Definitions
- the present invention relates to the treatment of fibrous materials (particularly but not exclusively cellulosic fibres) which are used in the production of paper.
- paper as used herein is generic to paper, paperboard, and like fibrous sheet materials which are generally (but not necessarily) of a cellulosic nature.
- the process for manufacturing paper comprises preparing a suspension of fibres (usually cellulose fibres) from which the paper is to be produced and then passing this suspension along suitable conduit to a paper aking wire or former (hereinafter referred to generically as a wire) on which the suspension is deposited.
- a paper aking wire or former hereinafter referred to generically as a wire
- a vacuum is applied to that side of the wire opposite to the side on which the suspension is deposited so that water is drawn through the wire to leave a sheet of the fibres which may then be further dried and processed as required.
- paper sizing agents are frequently added to the suspension.
- paper sizing agents are rosin emulsions which are used in conjunction with alum (or other simple or polymeric aluminium salts).
- Further examples are cationic polymer and rosin emulsion mixtures, see for example GB-A-2,141,751. Other combinations of sizes and fixers are also used.
- the alum is effective under acid conditions to break down the emulsion and cause the rosin to be deposited on the particulate material which constitutes the furnish (i.e. fibres and any filler present).
- Conventional practice is for the rosin emulsion (pH ca 7) and alum solution (pH less than 3) to be added separately to the suspension of cellulose fibres from which the paper is to be prepared.
- the additions of rosin and alum solution are made at separate locations along a pipe through which the fibrous stock is flowing.
- the alum solution is normally added to the pipe considerably upstream of the rosin emulsion.
- the amount of alum solution added will generally be such as to provide a pH of 5 to 5.5 in the suspension prior to the addition of the rosin emulsion. This degree of acidity is required in the suspension so that the rosin is deposited and retained on the cellulose fibres.
- this acidic pH may cause problems if the fibrous stock has 'been produced at least partly from waste paper which incorporates calcium carbonate or when calcium carbonate is added as a filler.
- the calcium carbonate gives rise to deposits of calcium sulphate.
- Such deposits build up over a period of time cause blockage of the various lines in the plant and, more importantly, in the apertures of the foraminous wire on which the paper is formed. The process must therefore be periodically shut down so that the blockages may be cleared. Obviously this is a considerable disadvantage.
- the use of pH conditions close to neutrality is not possible because the rosin is not sufficiently deposited or retained on the fibres. This is a significant disadvantage of sizing with rosin emulsions.
- AKD alkyl ketene dimer
- rosin-alum sizing result from the way in which the rosin and alum and introduced into the fibre suspension in the prior processes, and that these limitations are overcome by using the procedures set out below which involve rapid mixing of rosin emulsion and alum solution streams and the incorporation of a localised zone (of relatively high concentration) in the fibre suspension.
- the rosin emulsion/alum solution system is an unstable system in that a mixture of these two components will normally flocculate, but using the rapid mixing procedures set out below a rosin emulsion/alum solution mixture may readily be incorporated in the suspension without problems resulting from flocculation.
- These procedures will therefore also be applicable to the incorporation into fibre suspensions (for use in preparing paper) of additive mixtures which give rise to an unstable system, e.g. a mixture of cationic polymer and anionic rosin emulsion.
- a method of providing a mixture of additives in an aqueous suspension of fibres to be used for the manufacture of paper comprising providing within the suspension a localised zone of a freshly prepared mixture of discrete liquid streams of the additives, and causing the freshly prepared mixture to be dispersed within the suspension.
- papermaking apparatus comprising suspension preparation means for preparing a suspension of fibres, a foraminous wire on which the suspension is deposited for preparing the paper, and conduit for conveying the suspension between the suspension preparation means and the wire wherein provided along the conduit is a mixing assembly having two inlets into which separate streams of additives to be mixed are supplied and having an outlet region in the conduit at .which the localised zone of a mixture of the additives is provided.
- the method of the first aspect of the invention is particularly applicable to the treatment of fibre suspensions with a mixture of additives which together give an unstable system, i.e. one which flocculates on admixture of the two additives.
- the two additives are rapidly mixed and introduced at relatively high concentrations into the fibre suspension before flocculation problems occur.
- a particular example of such an additive system is a mixture of a rosin emulsion and an aluminium salt solution, and a further example is a mixture of cationic pol mer (e.g. DADMAC) and anionic rosin emulsion.
- the method of sizing fibres using rosin emulsion/aluminium salt solution is an important aspect of the present invention in its own right and therefore according to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of sizing fibres in an aqueous suspension thereof, the method comprising providing within the suspension a zone of a freshly prepared mixture of discrete streams of a rosin emulsion and of an aluminium salt resulting in a mixture which is at an acidic pH (i.e. less than 7) less than that of the suspension, and causing the freshly prepared mixture to be dispersed within the suspension whereby the mixture undergoes a pH transitioa which is effective to cause rosin to be deposited on the fibres.
- an acidic pH i.e. less than 7
- the fibres to be treated will generally be cellulose fibres and the invention will be specifically described with reference to such fibres. It should however be understood that the invention is also applicable to the sizing of other types of fibres from which paper may be prepared.
- the fibre suspension will itself be a flowing stream and the localised zone of the freshly mixed solution of the aluminium salt and rosin emulsion is provided in the fibre suspension stream by the methods described in more detail below.
- the localised zone is distributed within such a fibre suspension stream by the flow thereof.
- the pH of the localised zone in the suspension may as a matter of practice be difficult to measure.
- the pH of the suspension itself prior to mixture with the rosin emulsion (aluminium salt solution) is easy to measure and it is simply necessary to ensure that a mixture of the rosin emulsion/aluminium salt solutions will be of an acidic pH less than that of the fibre suspension.
- the localised zone of the mixed rosin emulsion/aluminium salt solution will be at an acidic pH less than that of the fibre suspension.
- the pH of the fibre suspension.after the rosin emulsion aluminium salt has been dispersed therethrough is above 6.5, preferably above 6.7. This ensures that no substantial calcium sulphate deposits (for the case where the fibrous stock has been produced at least partly from calcium carbonate as a filler). Furthermore, operation at these pH values improves drainage through the wire of the paper making machine.
- rosin emulsions and solutions of aluminium salts to effect sizing of cellulose fibres which are in aqueous suspension provided that the rosin emulsion and aluminium salt solution are continuously provided in the suspension as a freshly mixed localised zone which is at a pH less than that of the suspension. As this zone is distributed throughout the suspension, the rosin emulsion/alum mixture undergoes a pH transition which is effective to cause the rosin to be deposited on the fibres.
- the method of the invention is most preferably carried out with cellulose fibre suspensions at a pH (before admixture with the rosin emulsion/aluminium salt) of greater than 6 particularly in the range 7 to 8.
- the invention is also operative at virtually any normal acid pH for rosin sizing and up to say 9.5. This should be contrasted with the prior art process where rosin emulsion and alum solution, added at separate locations in the paper making process, are not effective for sizing cellulose fibres which are in a suspension at a pH greater than 6.
- the invention thus provides the significant advantage that it may be used for the sizing, with rosin emulsion, of cellulose fibre suspensions which contain calcium carbonate and which are at a pH above 6. With such suspensions, the method of the invention does not give rise to unacceptable deposits of calcium sulphate, calcium* aluminium sulphate, and related compounds in the paper machine. Any deposits formed are likely to be of a very small crystal size and are probably included in the final paper.
- the method of the invention produces paper having an excellent finish on a MG (machine glaze) machine and also an increase in running speed as compared to that obtained with AKD sizes.
- the aluminium salt used in the method of the invention should preferably be an acidic salt and is most preferably alum. It is however possible to use other aluminium salts that will give rise to polyhydroxy aluminium ions and/or A1(0H) 3 , eg. polyhydroxy aluminium salts such as the compound known as polyaluminium chloride.
- the amount of the alum solution used will preferably be such as to provide 1- 4% by weight of alum (expressed as A1 2 (S0 4 ) 3 .18H 2 0) dry basis on the fibres.
- Other aluminium salts may be used in appropriate amounts. For example, we have found that the amount of polyaluminium chloride used in the process may be about V 5 th of the corresponding amount of alum required.
- the pH of a mixture of the alum solution stream and the rosin emulsion stream should for preferance be below 4, more preferably about 3.8.
- the method of the invention works effectively with a wide variety of rosins, eg. tall oil rosin and gum rosin.
- the rosin will usually have a melting point of 70-85° C.
- the rosin emulsion will generally comprise 20-50% solids and be used in an amount so as to provide 0.1-2% by weight (dry basis) on the fibres.
- the invention will be described further with specific reference to alum as the aluminium salt, although it will be appreciated that other aluminium salts may be substituted therefor.
- the cellulose fibre suspension flows through a conduit and the localised zone of the mixture of rosin emulsion and alum solution is provided in the conduit at a location past which the cellulose fibre suspension flows.
- the flow of the suspension is effective to cause the rosin emulsion/alum solution in the localised zone to be distributed within the suspension and thereby undergo the pH transition.
- the alum solution and rosin emulsion are intensively mixed together immediately prior to the injection of the mixture into the conduit along which the suspens___feon of cellulose fibres is flowing.
- the mixing is effected by passing the rosin emulsion and alum solution in opposite directions, and under turbulent flow conditions, along a tube which, has intermediate its ends an outlet communicating with the interior of the conduit.
- This mixing tube may, for example, comprise a T-piece with the rosin emulsion and alum solutions being directed (preferably under turbulent flow conditions) in opposite directions along the "bar" of the T and the resultant mixture being passed along the "stem" of the T into the conduit.
- the rosin emulsion and alum solution are introduced as separate streams into the cellulose fibre suspensions flowing along the conduit and mixed in situ within the suspension.
- the points at which the aluminium solution and rosin emulsion are discharged into the cellulose fibre suspension flowing along the conduit must be sufficiently close to each other to create a mixing zone before either the rosin emulsion or alum solution is diluted too much.
- the rosin emulsion/alum solution mixture is able to be incorporated in the fibre suspension without flocculation problems occurring.
- the localised zone of the mixture of rosin emulsion and alum solution is provided in a cellulose fibre suspension which is in the form of so-called thick stock, ie. a suspension which generally contains about 3% by weight of the cellulose fibres rather than the thin stock (which will generally comprise about 1% by weight of the fibres), although this does depend on the degree of dilution in going from thick to thin stock.
- the invention is however applicable to the treatment of fibre suspensions containing greater or lesser amounts of fibres. However, for preferance the suspension will comprise 0.1%-10% by weight of fibres, more preferably 0.2-5%.
- Fig. 1 is a diagram of aluminium hydroxide solubility as a function-of pH
- Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a papermaking process
- Figs. 3 to 15 diagrammatically illustrate various types of mixing apparatus which may be used in the method of the invention.
- Fig. 1 is a plot of total dissolved aluminium (A t ) ys_ pH and shows the stability region of freshly precipitated A1(0H) 3 based on the assumption that the only other species present are A1(0H) 4 ⁇ , Al(OH) 2+ , its dimer A1 2 (0H) 2 4+ , Al 13 (0H) 34 5+ , and A1 7 (0H) 17 4+ , as well as the uncomplexed ion Al 3+ .
- Fig. 1 is a thermodynamic diagram and may be thought of as corresponding to equilibration times longer than those normally encountered in the sizing process in a paper mill.
- the mixture of rosin emulsion and alum solution which forms the localised zone in the cellulose fibre suspension preferably has a pH less than 4.
- the aluminium concentration is normally greater than 10 ⁇ 4 mol dm -3 and thus greater than the minimum value of Al ⁇ at which A1(0H) 3 precipitate will form.
- the final position on the solubility diagram may be inside the region corresponding to A1(0H) 3 or in the A1(0H) 4 ⁇ region, where the concentration of polynuclear complexes will be vani ⁇ hingly small, and there would be no precipitated A1(0H) 3 .
- the point at which the localised zone of rosin emulsion/alum solution mixture is provided is moved near to where the sheet is formed, it is believed that there will not be time for the Al(0H) 3 to redissolve or for the polynuclear species to be converted to A ⁇ (0H) 4 " , so that satisfactory sizing performance can be achieved.
- Fig. 1 is a thermodynamic (and not a kinetic) diagram representing the position at equilibrium which may take some time to achieve.
- the Al(OH) 3 and polymeric aluminium hydroxy species (initially formed) persist long enough for sizing to take place.
- Fig. 2 is a very schematic illustration of • the basic steps involved in paper aking.
- a tank 100 there is prepared a suspension of cellulose fibres which are then passed along conduit 101 to a head box
- conduit 101 shown in Fig. 2 is intended very schematically to represent the connection between the tank 100 and the head box 102.
- the conduit arrangement is likely to be rather more complicated that that illustrated and may include a thick stock line and a thin stock line as well as pumps for moving the suspension.
- a mixing arrangement 105 at some point along the conduit for providing therein a localised zone of freshly mixed streams of rosin emulsion and alum solution.
- Various examples of such mixing arrangements axe illustrted in Figs. 3-15.
- Figs. 3-15 show various mixing arrangements for providing the localised zone of the mixture of rosin emulsion and alum solution in a conduit 1 along which an aqueous cellulose fibre suspension is flowing in the direction of arrow A.
- the conduit 1 will for preference be the thick stock pipe.
- the rosin emulsion is considered to be supplied in the direction of arrow B along a pipe, or pipe section, referenced as 2 and the alum solution is supplied*- in the direction of arrow C along a pipe, or pipe section, referenced as 3.
- the mixing device of Fig. 3 is the preferred device for use in the invention and is a T-piece arrangement in which the rosin emulsion and alum solution streams impinge upon each other so that the mixture exits in the direction of arrow D along the stem of the T which is provided in the centre of the conduit 1.
- the mixture enters conduit 1 as a localised zone at a pH of less than 4, which then becomes dispersed throughout the cellulose fibre suspension and thus undergoes the necessary pH transition.
- the pH of the fiber suspension up stream of the T-piece may be about 7-8 whereas down stream of the T-piece (and after distribution of the rosin emulsion/alum solution in the suspension (the pH may be about 6.7.
- the flow of rosin emulsion and alum solution along the respective pipe sections 2 and 3 will be turbulent flow as this will promote more intensive and rapid mixing of the two streams.
- the critical value of (Re) is usually taken as 2000, and this value may be used as a rough guide in calculating the diameters needed to produce the preferred turbulent flow conditions inside the mixer.
- Appendix a A more detailed consideration of the conditions governing turbulent flow is given in Appendix a, and the design of a T- piece for mixing rosin emulsion and alum solution is given in Appendix b.
- Fig. 4 shows a modification of Fig. 3 in which the stem of the T is omitted and the rosin emulsion/alum solution mixture simply issues through an orifice 4 into the conduit 1.
- the mixing devices shown in Figs. 3 and 4 may be manufactured from tubing which is of a diameter specifically selected (or produced) to give the required turbulent flow conditions.
- the T-piece can however also be made from standard size tubing and have its bore reduced by means of inserts 5 as shown in Figs. 5-7. These inserts 5 may be bored with either the right sized holes to form T-piece type configurations (Figs. 5 and 6) or bored to form a device similar to the Hartridge-Roughton mixer as shown in Fig. 7.
- the rosin emulsion/alum solution flows are injected using opposite pairs of semi-tangential jets (2'+ 2'' and 3' and 3' ' ) , the tube for the merging flow being at right angles to the plane of the paper.
- the inserts may be kept in place by using a push-fit or crimped, glued, screwed, pinned or welded (conventionally or electrically) in position or retained in place by means of flanges.
- Fig. 8 shows a further embodiment of T-piece type mixing device.
- a T-piece connector has internally threaded ends such that tubes 2 and 3 for supplying rosin emulsion and alum solution respectively may be mounted therein as shown.
- a tube may be mounted in the stem of the T through which the mixture of alum solution and rosin " emulsion exits into the suspension of cellulose fibres. The length of this latter tube may be selected having regard to the length of time for which it is desired to keep the alum solution and rosin emulsion in contact with each other before they enter the cellulose fibre suspension.
- inserts S may be provided in the T-piece connector as shown.
- the illustrated insert may be formed from a single piece of tubing (one end of which is closed) simply by boring a hole transversely through the tube adjacent its, closed end to obtain the configuration shown. This insert may then simply be inserted into the T-piece connector along the ste thereof.
- Figs. 9-13 show what may be considered as virtual T-pieces, where the mixing zone is created by the injections streams, and the pipe work is somewhat curtailed.
- Fig. 9 shows the two angled pipes 2 and 3 with their ends one behind the other so that the mixing zone occurs around the end of the downstream pipe. Straight pipe entry (see Fig. 10) into the cellulose fibre stream works just as well.
- Fig. 11 shows the two pipes 2 and 3 at right angles to the walls of the conduit 1 injecting into the middle of the cellulose fibre stream so that the injected flows impinge on each other.
- Fig. 12 shows a similar arrangement for producing impinging streams but in which the pipes 2 and 3 are angled relative to each other.
- the arrangements of Figs.11 and 12 are believed to be less efficient in mixing, as might be expected, and less effective from the point of view of sizing paper making performance than the T- piece of Figs. 3 and 4.
- Fig. 15 is a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 14 but in which a cross-piece is provided instead of a T-piece.
- rosin emulsion is supplied along pipe section 2 and alum solution along pipe section 3.
- Water is supplied along the additional pipe section referenced as 4.
- the advantage of this arrangement is that when the flow of alum and size stops, the water from pipe section 4 keeps the line clear. Additionally the necessary minimum (Re) for turbulent flow can be achieved by adjusting the water flow. Furthermore the concentration of the alum/size mixture passing to the stock line may be adjusted.
- the invention has been specifically described in relation to the sizing of fibres using a mixture of rosin emulsion and alum solution.
- other additives may be mixed using the procedure of the first aspect of the invention for the treatment of the fibre suspension.
- the additives may comprise a stream of a cationic polymer (e.g. DADMAC) and a anionic rosin emulsion.
- DADMAC cationic polymer
- anionic rosin emulsion e.g. DADMAC
- a mixture of these two components is known to "invert" in that it goes from an anionic sizing system to a cationic sizing system.
- Streams of these two components may be mixed in a T- piece (or other mixing device) in which the inversion takes place prior to introduction of the mixture into the fibre suspension.
