Description
WO 97/14847 PCT/US96/16606 ACID RESISTANT CALCIUM CARBONATE FILLER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to calcium carbonate for use in papermaking, and related industries, and more particularly to a calcium carbonate having acid resistant properties.
Titanium dioxide and calcined clay have traditionally been utilized as filler materials in the preparation of neutral to weakly acidic paper in order to improve the optical properties, especially the brightness, of the resultant product. These materials, however, especially titanium dioxide, have the disadvantage of being very expensive, resulting in higher manufacturing costs and an uncompetitively priced paper product.
Calcium carbonate, particularly precipitated calcium carbonate, has been used as a filler material in the making of alkaline paper. Such usage results in a paper with enhanced optical properties, without the expense incurred in using titanium oxide fillers, resulting in a much less expensive product. Calcium carbonate, however, cannot generally be used as a filler in acidic paper because it decomposes in an acidic environment.
Consequently, there has long been a need to develop a calcium carbonate composition which is acid stabilized and resistant to decomposition at low pH, so that it can be utilized as a filler material in the manufacture of acidic paper, such as groundwood paper, where the use of an alkaline filler would have a negative impact on the final paper properties.
Paper made from mechanical pulps has been traditionally produced under acidic papermaking conditions because of "fiber alkaline darkening" that occurs as pH rises. This means that there is a reduction in brightness of the paper (brightness reversion) when WO 97/14847 PCT/US96/16606 2 the pH is raised from acid to alkaline in wood-containing systems. Alkaline darkening will occur to some degree in any wood pulps with significant lignin content. The degree of darkening depends on the particular pulps, Ph, and water quality. In general, ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate fillers buffer wet end in the 7.5-8.2 pH range. Acid-resistant calcium carbonate compositions thus provide a means for reducing the degree of fiber alkaline darkening and brightness reversion due to their ability to maintain a stabilized pH.
U. S. Patent 5,043,017 discloses and claims an acidstable calcium carbonate resistant to degradation in a mildly acidic environment which comprises a mixture of a calcium-chelating agent or a conjugate base, and a weak acid, such that calcium carbonate is coated by, and is in equilibrium with, the calcium-chelating agent or conjugate base and the weak acid. Preferred calcium carbonate compositions contain sodium hexametaphosphate and phosphoric acid.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide stabilized and acid resistant calcium carbonate compositions especially suitable for use in papermaking applications.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a process for the preparation of the aforesaid calcium carbonate compositions.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a paper having enhanced optical qualities prepared using the calcium carbonate compositions of the present invention.
Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved form of calcium carbonate which is stabilized and thus, acid resistant, to enable its use as a filler material in the making of neutral to weakly acid paper, and a process for producing this acid resistant calcium carbonate. More particularly, this invention concerns an acid resistant calcium carbonate consisting essentially of at least about O. 1 percent, based on the dry weight of the calcium carbonate, of a mixture of two or more weak acids, in admixture with the calcium carbonate. It has surprisingly been found that the inclusion of the mixture of two or more weak acids confers a higher degree of stability and acid resistance for calcium carbonate 1o in the presence of fiber slurry, and a longer term of pH stability than the prior art acid-stabilized calcium carbonate compositions.
There is provided according to a first embodiment of the invention an acid resistant calcium carbonate composition consisting essentially of at least a mixture of two or more weak acids in admixture with the calcium carbonate, the total amount of said weak acids S is in said mixture being about 1 to about 8 weight percent, based on the dry weight of the •calcium carbonate, said weak acids selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid and at least an organic, polymeric acid, said polymeric acid having a molecular weight in •o the range of about 750 to one million.

Detailed Description of the Invention The improved form of calcium carbonate prepared by the instant invention is stabilized, and thus, acid resistant, to enable its use as a filler material in the making of 25 neutral to weakly acid paper. While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory as to the operability of the present invention, it is believed that the acid resistance conferred upon the calcium carbonate compositions of the present invention is a result of the inactivation of the surface of the calcium carbonate by the addition of the mixture of the .000" two weak acids.
30 In the practice of the present invention, the calcium carbonate compositions are rendered acid resistant by the inclusion of at least about 0.1 percent, based on the dry weight of the calcium carbonate, of a mixture of two or more weak acids. Especially preferred as one component of the mixture of weak acids is an organic, polymeric weak 4 S ,id, such as polyacrylic or polymaleic acid.
I:\DayLib\LBFF\08424.doc While not wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the capability of the acid-stabilized calcium carbonate of the present invention to resist dissociation in an acidic environment is due to the polymer adsorption on the surface of the calcium carbonate, absorption of polymer functional groups on the calcium carbonate surface, and the formation of a buffering system between anionic functional groups of the polymer and a weak acid. This mechanism of polymer adsorption is distinct from absorption or reaction of the prior art sodium hexametaphosphate on the surface of calcium carbonate.
Polymer adsorption can provide a barrier coating on the surface of calcium carbonate which reduces the dissolution reaction of calcium carbonate. On the other hand, the 1o absorption or reaction of sodium hexametaphosphate is limited to the surface of the calcium carbonate.
The weak acids utilized in the compositions of the present invention are preferably weak acids selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, hexametaphosphoric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid, sulfurous acid, boric acid, acetic acid, weak acids derived from organic polymeric acids, such as polyacrylic acid, polymaleic acid and polycarboxylic acid, and mixtures thereof. As noted hereinbefore, the mixture of weak acids preferably contains at least one weak acid which is derived from an organic, polymeric acid. These organic polymeric acids are o *600 typically an organic polymer having a weight average molecular weight, M, in the range 4O*O 20; o of 750-1,000,000, consisting of regularly repeating units or chemically similar units, @6 S. connected by primary covalent bonds. The total amount of the weak acids utilized is at least 0.1 percent, based on the dry weight of the calcium carbonate, and is preferably about 1 to about 8 percent, based on the dry weight of the calcium carbonate.
*0b* •A preferred combination of weak acids for use in the present invention is 25 polyacrylic acid with phosphoric acid.
o The calcium carbonate utilized is preferably finely divided and it can be either a 0 Oprecipitated calcium carbonate or a natural ground limestone.
The process for producing this acid resistant calcium carbonate involves forming a mixture of calcium carbonate with at least about 0.1 percent, based on the dry weight of 0 30 the calcium carbonate, of the mixture of weak acids. The resultant mixture is blended for *0 a sufficiently long period of time to ensure uniform mixing of the ingredients.
The calcium carbonate can be utilized in the above-described process either as a dry S T, powder or an aqueous slurry with up to about 60 percent by weight solids content.
I:\DayLib\LIBFF\08424.doc I M I M The weak acids can be utilized in the process of preparation in either pure concentrated forms or as aqueous solutions.
In a preferred embodiment of the instant process, either the polymeric acid or the phosphoric acid can be first added, followed by the addition of the second acid.
Alternatively, the polymeric acid and phosphoric acid can be added at the same time, or the polymeric acid and phosphoric acid can be mixed together and then added to the calcium carbonate.
The composition of the present invention can be utilized to improve the optical properties of neutral to weakly acidic paper by its addition to the paper during standard o manufacturing processes. Typically, the calcium carbonate composition of the present invention is added to a first paper furnish containing components necessary for making acidic paper to thereby form a second paper furnish.
The invention will be further illustrated by the following Examples, which are to be considered illustrative of the invention, and not limited to the precise embodiments 15 shown.
