluidized bed granulation device is not particularly limited and the device of any type such as fluidized bed type, modified fluidized bed type or jet bed type can be used.
In carrying out the granulation process according to the present invention, a powder of polyacrylic acid salt is fluidized in the fluidized bed granulating device, an aqueous solution of polyacrylic acid salt is sprayed thereon to form granules and then the granules are dried.
Granulation temperature is 4O800 C, preferably 45--700C.
The aqueous polyacrylic acid salt solution is sprayed for 5-90 seconds, preferably 10-80 seconds at intervals of longer than 3 seconds, preferably longer than 5 seconds.
Thus obtained granules are sieved to obtain the product of 1 6-80 mesh in a yield of about 95% or the product of 1 6-48 mesh in a yield of about 80%.
When a binder other than the polyacrylic acid salt was used, yield of the product of 1 6-80 mesh did not reach 95% even though the granulation conditions were varied.
The following experiments show that easily soluble granules of 16-80 mesh can be obtained in a high yield by the granulation process of the present invention.
Experiments:
Determination of particle size distribution (yield) of the granules: (1) Preparation of samples:
1 5.5 kilograms of sodium polyacrylate (hereinafter referred to as PANA) having an average molecular weight of 8,000,000, a particle size distribution of 48-1 50 mesh and an average particle diameter of 158 > m were granulated using 7.5 liters of an aqueous binder solution shown in Table 1 in the same manner as in Example 1 given below to obtain a sample.
TABLE 1
Conc. Viscosity Sample Binder (W/V %) (c.p.s.) Remarks A PANA of average 0.075 298 Sample of molecular weight the present of 8,000,000 invention B Polyvinyl 20.0 215 Control pyrrol idone -C Methylcellulose 6.0 304 D None (only water) - - I.
Aggregated granules prepared by the process described in Example 4 of Japanese Patent Laid
Open No. 133,251 were used as control sample E. Concrete method of the preparation was as follows: 1 Kilogram of PANA was added gradually to 11 liters of 30% aqueous ethanol under stirring. After stirring for about one hour, the mixture was filtered, dried and ground to obtain sample E.
(2) Method of experiment:
Each sample was sieved through sieves of 16, 48 and 80 mesh (Tyler). The sample remaining on the sieve after the sieving was weighed and yield of the product was calculated according to the following formula:
(Amount of granules remaining on the sieve)
(Amount of PANA charged) + (Amount of binder used) (3) Results of experiment:
The results are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2
Particle size distribution Sample > 16 mesh | i6-48 mesh | 48-80 mesh | < 80 mesh A 1.7% 80.1% 14.6% 3.6% B 7.6 63.2 9.0 20.2 C 3.2 60.5 8.3 28.0 D 4.7 59.1 7.9 28.3 E 6.3 54.7 10.2 28.8 it is apparent from the results that yield of sample A of the present invention having a highly soluble particle size of 1 6-80 mesh is 94.7% and that of particularly highly soluble particle size of 1 6-48 mesh of 80.1%, while yields of control sample E prepared according to the method of Japanese
Patent Laid-Open No. 133,251/1975 were only 64.9% and 54.7%, respectively. Thus, yield of the product of particularly highly soluble particle size of 6-48 mesh was higher in the present invention by more than 40%.
Yields of control samples B and C prepared by using polyvinyl pyrrolidone and methylcellulose, respectively, as binder were only 63.2% and 60.5%, respectively for 16-48 mesh size, which yields were little different from yield of control sample D prepared by spraying only water (59.1%). On the other hand, yield of sample A prepared by using PANA as binder according to the present invention was as high as 80.1% which was higher than said yields of the control samples by more than 30%. This fact indicates superiority of PANA as blinder.
Further, the sample of the present invention contains a fraction of a particle size of smaller than 80 mesh having a poor solubility in an amount of only 3.6%, while control samples B-E contains said fraction in an amount of 20.228.8%. Thus, it is understood that the process of the present invention is more excellent from the granulation of easily water-soluble polyacrylic acid salts.
Following is a description by way of example only of methods of carrying the invention into effect.
EXAMPLE 1
15.5 Kilograms of PANA having a particle size distribution of 48-150 mesh, an average particle diameter of 1 58 time and an average molecular weight of 8,000,000 were charged in a fluidized bed granulation-drying device sWSG-1 SR (a product of Okawara Seisaku-sho). 7.4 Liters of 0.075 W/V% aqueous solution (298 c.p.s.) of PANA of the same molecular weight as above were sprayed on PANA fluidized at 500C at a feed rate of 120 ml./min. under a spray pressure of 5 Kg/cm2 to form granules. In the granulation, the spraying was effected for 20 seconds and then the whole was shaken for 5 seconds. These procedures were repeated in the initial stage (5 minutes). Thereafter, one minute spraying following by 5 second shaking was repeated.After completion of the granulation, the granules were dried at 1 400C for 6 hours and then classified by seiving with a gyrosifter to collect granules of 16-48 mesh. Yield was 80.1%. Dissolution time was 75 minutes which was equal to the solution time of aggregated granules produced by the process of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 133,251/1975.
Dissolution time of the starting powder of the granules was 320 minutes.
EXAMPLE 2
16.3 Kilograms of PANA powder having a particle size distribution of 48-200 mesh, an average particle diameter of 146 fllm and an average molecular weight of 5,900,000 were charged in the same device as in Example 1.8.1 Liters of 0.11 W/V% aqueous solution (311 c.p.s.) of PANA of the same molecular weight as above were sprayed on PANA fluidized at 55 OC at a feed rate of 100 ml./min.
under a spray pressure of 4.5 kg/cm2 to form granules. Methods of spraying, drying and sieving were the same as in Example 1. Thus, granules of 1 6-48 mesh were obtained. Yield was 82.7%. Dissolution time was 70 minutes.
EXAMPLE 3
1 5.1 Kilograms of a water-soluble powder of polyacrylic acid salts (in which 50% of the carboxyl groups is sodium salt and 50% thereof is aluminum salt) having a particle size distribution of 48-200 mesh, an average particle diameter of 145 ym and an average molecular weight of 7,800,000 were granulated by spraying 7.7 liters of 0.1 5 W/V% aqueous solution of the same polyacrylic acid salts (267 c.p.s.) thereon at a feed rate of 90 ml./min. in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain granules of 1 6-48 mesh. Yield was 80.9%. Dissolution time was 65 minutes.
Granules of a higher solubility could be obtained by subjecting the easily water-soluble polyacrylic acid salt granules produced by the process of the present invention to the treatment with a waterinsoluble, water-permeable coating agent, i.e. semi-permeable coating agents, according to a coating method disciosed in the specification of U.S. Patent No. 4,150,110.
EXAMPLE 4
15 Kilograms of the granules produced in Example 1 were subjected to spray coating treatment with a coating solution comprising 5 parts of ethylcellulose, 1 part of glycerol/fatty acid ester (O.D.O. ap, a product of Nisshin Seiyu Kabushiki Kaisha), 47 parts of methanol and 47 parts of methylene chloride till weight of the solid matter increased by 900 g. Thus, granules of a higher solubility were obtained.
Dissolution time was 1 minute and 20 seconds.
