Definitions

  • This invention relates to sizing of paper and more specifically to aqueous dispersions containing a cellulose-reactive sizing agent and a hydrophobically modified dispersing agent, their preparation and use.
  • Cellulose-reactive sizing agents such as those based on alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) and alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), are widely used in papermaking at neutral or slightly alkaline stock pH's in order to give paper and paper board some degree of resistance to wetting and penetration by aqueous liquids.
  • Paper sizes based on cellulose-reactive sizing agents are generally provided in the form of dispersions containing an aqueous phase and finely divided particles or droplets of the sizing agent dispersed therein.
  • the dispersions are usually prepared with the aid of a dispersant system consisting of an anionic compound, e.g.
  • sodium lignosulfonate in combination with a high molecular weight cationic or amphoteric polymer, e.g. cationic starch, polyamine, polyamideamine or a vinyl addition polymer.
  • a high molecular weight cationic or amphoteric polymer e.g. cationic starch, polyamine, polyamideamine or a vinyl addition polymer.
  • the size dispersions will be cationic or anionic in nature.
  • Cellulose-reactive sizing agents generally provide good sizing with low dosages of the sizing agent.
  • efficiency of conventional cellulose-reactive sizing agents is deteriorated when they are used with stocks having a high cationic demand and containing a substantial amount of lipophilic wood extractives, such as, for example, resin acids, fatty acids, fatty esters, triglycerides, etc.
  • lipophilic wood extractives such as, for example, resin acids, fatty acids, fatty esters, triglycerides, etc. Due to the anionic character of lipophilic substances containing carboxylate or carboxylic acid groups, stocks containing a substantial amount of lipophilic extractives usually have a rather high cationic demand.
  • EP-A-0186956 relates to a process for the preparation of paper suitable for use in the production of gypsum wallboard.
  • US-A-3102064 discloses a substituted cyclic dicarboxylic acid anhydride sizing agent for use in the sizing of paper and paperboard products.
  • US-A-4222820 relates to succinic anhydride derivative sizing agents for use in papermaking.
  • improved sizing can be obtained by using aqueous dispersions of cellulose-reactive sizing agent having a hydrophobe-modified dispersing agent containing one or more anionic groups in the internal sizing of stocks having a high cationic demand and/or containing high levels of lipophilic substances. It has also been found that improved sizing can be obtained by using such dispersions in papermaking processes where white water is extensively recirculated, thereby creating conditions of high cationic demand and/or high contents of lipophilic extractives.
  • the invention generally relates to the use of an aqueous sizing dispersion containing a cellulose-reactive sizing agent and a hydrophobically modified dispersing agent containing one or more anionic groups in the internal sizing of difficult-to-size stocks by addition of the sizing dispersion to a stock containing cellulosic fibres, and optional fillers, dewatering the stock on a wire to obtain a web containing cellulosic fibres, or paper.
  • the stock has a cationic demand of at least 50 ⁇ eq/litre stock filtrate.
  • the stock has a content of lipophilic substances of at least 10 ppm.
  • a third aspect of the invention comprises dewatering the stock on a wire to obtain white water and a web containing cellulosic fibres, recirculating the white water, and optionally introducing fresh water, to form a stock containing cellulosic fibres to be dewatered, wherein the amount of fresh water introduced is less than 30 tons per ton of dry cellulosic product produced.
  • the invention thus relates to the use of an aqueous sizing dispersion containing a cellulose-reactive sizing agent and a hydrophobically modified dispersing agent containing one or more anionic groups in a process for sizing cellulosic fibres, as further defined in claims 1 to 11.
  • the aqueous dispersion contains a cellulose-reactive sizing agent and an anionic hydrophobe-modified dispersing agent, notably an anionic hydrophobically modified cellulose-derivative, and this invention further relates to such a dispersion and its preparation, as further defined in claims 12 to 17, 19, 20.
  • the dispersion provides improved stability and sizing characteristics and it is particularly useful with papermaking stocks having a high cationic demand and containing lipophilic substances, notably with a high degree of white water closure.
  • the invention makes it possible to produce paper with improved sizing over conventional sizing dispersions at a corresponding dosage of cellulose-reactive sizing agent and to use a lower dosage of cellulose-reactive sizing agent to attain a corresponding level of sizing.
  • the possibility of using lower amounts of sizing agent to attain in-specification sizing reduces the risk of accumulation of non-adsorbed sizing agent in the white water recirculating in the process, thereby reducing the risk of aggregation and deposition of the sizing agent on the paper machine.
  • the invention thus offers substantial economic and technical benefits.

  • the AKD content was 30%.
  • Dispersion No. 2 contained 3% by weight of cationic surfactant and 1% by weight of FACMC, both based on the AKD.
  • Dispersion No. 1 Sizing efficiency of Dispersion No. 1 according to Example 1 was evaluated in this Example.
  • An anionic AKD dispersion was also prepared by using carboxymethyl cellulose as a dispersing agent (5% by weight of CMC, based on the AKD) and tested for comparison purposes.
  • This dispersion, Ref. 1, showed poor stability and was therefore used immediately after its preparation.
  • Paper sheets were prepared according to the standard method SCAN-C23X for laboratory scale.
  • the papermaking stock used contained 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 was added. Stock consistency was 0.5% and pH 8.0.
  • the size 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 8 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.
  • Table 1 demonstrates the improvement in paper sizing obtained with the anionic size dispersion according to the invention.
  • Dispersion No. 2 Sizing efficiency of Dispersion No. 2 according to Example 1 was evaluated and compared to a conventional anionic AKD dispersion, Ref. 2, containing a dispersant system consisting of sodium lignosulphonate and cationic starch where the lignosulphonate is present in ionic excess.
  • Example 2 The procedure of Example 2 was repeated except that the stock contained precipitated calcium carbonate as a filler instead of chalk, and the dosage of cationic starch was 12 kg/ton, based on dry stock.
  • 10 ppm of stearic acid was added to the stock in order to raise the cationic demand and the lipophilic substance content of the stock and to create conditions similar to those obtained with extensive white water recirculation.
  • the results are set forth in Table 2.
  • Dispersion No. 2 according to the invention generally gave much better sizing than the anionic dispersion Ref. 2 used for comparison, and considerably improved sizing effect was obtained when the stock had a higher cationic demand and contained a substantial amount of lipophilic substances.
