example 2

[0049] 165 (from J.M. Huber Co.) is supplied as a stock slurry. Next, the slurry was dewatered EIMCO at a pack pressure of 50 psig. The resulting product was not washed further, but dried with compressed air for 10 minutes.

[0050] From this standard wet cake, further samples were produced.

example 3

[0052] 63 liters of 13.3% 2.65MR sodium silicate were placed into the reactor and stirred at 40 rpm while being heated to 89°C with a recirculation rate of 30 Hz. At this point, simultaneous addition of sodium silicate (13.3%, 85° C.) and sulfuric acid (11.4%) was started, with silicate at 12.3 l / min and acid at 5.5 l / min. After the 8 minute addition time had elapsed, the stirrer was increased to 60 rpm and held there for an additional 47 minutes, after which the silicate addition was terminated. Acid flow was continued until a pH of approximately 7.0. At pH 7.0, the acid flow rate was reduced to 1.5 l / min and continued until the batch pH was adjusted to 6.2, at which point the acid flow was interrupted. Next, the batch pH was manually adjusted to 5.9 and the resulting batch was allowed to cook at this pH level of 93°C for 10 minutes. Next, the resulting batch is washed and filtered to 1.5% to 2% sulfate using an EIMCO filter press to form a filter cake, which is then, using...

example 1

[0058] The wet cake from Initial Example 1 was mixed thoroughly with sodium tetraborate (dry powder) for 5 minutes, targeting 0.5 wt% dry silica per weight. Subsequently, the resulting wet cake is dried to a target moisture content of between 3% and 7%. Next, the dried particles were ground to a particle size of 13.8 μm by a Raymond mill.

[0059] Invention example 2

[0060] The wet cake from Initial Example 1 was mixed thoroughly with sodium tetraborate (dry powder) for 5 minutes, targeting 1.0 wt% dry silica per weight. Subsequently, the resulting wet cake is dried to a target moisture content of between 3% and 7%. Next, the dried particles were ground to a particle size of 11.5 μm by a Raymond mill.

Abstract

New methods of treating silica wetcake during precipitated silica materials manufacturing are provided. Such methods permit a significant increase in high solids content processing while simultaneously reducing high viscosity of the resultant particles for transport facilitation. The resultant precipitated silica wetcake is treated with a borate-containing dispersant to impart the necessary low viscosity characteristics thereto. Such a dispersant accords not only such a viscosity result, but will not char or otherwise discolor the silica particles during evaporation of the liquids within the wetcake itself. Furthermore, such a dispersant, if left on the surfaces of such particles, will not deleteriously affect the abrasivity, fluoride compatibility, or other dentifrice properties of the precipitated silica materials themselves. Also encompassed within this invention are the resultant precipitated silica particles exhibiting borate residues and dentifrices including such materials.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention provides a new method of handling silica wetcake during the preparation of precipitated silica materials. These methods allow for a significant increase in high solids content while reducing the high viscosity of the resulting granules for ease of transport. The resulting silica wet cake is treated with a borate or polyphosphate containing dispersant to impart the requisite low viscosity characteristics. Such a dispersant not only has such a viscosity effect, but also does not char or discolor the silica particles during evaporation of the liquid in the wet cake itself. Moreover, such dispersants, if left on the surface of these particles, will not adversely affect the erosion, fluorine compatibility of the precipitated silica material itself, or will not cause the precipitated silica material to other toothpaste properties are adversely affected. The present invention also includes the resulting precipitated silica particles cha...
