Definitions

  • the present invention relates to aqueous dispersions of a hydrophobic sizing agent and more specifically to dispersions having a dispersant system containing two oppositely charged compounds, their preparation and use.
  • Aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic material are well-known and used in numerous applications. For instance, in papermaking, aqueous dispersions of hydrophobic material are used as sizing agents in order to give paper and paper board some degree of resistance to wetting and penetration by aqueous liquids.
  • hydrophobic materials widely used for sizing include cellulose-reactive sizing agents, e.g. alkyl ketene dimers and substituted succinic anhydrides, and non-cellulose-reactive sizing agents, e.g. rosin-based and resin-based sizing agents.
  • Dispersions of hydrophobic material generally contain an aqueous phase and finely divided particles or droplets of the hydrophobic material dispersed therein.
  • the dispersions are usually prepared by homogenizing the hydrophobic, water insoluble material in an aqueous phase in the presence of a dispersant using high shear forces and fairly high temperatures.
  • Dispersants conventionally used include anionic, amphoteric and cationic high molecular weight polymers, e.g. lignosulfonates, starches, polyamines, polyamideamines, and vinyl addition polymers. The polymers can be used singly, together or in combination with other compounds to form a dispersant system. Depending on the overall charge of the components of the dispersant system, the size dispersions will be anionic or cationic in nature.
  • Dispersions of hydrophobic material usually exhibit rather poor stability and high viscosity, even at relatively low solids contents, which evidently lead to difficulties in handling the dispersions, for example on storage and in use.
  • a further drawback is that the products have to be supplied as low concentration dispersions which further increases the costs of transportation of the active hydrophobic material.
  • EP-A-275851 relates to an aquenous sizing dispersion containing a disperse phase in the form of a sizing agent mixture consisting of a rosin material and a synthetic sizing agent, and a polyaluminium compound.
  • EP-A-208667 refers to an aqueous sizing dispersion containing a disperse phases in the form of a sizing agent mixture consisting of rosin material and a synthetic sizing agent
  • WO 96/17127 relates to an anionic sizing dispersion containing a cellulose-reactive sizing agent.
  • EP 220941 discloses a dry composition
  • a dry composition comprising a ketene dimer and an encapsulating agent which can be selected from gelatin, tristearin, gum arabicum, sugar ethyl cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylamides, silicates, polyethers, polyesters, polyamides, starches and polyvinyl alcohol.
  • GB 2268941 relates to aqueous emulsions of rosin size where the rosin is blended with at least one other component such as lignin sulphonate, cationic starch and starch derivatives to the extent that the melting point of the mixture is below the melting point of the rosin.
  • the invention relates to an aqueous dispersion containing a disperse phase comprising a hydrophobic material and a dispersant comprising an anionic compound having a molecular weight less than 50,000 and being selected from carbon containing compounds and silicon-containing compounds, and a cationic organic compound having a molecular weight less than 50,000 wherein at least one of the anionic and cationic compounds is a polyelectrolyte.
  • the invention thus relates to an aqueous dispersion, its preparation and use, as further defined in claims 1 to 16.
  • the present invention makes it possible to provide dispersions of hydrophobic material with improved storage stability, higher solids content and/or lower viscosity.
  • dispersions of hydrophobic material with improved storage stability, higher solids content and/or lower viscosity.
  • the disperse phase is more stable, i.e. the dispersions exhibit improved dilute stability.
  • applications with extremely high dilution include papermaking wet-end conditions and stock or internal sizing which involves addition of a dispersion of hydrophobic material to an aqueous suspension containing cellulosic fibres and optional filler.
  • improved dilute stability means less aggregation of the particles or droplets of hydrophobic sizing agent, thereby forming lower levels of bigger aggregates with lower sizing efficiency, as well as less deposition of the hydrophobic sizing agent on the paper machine and less wire contamination, thereby reducing the need for maintenance of the paper machine.
  • Further benefits observed with the present dispersions include improved stability in the presence of disturbing substances, e.g. anionic trash derived from impure pulps and/or recycled fibres, and less accumulation of the hydrophobic material in white water recirculating in the papermaking process. Accordingly, dispersions of this invention are particularly useful in processes where white water is extensively recirculated and where the cellulosic suspension contains a substantial amount of trash.
  • the dispersions of this invention also makes it possible to obtain improved sizing over conventional size dispersions at a corresponding dosage of sizing agent and to use a lower dosage of sizing agent to attain a corresponding level of sizing.
  • the possibility of using lower amounts of sizing agent to attain in-specification sizing further reduces the risk of accumulation of non-adsorbed hydrophobic sizing agents in the white water recirculating in the process, thereby further reducing the risk of aggregation and deposition of the hydrophobic material on the paper machine.
  • the present invention thus offers substantial economic and technical benefits.
  • the hydrophobic material present in the dispersion preferably is substantially insoluble in water.
  • suitable hydrophobic materials include compounds useful as sizing agents in papermaking which can be derived from both natural and synthetic sources, e.g. cellulose-reactive hydrophobes and non-cellulose-reactive hydrophobes.

  • the amount of hydrophobic sizing agent added to the stock can be from 0.01 to 5% by weight suitably from 0.05 to 1.0% by weight, based on the dry weight of cellulosic fibres and optional fillers, where the dosage is mainly dependent on the quality of the pulp or paper to be sized, the sizing agent used and the level of sizing desired.
  • the dispersions are used in stock sizing of cellulosic pulp where the stock has a high cationic demand and/or contains substantial amounts of lipophilic substances, e.g. stocks prepared from certain grades of wood-containing and recycled pulps, for example where recirculation of white water is extensive.
  • Particularly preferred dispersions in such uses include dispersions of cellulose-reactive sizing agent and dispersions having a dispersant with an overall anionic charge.
  • the cationic demand is at least 50, suitably at least 100 and preferably at least 150 ⁇ eq/litre stock filtrate.
  • the cationic demand can be measured in conventional manner, for example by means of a Mütek Particle Charge Detector using a stock filtrate obtained from a raw stock filtered through a 1.6 ⁇ m filter and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) as a titrant.
  • the amount of lipophilic extractives may be at least 10 ppm, usually at least 20 ppm, suitably at least 30 ppm and preferably at least 50 ppm, measured as ppm DCM by means of extraction using DCM (dichloromethane) in known manner.
  • the present dispersions are preferably used in papermaking processes where white water is extensively recirculated, i.e.
  • Recirculation of white water in the process preferably takes place by mixing the white water with cellulosic fibres, preferably in the form of a stock or suspension, before or after the addition of the sizing dispersion, e.g. to form the stock to be dewatered.
  • Fresh water can be introduced in the process at any stage; for example, it can be mixed with cellulosic fibres in order to form the stock, and it can be mixed with a stock containing cellulosic fibres to dilute it so as to form the stock to be dewatered, before or after mixing the stock with white water and before or after the addition of the sizing dispersion.
  • Non-cellulose-reactive sizing agents are usually used with an aluminium compound for fixing the sizing agent to the cellulosic fibre.
  • aluminium compounds include alum, aluminates and polyaluminium compounds, e.g. polyaluminium chlorides and sulphates.
  • suitable retention aids include cationic polymers, anionic inorganic materials in combination with organic polymers, e.g.
  • Suitable cationic polymers include cationic starch, guar gum, acrylate and acrylamide-based polymers, polyethyleneimine, dicyandiamide-formaldehyde, polyamines, polyamidoamines and poly(diallyldimethyl ammoniumchloride) and combinations thereof.
  • Cationic starch and cationic acrylamide-based polymers are preferably used, either alone or in combination with each other or with other materials.
  • the dispersions are used in combination with a retention system comprising at least one cationic polymer and anionic silica-based particles.
  • the present dispersions can be added before, between, after or simultaneously with the addition of the cationic polymer or polymers. It is also possible to premix the size dispersion with a retention aid, e.g. a cationic polymer like cationic starch or a cationic acrylamide-based polymer, or an anionic silica-based material, prior to introducing the mixture thus obtained into the stock.
  • the dispersion can be prepared just prior to introducing it into the stock by bringing into contact a size dispersion containing the cationic compound, preferably a cationic surfactant, with an anionic silica-based material, for example as defined above.
  • the cationic compound preferably a cationic surfactant
  • an anionic silica-based material for example as defined above.
  • a dispersion of hydrophobic alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) according to the invention was prepared by mixing di(hydrogenated tallow)dimethylammonium chloride, which is a cationic surfactant with an MW of 340, commercially available under the trade name Querton 442, Akzo Nobel, with molten AKD at 70°C, passing the mixture through a homogenizer in the presence of an aqueous solution of a condensated sodium naphthalenesulphonate with an estimated MW of about 6,000, commercially availably under the trade name OrotanTM SN, Rohm & Haas Company, and then cooling the dispersion so obtained.
  • the pH of the dispersion was adjusted to about 5 by addition of acid.
  • the dispersion denoted Dispersion No. 1, had an AKD content of 30% and contained 6% of the anionic compound and 4% of the cationic compound, both based on the weight of AKD.
  • the dispersions contained particles of the cellulose-reactive hydrophobe with an average particle size of about 1 ⁇ m which were anionically charged, as shown by a negative zeta potential determined by means of a ZetaMaster S Version PCS.
  • Example 1 Stability of the dispersion of Example 1 was tested as follows: The dispersion was diluted with water to give a dispersion containing 40 ppm of AKD. In some of the tests 10 ppm of stearic acid was added in order to evaluate the stability in the presence of a liphophilic, anionic trash substance.
  • the dilute dispersion was placed in a jar equipped with a device for turbidity measurements, a loop, circulation means and heating and cooling means. A set volume of the dilute dispersion was circulated in the loop while automatically recording the turbidity and subjecting the dispersion to a heating and cooling cycle for a set time period of 45 minutes.
  • the temperature of the dispersion was raised from 20°C to 62°C and then lowered again to 20°C.
  • Turbidity is affected by particle size and the difference in turbidity of the dispersion before and after a temperature cycle is a measure of the ability of the dispersed particles to withstand growth by agglomeration and thus a measure of the stability of the dispersion.
  • Ref. 1 is an anionic AKD dispersion containing a dispersant system consisting of sodium lignosulphonate and a high molecular weight (HMW) cationic starch where the anionic lignosulphonate is present in ionic excess
  • Ref. 2 is a cationic AKD dispersion also containing sodium lignosulphonate and HMW cationic starch but where the cationic starch is present in ionic excess.
  • Table 1 gives the results obtained.
  • a water-free concentrate composition according to the invention was prepared by dry mixing 93 parts of AKD pellets with 3 parts of the cationic surfactant and 4 parts of the anionic compound used in Example 1. This dry mixture was later added to hot water and the aqueous mixture so obtained was heated to 80°C, pumped through a high shear pump and then cooled to room temperature.
  • the resulting anionic dispersion, Dispersion No. 2 had an AKD content of 20% and an average particle size of about 1 ⁇ m.
  • Sizing efficiency was evaluated by preparing paper sheets according to the standard method SCAN-C23X for laboratory scale, and using a papermaking stock containing 80% of 60:40 bleached birch/pine sulphate and 20% of chalk to which 0.3 g/l of Na 2 SO 4 ⁇ 10H 2 O had been added. Stock consistency was 0.5% and pH 8.0.
  • the dispersions were used in conjunction with a commercial retention and dewatering system, CompozilTM, comprising cationic starch and an anionic aluminium-modified silica sol which were added to the stock separately; the cationic starch was added in an amount of 12 kg/ton, based on dry stock, and the silica sol was added in an amount of 0.8 kg/ton, calculated as SiO 2 and based on dry stock
  • CompozilTM comprising cationic starch and an anionic aluminium-modified silica sol which were added to the stock separately
  • the cationic starch was added in an amount of 12 kg/ton, based on dry stock
  • the silica sol was added in an amount of 0.8 kg/ton, calculated as SiO 2 and based on dry stock
  • Table 2 demonstrates the improvement in paper sizing obtained with the dispersion according to the invention.
  • Dispersions of the invention were prepared by homogenising a mixture of 0.8% by weight of di(hydrogenated tallow)dimethylammonium chloride, 1.6% by weight of condensated sodium naphthalenesulphonate, 77.6% by weight of water and 20% by weight of AKD for a set time using an Ultra Turrax mixer at 15.000 rpm and then cooling the dispersion so obtained for 2 hours. Similar dispersions were prepared in the same manner at different AKD contents in order to provide dispersions with AKD contents of 10, 20, 30 and 40% by weight. The dispersions are denoted Inv. followed by the AKD content in % by weight.
  • Standard AKD dispersions were manufactured for comparison purposes in the same manner and under the same conditions by homogenising a mixture of 1.0% by weight of cationic starch, 0.25% by weight of sodium lignosulfonate, 89% by weight of water and 10% by weight of AKD. Similar dispersions were prepared at different AKD contents in order to provide standard dispersions with AKD contents of 10, 20, 30 and 40% by weight. The dispersions are denoted Ref. 3 followed by the AKD content in % by weight.
  • Table 3 demonstrates that the dispersions according to the invention were easier to manufacture; a lower viscosity was obtained at corresponding AKD contents and a smaller particle size was obtained using the same amount of energy to set surfaces free. Compared to the standard dispersion, less energy and lower shear forces are thus required according to this invention in order to manufacture dispersions with equal particle size. In addition, an increase in stirrer speed to 25.000 rpm considerably reduced the particle size of the dispersions according to the invention to be within the range of from 1 to 2 ⁇ m.
