Description

2 Method for reducing negative effects of natural pitch contaminants in both pulping and papermaking operations The invention relates to resin and pitch control agents, which are aqueous, non-film forming, polymer dispersions and to a process for preventing the deposition of pitch particles in cellulosic pulp suspensions, by use of such polymer dispersions.
Cellulosic pulps contain a considerable proportion of organosoluble matter which is generally referred to as resin or pitch. The resins are extracted from the wood during the pulping process and constitute a significant nuisance in cellulosic suspensions because the resin particles are sticky, tend to agglomerate and form adherent deposits on the pulping and papermaking machinery. The removal of water during papermaking is normally carried out using a type of fabric mesh, commonly referred to as machine wires or felts. Resin or pitch deposits clog and block the small openings in the fabrics inhibiting drainage and causing sheet defects, such as holes in the finished paper. Deposits which accumulate on the internal surfaces of pulp and backwater chests can suddenly be released and displayed as resin lumps in the paper sheet. Larger lumps can break the paper sheet in the machine, leading to loss of production.
For years there have already been products supplied as passivating agents for treating pulp contaminants such as resin or pitch. These dissolved products are intended to make the surface of the tacky impurities more hydrophilic and hence keep them more wettable, thereby reducing the affinity for hydrophobic surfaces.
Hydrophobic surfaces are present on, for example, wires, felts and rollers;
hydrophobizing is boosted further by coating, with sizing agent or defoamer, for example, thereby further promoting the attachment of pitch.
In certain cases, resins and pitch do not cause any problems in papermaking, if they do not agglomerate. To prevent agglomeration, various methods are known for chemically modifying the pitch particles that have remained in the stock stream and the adsorption thereof on support materials, such as machine wires.

In the context of these problems, the procedures below have been adopted in practice, but lead only to partial success.
On the one hand, dispersion may take place, with the aim of changing the charge on the pitch by means of anionic and nonionic dispersants. This forms colloidal, anionically charged or nonionic particles which counteract agglomeration and deposition. The wetting properties of the dispersant are very important in this case, since the pitch is hydrophobic.
Alternatively, according to the literature, the tack of the pitch can be reduced in the following ways:
- Fixing of the strongly anionic contaminants by means of strongly cationic fixatives (formation of what are called polyelectrolyte complexes; the reaction product then adsorbs on the anionic fiber).
- Absorption on pigments of high specific surface area (e.g., talc, modified clay, mica, smectite, bentonite), often with subsequent flocculation by means of polymers in order to bind separable macroflocs.
- Enveloping (masking) with nonionic hydrophilic polymers (polyvinyl alcohol) or zirconium compounds, more particularly zirconium acetate and ammonium zirconium carbonate.
Known strongly cationic fixatives include polyethyleneimine (PEI), polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC), polyvinylamine (PVAm), polyaluminum chloride (PAC), polyacrylannide (PAAM), polyamine, etc. The sphere of action of fixatives extends from about 1 nm to 50 micrometers in terms of the particle size of the pitch, depending on the nature and modification of the chemicals used.
Materials with a low surface energy (wires, felts, roller surfaces) exhibit a more hydrophobic behaviour and therefore possess a high affinity for hydrophobic
3 compounds, such as resins and pitch, thereby resulting in contamination of the wires and hence to defects and/or reduction in the dewatering performance of felts.
Adsorbents used are, in particular, various types of talc with specific surface modifications and particle-size distribution, which on account of their hydrophobic and organophilic surface are capable of attaching to adhesive constituents and entraining them with the paper. Particles of adhesive encapsulated in this way have less of a tendency to deposit on hot machinery parts.
Protein solutions are also employed as agents for masking sticky impurities.
The pitch agglomerates tend to deposit on machinery parts, wires, cloths, drying cylinders, and this consequently leads to marks, holes, and instances of web sticking, and consequently to breakages in the wet section and drying section in the course of winding and rewinding or in the course of printing.
DE-102009035884.6 / EP 2 462 278 by Clariant discloses a method for reducing negative effects of adhesive synthetic contaminants in systems of substances comprising waste paper. In waste paper the main problem are the pitch agglomerates (stickies) which lead to a deposit on the machinery parts.
In contrary in the process for producing cellulosic pulp suspensions the negative effects are caused by natural pitch contaminants in both pulping and papermaking operations. These contaminants tend to deposit during the production on the cellulosic material and lead to ugly black spots.
In order to prevent resin deposits talc has been known in the prior art to prevent and control pitch deposits. Using talc to control pitch deposits, however, has certain disadvantages. For instance, the system is highly sensitive to shear.
Talc, moreover, has poor retention properties and frequently causes clogging of the felts. Talc may adversely affect resin sizing, and stabilizes foam. The two inorganic products, talc and bentonite, require laborious dispersion.
4 There continues to be a need for improvement in reducing the tackiness of natural pitch and resin particles.

150 nm, preferably less than 120 nm.
The aqueous polymer dispersion may be applied in combination with calcium and or magnesium salts, often naturally occurring in the processing water.
Hardness machinery.
Where water hardness levels are very low, there may not be sufficient electrolyte to initiate de-stabilisation of the emulsion particles. The aqueous polymer dispersion may therefore be optionally applied in combination with component C, a cellulosic fibre slurry. Component C is preferably selected from the following group:
polyethyleneimine (PEI), polydiallyldimethylamnnonium chloride (polyDADMAC), polyvinylamine (PVAnn), polyaluminum chloride (PAC), zirconium salts, polyacryl-The present invention allows Component C to be added during pulp or paper manufacture, either before, after or together with the aqueous polymer dispersions. When Component C and aqueous polymer dispersions are pre-mixed before being added to the fibrous slurry, the particle size increases and the the process of destabilisation is initiated. This premature destabilisation is described with the term "pre-crashing".
It is not essential but preferential to dilute both components before combining them in a pre-crashing application. For aqueous polymer dispersions of the present invention, a dilution of 1 to 20 % (based on dry content) is preferred, more preferably 1 to 5 %. For Component C, a dilution of 1 to 10 % (based on dry content) is preferred, more preferably 1 to 5 %. The ratio of the diluted components is controlled using individual dosing pumps and, immediately after blending, the combined components are passed through a static mixer and then into the suction side of a pulp transfer pump, in order to facilitiate efficient distribution within the fibrous slurry.
In order to boost the efficiency of the polymer dispersion of the invention and its stability, it is further possible to add a further component D optionally in the form of a surfactant.
Further to components A, B, and/or D, the polymer dispersion comprises water (component E).
In one preferred embodiment the aqueous dispersion comprises 2 % to 50 %, preferably 5 % to 30 % of component A, 1 % to 30 %, preferably 3 % to 10 % of component B, 0 % to 0.3 %, preferably 0 % to 0.2 % of component D, and 96 % to 17.7 %, preferably 90 % to 45 % of water (component E).
All percentages here relate to % by weight.
In the presence of Ca2+, the aqueous dispersion constitutes a self-coagulating nanodispersion. The polymer dispersion of the invention attaches to the hydrophobic sticky particles, incorporating them into the precipitating polymer dispersion and thus detackifying them (Fig. 1).
