Description

L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé de fabrication d'une feuille de papier comprenant une étape de fixation d'une charge minérale sur des fibres cellulosiques en suspension aqueuse. La fixation des charges minérales par exemple le calcium, sur les fibres peut se faire au moyen d'une réaction chimique entraînant la précipitation d'un composé chimique insoluble par exemple le carbonate de calcium, qui vient se fixer sur les fibres et fibrilles de cellulose. Les fibres cellulosiques sur lesquelles sont solidement fixées ces charges minérales sont utilisées pour la fabrication de papier.The invention relates to a novel method for producing a paper sheet comprising a step of fixing a mineral filler on cellulosic fibers in aqueous suspension. The fixing of the mineral fillers, for example calcium, on the fibers can be done by means of a chemical reaction causing the precipitation of an insoluble chemical compound, for example calcium carbonate, which is fixed on the fibers and fibrils of cellulose. . The cellulosic fibers on which these mineral fillers are firmly attached are used for papermaking.

Tout le domaine industriel papetier est concerné. L'invention peut en effet s'appliquer à la fabrication des papiers habituellement chargés en matières minérales tels que les papiers d'impression et écriture comme le papier couché, les papiers de presse comme le papier journal et le papier couché léger (destiné aux magazines), les papiers minces comme le papier à cigarettes.The entire paper industry is concerned. The invention can indeed be applied to the manufacture of papers usually loaded with mineral materials such as printing and writing papers such as coated paper, press papers such as newsprint and light coated paper (intended for magazines ), thin papers such as cigarette paper.

L'invention peut également s'appliquer à la fabrication d'autres types de papiers tels que les papiers absorbants à usage sanitaire et domestique qui ne sont pas classiquement chargés en matières minérales.The invention can also be applied to the manufacture of other types of paper such as absorbent papers for sanitary and domestic use which are not conventionally loaded with mineral materials.

Les fibres cellulosiques sont des fibres papetières, courtes ou longues. Les suspensions aqueuses de fibres sont préparées à partir de tout type de pâte : pâte chimique, blanchie ou écrue, pâte mécanique ou thermomécanique ou les mélanges de ces différentes pâtes. La pâte peut aussi être obtenue par un procédé de désencrage de vieux papiers ou papiers de récupération.Cellulosic fibers are paper fibers, short or long. The aqueous suspensions of fibers are prepared from any type of pulp: chemical pulp, bleached or unbleached, mechanical or thermomechanical pulp or mixtures of these different pastes. The dough can also be obtained by a process of deinking waste paper or waste paper.

On peut directement ajouter des charges minérales dans la fabrication d'une feuille de papier.Mineral fillers can be added directly to the manufacture of a sheet of paper.

Parmi les charges minérales classiquement ajoutées, les carbonates de calcium (CaCO3), naturels ou synthétiques, sont le plus souvent utilisés. On les ajoute aux fibres papetières pour améliorer les caractéristiques et propriétés des produits papetiers. Les charges minérales peuvent fournir différentes propriétés au papier. Du fait de leur structure cristalline et leur morphologie particulière, elles apportent au papier, la blancheur, l'opacité, améliore l'épaisseur etc... Elles sont d'une utilisation intéressante sur le plan économique, diminuant le coût des matières premières, étant moins chères que les fibres.Among the conventionally added mineral fillers, natural or synthetic calcium carbonates (CaCO 3 ) are most often used. They are added to papermaking fibers to improve the characteristics and properties of paper products. Mineral fillers can provide different properties to paper. Because of their crystalline structure and their particular morphology, they bring to the paper, the whiteness, the opacity, improves the thickness etc ... They are of an interesting use on the economic plan, decreasing the cost of the raw materials, being cheaper than fiber.

Mais toute la difficulté réside dans la fixation de ces charges aux fibres cellulosiques et en particulier dans la solidité de la liaison charges-fibres. Habituellement, les charges ne restent pas au contact des fibres lors du procédé de fabrication d'une feuille de papier. En effet, les particules fines minérales ont tendance à ne pas rester dans le matelas fibreux formé par la feuille et une partie de ces particules se retrouve dans les eaux du procédé, récupérées et/ou rejetées.But the difficulty lies in the fixing of these charges to cellulosic fibers and in particular in the strength of the charge-fiber bond. Usually, the charges do not remain in contact with the fibers during the process of making a sheet of paper. Indeed, the mineral fine particles tend not to remain in the fibrous mat formed by the sheet and some of these particles are found in the process water, recovered and / or rejected.

Ce phénomène est classique lors de la fabrication de papiers absorbants tels que la ouate de cellulose, qui sont des papiers de faible grammage fabriqués à grande vitesse soit par un procédé conventionnel, c'est-à-dire séchés et crêpés, soit par un procédé utilisant un séchage par soufflage traversant.This phenomenon is conventional in the manufacture of absorbent papers such as cellulose wadding, which are low-weight papers manufactured at high speed or by a conventional method, that is to say, dried and creped, or by a process using through-blow drying.

En outre, dans le cas où une partie des charges minérales est retenue dans le matelas fibreux, elles se répartissent de manière irrégulière dans l'épaisseur de la feuille de papier.In addition, in the case where a part of the mineral fillers is retained in the fibrous mat, they are distributed unevenly in the thickness of the paper sheet.

Afin de résoudre ce problème, on a ajouté des agents de rétention pour mieux retenir les charges minérales sur les fibres.In order to solve this problem, retention agents have been added to better retain the mineral fillers on the fibers.

Depuis 1945, de nombreuses publications et brevets antérieurs décrivent des procédés de précipitation de charges minérales sur des fibres afin d'améliorer la rétention des charges et éviter l'addition d'agents de rétention. Ces procédés reposent sur des réactions chimiques telles que des réactions d'addition ou de double décomposition. Certains procédés visent plus particulièrement la précipitation de charges minérales dans la partie creuse des fibres afin de ne pas modifier les propriétés mécaniques des fibres et donc du papier, qui sont généralement diminuées par la présence des charges.Since 1945, numerous prior publications and patents disclose methods of precipitating mineral fillers on fibers to improve the retention of fillers and to avoid the addition of retention agents. These methods rely on chemical reactions such as addition or double-decomposition reactions. Some processes are more particularly aimed at the precipitation of mineral fillers in the hollow part of the fibers in order not to modify the mechanical properties of the fibers and therefore of the paper, which are generally diminished by the presence of the fillers.

En règle générale, le procédé de fixation consiste à introduire dans une suspension aqueuse relativement concentrée en fibres, un premier réactif à base de l'un des cations formant le futur précipité, par exemple l'oxyde de calcium ou hydroxyde de calcium ou de la chaux éteinte.As a general rule, the fixing process consists in introducing into a relatively concentrated aqueous suspension of fibers, a first reagent based on one of the cations forming the future precipitate, for example calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide, or slaked lime.

Suivant les procédés décrits par les demandes de brevet JP-A-60-297382 (HOHUETSU SEISHI ) et FR-B1-2 689 530 (AUSSEDAT REY ), après la dilution de la suspension aqueuse concentrée en fibres et en hydroxyde de calcium, on injecte du gaz carbonique pour précipiter le carbonate de calcium.According to the processes described by the patent applications JP-A-60-297382 (HOHUETSU SEISHI ) and FR-B1-2 689 530 (AUSSEDAT REY ), after the dilution of the concentrated aqueous suspension of fibers and calcium hydroxide, carbon dioxide is injected to precipitate the calcium carbonate.

La demande internationale WO 92/15754 propose au contraire d'injecter le dioxyde de carbone sous pression au contact de la suspension aqueuse de fibres très concentrée pour fixer les précipités à la fois à l'intérieur des fibres, sur les parties creuses internes des fibres, et dans les parois des fibres.International demand WO 92/15754 proposes on the contrary to inject the carbon dioxide under pressure in contact with the aqueous suspension of very concentrated fibers to fix the precipitates both inside the fibers, on the inner hollow parts of the fibers, and in the walls of the fibers .

D'autres demandes de brevet ou brevets révèlent des procédés plus complexes à base de sels de calcium. Une étape supplémentaire est prévue pour éliminer l'un des produits de la réaction de double décomposition. C'est le cas des brevets américains US 4 510 020 (GREEN ) et US 2 583 548 (GRAIG ).Other patent applications or patents reveal more complex processes based on calcium salts. An additional step is provided to remove one of the products of the double decomposition reaction. This is the case of US patents US 4,510,020 (GREEN ) and US 2,583,548 (GRAIG ).

Ce dernier brevet décrit un procédé consistant à d'abord imprégner les fibres de chlorure de calcium, puis faire réagir ce sel avec du carbonate de sodium et effectuer ensuite un lavage afin d'éliminer le chlorure de sodium.The latter patent describes a method of first impregnating calcium chloride fibers, then reacting the salt with sodium carbonate and then washing to remove sodium chloride.

Le brevet américain US 3 029 181 (THOMSEN ) divulgue un procédé similaire utilisant du carbonate d'ammonium.The US patent US 3,029,181 (THOMSEN ) discloses a similar process using ammonium carbonate.

Un grand nombre de charges minérales, précipitables suivant un procédé utilisant une réaction du type double décomposition, sont données dans la description de la demande internationale WO 91/04138 .A large number of mineral fillers precipitable by a process using a double decomposition type reaction are given in the description of the international application. WO 91/04138 .

Mais tous les procédés de précipitation connus et décrits antérieurement font appel à des moyens chimiques et physiques qui nécessitent des étapes annexes de préparation, telles que la solubilisation des réactifs utilisés, la dilution ou la concentration des suspensions aqueuses de fibres, la filtration ou le lavage pour créer les conditions de précipitation.But all precipitation processes known and described previously use chemical and physical means that require additional stages of preparation, such as solubilization of reagents used, dilution or concentration of aqueous suspensions of fibers, filtration or washing to create the conditions of precipitation.

Ces étapes alourdissent considérablement les procédés de fabrication du papier.These steps add considerably to paper making processes.

En effet, il est nécessaire d'ajouter des équipements industriels périphériques afin de mettre en oeuvre ces étapes : bacs de mélange, réacteurs à forte agitation fonctionnant en discontinu, filtres, etc...In fact, it is necessary to add peripheral industrial equipment in order to implement these steps: mixing tanks, reactors with strong stirring operating discontinuously, filters, etc ...

Les temps de réactions chimiques souvent longs impliquent l'utilisation de tels équipements. De ce fait, il est généralement nécessaire de construire une unité de production pour la préparation de fibres chargées, à côté des installations classiques pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé de fabrication du papier.The often long chemical reaction times involve the use of such equipment. As a result, it is generally necessary to construct a production unit for the preparation of filled fibers, next to conventional installations for carrying out the papermaking process.

Par conséquent, les procédés de l'art antérieur décrits précédemment ne sont pas habituellement utilisés industriellement et ne peuvent pas concurrencer les préparations "ex situ" des charges.Consequently, the prior art methods described above are not usually used industrially and can not compete with the "ex situ" preparations of the charges.

La plupart des procédés actuels de fabrication de papier continuent d'utiliser des suspensions de matières minérales déjà préparées avant leur adjonction à la suspension de fibres. Dans ce cas, des agents de rétention sont incorporés afin de retenir les charges sur les fibres au cours du procédé de fabrication du papier.Most current papermaking processes continue to use previously prepared mineral suspensions prior to their addition to the fiber suspension. In this case, retention agents are incorporated to retain the charges on the fibers during the papermaking process.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un procédé qui permette de résoudre les problèmes rencontrés avec les procédés de l'art antérieur.The object of the invention is to propose a method that makes it possible to solve the problems encountered with the methods of the prior art.

L'invention a pour but de supprimer l'addition d'agents de rétention et d'éliminer toute étape annexe de préparation afin d'intégrer la fixation des charges en ligne ou "in situ" dans le procédé général de fabrication du papier.The object of the invention is to suppress the addition of retention agents and to eliminate any preparative step of preparation in order to integrate the setting of charges in line or "in situ" in the general process of papermaking.

Pour ce faire, l'invention a pour solution d'utiliser comme milieu réactionnel les eaux du procédé de fabrication du papier, à savoir l'eau contenue dans la suspension aqueuse de fibres, pour l'étape de fixation des charges minérales sur les fibres cellulosiques.To achieve this, the solution of the invention is to use as water reaction medium the waters of the papermaking process, namely the water contained in the aqueous suspension of fibers, for the step of fixing the mineral fillers on the fibers. cellulose.

En effet, ces eaux sont un réservoir d'ions et de minéraux qui peuvent potentiellement précipiter.Indeed, these waters are a reservoir of ions and minerals that can potentially precipitate.

L'invention consiste donc à utiliser ce réservoir d'ions présents en équilibre ionique dans la suspension aqueuse de fibres. On considère que l'ensemble des eaux du procédé de fabrication du papier forme un seul milieu réactionnel de précipitation.The invention therefore consists in using this reservoir of ions present in ionic equilibrium in the aqueous suspension of fibers. It is considered that all the waters of the papermaking process form a single reaction medium for precipitation.

Dans la description qui suit, on définira ces eaux par l'expression "une suspension aqueuse de fibres cellulosiques issue d'une fabrication papetière".In the description which follows, these waters will be defined by the expression "an aqueous suspension of cellulosic fibers resulting from papermaking".

Ce nouveau procédé permet une intégration en ligne de l'étape de précipitation des charges minérales sur les fibres dans le procédé plus général de fabrication du papier. Il utilise toute la quantité des eaux du procédé sans les traiter particulièrement. Il est tout à fait applicable industriellement et évite l'utilisation d'agents supplémentaires de rétention.This new process allows on-line integration of the step of precipitation of mineral fillers on the fibers in the more general papermaking process. It uses all the quantity of the water of the process without treating them particularly. It is fully applicable industrially and avoids the use of additional retention agents.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, illustrated by the appended drawing in which:
  • the figure 1 represents the block diagram of a method of manufacturing a sheet of paper according to the invention.

De manière classique, un procédé de fabrication d'une feuille de papier consiste à :

  • préparer ou fournir une composition de fabrication à base d'eau et d'une pâte de fibres papetières chimique blanchie ou écrue, d'une pâte mécanique ou thermomécanique, ou de leurs mélanges, et
  • former une feuille de papier en déposant les fibres sur une toile pour former une nappe de fibres qui, dans le cas du papier en ouate de cellulose, est ensuite séchée de manière conventionnelle sur un cylindre chauffé ou encore Yankee puis crêpée, ou séchée suivant un procédé dit de soufflage traversant.
In a conventional manner, a method of manufacturing a sheet of paper consists in:
  • preparing or providing a water-based manufacturing composition and a bleached or unbleached chemical paper mill pulp, mechanical or thermomechanical pulp, or mixtures thereof, and
  • forming a sheet of paper by depositing the fibers on a web to form a web of fibers which, in the case of tissue paper, is then conventionally dried on a heated cylinder or Yankee then creped, or dried in accordance with so-called through-blowing process.

La composition de fabrication de départ comprend en équilibre ionique au moins des ions de métaux alcalins et/ou alcalino-terreux, et des ions hydrogénocarbonates, carbonates ou silicates.The starting composition comprises in ionic equilibrium at least alkali metal ions and / or alkaline earth, and hydrogen carbonate ions, carbonates or silicates.

De préférence, la composition de fabrication comprend en équilibre des ions hydrogénocarbonates et des ions sodium et alcalino-terreux.Preferably, the manufacturing composition comprises in equilibrium hydrogen carbonate ions and sodium and alkaline earth ions.

Selon l'invention, le procédé de fabrication d'une feuille de papier comprend après l'étape de préparation ou de fourniture de la composition de fabrication, une étape d'addition d'un hydroxyde d'une charge minérale pour fixer la charge minérale sur les fibres papetières, avant l'étape de formation de la feuille.According to the invention, the method of manufacturing a paper sheet comprises, after the step of preparing or supplying the production composition, a step of adding a hydroxide of a mineral filler to fix the mineral filler. on the paper fibers, before the step of forming the sheet.

Le procédé de fabrication d'une feuille de papier selon l'invention intègre parmi ses étapes essentielles, une étape de fixation de charges minérales sur les fibres, telle que décrite ci-après.The process for producing a sheet of paper according to the invention incorporates, among its essential steps, a step of fixing mineral fillers on the fibers, as described below.

L'invention repose sur l'utilisation des eaux issues de la fabrication de la pâte ou du papier à l'intérieur du procédé de fabrication du papier, comme réservoir d'ions et même de charges minérales, potentiellement précipitables.The invention is based on the use of water from the manufacture of pulp or paper within the papermaking process, as a reservoir of ions and even mineral fillers, potentially precipitable.

Généralement, les eaux présentes dans un procédé de fabrication de papier, telles que la composition de fabrication qui est une suspension aqueuse de fibres cellulosiques, comprennent un grand nombre d'ions en équilibre ionique. Les plus fréquents sont les suivants : H+, OH-, HCO3 - (ions hydrogénocarbonates), CO3 2- (ions carbonates), (nSiO2)O2- (ions silicates), Na+ (ion sodium), Ca2+ (ion calcium), Mg2+ (ion magnésium).Generally, the waters present in a papermaking process, such as the manufacturing composition which is an aqueous suspension of cellulosic fibers, comprise a large number of ions in ionic equilibrium. The most frequent are the following: H + , OH - , HCO 3 - (hydrogen carbonate ions), CO 3 2- (carbonate ions), (nSiO 2 ) O 2- (silicate ions), Na + (sodium ion), Ca 2+ (calcium ion), Mg 2+ (magnesium ion).

Ces eaux comprennent également du dioxyde de carbone provenant soit du dioxyde de carbone atmosphérique, soit des eaux de la nappe souterraine ou nappe phréatique qui sont utilisées dans la suspension, soit d'une neutralisation chimique par du dioxyde de carbone industriel ou récupéré.These waters also include carbon dioxide from either atmospheric carbon dioxide or groundwater or groundwater which are used in the suspension, either from chemical neutralization with industrial or recovered carbon dioxide.

Les eaux contiennent donc habituellement des carbonates (CO3 2-), des hydrogénocarbonates (HCO3 -), et du dioxyde de carbone dissous, selon la valeur du pH.The water therefore usually contains carbonates (CO 3 2- ), hydrogen carbonates (HCO 3 - ), and dissolved carbon dioxide, depending on the pH value.

Les eaux récupérées ou recyclées dans les procédés de fabrication du papier contiennent des ions minéraux. Dans le cas particulier des eaux issues d'un procédé de désencrage, les ions sodium sont en quantités plus importantes et sont sous la forme d'hydrogénocarbonates lorsque les neutralisations inhérentes au procédé de désencrage sont effectuées à partir de dioxyde de carbone. Dans ce cas, le rapport molaire des ions sodium par rapport à d'autres ions de métaux alcalino-terreux, est souvent supérieur à deux. L'ion sodium participe de ce fait de manière très active aux équilibres ioniques.Water recovered or recycled in paper manufacturing processes contains mineral ions. In the particular case of the waters resulting from a deinking process, the sodium ions are in larger quantities and are in the form of hydrogen carbonates when the neutralizations inherent to the deinking process are carried out from carbon dioxide. In this case, the molar ratio of sodium ions to other alkaline earth metal ions is often greater than two. The sodium ion thus participates very actively in the ionic equilibrium.

D'une manière générale, la suspension aqueuse de fibres cellulosiques issue d'une fabrication papetière comprend :

  • entre 20 et 1000 ppm (parties par million) d'ions sodium,
  • entre 5 et 200 ppm d'ions calcium, et
  • entre 5 et 200 ppm d'ions magnésium.
In general, the aqueous suspension of cellulosic fibers resulting from papermaking comprises:
  • between 20 and 1000 ppm (parts per million) of sodium ions,
  • between 5 and 200 ppm of calcium ions, and
  • between 5 and 200 ppm magnesium ions.

Les cations sont équilibrés en majorité par la présence des ions hydrogénocarbonates. Celle-ci est mesurée par le titre alcalimétique complet (ou TAC). Ce titre est compris entre 2 et 30° F. Les eaux issues d'un procédé de désencrage de vieux papiers, se caractérisent par un TAC relativement élevé, du fait de la présence d'une quantité importante d'ions sodium en équilibre avec les ions hydrogénocarbonates.The cations are mostly balanced by the presence of hydrogen carbonate ions. This is measured by the complete alkalimetic titer (or TAC). This title is between 2 and 30 ° F. The water from a process of deinking waste paper, are characterized by a relatively high TAC, because of the presence of a significant amount of sodium ions in equilibrium with the hydrogen carbonate ions.

Des exemples de composition de suspension aqueuse de fibres cellulosiques pouvant être utilisées dans l'invention, sont donnés ci-après.Examples of an aqueous suspension composition of cellulosic fibers that can be used in the invention are given below.

Une suspension aqueuse de fibres obtenue à partir de pâte vierge et d'eaux provenant de nappe souterraine, a la composition suivante :

  • 20 à 100 ppm ou plus d'ions sodium
  • 8 à 20 ppm ou plus d'ions magnésium
  • 20 à 80 ppm ou plus d'ions calcium
  • 100 à 400 ppm ou plus de dioxyde de carbone sous la forme de dioxyde de carbone dissous, ions carbonates et ions hydrogénocarbonates.
An aqueous suspension of fibers obtained from virgin pulp and water from groundwater, has the following composition:
  • 20 to 100 ppm or more of sodium ions
  • 8 to 20 ppm or more of magnesium ions
  • 20 to 80 ppm or more of calcium ions
  • 100 to 400 ppm or more of carbon dioxide in the form of dissolved carbon dioxide, carbonate ions and hydrogen carbonate ions.

Une suspension aqueuse de fibres obtenue à partir des eaux issues d'un procédé de désencrage, a la composition suivante :

  • 150 à 250 ppm ou plus d'ions sodium
  • 20 à 80 ppm ou plus d'ions calcium
  • 8 à 20 ppm ou plus d'ions magnésium
  • 200 à 800 ppm ou plus de dioxyde de carbone sous la forme de dioxyde de carbone dissous, ions carbonates et ions hydrogénocarbonates.
    L'invention propose d'utiliser les équilibres ioniques de la suspension aqueuse à base de fibres cellulosiques pour fixer des charges minérales sur les fibres par insolubilisation ou précipitation.
    Elle vise plus particulièrement l'utilisation des propriétés des ions hydrogénocarbonates de métaux alcalins et/ou alcalino-terreux qui, en présence d'un hydroxyde de calcium (l'unique réactif), réagissent pour former un précipité de carbonate de calcium qui vient se fixer sur les fibres et fibrilles de cellulose.
    Plus précisément, l'invention consiste à utiliser les ions hydrogénocarbonates en équilibre avec les ions sodium, et à un degré moindre avec les ions calcium et magnésium comme source d'ions carbonates (CO3 2-), afin de précipiter un complexe à base essentiellement de carbonate de calcium par addition d'hydroxyde de calcium.
    Entre autres, les réactions suivantes se réalisent après addition d'hydroxyde de calcium, au contact des fibres cellulosiques :

             a)     2Na HCO3 + Ca (OH)2 + fibres ---> Na2CO3 + 2H2O + CaCO3 - fibres

             b)     Na2 CO3 + Ca (OH)2 ---> 2 Na OH + CaCO3

    Les réactions secondaires suivantes peuvent également apparaître :

             c)     Ca (HCO3)2 + Ca(OH)2 + fibres ---> 2H2O + 2CaCO3 - fibres

             d)     Mg (HCO3)2 + 2 Ca(OH)2 ---> Mg(OH)2 + 2H2O + 2CaCO3

An aqueous suspension of fibers obtained from water from a deinking process has the following composition:
  • 150 to 250 ppm or more of sodium ions
  • 20 to 80 ppm or more of calcium ions
  • 8 to 20 ppm or more of magnesium ions
  • 200 to 800 ppm or more of carbon dioxide in the form of dissolved carbon dioxide, carbonate ions and hydrogen carbonate ions.
    The invention proposes to use the ionic equilibrium of the aqueous suspension based on cellulosic fibers in order to fix inorganic fillers on the fibers by insolubilization or precipitation.
    More particularly, it relates to the use of the properties of the alkali metal and / or alkaline earth metal hydrogen carbonate ions which, in the presence of a calcium hydroxide (the only reactant), react to form a precipitate of calcium carbonate which has just occurred. fix on cellulose fibers and fibrils.
    More specifically, the invention consists in using hydrogen carbonate ions in equilibrium with sodium ions, and to a lesser extent with calcium and magnesium ions as a source of carbonate ions (CO 3 2- ), in order to precipitate a complex based on essentially calcium carbonate by addition of calcium hydroxide.
    Among others, the following reactions take place after addition of calcium hydroxide, in contact with the cellulosic fibers:

    a) 2Na HCO 3 + Ca (OH) 2 + fibers ---> Na 2 CO 3 + 2H 2 O + CaCO 3 - fibers

    b) Na 2 CO 3 + Ca (OH) 2 ---> 2 NaOH + CaCO 3

    The following side reactions may also appear:

    c) Ca (HCO 3 ) 2 + Ca (OH) 2 + fibers ---> 2H 2 O + 2CaCO 3 - fibers

    d) Mg (HCO 3 ) 2 + 2 Ca (OH) 2 -> Mg (OH) 2 + 2H 2 O + 2CaCO 3

D'autres composés peuvent également précipiter sous la forme de silicates ou de carbonates métalliques selon la composition des eaux utilisées, et venir se fixer sur les fibres.Other compounds may also precipitate in the form of silicates or metal carbonates according to the composition of the water used, and to be fixed on the fibers.

L'hydroxyde de calcium est ajouté sous forme soluble ou de préférence sous forme de lait (lait de chaux) très concentré. Le lait comprend des particules d'hydroxyde de calcium d'un diamètre moyen inférieur à 6 µm.Calcium hydroxide is added in soluble form or preferably in the form of highly concentrated milk (lime). The milk comprises calcium hydroxide particles having a mean diameter of less than 6 μm.

Le volume d'hydroxyde de calcium ajouté sous forme de lait, peut être très faible, dans un rapport pouvant aller jusqu'à 1 pour 1000. Cette concentration facilite l'intégration de cette étape en ligne, dans le procédé de fabrication du papier et a surtout un effet bénéfique sur la répartition des cristaux sur l'ensemble des fibres. En effet, grâce à la réaction quasi instantanée de ce faible volume avec la suspension des fibres, on a une forte basicité temporaire concentrée au contact des fibres, qui favorise l'accrochage chimique du précipité sur les fibres.The volume of added calcium hydroxide in the form of milk can be very low, in a ratio of up to 1 per 1000. This concentration facilitates the integration of this step online, in the papermaking process and has above all a beneficial effect on the distribution of the crystals on all the fibers. Indeed, thanks to the almost instantaneous reaction of this small volume with the suspension of the fibers, there is a strong temporary basicity concentrated in contact with the fibers, which promotes the chemical bonding of the precipitate on the fibers.

Une fois la réaction de précipitation terminée, le pH de la suspension aqueuse de fibres est généralement modifié ainsi que les conditions ioniques propres à la formation de la feuille. Il est donc éventuellement nécessaire d'ajuster le pH en le neutralisant et le stabilisant.Once the precipitation reaction is complete, the pH of the aqueous fiber suspension is generally modified as well as the ionic conditions specific to the formation of the sheet. It is therefore necessary to adjust the pH by neutralizing and stabilizing it.

Pour ce faire, on ajoute un acide tel que du dioxyde de carbone pour amener le pH à la valeur souhaitée. Ceci n'a pas d'influence notable sur les composés précipités.To do this, an acid such as carbon dioxide is added to bring the pH to the desired value. This has no notable influence on the precipitated compounds.

Cette addition de dioxyde de carbone permet en outre de regénérer des hydrogénocarbonates alcalins. La suspension aqueuse retrouve ainsi un équilibre ionique.This addition of carbon dioxide also makes it possible to regenerate alkaline hydrogen carbonates. The aqueous suspension thus regains an ionic balance.

Industriellement, on peut injecter des gaz contenant du dioxyde de carbone récupéré des gaz de combustion de chaudière par exemple, éventuellement enrichi de dioxyde de carbone pur. En effet, en milieu alcalin, le dioxyde de carbone dilué réagit instantanément.Industrially, it is possible to inject gases containing carbon dioxide recovered from boiler combustion gases for example, optionally enriched with pure carbon dioxide. Indeed, in an alkaline medium, the diluted carbon dioxide reacts instantly.

Les réactions suivantes s'effectuent :

         e)     Na2 CO3 + H2O + CO2 ---> 2 Na HCO3

The following reactions occur:

e) Na 2 CO 3 + H 2 O + CO 2 ---> 2 Na HCO 3



        f)     2Na OH + CO2 ---> Na2CO3 + H2O



f) 2Na OH + CO 2 ---> Na 2 CO 3 + H 2 O

Et si le gaz est ajouté en excès, les réactions suivantes se produisent :

         g)     Mg (OH)2 + 2 CO2 ---> Mg(HCO3)2

         h)     Ca (OH)2 + 2CO2 ---> Ca(HCO3)2

And if the gas is added in excess, the following reactions occur:

g) Mg (OH) 2 + 2 CO 2 ---> Mg (HCO 3 ) 2

h) Ca (OH) 2 + 2CO 2 ---> Ca (HCO 3 ) 2

L'ensemble de ces réactions permet donc de stabiliser le pH aux valeurs souhaitées.All of these reactions thus make it possible to stabilize the pH at the desired values.

Cet ajustement du pH peut avoir lieu dans la suspension aqueuse de fibres où les charges minérales sont fixées sur les fibres, avant la formation de la feuille.This pH adjustment can take place in the aqueous suspension of fibers where the mineral fillers are fixed on the fibers, before the formation of the sheet.

Mais industriellement, cet ajustement a lieu de préférence après la formation de la feuille, dans les eaux blanches ou eaux d'égouttage récupérées lors de l'étape de formation de la feuille. Ces eaux d'égouttage contiennent des fibres fines et des charges minérales.But industrially, this adjustment takes place preferably after the formation of the sheet, in the white water or sewage water recovered during the step of forming the sheet. These dewatering waters contain fine fibers and mineral fillers.

On injecte alors le gaz contenant du dioxyde de carbone dans le silo des eaux d'égouttage. Les fibres sont ensuite récupérées à raison d'environ 5 % et les eaux regénérées sur le plan ionique comportant à nouveau des ions hydrogénocarbonates sont recyclées à raison de 95 % dans la composition de fabrication de départ.The gas containing carbon dioxide is then injected into the silo of the sewage water. The fibers are then recovered at about 5% and the ionically regenerated waters again containing hydrogen carbonate ions are recycled to 95% in the starting manufacturing composition.

Il est à noter que les ions sodium, recyclés avec les eaux issues d'une fabrication papetière, ont une fonction essentielle. Ils fournissent d'abord des ions hydrogénocarbonates pour la précipitation instantanée du carbonate de calcium (réaction a)), puis captent de manière instantanée les ions hydrogénocarbonates provenant du dioxyde de carbone injecté (réaction e)) afin de stabiliser le pH et regénérer les équilibres ioniques.It should be noted that sodium ions, recycled with water from paper manufacturing, have an essential function. They first provide hydrogen carbonate ions for the instantaneous precipitation of calcium carbonate (reaction a)), then instantaneously capture hydrogen carbonate ions from the injected carbon dioxide (reaction e)) to stabilize the pH and regenerate the equilibria. ionic.

Au moyen du procédé selon l'invention, on peut fixer beaucoup de minéraux au contact des fibres et participer à une amélioration du recyclage des eaux issues des procédés de fabrication du papier. Les étapes relatives au procédé de fixation des charges minérales sur les fibres sont donc intégrées dans le procédé "in situ" de fabrication d'une feuille de papier sans modification de l'équipement ni installations supplémentaires.By means of the process according to the invention, it is possible to fix a lot of minerals in contact with the fibers and to participate in an improvement in the recycling of water from paper manufacturing processes. The steps relating to the process for fixing the mineral fillers on the fibers are therefore integrated into the "in situ" process for manufacturing a sheet of paper without modifying the equipment or additional installations.

De ce fait, ce procédé est très avantageux et permet de fixer des charges minérales sur les fibres directement au cours du procédé de fabrication d'une feuille de papier.As a result, this process is very advantageous and makes it possible to fix mineral fillers on the fibers directly during the process of manufacturing a sheet of paper.

Les exemples qui suivent résultent d'essais en laboratoire et illustrent l'étape de fixation d'une charge minérale sur des fibres papetières à partir de suspensions aqueuses de différentes origines et la fabrication de formettes de papier.The following examples result from laboratory tests and illustrate the step of fixing a mineral filler on paper fibers from aqueous suspensions of different origins and the manufacture of paper forms.

Exemple 1Example 1

On prépare une suspension aqueuse de fibres cellulosiques à partir de fibres vierges mises en suspension dans une eau de nappe phréatique.An aqueous suspension of cellulosic fibers is prepared from virgin fibers suspended in ground water.

Dans un réacteur de 100 litres, on introduit 100 litres de la suspension aqueuse de fibres ayant la composition chimique suivante : (ppm = parties par million)

  • Fibres : 2300 ppm
  • Hydrogénocarbonates : 210 ppm
  • Calcium : 60 ppm
  • Sodium : 25 ppm
  • Magnésium : 8 ppm
  • Dioxyde de carbone dissous : 5 ppm
100 liters of the aqueous suspension of fibers having the following chemical composition are introduced into a 100 liter reactor: (ppm = parts per million)
  • Fibers: 2300 ppm
  • Hydrogenocarbonates: 210 ppm
  • Calcium: 60 ppm
  • Sodium: 25 ppm
  • Magnesium: 8 ppm
  • Dissolved carbon dioxide: 5 ppm

Le pH est voisin de 8.The pH is close to 8.

Puis sous agitation moyenne, on ajoute 100 grammes d'un lait de chaux concentré à 20 %, soit 20 g de Ca(HO)2 ou 10,8 g de calcium. Les particules d'hydroxyde de calcium ont un diamètre moyen inférieur à 6 microns. En moins de 60 secondes, le pH se stabilise vers 10,7.Then, with medium stirring, 100 grams of a 20% concentrated lime milk, that is 20 g of Ca (HO) 2 or 10.8 g of calcium, are added. The calcium hydroxide particles have an average diameter of less than 6 microns. In less than 60 seconds, the pH stabilizes at 10.7.

Après précipitation, la suspension aqueuse (sans tenir compte de la très faible dilution) a la composition suivante :

  • Fibres : 2300 ppm
  • Carbonates de calcium : 305 ppm (fixé sur les fibres et fibrilles de cellulose)
  • Hydrogénocarbonates/carbonates : 25 ppm
  • Calcium : 45 ppm
  • Sodium : 25 ppm
  • Magnésium : 5 ppm
  • Dioxyde de carbone dissous : traces
After precipitation, the aqueous suspension (without taking into account the very low dilution) has the following composition:
  • Fibers: 2300 ppm
  • Calcium Carbonates: 305 ppm (fixed on cellulose fibers and fibrils)
  • Hydrogenocarbonates / carbonates: 25 ppm
  • Calcium: 45 ppm
  • Sodium: 25 ppm
  • Magnesium: 5 ppm
  • Dissolved carbon dioxide: traces

On prélève un échantillon pour fabriquer une formette de papier selon la méthode classique (Formette Franck). A partir de cette suspension, on peut fabriquer des formettes riches en carbonate de calcium fixé. On trouve un taux de rétention proche de 90 %, à partir d'un grammage de 25 g/m2, ceci sans ajouter d'agent de rétention. Au-delà de 80 g/m2, le taux de rétention devient proche de 100 %. La formette contient environ 11,7 % de carbonate de calcium.A sample is taken to make a paper form according to the conventional method (Formette Franck). From this suspension, it is possible to produce shaped tablets rich in fixed calcium carbonate. We find a retention rate close to 90%, from a basis weight of 25 g / m 2 , this without adding a retention agent. Above 80 g / m 2 , the retention rate becomes close to 100%. The form contains about 11.7% calcium carbonate.

On peut ramener le pH vers des valeurs plus faibles en injectant dans la suspension un gaz contenant 10 % de dioxyde de carbone ou plus, en neutralisant la soude, l'hydroxyde de magnésium et l'hydroxyde de calcium soluble.The pH can be reduced to lower values by injecting into the suspension a gas containing 10% carbon dioxide or more, neutralizing sodium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and soluble calcium hydroxide.

Après injection du dioxyde de carbone pour obtenir un pH voisin de 8, la suspension aqueuse a la composition suivante :

  • Fibres : 2300 ppm
  • Carbonates de calcium : 325 ppm (fixé sur les fibres et fibrilles de cellulose)
  • Hydrogénocarbonates/carbonates : 120 ppm
  • Calcium : 40 ppm
  • Sodium : 25 ppm
  • Magnésium : 8 ppm
  • Dioxyde de carbone dissous : 30 ppm
After injection of the carbon dioxide to obtain a pH in the region of 8, the aqueous suspension has the following composition:
  • Fibers: 2300 ppm
  • Calcium carbonates: 325 ppm (fixed on cellulose fibers and fibrils)
  • Hydrogenocarbonates / carbonates: 120 ppm
  • Calcium: 40 ppm
  • Sodium: 25 ppm
  • Magnesium: 8 ppm
  • Dissolved carbon dioxide: 30 ppm

De la même manière que précédemment, on peut fabriquer des formettes contenant un peu plus de charges, environ 12,5 %, car le calcium neutralisé s'est déposé sur les fibres. Une injection supplémentaire de dioxyde de carbone permet de retrouver les principales qualités initiales de l'eau, en particulier la composition en calcium et hydrogénocarbonates.In the same way as above, it is possible to manufacture formets containing a little more filler, about 12.5%, because the neutralized calcium was deposited on the fibers. An additional injection of carbon dioxide makes it possible to recover the main initial qualities of the water, in particular the composition of calcium and hydrogenocarbonates.

  • Hydrogénocarbonates : 450 ppm
  • Calcium : 60 ppm
  • Sodium : 160 ppm
  • Magnésium : 8 ppm

  • Sodium: 160 ppm
  • Magnesium: 8 ppm
  • Dissolved carbon dioxide: 20 ppm

Le pH est voisin de 8.The pH is close to 8.

Puis sous agitation moyenne, on ajoute 100 grammes d'un lait de chaux concentré à 20 %, soit 20 g de Ca(OH)2 ou 10,8 g de calcium. Les particules d'hydroxyde de calcium dans le lait de chaux ont un diamètre moyen inférieur à 6 microns.Then, with medium stirring, 100 grams of a 20% concentrated lime milk, that is 20 g of Ca (OH) 2 or 10.8 g of calcium, are added. The calcium hydroxide particles in lime milk have an average diameter of less than 6 microns.

En moins de 60 secondes, le pH se stabilise vers 9,8.In less than 60 seconds, the pH stabilizes at 9.8.

Après précipitation, la suspension aqueuse (sans tenir compte de la très faible dilution) a la composition suivante :

  • Fibres : 2300 ppm
  • Carbonates de calcium : 370 ppm (fixé sur les fibres et fibrilles de cellulose)

On trouve un taux de rétention proche de 90 %, à partir d'un grammage de 25 g/m2, ceci sans ajouter d'agent de rétention. Au-delà de 80 g/m2, le taux de rétention devient proche de 100 %. La formette contient environ 13,5 % de carbonate de calcium.A sample is taken to make a paper form according to the conventional method (Formette Franck). From this suspension, it is possible to manufacture formlets, rich in fixed calcium carbonate. We find a retention rate close to 90%, from a basis weight of 25 g / m 2 , this without adding a retention agent. Above 80 g / m 2 , the retention rate becomes close to 100%. The form contains about 13.5% calcium carbonate.

On peut ramener le pH vers des valeurs plus faibles en injectant dans la suspension un gaz contenant 10 % de dioxyde de carbone ou plus, en neutralisant les éléments alcalins, essentiellement la soude.The pH can be reduced to lower values by injecting into the suspension a gas containing 10% carbon dioxide or more, neutralizing the alkaline elements, essentially sodium hydroxide.

Exemple 3 : Example 3

On prépare une suspension aqueuse de fibres cellulosiques à partir d'une composition de fabrication contenant de l'hydrogénocarbonate de sodium.An aqueous suspension of cellulosic fibers is prepared from a manufacturing composition containing sodium hydrogencarbonate.

Dans un réacteur de 100 litres, on introduit 100 litres de la suspension ayant la composition chimiques suivante : (ppm = parties par million).

  • Fibres : 2280 ppm
  • Hydrogénocarbonates : 950 ppm
  • Calcium : 65 ppm
  • Sodium : 300 ppm
  • Dioxyde de carbone dissous : 5 ppm
In a 100 liter reactor, 100 liters of the suspension having the chemical composition as follows: (ppm = parts per million).
  • Fibers: 2280 ppm
  • Hydrogenocarbonates: 950 ppm
  • Calcium: 65 ppm
  • Sodium: 300 ppm
  • Dissolved carbon dioxide: 5 ppm

Le pH est voisin de 8,4.The pH is around 8.4.

Puis sous agitation moyenne, on ajoute 100 grammes d'un lait de chaux concentré à 20 %, soit 20 g de Ca(HO)2 ou 10,8 g de calcium.Then, with medium stirring, 100 grams of a 20% concentrated lime milk, that is 20 g of Ca (HO) 2 or 10.8 g of calcium, are added.

Le pH se stabilise rapidement vers 8,8.The pH stabilizes rapidly at 8.8.

Après précipitation, la suspension aqueuse (sans tenir compte de la très faible dilution) a la composition suivante :

  • Fibres : 2300 ppm
  • Carbonates de calcium : 420 ppm (fixé sur les fibres et fibrilles de cellulose)
  • Hydrogénocarbonates/carbonates : 700 ppm
  • Calcium : 3 ppm
  • Sodium : 300 ppm
  • Dioxyde de carbone dissous : traces
After precipitation, the aqueous suspension (without taking into account the very low dilution) has the following composition:
  • Fibers: 2300 ppm
  • Calcium carbonates: 420 ppm (fixed on cellulose fibers and fibrils)
  • Hydrogenocarbonates / carbonates: 700 ppm
  • Calcium: 3 ppm
  • Sodium: 300 ppm
  • Dissolved carbon dioxide: traces

On prélève un échantillon pour fabriquer une formette de papier selon la méthode classique (Formette Franck). A partir de cette suspension, on peut fabriquer des formettes, et selon le taux de rétention des particules fines de cellulose riches en carbonate de calcium fixé, on trouve un taux de rétention des charges minérales proche de 90 %, à partir d'un grammage de 25 g/m2, ceci sans ajouter d'agent de rétention. Au-delà de 80 g/m2, le taux de rétention devient proche de 100 %. La formette contient environ 15 % de carbonate de calcium.A sample is taken to make a paper form according to the conventional method (Formette Franck). From this suspension, we can manufacture form, and according to the retention rate of the fine cellulose particles rich in fixed calcium carbonate, we find a retention rate mineral loads close to 90%, from a basis weight of 25 g / m 2 , this without add retention agent. Above 80 g / m 2 , the retention rate becomes close to 100%. The form contains about 15% calcium carbonate.

Si l'on souhaite obtenir un pH inférieur à 8, on injecte du dioxyde de carbone dilué dans l'air jusqu'à 10 %. On récupère le dioxyde de carbone des fumées de combustion de chaudière. Le dioxyde de carbone reforme essentiellement de l'hydrogénocarbonate de sodium.If it is desired to obtain a pH below 8, diluted carbon dioxide is injected into the air up to 10%. The carbon dioxide is recovered from the boiler combustion fumes. Carbon dioxide essentially reformed sodium hydrogencarbonate.
