Method for agglomerating a substance from a liquid system

The system for agglomerating a substance consists of at least two liquids which together at 20 DEG C form a liquid single-phase system. In the agglomeration process at least one salt has to be present. This salt may already be contained in the substance to be agglomerated, or it may only then be added to the liquid system or it may also be present in the form that the substance itself has a salt-like character. The method can advantageously be employed for isolating and drying a solid from a suspension. The granules obtained, compared to the powdered form of the substance in question, show better wetting, a higher rate of dissolution and more rapid dispersability. Furthermore they are low in dust, have good free-flowing behaviour and a high bulk density and high mechanical stability.

CLEANING PRODUCT

The invention is a detergent solution for cleaning a receptacle for milk or liquid milk-derived products, the detergent solution comprising water, one or more types of surfactant and an odour absorbing compound. The surfactants are provided to dissolve greasy milk-based residues from the receptacle and the odour absorbing compound is provided to neutralise odours produced by any remaining milk-based residues not removed by the surfactants. The detergent solution is water-based so that it can be rinsed off easily in a sink in the home. The detergent solution is particularly suited to plastic receptacles because plastic is more prone to accumulating mal-odour producing bacteria. This is because a plastic surface is more porous than glass so it is more difficult to remove greasy residues from a plastic surface and therefore grease can build up in the pores, out of the reach of surfactants, and provide a place for odour-producing bacteria to grow. An odour absorbing compound does not remove the residue but can neutralise the odours from the residue. The invention also discloses a method for dispensing a detergent solution comprising at least one surfactant, the method comprising ejecting detergent solution from a reservoir in the form of a spray, wherein the surfactant is present in the detergent solution in an amount of from 3% to 15% by weight of the detergent solution.
