The para-aramid particle
Randomly, in one embodiment, the pulp component also comprises substantially or does not contain fully the granular para-aramid particle of fibril.If add these particles, then their concentration that should be added in all component total solids is no more than 50wt%, and preferably the concentration in all component total solids is 20~50wt%, and most preferably the concentration in all component total solids is 25~35wt%.In view of being made by the para-aramid fiber, they contribute to the excellent wear-resisting and dispersiveness of generation pulp.Because particle do not contain fibril substantially, so these particles also play mixing dose effect, impel other composition to be dispersed in mixture and the slurry.The particle that plays this kind effect is referred to as processing aid or auxiliary agent usually.Substantially or fully the average largest dimension that does not conform to the granular para-aramid particle of fibril be 50~2000 μ m (0.05~2mm), preferred 50~1500 μ m, most preferably 75~1000 μ m.But, less than the particle of about 50 μ m will lose the friction and sealing applications in validity.The above particle of about 2000 μ m can not keep fully being dispersed in the water when mixing with other composition.Fig. 3 is the microphoto image that can be used as the para-aramid particle of component in the inventive method.
Aramid polymer
The polymer that is suitable for making aramid fibre of the present invention and aramid particles is the synthesis of aromatic polyamide.This polymer must have into fine molecular weight just can be configured as fiber.This polymer can comprise polyamide homopolymer, copolymer and their mixture based on aromatics, and wherein (CONH-) key directly is connected on 2 aromatic rings at least 85% acid amides.These rings can be not replace or replace.When 2 rings along strand each other during para-orientation, this polymer is a para-aramid.Preferred copolymer contains and is no more than other diamines of 10% and substitutes main diamines used when being shaped this polymer, or is no more than other diacid chloride of 10% and substitutes main diacid chloride used when being shaped this polymer.Additive can use with aromatic polyamides; And found, can carry out blend with aromatic polyamides or combine up to other polymeric material of 13wt%.Preferred para-aramid be poly-(poly P phenylene diamine terephthalamide) (PPD-T) and copolymer.
Other optional additive
Other additive can randomly add, as long as they keep being suspended in the solution in blend step and the effect of step to top listed necessary solid constituent finish grinded in not obvious change.Suitable additive comprises pigment, dyestuff, antioxidant, flame-retardant compound, and other processing and dispersing aid.Preferred pulp component does not comprise asbestos.In other words, the pulp of making does not contain asbestos.
Water
It is 95~99wt% that the addition of water will reach its concentration in whole components, preferably accounts for 97~99wt% of whole components.In addition, water can add earlier.Disperse best when the adding speed of other component should remain on all component of hybrid combining simultaneously then.
Blend step
In blend step, all components are mixed into basic slurry uniformly.Its respective concentration in whole components is identical in the concentration expressed in percentage by weight that so-called " even substantially " is meant each starting ingredient in the chance sample of this slurry and the combination step, and error range is ± 10wt%, preferably ± and 5wt%, most preferably ± 2wt%.For example, if the concentration of solid is 50wt% cellulose fiber peacekeeping 50wt% para-aramid fiber in whole mixture, then basic mixture uniformly means in blend step, each chance sample of this slurry all contains the cellulose fibre concentration of (1) 50wt% ± 10wt%, preferably ± 5wt%, most preferably ± the aramid fibre concentration of 2wt% and (2) 50wt% ± 10wt%, preferably ± 5wt%, most preferably ± 2wt%.Mixing can be finished in any container that comprises revolving vane or certain other agitator.Mixing can be after all components add, and all components add or Assemble Duration carries out.
The correct grinding step
In the correct grinding step, it is as follows that all pulp components are carried out common correct grinding, conversion or modification simultaneously.Cellulose fiber peacekeeping para-aramid fiber by fibrillation, cut off with plasticating and become to have the erose fibre structure of stalk and fibril.If the para-aramid particle adds with other component, then less by plasticating into, as to justify, do not contain substantially fibril particle to small part para-aramid particle.All solids are all disperseed, and make the slurry of correct grinding even substantially." even substantially " is as preceding definition.This correct grinding step preferably comprises allows mixed slurry pass through one or more disk refiners, or makes slurry pass through single refiner circulation.Term " disk refiner " thereby be meant contains 1 pair or manyly finish grind the refiner of all components to rotating relative to one another by the shear action between the disk.In a kind of disk refiner of application type, the slurry pump that finish grind is advanced to each other apart between very little and counterrotating round rotor of energy and the stator disk.Each disk all has the surface that faces another disk, has the surface grooves of radially extending at least in part on it.Spendable preferred disk refiner is disclosed in United States Patent (USP) 4,472, in 241.If must reach even dispersion and enough correct grindings, then can allow the slurry that mixes pass through once above or the series of disk refiner by forming by at least 2 disk refiners.When mixed slurry was only finish grinded in 1 refiner, the slurry of making was tending towards finish grinding insufficiently and disperses inhomogeneously.Can form fully or basically by a kind of solid constituent, or another kind of, or 2 kinds simultaneously, or if any 3 kinds, one-tenth a small bundle of straw, etc. for silkworms to spin cocoons on of then whole 3 kinds of compositions or agglomerating aggregation, rather than be dispersed into basic dispersion uniformly.This kind becomes a small bundle of straw, etc. for silkworms to spin cocoons on or agglomerating aggregation, and be once above or during by the refiner more than 1 by refiner in mixed slurry, fragmentation takes place and the tendency that is dispersed in the slurry bigger.
In this step of this method, stand common correct grinding owing to contain the basic evenly slurry of various ingredients, so the non-pulp component of arbitrary class (for example, the para-aramid fiber) (for example be in the non-pulp component of all other classes, aromatic polyamides material fragment and para-aramid particle randomly) existence advanced pulp by correct grinding down, those other components are also finish grinded simultaneously.The made pulp of common correct grinding of planting non-pulp component thus is better than only 2 kinds of pulps being mixed the pulp blend that is produced.Add 2 kinds of pulps, only they are mixed then, can not make according to the present invention and finish grind even like that substantially, the close-connected fibre fractionation of pulp that into pulp produced altogether by non-pulp component.
Dehydration
Then, will finish grind slurry dewatering and be no more than 60wt% to total moisture content, preferred total moisture content is 4~60wt%, and most preferably total moisture content is 5~58wt%.Dehydration can be carried out as follows: pulp is collected in dewater unit such as the horizontal filter, if desired, also can further dewaters by pressurization or squeezing pulp filter cake.The dehydration pulp can randomly be dried to desired water capacity then, and/or can pack or coiling.
Fig. 1 and 2
Referring now to Fig. 1 and 2 the present invention is described.This detailed description from start to finish, the similar similar unit of letter representative in institute's drawings attached.
With reference to figure 1, this figure provides according to " wet " block diagram of wet method embodiment of pulp of manufacturing of the present invention.Pulp composition 1 is added container 2.Container 2 is equipped with internal mixer, is similar to the blender in the washing machine.This blender is distributed to all components in the water, forms basic slurry uniformly.The slurry that mixes is transferred in first refiner 3 of this slurry of correct grinding.Then, randomly, this correct grinding slurry can be transferred in second refiner 4, and randomly then in the 3rd refiner 5.Though what draw is 3 refiners, can use the refiner of arbitrary number, depends on desired uniformity and correct grinding degree.After last refiner of this refiner series, the correct grinding slurry randomly is transferred in filter or the sorting screen 6, dispersing solid less than selected mesh or mesh size is passed through, and the dispersing solid greater than selected mesh or mesh size is looped back in one or more refiners, for example, by pipeline 7, or, will finish grind slurry then thus and deliver in filter or the sorting screen 6 to the special refiner 8 that finish grindes this kind circulation slurry.Allow and lead to the horizontal vacuum water-strainer 9 from filter or sorting screen 6,, make water concentration contained in the pulp be no more than the 75wt% of whole components in this dehydration through the appropriate slurry that finish grindes.Slurry is available any conventional method and equipment from any to the transfer of another point, for example, by 1 or many pumps 10 implement.Then, pulp is transported to baking oven 11, to remove more moisture, is no more than the 60wt% of whole components until the moisture of pulp.Then, the correct grinding slurry is packed in baling press 12.
With reference to figure 2, this figure provides the block diagram of " doing " the dry method embodiment of pulp according to manufacturing of the present invention.This dry method is except the later part of horizontal vacuum Water Extraction Machinery 9, identical with wet method.After that filter 9, pulp is sloughed more water through squeezer 13, and the water concentration in pulp is no more than the 20wt% of whole components.Then, pulp makes fluffyization of pulp, then through rotor 15, to slough more juicy through loosening apparatus 14.Then, as wet method, allow pulp pass through baking oven 11 and packing in baling press 12.
II. second embodiment of the inventive method
In second embodiment, the method for making cellulose fiber peacekeeping para-aramid pulp is all identical except following difference with first embodiment of said method.
Before all components combination, no matter cellulose fibre or para-aramid fiber, or cellulose fiber peacekeeping para-aramid fiber the two, all may need to prescind.Its method can be as follows: combination water and cellulose fibre or para-aramid fiber.Then, water is become first suspended substance with mixed with fibers, process with first disk refiner then, fiber is shortened.Disk refiner prescinds average length to fiber and is no more than 10cm.This refiner is the partly fibrillation and the fiber of plasticating also.Another kind of fiber, the sort of fiber that does not add before this just, also mode is prescinded like this, makes the second processing suspended substance.Then, this another kind fiber (or second suspended substance, if process in water) that average length is no more than 10cm makes up with first suspended substance.
Before other component adds or later on or during, as needs, can add more water, water concentration is increased to 95~99wt% of whole components.All after the combination of components,, they can be mixed, to obtain basic slurry uniformly as needs.
Then, all components in the slurry together, promptly simultaneously, carry out common correct grinding.This correct grinding step solid in the slurry that comprises fibrillation, cuts off and plasticate makes all or basic all celluloses and para-aramid fiber are converted into erose fibrillating fibre structure.This correct grinding step also comprises disperses all solids, makes the correct grinding slurry even substantially.Then, as dewatering in this method first embodiment.These two kinds of methods all produce identical or essentially identical cellulose and para-aramid pulp.
Pulp of the present invention
