A kind of method improving fatty alcohol emulsion stability
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method improving fatty alcohol emulsion stability, fatty alcohol emulsion a kind ofly can play good froth breaking, the defoamer of degasification in paper making wet part, belongs to technology of fine chemicals.
Background technology
In paper making wet part, sizing agent, retention agent, filter aid, reinforcing agent, deinking agent etc. can be used according to different paper kind and there is surface-active auxiliary agent, be easy to produce bubble in white water system process, 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.
Antifoam agent for wet part of papermaking commercially available at present is mainly divided into this build and emulsion-type, and this build is modified polyether, and emulsion-type is fatty alcohol emulsion.Contrast the market price of two defoamers and the impact on paper-making sizing, finished paper quality, fatty alcohol emulsion type defoamer all occupies the absolute market advantage.
Mostly there is common feature in fatty alcohol emulsion type defoamer commercially available at present, As time goes on emulsion viscosity can become large gradually in storage process, even can not flow, this addition manner in use utilizing pump to pump to client brings difficulty, and therefore 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 natural fatty alcohol emulsion intercalation method domestic and international difficult problem that faces of researcher especially.All propose anion in DE-A-3601929 and DE-A-3039393 and/or non-ionic surface active agent can stablize synthetic fatty alcohol, but well can not 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 so prepared is easy to retrogradation, especially under the condition of storage temperature lower than 15 DEG C, but can only place 1 day in a lot of situation.
The stability of researcher both domestic and external to fatty alcohol emulsion has done a lot of research, as CN1781574A utilizes C
2 ~ 4alkylene oxide with have 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 natural fatty alcohol emulsion intercalation method; US5807502 utilizes C
6 ~ 18carry out stabile fat alcohol emulsion containing 1,2-glycol of straight chained alkyl and the addition product of oxirane as emulsifying agent, this type of emulsifying agent market is difficult to purchase, and synthesis material is expensive; Utilize fatty acid ester in addition, and the method stabile fat alcohol emulsion of anion surfactant is added by the emulsifying process later stage, but its anion surfactant need add at twice in the different stages, and through high-speed shearing equipment homogeneous emulsion after need first stirring, complex steps.
Emulsion intercalation method problem is solved by introducing new emulsifying agent in above prior art, or through first stir after high-speed shearing equipment homogeneous preparation, complex steps, production efficiency is low, and can not get stable product, user uses this defoamer very inconvenient.
