According to the invention, the mechanical pulp component and the binding agent are mixed together and the other components are mixed with the mechanical pulp component after it has been mixed with the binding agent.

Description

PROCEDURE FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER

The present invention relates to a procedure for the manufacture of paper, in which procedure at least one mechanical pulp component, a binding agent and other components are mixed to form paper pulp, the paper pulp is made into a web and the web is dried and, if desired, finished.
In the present application, 'paper' refers to web-like products generally produced by means of a pa-per or cardboard machine and containing cellulose fib-res and/or lignocellulose fibres, products which are either coated or uncoated, thinner or thicker, consis-ting of one or more layers, and which are generally called paper or cardboard.
The present patent application does not con-tain a more detailed description of the formation of a paper web from paper pulp in a paper machine, the dry-ing of the web or the possible finishing; as for these matters, reference is made to the methods generally known in the industry and to relevant literature.
The quality requirements regarding different paper sorts are continuously growing. In the case of printing paper, excessively fast drying of the prin-ting ink may result in a rough paper surface and the formation of steam bubbles, which may lead to cracking of the paper while the surface remains undamaged- This problem is encountered especially when the z-strength or internal bond strength of the paper is too low. The problem is particularly difficult in the case of paper that has been manufactured using a high-intensity for-mer for web formation.
As for the features characteristic of the in-vention, reference is made to the claims.
The invention is based on research work in which it was established that the internal bond strength of paper can be increased by mixing a mecha-nical pulp component and a binding agent together and adding the other pulp components to this mixture at a later stage.
Particularly good results have been reached by postrefining the mechanical pulp component and mi-xing the binding agent into the postrefined mechanical pulp component.
Similarly, very good results have been reached by performing the postrefining of the mechani-cal pulp component after the binding agent has been added to it.
The invention allow2 the binding agent to spread uniformly into the mechanical pulp component and get bound with it. At the same time, when postre-fining is employed, there appear in the pulp component new fibre surfaces, to which the binding agenz can ef-fectively adhere-The postrefining is done at a desired pulp consistency, e.g. over 210, and for high-consistency pulps up to 45 a; thus, the refining can preferably be implemented at a consistency of e.g. 3 - 18 %.
The energy consumption in postrefining may vary within broad limits and is e.g. 10 - 100 kWh/ton, preferably e.g. of the order of 10 - 20 - 70 kWh/ton.
- In the procedure of the invention, the postrefining can be performed using any type of pulp refiner, as is generally known in paper and pulp technology.
The mechanical pulp used is any kind of mechanical pulp, e.g. groundwood, refiner groundwood or recycled pulp containing groundwood and/or refiner groundwood or a mixture of these in arbitrary propor-tions. The pulp used in making printing paper, to which the invention appertains in particular, is gene-rally pulp defibrated, sortad and bleached in a known manner The mechanical pulp may be.=produced from any sort of wood, stalked plants or in general from any vegetable fibre, e.g. broad-leaved trees, coniferous trees, straw, reeds, etc.
Paper produced according to the invention may contain mechanical pulp in arbitrary proportions as is generally known in paper industry, e.g. 10 - 80 wt-%, usually 20 - 60 wt-a.
The proportion of binding agent added into the mechanical pulp may be as is ganerally known in paper industry, e.g. 2 - 3 a, even more, e.g. up to 5 a. The binding agent may be any binding agent commonly used in paper industry. The binding agent may be e.g.
selected from groups starch derivatives, galacto man-nones, cellulose derivatives, acryl amides, different types of polymeric dispersions (i.e. latexes), etc.
The binding agents may be non-ionic, anionic or catio-nic. Accordingly e-g. following binding agents are mentioned: natural xanthan gums, such as arabic gum, ghatti gum, pectin, dragacanth, karaya, alagin, gua-rar, guarin, carubin or other non-modified or modified anionic or cationic polysaccharide compounds; amylo-pectines and other starch derivatives and starches;
CMC, ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose and other cellulose derivatives; modified cationic or anionic or non-ionic binding agents, as are generally known in paper industry (e.g. US patent 5104487).
Moreover, the paper pulp may contain any ot-her known additives, such as fillers, agents improving a certain property or certain properties of paper, co-lorants, pigments, etc., as is known in ihe art.
In the following, the invention is described in detail by the aid of a few examples of its embodi-ments, reference being made to Fig. 1, which repre-sents the Scott-bond strength of paper produced using different binding agents and different mixing methods.
Example 1 This experiment was carried out to study the effect of the binding agent on the properties of paper manufactured from hardwood mechanical pulp when the binder was added, to non-postrefined pulp, the binder and Lhe pulp were postrefined together or when the binder was added to postrefined pulp. The pulp used had been bleached with hydrogen peroxide, dosed at 1.0 a.
Postrefining was performed using a EW labora-tory refiner, SCE 100 kWh/ton. When the binder was ad-ded before the refining, the chemical was added into the pulp, the pulp was mixed for 25 min. and analysed, the pulp was refined, mixed for 25 mi.n. and analysed.
When the chemical was added after the refining, the pulp was mixed for 25 min., the pulp was refined, the binding agent was added into the pulp, the pulp was mixed for 25 min. and then analysed.
The chemicals used were starch, 2 a; CMC, 0.5 a; and modified polysaccharide, 2 a_ The experiment also included a 50-min. mixing time with modified po-lysaccharide. In addition, a 0-test without a binder and postrefining without a binder were carried out.
The results are shown in Table 1.

The reaults are also shown in a graphic format in Fig. 1.
According to the test results, mixing the binding agent in postrefined pulp or postrefining the pulp after the mixing clearly increased the bond atrength of paper produced from the pulp.

Example 2 This experiment was carried out to study the effect of the poztrefining power on the properties of paper produced from the pulp. Pulp prepared in a man-ner corresponding to Example 1 was used in the experi-ment, the postrefiriing power levels (PR SCE) were 0, 50 and 75 kWh/ton. The mixing times were 0, 20 min., 40 min. and 60 min. The additive used was modified po-lysaccharide, 2 %. The refining was performed using an industrial-scale refiner.
The bond strength values of paper produced from the pulp are shown in Table 2-Table 2 Pulp 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 Binder None None None None 2% 2% 20 2% 2~

In addition, the use of starch at two dos-age levels was tested. The table shows as a reference the results of a pilot test carried out with the same pulp; in this test, the chemical was added before the postrefining. The pulp used had been produced in a manner corresponding to Examples 1 and 2.
The results are shown in Table 3.
