Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the uniform distribution of a small amount of liquid on bulk materials. The method is performed by spraying the liquid with at least one ultrasonic nozzle onto the bulk material, which is finely particulate. The spraying may occur before, during, or both before and during, mixing the particulate solid in a mixing apparatus. Dust may be significantly reduced by the apparatus of the instant invention, and the apparatus is useful for applying not only liquids, but emulsions, solutions, dispersions, or melts. The mixer may be mechanical or pneumatic.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of low-dust granules, which comprises applying an aqueous solution or suspension of a hydrate-forming compound to a particulate starting material, the particulate starting material being at a temperature below the transition temperature of the hydrate-forming compound during the application of the aqueous solution or suspension and the aqueous solution being at a temperature above the transition temperature, effecting granulation subsequently or simultaneously and, if desired, drying the granules obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of storage-stable granules essentially comprising a bleaching activator and an inorganic binder material, which comprises the process steps:a) mixing of a dry bleaching activator with a dry inorganic binder material,b) pressing of this mixture to give relatively large agglomerates andc) comminution of these agglomerates to the desired particle size.The invention furthermore relates to the use of the granules prepared by the processes in detergents, cleaning compositions, bleaching compositions and disinfectants.

Abstract: To prepare a compacted, granular sodium silicate having an SiO.sub.2 /Na.sub.2 O molar ratio of 1.7:1 to 4.1:1, sodium silicate having a median particle diameter of <500 .mu.m is first mixed with a material increasing its hardness before being converted into pressed granules having particle sizes of 0.1 to 5 mm by compacting, comminution and screening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stable granules comprising active substance, granulating auxiliary, enveloping substance and if appropriate additional components, wherein the enveloping substance in each case comprisesa) silicon dioxide particles orb) homopolymers of unsaturated sulfonic acids orc) copolymers of unsaturated sulfonic acids and unsaturated carboxylic acids ord) homopolymers of (meth)acrylic acid esters ore) copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid esters and unsaturated carboxylic acids orf) mixtures of one or more of these constituents.

Abstract: A pulverulant, dry bleach activator, in particular tetraacetylethylenediamine is first moistened with water and then mixed with a dry auxiliary, in particular, with Na carboxymethylcellulose. This mixture is then granulated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for improving the processing properties of powdery polyolefins. It is endeavored by this process to obtain a polyolefin powder which can be processed on screw extruders to an almost bubble-free product.The polyolefin powder is heated to a temperature of between 40.degree. C. and its melting point and introduced into a gap between two gap-forming elements. In this gap, the powder is compressed with a pressure of from 0.1 to 10 t per cm of gap length, and the powder so compressed is then comminuted.

Abstract: Granular potassium sorbate is continuously manufactured by spraying an aqueous potassium sorbate solution into or onto a bed of potassium sorbate particles fluidized by heated air.
