Bei der Herstellung von Papier werden dem Rohstoff, d. h. Zellstoff, Holz, Strohzellstoff oder Hardemhalbstoff auch Altpapierhalbstoff, Füllstoffe und Pigmente zugesetzt, mit denen eine geschlossene Oberfläche erzielt werden soll, um die Eigenschaften des Papiers, insbesondere den Weißgrad, die Opazität und die Bedruckbarkeit des Papiers zu verbessern.In the manufacture of paper, the raw material, i.e. H.

Fast alle Papiere werden mit Füllstoffen versetzt, die besonders Druck- und Schreibpapieren eine gleichmäßige Formation, bessere Weiche, Weiße und Griff geben. Diese meist "Asche" genannten Füllstoffe, da sie bei der Verbrennung- anaiyse als Asche zurückbleiben, werden entweder der Fasersuspension zugegeben oder beim Streichen aufgetragen.Almost all papers are filled with fillers, which give printing and writing papers in particular an even formation, better softness, whiteness and grip. These fillers, which are usually called "ashes", since they remain as ashes during combustion analysis, are either added to the fiber suspension or applied during brushing.
Naturdruckpapiere (ungestrichene Papiere) enthalten bis zu 35 Gew. -% Füllstoffe, gestrichene Papiere 25 Gew-% bis 50 Gew.-%. Die Füllstoffmenge hängt sehr vom Verwendungszweck des Papiers ab. Stark beschwerte Papiere besitzen geringere Festigkeiten und schlechteres Leimungsvermögen.Natural printing papers (uncoated papers) contain up to 35% by weight fillers, coated papers 25% to 50% by weight. The amount of filler depends very much on the intended use of the paper. Heavily weighted papers have lower strengths and poorer sizing properties.
Der Füllstoffanteil in der Papiermasse liegt üblicherweise zwischen 5 bis 35 Gew.-% und besteht aus Primärpigment oder aus rezirkulierten Streichpigmenten, die von Reststreichfarben oder gestrichenem Ausschuß stammen können. Neben der Weiße des Füllstoffs, der für weiß-getonte Papiere wichtig ist, spielt die Korngröße eine wesentliche Rolle, da sie die Fullstoffausbeute stark und die physikalischen Eigenschaften des Papiers, insbesondere die Porosität beiemflußt. Der im Papier verbleibende Füllstoffanteil betragt zwischen 20 und 80 % der der Fasersuspension zugesetzten Menge Die Ausbeute hangt sowohl von der Füllstoffart als auch von der Stoffzusammensetzung, dem Mahlgrad, der Fixierung der Füllstoffteilchen durch Harz und Aluminiumsulfat, dem Papiergewicht, der Papiermaschinengeschwindigkeit, der Art des Wasserentzuges und der Feinheit des Siebes ab.The proportion of filler in the paper pulp is usually between 5 and 35% by weight and consists of primary pigment or of recirculated coating pigments which are from Remaining coating colors or deleted scrap can come. In addition to the whiteness of the filler, which is important for white-toned papers, the grain size plays an important role, since it strongly influences the filler yield and influences the physical properties of the paper, especially the porosity. The amount of filler remaining in the paper is between 20 and 80% of the amount added to the fiber suspension.The yield depends on the type of filler as well as on the composition, the degree of grinding, the fixation of the filler particles by resin and aluminum sulfate, the paper weight, the paper machine speed, the type of Dehydration and the fineness of the sieve.

This waste product consists, for example, of 50% by weight of cellulose, 25% by weight of kaolin and 20% by weight of calcium carbonate, although other small proportions of calcium sulfate, titanium dioxide, talc or other solids may also be present, these mixtures more or less can contain large amounts of fibers.
In EP 0 492 121 B1 wird die bisherige Aufbereitung von Altpapier derart beschrieben, daß diese Abfallstoffe als ein Abwasser- Feststoffgemisch aus dem Prozeß ausgesondert werden, wobei ein reines Abfallprodukt entsteht, daß etwa 50 % Feststoffanteile enthalt und auf Deponien gelagert wird. Hier wird vorgeschlagen, das schlammartige Wasser-Feststoffgemisch intensiv zu mischen und dann anschließend dieses Gemisch aus Wasser und Feststoff grob, fein beziehungsweise feinst zu zerkleinern und erst dann die Weiterverwendung unter Zugabe entsprechender Zuschlage durchzufuhren. Es wird der Einsatz dieses Materials aus Ausgangsstoff für Farbstoffe, Kleber, Füllstoffe und hydraulische Bindemittel vorgeschlagen.EP 0 492 121 B1 describes the previous processing of waste paper in such a way that these waste materials are separated out of the process as a waste water / solid mixture, a pure waste product being produced which contains about 50% solids and is stored in landfills. It is proposed here to mix the sludge-like water-solid mixture intensively and then to comminute this mixture of water and solid roughly, finely or very finely and only then to carry out the further use with the addition of an appropriate additive. It will use this Materials from raw material for dyes, adhesives, fillers and hydraulic binders are proposed.
In DE 40 34 054 C1 wird ein Verfahren zur Rückgewinnung von Rohstoffen aus dem mechanischen Restabwasserschlamm der Papierindustrie vorgeschlagen. Bei diesem Verfahren wird der Restwasserschlamm nach Abscheidung des Grobschmutzes zunächst mittels Zentrifugieren vom Schwarzpartikelgehalt befreit und daran anschließend mittels fraktioniertem Sieben in Fasern, Füllstoffe, Pigmente und Agglomerate aufgeteilt. Die Agglomerate werden mittels Scherung behandelt und verworfen, während die Fasern, Füllstoffe und Pigmente gegebenenfalls nach weiterer Behandlung einem gezielten Wiedereinsatz zugeführt werden.DE 40 34 054 C1 proposes a process for the recovery of raw materials from the mechanical residual sewage sludge of the paper industry. In this process, after removing the coarse dirt, the residual water sludge is first freed of the black particle content by centrifugation and then divided into fibers, fillers, pigments and agglomerates by means of fractional sieving. The agglomerates are treated with shear and discarded, while the fibers, fillers and pigments are reused if necessary after further treatment.
Aus EP 0 576 177 A1 ist ein Verfahren zur Wiederverwertung und Wiederverwendung von Rohmaterialien aus den Restwasserschlämmen der Papierindustrie bekannt, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Schlammsuspension in einem ersten Verfahrensschritt einem ersten Sieb-/Reinigungsverfahren bei relativ niedriger Konsistenz unterworfen, anschließend eingedickt, erhitzt und durch einen Dispergierer gegeben wird, bevor dieser Schlamm in der Papierherstellung wieder eingesetzt wird.EP 0 576 177 A1 discloses a process for recycling and reusing raw materials from the residual water sludges of the paper industry, which is characterized in that the sludge suspension is subjected to a first sieving / cleaning process with a relatively low consistency in a first process step, then thickened and heated and passed through a disperser before reusing this slurry in papermaking.
In EP 0554285 B1 wird berichtet, daß alle Rückgewinnungsverfahren auf die Ent- stoffung an sich wenig verschmutzter Kreisläufe gerichtet sind, da der Wiedereinsatz des aus Faser- und Füllstoff bestehenden sogenannten Fang- oder Dickstoffes in den Papierherstellungsprozeß ein höherer Schmutzanteil verbietet. Demgemäß wird ein Verfahren beschrieben, die im Restabwasserschlamm der mechanischen Kläranlage enthaltenen brauchbaren Fasern und Füllstoffe zurückzugewinnen.In EP 0554285 B1 it is reported that all recovery processes are aimed at the removal of contaminated circuits, since the reuse of the so-called capture or thick matter consisting of fiber and filler in the paper manufacturing process prohibits a higher proportion of dirt. Accordingly, a method is described for recovering the useful fibers and fillers contained in the residual sewage sludge of the mechanical sewage treatment plant.
Das Verfahren ist gekennzeichnet durch die Einstellung eines definierten Feststoffgehalts, das Abscheiden der Grobschmutzanteile, das Abscheiden der Schwarzpartikelanteile, das fraktionierte Feinsieben des Gutanteils und die Rückführung des Faseranteils und des Füllstoff- und Pigmentanteils in die Rohstoffaufbereitung der Papierfabrik.The process is characterized by the setting of a defined solid content, the separation of the coarse dirt, the separation of the Black particle fractions, the fractionated fine sieving of the good fraction and the return of the fiber fraction and the filler and pigment fraction to the raw material processing of the paper mill.
In den Restwasserschlämmen der Streichereiabwässer, Deinkinganlagen, innerbetrieblichen Anlagen oder Abscheidevorrichtungen liegen die Füllstoffe und Streichpigmente häufig in agglomerierter Form und mit geringer Weiße vor, die eine direkte Wiederverwendung in der Rohstoffaufbereitung, insbesondere im Strich einschränkt.In the residual water sludge of the coating wastewater, deinking plants, in-house plants or separators, the fillers and coating pigments are often in agglomerated form and have a low whiteness, which limits direct reuse in raw material processing, especially in the coating.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht in der Bereitstellung eines Verfahrens zur Wiederverwertung von Papierrohstoffen, insbesondere der Füllstoffe und der Streichpigmente bei gleichzeitiger Einsparung von Energiekosten und Rohstoffkosten sowie Transportkosten.The object of the invention is to provide a method for recycling paper raw materials, in particular the fillers and the coating pigments, while saving energy costs and raw material costs as well as transportation costs.
Die vorstehend genannte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Verfahren zu Wiederverwertung von Füllstoffen und Streichpigmenten der Papier-, Pappe- und Kartonherstellung aus Restwasserschlämmen der Streichereiabwässer, Deinkinganlagen, innerbetrieblichen Kläranlagen oder Abscheidevorrichtungen, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß man die Füllstoff- und Streichpigment-haltigen Restwasserschlämme der Vermischung und anschließend der Vermahlung zu einer Pigment-Slurry mit Frischpigment oder Frischfüllstoff als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurry zuführt.The above-mentioned object is achieved according to the invention by a process for recycling fillers and coating pigments from paper, cardboard and cardboard production from residual water sludge from the coating waste water, deinking plants, internal sewage treatment plants or separating devices, which is characterized in that the filler and coating pigments are included Residual water sludge of the mixing and then the grinding to a pigment slurry with fresh pigment or fresh filler as a powder, fresh pigment-containing and / or fresh filler-containing slurry.
Mit Hilfe der vorliegenden Erfindung des oben beschriebenen Verfahrens wird eine definierte, konzentrierte Pigment-Slurry oder Füllstoffslurry erhalten, die in der Papier-, Pappe- und Kartonherstellung eingesetzt werden kann.With the help of the present invention of the method described above, a defined, concentrated pigment slurry or filler slurry is obtained which can be used in the manufacture of paper, cardboard and cardboard.
In der Papierherstellung ist es üblich, die Füllstoffe und Streichpigmente sowohl als Pulver oder in Form einer konzentrierten Slurry, die 50 bis 80 Gew.-% Feststoffanteile aufweist, einzusetzen. Diese Füllstoffe und Pigmente werden üblicherweise von den Herstellern mit der gewünschten Weiße und Korngrößenverteilung zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Kern der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nunmehr in der Anlieferung des Pigments in einer Art "Grundkörnung", vorzugsweise als Feststoff oder auch als hochkonzentrierte Slurry, beispielsweise mit einem Feststoffgehalt von 70 Gew.-% bis 85 Gew.-% oder mehr, beispielsweise mit einem mittleren Korndurchmesser von 50% <2μm bis 10μm, insbesondere 2 μm bis 5 μm und Vermahlung in wäßriger Phase vor Ort in einer Satellitenmahlanlage auf die gewünschte Weiße und Korngröße. Somit werden die obengenannten Restwasserschlämme nicht den fertig angelieferten oder fertig zubereiteten Rohstoffen beigemischt, sondern diese zunächst durch Vermischung und anschließend der Vermahlung von Frischpigment oder Frischfüllstoff als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurry auf die gewünschte Weiße und Feinheit vermählen und dann als Füllstoff oder Streichpigment eingesetzt. Die genannten mineralischen Füllstoffe und Pigmente werden üblicherweise in Naßoder Trockenverfahren auf die gewünschte Korngröße vermählen. Bei der Naßvermahlung ist naturgemäß ein großer Anteil Wasser erforderlich. Erfmdungsgemäß wurde nun festgestellt, daß ein Teil oder die gesamte Menge des notwendigen Wassers zur Vermischung und anschließend der Vermahlung der Frischpigmente oder Frischfüllstoffe als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurry durch die Restwasserschlämme ersetzt werden kann, die gegebenenfalls Fasern enthalten. Üblicherweise in den Restwasserschlämmen vorliegende Agglomerate der Füllstoffe oder Pigmente stören hierbei wenig, da diese im Verlauf des Naßmahlprozesses auf die gewünschten Korngrößen zerkleinert werden. Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung bestehen in der gegenüber dem Stand der Technik erhöhten Flexibilität der erhältlichen gewünschten Korngrößen vor Ort, den geringeren Frachtkosten durch Wegfall des Transports von Wasser in marktüblicher Slurry, sowie die verbesserte Stabilität der selbst hergestellten Pigment-Slurry.In papermaking, it is common for both the fillers and coating pigments as a powder or in the form of a concentrated slurry, which has 50 to 80 wt .-% solids. These fillers and pigments are usually provided by the manufacturers with the desired whiteness and grain size distribution. The essence of the present invention now consists in the delivery of the pigment in a type of "base grain", preferably as a solid or also as a highly concentrated slurry, for example with a solids content of 70% by weight to 85% by weight or more, for example with a average grain diameter of 50% <2 μm to 10 μm, in particular 2 μm to 5 μm and grinding in the aqueous phase on site in a satellite grinding system to the desired whiteness and grain size. Thus, the above-mentioned residual water sludges are not added to the raw materials that have been delivered or prepared, but are first milled to the desired whiteness and fineness by mixing and then grinding fresh pigment or fresh filler as a powder, fresh pigment-containing and / or fresh filler-containing slurry and then as a filler or coating pigment used. The mineral fillers and pigments mentioned are usually ground to the desired particle size in wet or dry processes. A large proportion of water is naturally required for wet grinding. According to the invention, it has now been found that part or all of the water required for mixing and then grinding the fresh pigments or fillers as a powder, slurry containing fresh pigment and / or filler can be replaced by the residual water sludge, which may contain fibers. Agglomerates of the fillers or pigments usually present in the residual water sludges do not cause much disruption here, since these are comminuted to the desired particle sizes in the course of the wet grinding process. Further advantages of the invention consist in the increased flexibility of the desired grain sizes available on site compared to the prior art, the lower freight costs by eliminating the transport of water in commercially available slurry, and the improved stability of the self-produced slurry Pigment slurry.
Bei der Aufbereitung von Restwasserschlämmen ist es naturgemäß erforderlich, den Grobschmutzanteil, der aus Splittern, Sandkörnern und sonstigen Unreinheiten besteht, abzutrennen und zu verwerfen. Der so erhaltene Siebdurchgang besteht aus Fasern, Füllstoffen, Pigmenten, Feinsand, Schwarzpartikeln und Agglomeraten aus Füllstoffen und Pigmenten oder Pigmenten, Fasern und Füllstoffen. Unter Füllstoff werden dabei üblicherweise die in der Papiermasse eingesetzten Feinteilchen verstanden; unter Pigment werden die in der Streichfarbe eingesetzten feinen Teilchen verstanden. Die normalerweise nicht brauchbaren Schwarzpartikel weisen eine große Korngrößenvariation auf. Sie bestehen in der Hauptsache aus grau- bis schwarz gefärbtem Sand, Bodenabrieb, Maschinenabrieb, verkokten Schmiermitteln, sauer attackierten organischen Teilchen, Rost und agglomeriertem Staub oder einer Mischung daraus. Üblicherweise ist eine Abscheidung dieser Schwarzpartikel mittels Zentrifugieren oder Flottieren erforderlich, wenn die Abwasserschlämme der Rohstoffaufbereitung zugeführt werden sollen. Erfindungsgemäß ist jedoch eine entsprechende Abtrennung der Schwarzpartikel nicht notwendigerweise erforderlich, da diese Partikel bei der Vermahlung der Frischfüllstoffe und Frischpigmente in der Regel derart zerkleinert werden, daß der Weißgrad durch die Schwarzpartikel weniger stark beeinflußt wird.When processing residual water sludge, it is naturally necessary to separate and discard the coarse dirt that consists of chips, grains of sand and other impurities. The sieve pass obtained in this way consists of fibers, fillers, pigments, fine sand, black particles and agglomerates of fillers and pigments or pigments, fibers and fillers. Filler is usually understood to mean the fine particles used in the pulp; pigment means the fine particles used in the coating color. The normally unusable black particles have a large grain size variation. They mainly consist of gray to black colored sand, soil abrasion, machine abrasion, coked lubricants, acid-attacked organic particles, rust and agglomerated dust or a mixture thereof. Separation of these black particles by means of centrifugation or floatation is usually necessary if the waste water sludge is to be fed to the raw material treatment. According to the invention, however, a corresponding separation of the black particles is not absolutely necessary, since these particles are generally comminuted in the grinding of the fresh fillers and fresh pigments in such a way that the degree of whiteness is less influenced by the black particles.
Dennoch ist selbstverständlich auch eine Abscheidung der Schwarzpartikel insbesondere mittels Zentrifugieren, wie beispielsweise in EP 0 554 285 B1 beschrieben, auch im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung möglich, um ganz besondere Qualitäten der Füllstoffe oder Pigmente im Sinne der Erfindung zu erhalten.Nevertheless, it is of course also possible to separate the black particles, in particular by means of centrifugation, as described, for example, in EP 0 554 285 B1, in the sense of the present invention, in order to obtain very special qualities of the fillers or pigments in the sense of the invention.
In gleicher Weise ist es gegebenenfalls sinnvoll, Faserabtrennungsverfahren insbesondere bei der Aufbereitung von Restwasserschlämmen aus Deinkinganlagen, Kläranlagen und Abscheidevorrichtungen durchzuführen. Als bekannte Verfahren bieten sich hier die Flockung und Sedimentation, die Filtrierung, Siebung, Zentrifugierung sowie sonstige chemische Behandlungsverfahren, wie beispielsweise die Oxidation an. In diesem Falle liegt dann üblicherweise ein Gemisch unterschiedlicher Pigmente vor, das häufig Kaolin, Calciumcarbonat und Talkum enthält. Durch Flockung und Umladung bilden sich bei den Abtrennungsverfahren häufig Agglomerate. Die Restwasserschlämme mit niedrigem Feststoffgehalt sind an sich dementsprechend kaum als Rohstoff einsetzbar.In the same way, it may make sense to use fiber separation processes, especially when processing residual water sludge from deinking plants, Sewage treatment plants and separation devices. Flocculation and sedimentation, filtration, sieving, centrifugation and other chemical treatment processes, such as oxidation, are available as known processes. In this case there is usually a mixture of different pigments, which often contains kaolin, calcium carbonate and talc. Flocculation and reloading often form agglomerates in the separation processes. The residual water sludge with a low solids content can therefore hardly be used as a raw material.
Zur Herstellung von Streichfarben ist daher eine Anhebung des Feststoffgehalts des Pigmentgemisches sowie in der Regel eine Anhebung der Weiße nach an sich bekannten Verfahren erforderlich. Die Zerstörung von Agglomeraten, die das Laufverhalten einer Streichfarbe am Blade durch Rakelstreifen stören und die Eigenschaften des Strichs negativ beeinflussen, ist besonders bevorzugt. Die Pigment- und Füllstoffteilchen des Restwasserschlamms, die zum Einsatz als Füllstoff oder Pigment vorgesehen sind, wirken hierbei als Mahlhilfsmittel und Dispergierhilfsmittel für die Zerstörung der Agglomerate bei dem Mahlprozeß. Gleichzeitig wirkt der Restwasserschlamm inklusive der beladenen Partikel als Dispergierhilfsmittel und Mahlhilfsmittel für die Füllstoffe und Pigmente bei dem Mahlprozeß, so daß die an sich üblichen Mengen an Dispergierhilfsmitteln und Mahlhilfsmitteln erfindungsgemäß verringert werden können.To produce coating colors, it is therefore necessary to increase the solids content of the pigment mixture and, as a rule, to increase the whiteness by methods known per se. It is particularly preferred to destroy agglomerates that interfere with the running behavior of a coating color on the blade due to squeegee strips and adversely affect the properties of the coating. The pigment and filler particles of the residual water sludge, which are intended for use as filler or pigment, act here as grinding aids and dispersing aids for the destruction of the agglomerates in the grinding process. At the same time, the residual water sludge, including the loaded particles, acts as a dispersing aid and grinding aid for the fillers and pigments in the grinding process, so that the conventional amounts of dispersing aids and grinding aids can be reduced according to the invention.
Dementsprechend ist es erfindungsgemäß besonders bevorzugt, den Restwasser- schlämm mit einer Feststoffkonzentration von 0,02 Gew.-% bis 50 Gew.-%, insbesondere 1 Gew.-% bis 30 Gew.-% zur Vermischung und anschließend der Vermahlung mit Frischpigment oder Frischfüllstoff als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurry einzustellen. Bei einer zu geringen Konzentration wird das Wiederverwertungsverfahreπ unwirtschaftlich. In den Restwasserschlämmen kann das Verhältnis von Füllstoffen und/oder Pigmenten zu Fasern in einer großen Bandbreite variieren. Besonders bevorzugt ist es im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung Restwasserschlämme mit einer gegebenenfalls angereicherten Konzentration an Füllstoffen und/oder Pigmenten einzusetzen, die im Bereich von 2 Gew.-% bis 80 Gew.-%, insbesondere 20 Gew.- % bis 60 Gew.-% bezogen auf den Feststoffgehalt liegt. So kann der Faseranteil einerseits oder der Füllstoff- und/oder Pigmentanteil andererseits beispielsweise von 2 bis 98 Gew.-% oder 98 bis 2 Gew.-% variieren. Auch sind selbstverständlich Faser-freie Restwasserschlämme erfindungsgemäß einsetzbar.Accordingly, it is particularly preferred according to the invention to mix the residual water sludge with a solids concentration of 0.02% by weight to 50% by weight, in particular 1% by weight to 30% by weight, and then to grind it with fresh pigment or Fresh filler as powder, fresh pigment-containing and / or fresh filler-containing slurry. If the concentration is too low, the recycling process becomes uneconomical. The ratio of fillers and / or pigments to fibers in the residual water sludges can vary within a wide range. For the purposes of the present invention, it is particularly preferred to use residual water sludges with an optionally enriched concentration of fillers and / or pigments which are in the range from 2% by weight to 80% by weight, in particular 20% by weight to 60% by weight. % is based on the solids content. The fiber content on the one hand or the filler and / or pigment content on the other hand can vary, for example, from 2 to 98% by weight or 98 to 2% by weight. Fiber-free residual water sludges can of course also be used according to the invention.
Beispielhaft seien hier die bevorzugten Zusammensetzungen verschiedener Abwasserschlämme erläutert. Vorzugsweise umfaßt das Abwasser aus der Produktion 0,5 bis 5 Gew.-%, insbesondere 2,5 Gew.-% Stoffveriust bei einem speziellen Frischwasserbedarf von 10 bis 100 l/kg, insbesondere 20 l/kg. Die Stoffdichte beträgt vorzugsweise 0,02 bis 0,5, insbesondere 0,125 Gew.-%. Besonders bevorzugt im Sinne der Erfindung ist hier ein Mengenverhältnis von Faseranteil zu Füllstoff und/oder Pigmentanteil von 20 zu 80 Gew.-% oder 80 zu 20 Gew.-%, insbesondere Fasern zu Pigment im Verhältnis 40 zu 60 Gew.-% eines Abwassers aus der Produktion.The preferred compositions of various sewage sludges are exemplified here. The waste water from production preferably comprises 0.5 to 5% by weight, in particular 2.5% by weight, of material loss with a special fresh water requirement of 10 to 100 l / kg, in particular 20 l / kg. The consistency is preferably 0.02 to 0.5, in particular 0.125% by weight. A ratio of fiber to filler and / or pigment to 20 to 80 wt .-% or 80 to 20 wt .-%, in particular fibers to pigment in a ratio of 40 to 60 wt .-% of a waste water is particularly preferred for the purposes of the invention from production.
Der pH-Wert der Restwasserschlämme, die als Abwasser aus der Produktion anfallen, kann in weiten Grenzen variieren. Besonders bevorzugt wird der pH-Wert im Bereich von 4,5 bis 8,5, insbesondere im neutralen Bereich um pH 7 eingestellt.The pH value of the residual water sludge, which accumulates as waste water from production, can vary within wide limits. The pH is particularly preferably set in the range from 4.5 to 8.5, in particular in the neutral range around pH 7.
Erfindungsgemäß einsetzbares Abwasser aus der Streicherei kann beispielsweise einen Feststoffgehalt von 0,1 bis 20 Gew.-%, insbesondere 1 Gew.-% vor der Fällung und nach der Fällung von 1 bis 30 Gew.-%, insbesondere bei 5 Gew.-% aufweisen. Der pH-Wert kann beispielsweise im Bereich von 6,5 bis 10, vorzugsweise 7,5 vor der Fällung und 6,0 bis 10,0, vorzugsweise 7,0, nach der Fällung betragen. Der Aschegehalt sollte insbesondere im Bereich von 60 bis 95 Gew.-%, insbesondere bei 90 Gew.-% liegen. Eine typische Zusammensetzung enthält 1 bis 90 Gew.-%, insbesondere 20 Gew.-% Kaolin, 1 bis 90 Gew.-%, insbesondere 60 Gew.-% Calciumcarbonat., 0,5 bis 50 Gew.-%, insbesondere 15 Gew.-% Talkum und 0,1 bis 40 Gew.-%, insbesondere 5 Gew.-% Sonstiges.Waste water from the coating plant which can be used according to the invention can, for example, have a solids content of 0.1 to 20% by weight, in particular 1% by weight before precipitation and 1 to 30% by weight, in particular 5% by weight after precipitation. exhibit. The pH can be, for example, in the range from 6.5 to 10, preferably 7.5 before the precipitation and 6.0 to 10.0, preferably 7.0, after the precipitation be. The ash content should in particular be in the range from 60 to 95% by weight, in particular 90% by weight. A typical composition contains 1 to 90% by weight, in particular 20% by weight of kaolin, 1 to 90% by weight, in particular 60% by weight of calcium carbonate, 0.5 to 50% by weight, in particular 15% by weight .-% talc and 0.1 to 40 wt .-%, in particular 5 wt .-% other.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung werden vorzugsweise als Frischpigment und/oder Frischfüllstoff Kaolin, natürliche oder gefällte Calciumcarbonate, künstliche oder natürliche Aluminiumsiiikate und -oxidhydrate, Titandioxid, Satin-Weiß, Dolomit, Glimmer, Metall-, insbesondere Aluminiumflakes, Bentonit, Rutil, Magnesiumhydroxid, Gips, Schichtsilikate, Talkum, Calciumsilikat sowie sonstige Steine und Erden einsetzt.In the context of the present invention, kaolin, natural or precipitated calcium carbonates, artificial or natural aluminum silicates and oxide hydrates, titanium dioxide, satin white, dolomite, mica, metal, in particular aluminum flakes, bentonite, rutile, magnesium hydroxide are preferably used as fresh pigment and / or filler. Plaster, layered silicate, talc, calcium silicate and other stones and earth are used.
Bevorzugterweise wird Frischpigment oder Frischfüllstoff als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurries in Anwesenheit der Restwasserschlämme und gegebenenfalls üblichen Mahlhilfsmitteln und/oder Dispergierhilfsmitteln zu einer Slurry mit einem Feststoffgehalt von 30 bis 85 Gew.- %, insbesondere 40 bis 75 Gew.-% vermischt und vermahlt.Fresh pigment or fresh filler is preferably mixed as a powder, slurries containing fresh pigment and / or fresh filler in the presence of the residual water sludge and optionally conventional grinding aids and / or dispersing aids to form a slurry with a solids content of 30 to 85% by weight, in particular 40 to 75% by weight and ground.
Die Frischpigmente oder Frischfüllstoffe als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurries werden vorzugsweise zu einer Korngrößenverteilung vonThe fresh pigments or fresh fillers as powder, fresh pigment-containing and / or fresh filler-containing slurries preferably have a particle size distribution of
10 bis 99 Gew.-% an Teilchen <1 μm, insbesondere10 to 99% by weight of particles <1 μm, in particular
10 bis 95 Gew.-% an Teilchen <1 μm jeweils bezogen auf den Äquivalentdurchmesser vermahlt.10 to 95 wt .-% of particles <1 μm each ground based on the equivalent diameter.
Aus EP 0 625 611 A1 sind Korngrößenverteilungen für Streichpigmente bekannt, die auch mit Hilfe der vorliegenden Erfindung vorzugsweise eingestellt werden. So ist es besonders bevorzugt im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung, daß die Pigmente folgende Korngrößenverteilung aufweisen: a) 95 bis 100 Gew.-% an Teilchen < 10 μm b) 50 bis 100 Gew.-% an Teilchen < 2 μm, insbesondere 50 bis 95 Gew.-% an Teilchen < 2 μm c) 27 bis 95 Gew.-% an Teilchen < 1 μm, insbesondere 27 bis 75 Gew.-% an Teilchen < 1 μm und d) 0,1 bis 55 Gew.-% an Teilchen < 0,2 μm, insbesondere 0,1 bis 35 Gew.-% an Teilchen < 0,2 μm, jeweils bezogen auf den Äquivalentdurchmesser der Teilchen.Grain size distributions for coating pigments are known from EP 0 625 611 A1, which are also preferably adjusted using the present invention. So it is particularly preferred in the sense of the present invention that the Pigments have the following particle size distribution: a) 95 to 100% by weight of particles <10 μm b) 50 to 100% by weight of particles <2 μm, in particular 50 to 95% by weight of particles <2 μm c) 27 up to 95% by weight of particles <1 μm, in particular 27 to 75% by weight of particles <1 μm and d) 0.1 to 55% by weight of particles <0.2 μm, in particular 0.1 to 35% by weight of particles <0.2 μm, in each case based on the equivalent diameter of the particles.
Erfindungsgemäß ist darüber hinaus eine große Variation der Weiße und Korngrößenverteilungen möglich, die insbesondere durch die Art und Dauer der Mahlung gesteuert werden kann. So ist es möglich, vor Ort relativ groben Frischfüllstoff mit einer großen Menge an Restwasserschlamm zu vermischen, um diese Slurry nach der Vermahlung in die Papiermasse einzubringen. In gleicher Weise ist es möglich, vor Ort durch Einsatz einer geringeren Menge an Restwasserschlamm diese zur feineren Vermahlung mit Frischpigment einzusetzen, was dann als Streichpigment und/oder Füllstoff dient. Der Papierhersteller ist somit nicht mehr an vorgegebene Teilchengrößen der Frischpigmente und/oder Frischfüllstoffe sowie Pigment-Slurries von Anbietern der Rohstoffe gebunden. DieAccording to the invention, a large variation in the whiteness and grain size distributions is also possible, which can be controlled in particular by the type and duration of the grinding. It is thus possible to mix relatively coarse fresh filler with a large amount of residual water sludge on site in order to introduce this slurry into the paper pulp after grinding. In the same way, it is possible to use a smaller amount of residual water sludge on site for finer grinding with fresh pigment, which then serves as a coating pigment and / or filler. The paper manufacturer is therefore no longer tied to predetermined particle sizes of the fresh pigments and / or fresh fillers and pigment slurries from suppliers of the raw materials. The
Pigment-Slurries der Rohstoffanbieter werden üblicherweise mit der Zahl der Gewichtsprozente an Teilchen kleiner als 2 μm charakterisiert, beispielsweise als Typ: 95, 90, 75, 60, 50 etc. . Der Papierhersteller ist somit in der Lage, Pigmente als Slurry den jeweiligen Bedürfnissen entsprechend selbst vor Ort in einer Satellitenanlage herzustellen. Dies erlaubt eine flexible und schnelle Reaktion auf Qualitäts- und Produktionsanforderungen, beispielsweise der verschiedenen Papierrohstoffe für die Papiermasse, die Pigmente oder Slurries für den Vorstrich, Deckstrich und Einfachstrich oder die Pigmentierung allein, sowie die Vermischung mit anderen Pigmenten. Vor allem aber ist hierdurch eine beträchtliche Reduzierung der Transportkosten ersichtlich, da nicht notwendigerweise Fertigslurries mit hohem Wassergehalt über große Entfernungen transportiert werden müssen.Pigment slurries from raw material suppliers are usually characterized by the number of percentages by weight of particles smaller than 2 μm, for example as types: 95, 90, 75, 60, 50 etc. The paper manufacturer is therefore able to produce pigments as slurry itself on site in a satellite system according to the respective needs. This allows a flexible and quick reaction to quality and production requirements, for example the different paper raw materials for the paper pulp, the pigments or slurries for the primer, top coat and single coat or the pigmentation alone, as well as the mixing with other pigments. Above all, however, this is a considerable one Reduction in transport costs evident, since ready-made slurries with a high water content do not necessarily have to be transported over long distances.
Auch wenn im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung an sich bekannte Netzmittel, Stabilisierungsmittel, Mahlhilfsmittel und Dispergierhilfsmittel während der Vermischung und der Vermahlung der Frischpigmente oder Frischfüllstoffe als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurry mit Restwasserschlämmen eingesetzt werden können, wie sie beispielsweise aus EP 0 625 611 A1 bekannt sind, so ist doch erfindungsgemäß die erforderliche Menge gegenüber dem Stand der Technik deutlich verringert. Zum einen enthalten die Restabwasserschlämme bereits eine gewisse Menge der genannten Mittel. Zum anderen ist es aufgrund der Möglichkeit der direkten Vermahlung vor Ort nicht notwendig, die Netz-, Stabilisierungs-, Mahl- und Dispergierhilfsmittel in üblichen Größenordnungen einzusetzen, da die Zeitspanne zwischen Herstellung der Slurry und der Verwendung stark verkürzt werden kann. Ein weiterer Vorteil der geringeren Einsatzmengen an Hilfsmitteln ist die verbesserte Retention der Pigmente bei der Papierherstellung, da größere Mengen einen negativen Einfluß auf die Retention haben.Even if, for the purposes of the present invention, known wetting agents, stabilizers, grinding aids and dispersing aids can be used as powder, fresh pigment-containing and / or fresh-filler-containing slurry with residual water slurries during the mixing and grinding of the fresh pigments or fresh fillers, as described, for example, in EP 0 625 611 A1 are known, the amount required according to the invention is significantly reduced compared to the prior art. On the one hand, the residual sewage sludge already contains a certain amount of the agents mentioned. On the other hand, because of the possibility of direct grinding on site, it is not necessary to use the wetting, stabilizing, grinding and dispersing aids in the usual order of magnitude, since the time period between production of the slurry and use can be greatly shortened. Another advantage of the lower amounts of auxiliaries used is the improved retention of the pigments in paper production, since larger amounts have a negative influence on the retention.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eignet sich besonders für die Aufarbeitung aus Füll- und Faserstoff bestehenden Abwasserschlämmen oder Faserstoffsuspensions-Teilströmen der Altpapier-verarbeitenden Papierindustrie und der Wiederverwertung von Papierausschuß, insbesondere bei der Aufbereitung von Altpapier aus der Stufe der Entaschung, wo besonders großen Wert auf eine sortenreine und korngrößenspez'rfische Auftrennung der Füllstoffe und Pigmente gelegt wird, um diese hier durch Wiedereinsatz zu verwerten, und dadurch eingebrachte Energie und Wertigkeit zu nutzen. Die mit Hilfe der vorliegenden Erfindung erhältlichen Streichpigment-Slurries können besonders vorteilhaft in der Papierindustrie, insbesondere zur Herstellung einer Streichfarbe für den Papierstrich oder in der Papiermasse eingesetzt werden. Besonders bevorzugt ist die Verwendung zur Herstellung einer Streichpigment- Slurry für Offsetpapier. Darüber hinaus eignen sich die erfindungsgemäßen Slurries auch zur Herstellung einer Streichmasse für leichtgewichtige, gestrichene Papiere, insbesondere auch bei hoher Auftragsgeschwindigkeit, sowie zur Herstellung von Rollen-Offsetpapieren, insbesondere zur Herstellung von leichtgewichtigen, gestrichenen Rollen-Offsetpapieren, das Streichen von Karton und Spezialpapier, wie Etiketten, Tapeten, Silikoπrohpapier, selbstdurchschreibend, sowie der Beimischung bei Tiefdruckpapieren.

Die erfindungsgemäße Prozeßdurchführung in einer üblichen Papierfabrik kann wie folgt beschrieben werden:The process implementation according to the invention in a conventional paper mill can be described as follows:
Silos in einer beliebigen Größe, beispielsweise von 50 bis 1000 m3 dienen zur Aufnahme und Lagerung von trockenen Füllstoffen und Pigmenten einer einheitlichen oder gegebenenfalls unterschiedlichen Grundkörnung, beispielsweise Calciumcarbonat. Durch Dosiervorrichtungen wird ein Austrag des Füllstoff- und/oder Pigmentpulvers mit anschließendem Transport gewährleistet, gegebenenfalls zu Tagessilobehälter(n), gegebenenfalls mit Reinigungsvorrichtungen. Dosierungsvorrichtungen für das/die Pulver, gegebenenfalls gesteuert durch speicherprogrammierbare Steuerungen (SPS) mit den elektronisch integrierten Rezepten bestimmen gravimetrisch und/oder volumetrisch die zur Vermischung mit Wasser, Frischwasser oder Kreislaufwasser der Papierfabrik erforderlichen Mengen der zu mischenden Bestandteile. Erfindungsgemäß wird anstelle des Frischwassers oder des Kreislaufwassers teilweise oder vollständig ein Restwasserschlamm mit einem Feststoffgehalt von insbesondere 0,02 bis 50 Gew.- %, gegebenenfalls unter Zugabe von Wasser bei höherer Konzentration desSilos of any size, for example from 50 to 1000 m 3, are used to hold and store dry fillers and pigments with a uniform or possibly different basic grain size, for example calcium carbonate. Dosing devices discharge the filler and / or pigment powder with subsequent transport, if necessary to day silo container (s), if necessary with cleaning devices. Dosing devices for the powder (s), possibly controlled by programmable logic controllers (PLC) with the electronically integrated recipes, determine gravimetrically and / or volumetrically the quantities of the components to be mixed, which are required for mixing with water, fresh water or circulating water from the paper mill. According to the invention, instead of the fresh water or the circulating water, a residual water sludge with a solids content of in particular 0.02 to 50% by weight is partially or completely, optionally with the addition of water at a higher concentration of
Restwasserschlamms eingesetzt. Dementsprechend sind weiterhin erforderlich, Behälter zur Lagerung des Restwasserrschlamms, Dosiervorrichtungen für den Restwasserschlamm, die die einzusetzende Menge gravimetrisch oder volumetrisch bestimmen. Daneben sind erforderlich Behälter zur Aufnahme des Gemisches aus Frischpigment oder Frischfüllstoff als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurry und Restwasserschlamm/Wasser, gegebenenfalls Mahlhilfsmittel und Dispergierhilfsmittel oder sonstige Hilfsmittel. Zur Dispergierung und Stabilitätseinstellung sind Dispergiereinrichtungen (Dissolver) oder sonstige Rührwerke erforderlich.Residual water sludge used. Accordingly, containers for storing the residual water sludge, dosing devices for the residual water sludge, which determine the amount to be used gravimetrically or volumetrically, are also required. In addition, containers are required to hold the mixture of fresh pigment or filler as a powder, slurry containing fresh pigment and / or filler and residual water sludge / water, optionally grinding aids and dispersing aids or other aids. Dispersing devices (dissolvers) or other agitators are required for dispersion and stability adjustment.
Das Vermählen der Frischpigmente und/oder Frischfüllstoffe als Pulver, frischpigmenthaltige und/oder frischfüllstoffhaltige Slurry mit den Restwasserschlämmen, kann erfindungsgemäß kontinuierlich in üblichen Rührwerkskugelmühlen, beispielsweise mit einem Inhalt von 700 bis 5000 I oder größer durchgeführt werden. Zum Einsatz kommen Mahlmedien, vorzugsweise Mahlkugeln, insbesondere mit einem Durchmesser von 1 bis 4 mm.The grinding of the fresh pigments and / or fresh fillers as powder, fresh-pigment-containing and / or fresh-filler-containing slurry with the residual water slurries can be carried out continuously according to the invention in conventional stirred ball mills, for example with a content of 700 to 5000 l or greater. Grinding media, preferably grinding balls, in particular with a diameter of 1 to 4 mm, are used.
Zur Aufbereitung der Restwasserschlämme werden üblicherweise Siebe, vorzugsweise Bogensiebe zum Abscheiden von Verunreinigungen (Kugelbruch, Trenn- Stoffe, Rost etc.) eingesetzt. Lasermeßinstrumente dienen der Bestimmung und Steuerung der Mahlfeinheit während des Mahlvorgangs und der Rechner-gestütz- ten Steuerung der Rührwerkskugelmühlenanlage. Gegebenenfalls sind weitere Dosierinjektionseinrichtungen zum Nachdosieren von Dispergier- und Mahlhilfs- mittein an der Rührwerkskugelmühle erforderlich. Nach dem Austrag der Pigment- Slurry sind gegebenenfalls Siebe zur nochmaligen Trennung von Schadstoffen mit einer Größe von mehr als 20 μm erforderlich. Typischerweise weist das eingesetzte Frischpigment- und/oder Füllstoffmaterial, insbesondere eingesetzes Calciumcarbonatpulver in trockener Form einen Weißgrad nach DIN 53163 von mehr als 90 %, insbesondere einen Weißgrad von mehr als 95 % in einer Feinheit von d97 < 25 μm, eine Feinheit nicht größer d97 100 μm, eine Reinheit des Carbonats ≥ 98 %, einen Anteil SiO2 < 1 ,0, insbesondere < 0,2% auf.To process the residual water sludge, sieves are usually used, preferably curved sieves for separating contaminants (broken balls, separating Fabrics, rust, etc.). Laser measuring instruments are used to determine and control the fineness of grinding during the grinding process and the computer-aided control of the agitator ball mill system. If necessary, further dosing injection devices are required for the subsequent dosing of dispersing and grinding aids on the agitator ball mill. After the pigment slurry has been discharged, sieves may be required for the further separation of pollutants with a size of more than 20 μm. Typically, the fresh pigment and / or filler material used, in particular calcium carbonate powder used in dry form, has a whiteness according to DIN 53163 of more than 90%, in particular a whiteness of more than 95% in a fineness of d 97 <25 μm, a fineness not greater d 97 100 μm, a purity of the carbonate ≥ 98%, a proportion of SiO 2 <1.0, in particular <0.2%.
Wechselnde Anteile von beispielsweise Carbonat, vermischt mit Restwasser- schlämm werden zu einer Slurry vermählen, die einen Feststoffgehalt aufweist, der beispielsweise auf eine gebrauchsfähige Streichfarbe eingestellt werden kann. Gegebenenfalls ist der Feststoffgehalt auch höher einstellbar, wenn die Pigment- Slurry länger zwischengelagert werden soll. Die Feinheit der Slurry wird insbesondere durch die Verweiizeit und/oder die Energieaufnahme während der Produktion in der Rührwerkskugelmühle bestimmt.Varying proportions of carbonate, for example, mixed with residual water slurry are ground to a slurry which has a solids content which can be adjusted, for example, to a usable coating color. If necessary, the solids content can also be set higher if the pigment slurry is to be stored for a longer period. The fineness of the slurry is determined in particular by the dwell time and / or the energy consumption during production in the agitator ball mill.
Der Weißgrad der Pigment-Slurry ergibt sich unter anderem aus dem Mischungsverhältnis Frischpigment zu Restwasserschlamm und insbesondere dem eingesetzten Frischpigmenttyp.The whiteness of the pigment slurry results, among other things, from the mixing ratio of fresh pigment to residual water sludge and, in particular, the type of fresh pigment used.
Eine Ausführungsform der Zusammensetzung der Restwasserschlämme, wie sie erfindungsgemäß eingesetzt werden können, ist nachfolgend in der Tabelle 1 wiedergegeben: Tabelle 1An embodiment of the composition of the residual water sludge, as can be used according to the invention, is shown in Table 1 below: Table 1
