Abstract

Detergent powders built with sodium carbonate and having improved flow properties are prepared by a process in which a selected acid, for example, succinic acid or alkylbenzene sulphonic acid, is added to a slurry in order to transform sodium carbonate into needle-like crystals of sodium sedquicarbonate, and the slurry is then dried, preferably spray-dried, to form a powder.
