Definitions
- This invention is directed towards the manufacturing process of paper, paperboard, corrugated products, and other fiber-containing products such as gypsum board/drywall and fiber-based backing for vinyl flooring.
- This invention further relates to additives used in the wet end of a papermaking process to confer dry strength to the resulting product.
- An additional aspect of one aspect of the invention is a process which improves manufacturing efficiency by promoting increased drainage during fiber processing.
- Glyoxal is another additive which is frequently combined with a polyacrylamide polymer for incorporation into the wet end of a papermaking process.
- a glyoxylated resin additive is frequently used to obtain increased internal bond strength, greater dry tensile strength, improved modulus of elasticity, and improvements in sizing effectiveness.
- the glyoxylated polymer additives may have cationic charges
- the amount of cationic charge can be controlled so as to provide desired drainage and retention properties to the paper. Proper pH regulation avoids problems associated with excessive cationic charges such as flocculation of the fibers.
- a glyoxylated product may be added to an aqueous suspension of paper stock while the paper stock is in the head box recirculation loop, in the thick stock chest, the hydropulper, or at other points in the process prior to or after formation of a sheet.
- An example of the latter would be the spraying of a gloxylated polymer solution between the plies of a multi-ply sheet.
- the 4% to 6% solids solution is thereafter metered into a papermaking process as a glyoxylated polyacrylamide polymer solution, for example.
- the working solution is useful for incorporation into a thick paper stock solution having between about 2% to about 5% solids and thereby achieve an increase in dry strength of the resulting paper product.
- the working solution can also be used to improve drainage properties in a thin paper stock having solids of less than about 1%.
- a glyoxylated additive the proportion of glyoxal to polymer of which is varied, depending upon monitored production goals, such as sheet strength, stock drainage and drying rates, white water quality, and process variables which may include water properties, stock pH, fiber quality, fines content, and the type and amount of additional additives used in the paper making process.
- the FIGURE is a schematic view of a process of incorporating a high solid content glyoxylated polymer into the wet end of a papermaking process.
- glyoxal will react with macromolecules such as polyacrylamide polymers and other polymeric agents in a cross-linking reaction.
- Glyoxal reacts with the polymeric agent to improve the paper properties, such as strength, upon drying of the paper.
- the amount of glyoxal resin is within the ratio of about 15 percent to about 25 percent by dry weight of the glyoxal to dry weight of a cationic polymer such as polyacrylamide.
- glyoxal can promote improved drainage properties of a paper furnish.
- the glyoxal resin is added within a ratio of about 5 percent to about 15 percent by dry weight of the glyoxal to cationic polymer such as polyacrylamide.
- PCV 005 and PCV 015 are nonionic polymers while the PCV 105 polymer has a 10% cationic charge.
- the polymers used were prepared using dry powders which were dispersed in deionized water at a 1.7% solids concentration. Thereafter, glyoxal supplied by Noveon, Charlotte, N.C., at a 40% solids concentration was slowly added to the polymer solution while stirring to produce a 25:75 glyoxal to polymer ratio, on a solids basis, for each reactant.
- Lignin sulfonate solids were added to the suspension of fibers at a concentration of 200 ppm, based upon the lignin sulfonate solids to the wet paper stock weight. The addition of lignin sulfonate solids was used to provide a water/fiber suspension having properties of a closed mill water system. The lignin sulfonate retards drainage and duplicates conditions of a typical fiber furnish.
- Furnish samples of the 0.8% to 1.0% consistency solution described above were prepared using 500 ml aliquots which were mixed in a Britt jar for 10 seconds. Following mixing, a corresponding amount of a freshly prepared glyoxylated polymer was added at levels equivalent to 5 pounds of polymer solids per ton of fiber solids. Following addition of this polymer, the material within the Britt jar was stirred for an additional 20 seconds and the furnish transferred to a Buchner funnel having a coarse filter (Whatman grade 202,15 cm diameter). Prior to transferring the furnish to the funnel, a vacuum was applied to the supporting filter flask. A 10 second vacuum interval was applied to the furnish at which time the vacuum was removed and the amount of water drained during the 10 second time interval was measured.
- low molecular weight gyloxylated polymers have a more significant impact upon furnish drainage than higher molecular weight polymers. This is true even when the higher molecular weight polymers have a cationic charge.
- the use of lower molecular weight polymers provide for an increased number of polymer molecules which are available for interaction. In other words, the lower molecular weight polymers result in enhanced uniformity of coverage of the polymeric species on the fiber and fines surfaces, resulting in a better distribution of chemical bonding between the additive and the cellulose.
- the free glyoxal serves as a scavenger for sulfide and other materials and which can bring about further improvements in drainage properties by scavenging materials that may otherwise contribute to reduced drainage.
- the ability of freshly glyoxylated polymers to improve drainage properties of a commercial paper furnish having a clean, open water system was also evaluated.
- the polymer used to evaluate drainage improvements was a copolymer consisting of a 93 mol percent of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) and a 7 mol percent of polyacrylamide. This copolymer was obtained in an aqueous solution, therefore, it did not require dispersion in water.
- DMDMAC dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride
- the glyoxylation process used was otherwise identical to that described in Example 1.
- the paper furnish used was obtained from the headbox of a commercial paper machine making kraft multi-wall bag paper material.
- the furnish composition was a mixture of 80% unbleached, refined virgin kraft Southern Pine pulp blended with 20% old corrugated containers.
- the furnish was separated into four samples as set forth in Table 3.
- a portion of the furnish was introduced into a Britt jar at a propeller rotation of 800 rpm, and using a screen made from the paper machine's forming fabric.
- additional furnish was added to maintain a volume of between about 400 to about 600 ml.
- the effluent from the jar was collected and consisted of process water and fines, i.e., fibrous material capable of passing through the screen.
- Sample 3 was obtained by simply filtering a portion of the furnish.
- Sample 4 preparation began by collecting long fibers trapped by the screen which were subsequently thoroughly washed with tap water. The washed long fibers were then re-dispersed in filtrate from the headbox sample.
- the drainage test procedure was set up as described in reference to Example 1 above. However, because of the much higher drainage rate of the filtrate (Sample 3) and the long fiber sample (Sample 4) a different evaluation measurement was obtained. As seen in reference to Table 3, the time required to completely evacuate free water was measured. All measurements set forth in Table 3 are set forth at a drainage rate of milliliters per second. The amount of glyoxylated polymer used to treat the samples was identical to that in Example 1. All samples were adjusted to have the same solids-to-water ratio as occurred in the original headbox sample, except for the filtrate, Sample 3, which had no suspended solids. The headbox sample consisted of a 63% long fiber and a 37% fines composition.
- the glyoxylated polymer significantly enhances the drainage rate of all the samples with the exception of long fibers in the process water.
- the process water has been depleted of the primary material responsible for slow drainage, i.e., fines.
- the freshly glyoxylated polymer brings about significant improvement in drainage rate.
- the paper furnish was prepared in a laboratory using defiberized paper stocks of 98% old corrugated container and 2% old newsprint.
- the drainage test procedures set forth in Example 1 were used and the results set forth below in Table 5.
- the liquid reactants are generally stable for periods ranging between 6 months to 1 year and may be stored in bulk tanks equipped with metering pumps.
- pumps may supply the required ingredients at a programmed flow rate to a header.
- the required ingredients must be dispensed simultaneously, followed by static mixing.
- Reactant A may be a polyacrylamide polymer, a copolymer of, for example, polyacrylamide and dimethlydiallyl ammonium chloride, or any number of linear or branched polymers modified by appendaged anionically or cationically charged groups.
- Reactant B may be a liquid cationic starch solution, chitin, guar gum, or a hybrid product, such as a starch-cationic polymer complex with a high percentage (approximately 50 percent) of synthetic polymer
- Reactant C may be a glyoxal at 40% solids or another suitable cross-linking agent.
- Non-limiting examples include other dialdehydes, anhydrides, dianhydrides, polyfunctional amines, and polyamines.
- sodium carbonate may be added in small amounts to increase the pH of the mixed reactants to a desired range of between about 7.8 to about 8.0.
- a typical reaction time of 15 to 30 minutes may be used in which the reactants are continually mixed by an agitator in the reactor or some other form of agitation.
- the pH of the resulting reactant is monitored and adjusted with either sodium carbonate or sulfuric acid to maintain a desired pH.
- the product concentration in the reactor will typically be in a range of about 15% to about 35% solids.
- the reactant is diluted with water using a static mixer.
- the resulting working solution of freshly prepared glyoxylated polymer should be at a concentration of between about 4% to about 6% solids and which is then pumped to an accompanying storage tank.
- two storage tanks may be employed to provide a continuous tank for operation.
- the reaction product necessary for the desired papermaking process may be metered via a metering pump.
- the metering pump is controlled by a distributed control system (DCS).
- DCS distributed control system
- Samples of glyoxylated polyacrylamide were prepared under laboratory conditions similar to conditions for use within a pulp or paper mill environment. Specifically, a base polymer of a low molecular weight, 3 mol percent charge polyacrylamide, designated PAM and a 40% aqueous solution of glyoxal was used to obtain various degrees of glyoxylation as measured relative to active PAM. The degrees of glyoxylation are set forth in Table 6.
- the samples were prepared at ambient laboratory conditions with the pH adjusted to 7.8 using a dilute caustic followed by 15 minutes of vigorous stirring. During the stirring process, the pH typically drifts to the value of between 7.5 to 7.7, but no further pH changes were made.
- the samples described above were evaluated for their drainage efficiency in a recycled paper furnish product.
- the furnish was prepared in the laboratory by re-pulping a mixture consisting of 80% corrugated container and 20% newsprint.
- the consistency of the furnish was 0.70% with a pH of 7.5.
- the evaluation consisted of mixing 500 ml samples of furnish in a Britt jar using a stir rotation of 800 rpm in 15 seconds followed by the introduction of the respective sample or control by a syringe injection.
- a polymer product application amount corresponding to 3 lbs./ton was selected with the pounds of polymer product being on the solids basis and the tons being on an oven-dry fiber basis.
- Samples 7 and 8 were polymers made 21 and 26 days, respectively, and stored under ambient laboratory conditions prior to use in the drainage test reported above. Samples 3 through 6 were prepared 24 hours prior to use.
- samples 5, 7, and 8 which have aged for 21 days as in sample 7 and 26 days as in sample 8, have a negative impact on desired properties.
- the use of freshly glyoxylated polymers improves drainage properties resulting in a more efficient paper manufacturing process.
- the freshly glyoxylated polymers can both increase the filtration efficiency of the furnish as well as prevent the formation of gels within storage and dispensing equipment used within the mill.
- the three samples set forth in Table 7 were made using dosages equivalent to 5 lbs/ton on a solids basis in the treated samples.
- the base for the starch treatment, sample 2 is a commercial liquid cationic starch.
- the base for the polymer, sample 3 is a cationic low molecular weight solution polymer.
- the base samples were used to prepare a 30% glyoxal and 70% base reaction product. Glyoxyalation was carried out at a pH of about 7.9 at 80° F. for a 15 minute period. This reaction process and timing simulates on-site production conditions within a paper or pulp mill.
- the glyoxylated starch and the glyoxylated polymer as set forth in Table 7 can also be used at a similar dosage level of about 3 to about 5 lb/ton on a solids basis to be applied as a spray between ply layers on forming webs in a papermaking process. It is also envisioned that the strength additives can be sprayed onto forming webs prior to the drying of the webs to bring about improvements in dry strength.
- the enhancements in the quality of the glyoxylated polymer strength and drainage additives are best achieved using the preparation methods described above in which the appropriate material quantities are combined and through control of the solution pH, mixing time, and post-reaction dilution control, allows for a high level of control over the quality and reactivity of the glyoxylated polymer additives.
- the automation overcomes problems in the prior art dealing with gelation, loss of efficiency through storage and shipping, sensitivity to temperatures, along with age-dependent variability in the reactivity of the glyoxylated polymer additives.
