<p>The invention relates to a method for producing a spray powder containing one or more glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivatives of the general formula (I) MOOC-CHR-N(CH2COOM)2 (I), R standing for C1-12 alkyl and M standing for alkali metal, starting from an aqueous solution containing the one or more glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivatives, which is spray-dried by adding air, characterized in that - the aqueous solution contains the one or more glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivatives at a fraction of ⠥ 84 wt.% relative to the total weight of the dry mass, and that - the spray drying occurs in a drying apparatus, to which the aqueous solution and the air are fed in parallel flow, with a temperature gradient between the aqueous solution and the air in the range of 70 to 350 °C, and that - in the drying apparatus, the aqueous solution is atomized into fine liquid droplets by being guided onto one or more disks, which rotate at a circumferential speed of ⠥ 100 m/s, or by being compressed by means of a pump to a pressure of ⠥ 20 bar absolute and introduced into the drying apparatus at this pressure by means of one or more nozzles.</p> |
