Silica-based sols
Generality of the present invention relates to the silica-based sols that is suitable for papermaking.More specifically say, the present invention relates to silica-based sols and silica base particle, their production method and their purposes in papermaking.Method of the present invention provides silica base particle and has had high drainage and retention property, high stability and the highly filled colloidal sol that contains silica base particle.
Background
In field of papermaking, to contain cellulose fibre and optional filler and the water-borne dispersions (being called paper stock) of additive and feed in the head box (headbox), it is discharged to paper stock on the forming net.Water leaches through forming net from paper stock, so that form the further dehydration and dry of dryer section at paper machine of wet web (paper of wet web) and paper web on the net.Usually with drainage with keep auxiliary agent and be incorporated in the paper stock, so that help drainage and increase the absorption of fine grained to the cellulose fibre, so that they can be retained in the online fiber.
Silica base particle is widely used as drainage and keeps auxiliary agent with charged organic polymer image anion and cation acrylamide type polymer and CATION and amphoteric starch.In U.S. patent Nos.4,388,150; 4,961,825; 4,980,025; 5,368,833; 5,603,805; 5,607,552; With 5,858,174; And this additive system disclosed in the International Patent Application WO 97/18351.These systems belong to the most effective drainage of present use and keep auxiliary agent.
The silica base particle that is suitable as drainage and keeps auxiliary agent is normally with aqueous colloidal dispersions, i.e. the form supply of so-called colloidal sol.The colloidal sol of industrial use has the silica content of about 7-15wt% usually, contains specific area and is 300m at least 2The particle of/g.Colloidal sol with silica base particle of high-specific surface area more is normally rarer, to improve storage stability and to avoid gel to form.
It is desirable to, can provide to have further improved drainage and retention property and even the silica-based sols and the particle of better stability.Also it is desirable to, can be provided for preparing the silica-based sols with improved drainage, reservation and stability and the method for particle.Still it is desirable to, can provide to have the paper technology that improves drainage and/or reservation.
The present invention
According to the present invention, provide the flocculant that is suitable as in desalt and as the drainage in papermaking with keep the silica-based sols and the particle of auxiliary agent.According to silica-based sols of the present invention and particle performance the good stability in long-time, significantly high surface area stability and avoid the high stability of gel formation, therefore, they can prepare under high-specific surface area and high silica concentration and load and transport.This colloidal sol has the improvement ability that keeps high-specific surface area in the storage of high silica concentration.Silica-based sols and particle have further obtained very good or improved drainage and retention, when uniting use with anion, CATION and/or both sexes organic polymer.The invention enables speed that may increase paper machine and the additive that uses low dosage to obtain corresponding drainage and/or keep effect in view of the above, thereby produced improved paper technology and economic benefit.Therefore the present invention relates to silica base particle and contains the hydrosol of silica base particle, also is called silica-based sols and their production method here, as further defining in the claims.
As further defining in the appended claims, the invention still further relates to silica-based sols and particle, the organic polymer that preferred combination is described here is as the drainage in papermaking with keep the purposes of auxiliary agent.Here employed term " drainage and keep auxiliary agent " is meant one or more components (auxiliary agent, reagent or additive), in the time of in being added into paper making raw material, obtains better drainage and/or the retention compared when not adding these components.The invention further relates to and be used for the method for producing paper from the water-borne dispersions that contains the optional filler of cellulose fiber peacekeeping, it comprises silica base particle and at least a charged organic polymer is added in the suspension that suspension is shaped and drainage on the net.Therefore the present invention relates to the method as further defining in appended claims.
Silica-based sols according to the present invention is to contain anionic silica-based particles, promptly with silica (SiO 2) or silicic acid be the hydrosol of particle on basis.Particle is colloidal state preferably, promptly in the colloidal state scope of granularity.Silica-based sols can have at 10-45%, the S-value in suitable 20-40% and the preferred 25-35% scope.The S-value can be as Iler ﹠amp; Carry out measurements and calculations as described in the Dalton in J.Phys.Chem.60 (1956), 955-957.The degree that the S-value representation is assembled or microgel forms, low S-value has embodied higher concentration class.
