Method for the production of suspensions comprising phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid
View Patent ↗A process for the production of a flowable suspension containing phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid by combining phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in granular form with a liquid alcohol and grinding the combination to form a flowable suspension of the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in the alcohol.
1. A process for the production of a flowable suspension containing phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid comprising the steps of combining phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in granular form with a liquid alcohol and grinding the combination to form a flowable suspension of the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in the alcohol.
2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the grinding is carried out in a toothed disk mill or a ball mill.
3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol comprises a C 1-3 alcohol having up to 3 OH groups.
4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, ethanediol, propane-1,2-diol, glycerol, and mixtures thereof.
5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the content of phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in the alcoholic suspension is 10% by weight to 90% by weight.
6. The process of claim 5 , wherein the content of phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid in the alcoholic suspension is 50% by weight to 85% by weight.
7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid granules are ground to a mean particle size of d 50 of 10 μm to 40 μm.
8. The process of claim 7 , wherein the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid granules are ground to a mean particle size d 50 of 12 μm to 30 μm.
9. The process of claim 1 , wherein the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid granules are ground to a size distribution wherein at least 90% of the particles (d 90 ) are under 80 μm.
10. The process of claim 9 , wherein the phthalimidoperoxyhexanoic acid granules are ground to a size distribution wherein at least 90% of the particles (d 90 ) are under 50 μm.
