Abstract

A process for the production of paper by forming and dewatering a suspension of cellulose containing fibers and optional fillers on a wire. Three components are added to the suspension, a cationic starch, a cationic polyacrylamide and a polymeric sili-cic acid, in order to improve retention and dewatering at paper production.

Description

A process for the production of paper The present invention relates to a process for the production of paper utilizing an improved retention- and dewatering system. More particularly the invention relates to the use of a combination of a cationic polyacrylamide, a cationic starch and polymeric silicic acid as retention- and dewatering system in the production of paper.
It is previously known to use combinations of a cationic polymeric retention agent and an anionic inorganic silica based sol at the production of paper in order to improve retention and dewatering. In the European patent 41056 is for example disclosed a combination of a silica sol and cationic starch. In the PCT application WO 86/05826 is described combinations of silica sols, containing aluminum modified silica particles, and cationic polyacrylamide. In the PCT
application WO 86/00100 are disclosed combinations of the same silica sols and cationic starch. Combinations of silica sols and other cationic polymers are also known. The commercial silica based colloids which have been increasingly used in papermaking together with cationic polymeric retention agents during the last few years are of the type which has colloidal particles generally with a particle size of from about 4 nm to about 7 nm, ie a specific surface area of from about 700 to about 300 m2/g, although it is known, eg from the European patent 41056, to use polymeric silicic acid in papermaking. It has generally been considered that colloidal silicic acid sols with particles of above given size give the best results and these have also been preferred with regard to stability. In the Japanese patent application with Early-Disclosure No. 87-110998 it has also been suggested to use colloidal silica withboth cationic starch and a cationic or amphoteric polyacryl-amide. Also according to this application the colloidal silicic acid should preferably have a surface area of from 300 to 700 m2/g and in all examples a colloidal silica with a specific surface area of 500 or 550 m2/g has been used. The effect of systems comprising an anionic inorganic silica based sol and a cationic component is .~, ~
.,, ~

based on interaction between two substances of different charges and it is supposed that the sol particles with their strong anionic charges to some extent give rise to cross-linking of the polymeric retention agent.
According to the present invention it has been found that a combination of polymeric silicic acid with two cationic polymers, cationic starch and cationic polyacrylamide, gives a surprisingly great improvement of the retention and dewatering effect at papermaking. This improvement in effect does not originate from the combination of the cationic polymers as such, nor can it be predicted from the effect of the combination of the polymeric silicic acid with the individual cationic polymers. A
synergistic effect is obtained when cationic starch and cationic polyacrylamide are used together with the polymeric silicic acid, as is evident from the examples. Thanks to the improved retention and dewatering a greater part of the fine fibers and optional filler is retained in the paper and at the same time the speed of the paper machine can be increased and the energy consumption in the press and drying sections can be decreased.
The present invention thus relates to a process for the production of paper by forming and dewatering a suspension of cellulose fibers and optional fillers on a wire.

~ 2069308 In accordance with the invention there is provided a process for the production of paper from a suspension of cellulose containing fibers wherein cationic polymer and an anionic inorganic substance are added to the suspension and the suspension is formed and dewatered on a wire, characterized in that to the fiber suspension is added a cationic polyacrylamide, a cationic starch and a polymeric silicic acid having a specific surface area of at least 1050 m2/g.
The suspension may also include fillers.
A suitable polymeric silicic acid is disclosed in Swedish Patent Specification 8801951-8. The polymeric silicic acid has a very high specific surface area which at its lowest is 1050 m2/g. The particles suitably have a specific surface area within the range of from 1100 to 1700 m2/g and preferably within the range of from 1200 to 1600 m2/g. The given specific surface area is measured by titration according to the method disclosed by Sears in Analytical Chemistry 28(1956)1981. The polymeric silicic acid can be prepared by acidification of alkali metal silicate, such as potassium or sodium water glass, preferably sodium water glass. These are available with varying _ 3 molar ratios of SiO2 to Na20 or K20 and the molar ratio is usually within the range of from 1.5:1 to 4.5:1 and the water glass usually has an original pH around 13 or above 13. Any such alkali metal silicate or water glass can be used for the preparation of the fine particle polymeric silicic acids and this preparation is carried out by acidification of a diluted aqueous solution of the silicate. For the acidification mineral acids, such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid, or acid ion exchange resins can for example be used. A number of other chemicals for acidification at production of polysilicic acid are also known and some examples of such other chemicals are ammonium sulphate and carbon dioxide. Mineral acids or acid ion exchange resins or combinations of these are suitably used. The acidification is carried out to a pH within the range of from 1 to 9 and suitably to a pH within the range of from 1.5 to 4. The polymeric silicic acid which is termed activated silicic acid, which is prepared by partial neutralization of the alkali metal content to a pH of about 8 to 9 and polymerization usually during about half an hour to an hour, can be used as such directly thereafter but must otherwise be diluted to a content of not more than 1 per cent by weight for interrupting the polymerization or be acidified to the preferred pH range in order to avoid gelation.
The acidification according to the above is most suitably carried out by means of acid ion exchangers, among other things to get more stable products and to avoid that salts from the acidification are added to the stock through the polymeric silicic acid. The polymeric silicic acid which is formed at the acidification consists of macromolecules or particles of a size of the order of 1 nm which form voluminous chains and networks. Compared with the silica sols of larger particle size which are used commercially in papermaking those which are utilized according to the present invention are considerably less stable both with regard to stability in relation to concentration and stability at storage. The polymeric silicic acids should 2 0 6 ~ 3 0 8 PCT/SE90/0068~

thus after the acicification suitably not be present ~n higher concentrations than about 5 per cent by weight, and preferably not higher than 2 per cent by weight. They should not be stored for too long times but it has, nonetheless, been found that a certain storage time can be advantageous. ThuS, for example, a storage of a day or a couple of days at a concentration of not more than about 4 to 5 per cent by weight is entirely acceptable with re-gard to stability and can even result in an improved effect. At a concentration of 1%, or below, storage for two to three weeks without impaired stability is possible and all the time with good effect, or even better effect than without storage. After storage for about three weeks at room temperature an initial gelation is noticeable.
Although the preparation of polymeric sil~cic acids with high specific surface area by acidification as above described is the preferred method, it is also possible to prepare such polymeric silicic acids which have the high specific surface area and which consist of macromolecules or particles of a size of the order of l nm which form voluminous chains and networks by other methods. Sucn polymeric silicic acids can thus be prepared by polymeriza-tion of an alkali metal silicate solution usins an in-itiator such as alum, sodium aluminate and sodium borate.
The polymeric silicic acids which are used accordins to the present process should thus be produced in connec-tion with their use and such a production at the location in or close to a paper mill is per se advantageous in that cheap raw materials and simple preparation processes are used. The economy of the present process will thus be very good since the polymeric silicic acid is economically advantageous.
Cationic polyacrylamides are per se known as addi-tives in papermaking, primarily to increase retention of fine fibers and fillers, and any cationic polyacrylamide can be used in the present process. The cationic slarch can be a for papermaking conventional cationic starch. The starch is made cationic by substitution with ammonium _ 5 groups in a per se known manner. It is suitable to use a starch with a degree of substitution of at least 0.01.
The amount of polymeric silicic acid which is used depends on the specific stock, the presence of fillers and other conditions at the papermaking. Too small amounts do not give any effect and too great amounts do not give any further improvement of dewatering and retention but only increased costs. The amount of polymeric silicic acid should suitably be at least 0.01 kg/ton, calculated as SiO2 on dry fibers and optional fillers, and is suitably within the range from 0.05 to 5 kg/ton. Amounts within the range of from 0.1 to 3 kg/ton are preferred.
The weight ratio between the total amount of the cationic retention agents, ie polyacrylamide and starch, and polymeric silicic acid can vary within wide limits depending on the composition of the stock, the presence of filler etc..
Usually the ratio of polyacrylamide+starch to polymeric silicic acid, calculated as SiO2, iS above 0.1:1, suitably above 1:1. The upper limit is not critical but is mainly decided from reasons of economy. A weight ratio between (polyacrylamide + starch) and polymeric silicic acid within the range of from 1:1 to 100:1 is preferred.
The weight ratio between cationic starch and cationic polyacrylamide should be within the range of from 0.5:1 to 200:1. The weight ratio is suitably within the range of from 2:1 to 100:1 and preferably from 4:1 to 50:1.
The improvement of the retention and dewatering through the disclosed process is obtained over a pH of the stock of from about 4 to about 10.
The three components can be added to the fiber suspen-sion in arbitrary order. The position for the additions is not critical, but it is preferred not to add the polyacrylamide to the stock in an early stage of the paper production since it is sensitive to the type of mechanical stress which, for example, occurs in mixing apparatus. It is preferred to add the cationic starch to the stock first and then to add the cationic polyacrylamide or the polymeric silicic acid in any order. A particular improvement ih .,,~
3 2 C 6 ~ 3 0 8 PCT/SE90/00688 in cam~arison with known technique is obtained if the cationic starch is added to the stock first, followed by the cationic polyacrylamide and then the polymeric silicic acld.
The three component system according to the invention can be used for production of paper from different kinds of stocks containing cellulose fibers. The three component system can for example be used for stocks from fibres from chemical pulp, such as sulphate and sulphite pulp, thermo-mechanical pulp, refiner mechanical pulp or groundwood pulp, from as well hardwood as softwood. The system can of course also be used for stocks based on recycled fibres.
Particularly good results have been obtained with stocks which are usually considered as difficult, namely both such which contain comparatively high amounts of non-cellulose substances such as lignin and dissolved organic materials, for example different types of mechanical pulps such as groundwood pulp, and such which contain recycled fibers.
The combination according to the invention is thus par-ticularly suitable for stocks containing at least 25 percent by weight of mechanical pulp and/or pulp from recycled fibers, based on the amount of dry pulp. The terms paper and paper production which are used herein do of course include, in addition to paper and paper production, other cellulose fiber containing products in sheet or web form - and their preparation, for example pulp sheets, board and paper board.
The present combinations can of course be used in the production of paper in combination with other conventional additives for papermaking such as hydrophobing agents, dry strength agents, wet strength agents etc.. It is particu-larly suitable to use aluminum comsounds in combination with the polymeric silicic acid and the two cationic polymers since it has been found that these can give a further improvement of retention and dewatering. Any for papermaking per se known aluminum compound can used, for example alum, polyaluminum compounds, aluminates, aluminum chloride and aluminum nitrate. The amount of aluminum _ .
compound can vary within wide limits and it is suitable to use the aluminum compound, calculated as Al2O3, in a weight ratio to the polymeric silicic acid, calculated as SiO2, of at least 0.01:1. The ratio suitably does not exceed 3:1 and is prefer-ably within the range of from 0.02:1 to 1.5:1. The polyalumi-num compounds can for example be polyaluminum chlorides, poly-aluminum sulfates and polyaluminum compounds containing both chloride and sulfate ions. The polyaluminum compounds can also contain other anions than chloride ions, for example anions from sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, organic acids such as citric acid and oxalic acid.
The invention is further illustrated in the following examples which, however, are not intended to limit the same.
Parts and per cent relate to parts by weight and per cent by weight respectively, unless otherwise stated.
Example 1 In this example the dewatering was evaluated by means of a "Canadian Standard Freeness (CSF) Tester" which is the conventional method for characterizing of dewatering or drainage capability according to SCAN-C 21:65.
In the tests polymeric silicic acid, cationic poly-acrylamide and cationic starch were used and the stock was made up from 100~ groundwood pulp.
The polymeric silicic acid was prepared from water glass (Na2O.3.3SiO2) which was diluted with water to an SiO2 content of 5 per cent by weight. The aqueous solution was ion exchanged with ion exchange resin Amberlite IR-120 to a pH of 2.3. The specific surface area of the obtained acid polymeric silicic acid was measured by titration according to the method given earlier and was found to be 1450 m2/g.
To the stock 0.5 kg/t of alum, calculated as Al2 (S04) 3.18H2O were added. The pH of the stock was 7.8 and its dewatering capability was 170 ml CSF when the stock contained only groundwood pulp and 180 ml when alum had been added. A~
additions of chemicals were made at a mixing speed of 800 rpm in a "Britt Dynamic Drainage Jar" with a blocked outlet for 45 seconds and the system was * Trade Mark WO9l/07543 2 0 6 ~ ~ 0 8 PCT/SE90/00688 then transferred to the Canadian Standard Freeness Tester apparatus. In all test the chemicals were added in the order cationic starch, cationic polyacrylamide and poly-meric silicic acid. The additions of chemicals have been calculated in kg per ton dry stock system (fibers I flll-ers) and the amounts of polymeric silicic acid, cationic starch and cationic polyacrylamide are given as dry sub-stance.

Even when the addition 25 of polymeric silicic acid is reduced the effect is clearly better than when only two of the components are used, as evident from test 8. Tests 9 and 10 show that also the addition of polyacrylamide and starch can be reduced without any drastic reduction of the positive effect.
30 Example 2 In order to evaluate the addition of chemicals on retention of fillers and fine fibers a "sritt Dynamic Drainage Jar" was used, which is the conventional method for evaluation of retention in paper industry. The agita-35 tion speed was 800 rpm.
The stock was composed of 60% bleached birch sulphate and 40% bleached pine sulphate. 30% of chalk were added to the stock as filler. 1 g/l of Na2SO4.10H2O was added. The WO9l/07543 2 0 C 9 ~ 0 8 PCT/SE90/0068X

concentration of the stock was 5 g/l and the pH was 7.5.
The fines fraction was 30.3%.
The polymeric silicic acld was a polymeric silicic acid prepared from water glass using ion exchange resin for preparation of an acid sol that had been stored for a day and night as a 5% solution and then diluted to a concentra-tion of 1% and then further stored for 3 days and nights before use. The specific surface area for the polymeric silicic acid was 1500 m2/g. The chemicals were added in the order starch, polyacrylamide and polymeric silicic acld. A
comparison was also made with a commercial silica sol which had been alkali stabilized to a molar ratio SiO2:Na2O of about 40 and which had particles with a specific surface area of 500 m2/g.
