Background technology
In paper making wet part, according to different paper kinds, can use sizing agent, retention agent, filter aid, reinforcing agent, deinking agent etc. and there is surface-active auxiliary agent, in whitewater closure cyclic process, be easy to produce bubble, the existence of these bubbles has a great impact paper, make that degree of sizing is poor, spot appears in paper, diaphanous spot and aperture etc., even cause disconnected paper, and easily make the operational efficiency of pump decline, increase energy consumption.
Commercially available Antifoam agent for wet part of papermaking is mainly divided into this build and emulsion-type at present, and this build is modified polyether, and emulsion-type is fatty alcohol emulsion.Contrast the market price and the impact on paper-making sizing, finished paper quality of two defoamers, fatty alcohol emulsion type defoamer all occupies the absolute market advantage.
Mostly there is common feature in commercially available fatty alcohol emulsion type defoamer at present, it is large that As time goes on emulsion viscosity can become gradually in storage process, even can not flow, this addition manner of in use utilizing pump to pump to client brings difficulty, so the stability of fatty alcohol emulsion type defoamer is an important indicator of this defoamer.
Fatty alcohol is divided into synthetic fatty alcohol and natural fatty alcohol, the stability of the natural fatty alcohol emulsion difficult problem that researcher faces both at home and abroad especially.In DE-A-3601929 and DE-A-3039393, all propose anion and/or non-ionic surface active agent can be stablized synthetic fatty alcohol, but can not well disperse natural fatty alcohol.In whole emulsion, natural fatty alcohol can only account for 20% of fatty alcohol used at most, if the content of the natural alcohol in fatty alcohol is greater than 20%, the fatty alcohol emulsion of preparation is easy to retrogradation so, especially storage temperature lower than the condition of 15 ℃ under, but can only place 1 day in a lot of situation.
Researcher both domestic and external has done a lot of research to the stability of fatty alcohol emulsion, as CN1781574A utilizes C2 ~ 4 alkylene oxide and has the addition product of the primary alconol of branched alkyl to carry out stabile fat alcohol emulsion, but these class methods still can not solve the stability of natural fatty alcohol emulsion; What US5807502 utilized C6 ~ 18 contains 1 of straight chained alkyl, and the addition product of 2-glycol and oxirane carrys out stabile fat alcohol emulsion as emulsifying agent, and this type of emulsifying agent market is difficult to buy, and synthesis material is expensive; Utilize in addition fatty acid ester, and by the emulsifying process later stage, add the method stabile fat alcohol emulsion of anion surfactant, but its anion surfactant need add at twice in the different stages, and after need first stirring through high-speed shearing equipment homogeneous emulsion, complex steps.
In above prior art, by introducing new emulsifying agent, solve the stability problem of emulsion, or after first stirring high-speed shearing equipment homogeneous preparation, complex steps, production efficiency is low, and can not get stable product, user uses this defoamer very inconvenient.
