Process for the preparation of a mixture of sodium silicates and other salts and the use of the mixture

Abstract

To prepare a mixture of sodium silicates having lamellar structure and sodium carbonate peroxohydrate, sodium silicate composed essentially of .delta.-Na.sub.2 Si.sub.2 O.sub.5 is reacted at least partially with carbon dioxide and atomized water with continuous circulation with the formation of a kanemite/sodium hydrogen carbonate mixture. The kanemite/sodium hydrogen carbonate mixture and further sodium silicate composed essentially of .delta.-Na.sub.2 Si.sub.2 O.sub.5 is brought into contact with atomized water with continuous circulation. Finally, 0.015 to 1.5 mol of hydrogen peroxide per mole of sodium silicate composed essentially of .delta.-Na.sub.2 Si.sub.2 O.sub.5 employed is added to the resulting kanemite/sodium carbonate mixture.
