Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for fixing contaminants in papermaking.
  • the concentration of these water-soluble substances rises sharply as the water cycles become narrower.
  • the circulating water of the paper machine is particularly contaminated with these contaminants when wood-containing paper is produced.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to fix the contaminants in a simple and effective manner without having to resort to aluminum sulfate and the known and proven auxiliaries based on cationic polymers as drainage aids, retention aids and flocculants continue without impairing their effect can be used.
  • polymers (homo- and / or copolymers) based on quaternized dimethylaminopropyl (meth) acrylamide, which are added to the headbox and / or the circulating water, these polymers having an intrinsic viscosity of less than 150 ml / g measured in 10% by weight sodium chloride solution.
  • the polymers used according to the invention advantageously consist of 50 to 100% by weight of quaternized dimethylaminopropyl (meth) acrylamide and 0 to 50% by weight of acrylamide, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid or from mixtures of the cationic and anionic monomers mentioned.
  • the dimethylaminopropyl (meth) acrylamide is quaternized with the usual known quaternizing agents, e.g. Dimethyl sulfate, dimethyl carbonate, benzyl chloride, methyl chloride or ethyl bromide.
  • quaternizing agents e.g. Dimethyl sulfate, dimethyl carbonate, benzyl chloride, methyl chloride or ethyl bromide.
  • the polymers are used in an amount of 0.05 to 1% by weight, based on the dry weight of the paper produced, in addition to the customary auxiliary in which they are added to the headbox and / or the circulation water.
  • the polymer according to the invention used as a fixing agent is preferably used in an amount of 0.2 to 0.8, based on the dry weight of the paper produced.
  • the total amount of polymer added to fix impurities can advantageously be distributed over various addition points.
  • the polymers used as fixatives according to the invention are preferably used in a neutral manner without the addition of aluminum sulfate. However, it is also quite possible to combine these products with Alumi Use sodium sulfate according to the pseudo-neutral driving style.
  • the polymers used according to the invention have a particularly advantageous effect in those paper manufacturing processes in which the water cycle is closed to more than 90%.
  • the final temperature of 90 ° C is reached within 5 minutes. After cooling, the product has a viscosity of 1050 mPa.s, the intrinsic viscosity is 120 ml / g.
  • the mixture is heated to 75 ° C. while introducing nitrogen gas. After addition of 0.6 part of potassium peroxodisulfate, the polymerization begins. The final temperature of 92 ° C is reached within 10 minutes. After cooling, the product has a viscosity of 860 mPa.s, the intrinsic viscosity is 75 ml / g.
  • a polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride with an intrinsic viscosity of 95 ml / g was used as the comparative polymer in the application tests.
  • the degree of whiteness is naturally greatest without fixative and is reduced significantly less by the fixative according to the invention than by the comparison substances.
  • Waste paper with a solids concentration of 4% was used. 3 g of dry substance are diluted with tap water at 20 ° dH to a volume of 300 ml. The fixative is diluted to a volume of 300 ml and added to the stock suspension. The suspension is poured three times. The drainage aid is then diluted to 400 ml and added to the suspension. This system is then poured once and drained in the Schopper-Riegler apparatus. The time for 700 ml of filtrate is determined. With the blank value, the drainage is carried out without fixative and drainage aid, with the zero value without fixative, but with drainage aid. A 25% cationic polyacrylamide is used as a drainage aid.
  • the outlet valve is opened for 30 seconds and the filtrate is collected.
  • the non-retained fine material is determined by drying. The retention is stated as a percentage of the non-retained fine material in the total fine material.
  • the waste paper stock with a solids concentration of 4% is diluted in an amount of 2.5 g dry to 500 ml volume with tap water.
  • the fixative is added in an amount of 0.4%, based on dry substance, as a 0.5% solution and stirred for 30 seconds at 500 rpm with a magnetic stirrer.
  • the drainage aid a 25% cationic polyacrylamide, is added in an amount of 0.03% as a 0.01% solution and stirred for a further 30 seconds.
  • 4 liters of tap water are placed in the sheet former and made to bubble by blowing in air. Now the stock suspension is added and, after thorough mixing, suctioned off.
  • the cover card is placed over the sheet formed and the sheet is pulled off the screen.
  • the mixture is then dried in a vacuum dryer for 10 minutes and then in a drying cabinet at 110 ° C. for 5 minutes. The zero value is obtained without fixative.
