Product 1

HCID 159762Sodium percarbonate

Procedure

A process for the production of sodium percarbonate, 2Na2CO3.3H2O2, which process comprises providing a reaction mixture of solid sodium carbonate monohydrate a hydrated sodium carbonate containing from 75 to 90 percent Na2CO3 and 60 to 80 percent aqueous hydrogen peroxide, the reaction mixture containing a small but effective quantity of a nonionic surfactant, the surfactant being stable in concentrated solutions of hydrogen peroxide and alkaline sodium carbonate solutions, and forming sodium percarbonate, the apparent density of the solid sodium carbonate monohydrate or hydrated sodium carbonate being 0.985 g/cm3 or greater.
