Process for raising the bulk density of sodium perborate monohydrate

摘要

The invention relates to a method for increasing the bulk density of particulate sodium perborate monohydrate which has been obtained by dehydration of sodium perborate tetrahydrate. The known compaction of said sodium perborate monohydrate in a roller press having patterned rollers with subsequent size reduction of the flakes, presents considerable problems on an industrial scale. The problems are overcome according to the invention, by arranging for a precompaction stage prior to compaction and maintaining the temperature of the roller surface and of those parts of the precompactor which come into contact with the product, below 20 DEG C.
