Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new method for manufacturing paper based on cellulose fiber in sheet form, in which a new retention system comprising bentonite and a cationic galactomannan is used to improve in particular the retention of the incorporated mineral fillers.
- the present invention also relates to a process for making paper using a retention system which appreciably improves drainage (or drainage), that is to say the speed with which water flows from the suspension of fibers.
- the mechanical properties of the paper obtained according to the process of the invention are improved, for example the rigidity and the tear resistance as well as other properties such as whiteness.
- the retention system according to the invention can have advantages with regard to the quality and recyclability of white water from the paper manufacturing process as well as paper broken during the manufacturing process.
- Paper making poses many problems.
- One of the permanent concerns is to decrease the cost of paper by decreasing the quantity of cellulose fibers in the composition of the pulp.
- Another approach consists in reducing the concentration of aqueous discharges due to the increasingly severe environmental constraints. Papermakers have proposed various ways to reduce the cost of paper and try to improve its properties.
- One of the approaches used is the addition of inexpensive mineral fillers in the papermaking process to replace the fiber.
- certain mineral fillers are specifically used to improve certain properties of the paper.
- titanium oxide is used in its anatase and / or rutile forms to improve the opacity of the papers, in particular in the case of laminated papers.
- EP 490 425 A1 proposes a dual system with - 2 - WO 99/55963 PCT / FR99 / 00969
- the cationic polymer being either a cationic starch or a cationic galactomannan
- retention agents or retention systems such as those containing an aluminum-modified carbohydrate polymer, are complex and expensive products, which therefore does not allow their use for products of ordinary quality.
- the Applicant has developed a new process for manufacturing paper using a new retention system which considerably increases the retention of mineral fillers, fibers and other materials in the paper sheet.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a retention system and a process for manufacturing paper in which the properties of the paper obtained, including for example the opacity yield of mineral fillers, the tear strengths, the whiteness and other necessary properties are improved, by optimizing the use of mineral fillers Of course, optimization is done according to the type of filler used
- Another object of the invention is to provide a paper having a high concentration of mineral fillers which has a tear resistance and other acceptable characteristics.
- Another object of the invention is to propose an alternative of an economically viable retention system which does not require the use of complex and expensive products.
- the present invention is based on the development of a retention system and of the process for manufacturing paper using it which markedly increases the retention of mineral fillers and other characteristics of the paper and which allows the optimization of the action. of mineral fillers present in the paper pulp
- the increase in the retention of the mineral filler and of fines in the context of our papermaking process mitigates the problems of contamination of white water
- the present invention therefore relates to a process for manufacturing paper by forming and drying an aqueous paper pulp containing cellulose pulp and mineral fillers in which a system is incorporated into the mother pulp before the formation of the sheet.
- retention system comprising a cationic galactomannan containing at least two vicinal groups and a bentonite suspension - 3 - WO 99/55963 PCT / FR99 / 00969
- the amount of solids in the retention system is generally 0.02 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 1% by weight, based on the weight of the paper pulp or mother pulp.
- the ratio of bentonite / galactomannan must be between 1 and 10 by weight, and preferably, this ratio is between 2 and 6, the latter depending in particular on the degree of substitution of galactomannan.
- a bentonite suspension is understood to consist of any type of commercial product designated as bentonite or as bentonite-type clay, that is to say, the anionic swelling clays such as sepialite, attapulgite or , preferably, montmorillinite.
- the bentonites described in the document U.S. 4,305,781 are suitable for their use in the context of the invention.
- Suitable montmorillonite clays include Wyoming bentonites or soapy soils.
- the clays may or may not be chemically modified, for example, by alkaline treatment to exchange the calcium from the bentonite to the alkali metal.
- the swelling clays are usually metal silicates comprising a metal chosen from aluminum and magnesium, and optionally other metals, and the ratio of silica atoms / metal atoms at the surface of the clay particles, and generally within their structure, is from 5/1 to 1/1.
- the ratio is relatively low, the metal being practically or completely aluminum but with a little magnesium and sometimes with, for example a little iron.
- all or part of the aluminum is replaced by magnesium and the ratio can be very low, for example around 1.5 for sepialite.
- the use of silicates in which part of the aluminum has been replaced by iron seems particularly desirable.
- the aqueous suspension is generally prepared by dispersing the bentonite powder in water.
- the quantity of bentonite contained in said suspension is chosen such that the final percentage by weight of bentonite relative to the weight of the paper pulp will be between approximately 0.1 and 5%.
- the viscosity of the bentonite suspension is generally less than 500 mPa.s (measured with the Brookfield viscometer at 100 revolutions / minute).
- the sizes of the bentonite particles are preferably such that at least 90% are less than 100 microns, and preferably at least 60% are less than 50 microns (dry particle size).
- the surface of the bentonite before swelling is preferably at least 30 and generally at least 50, typically from 60 to 90 m 2 / g and the surface after swelling is preferably from 400 to 800 m 2 / g.
- Bentonite advantageously swells at least 15 to 20 times.
- the size of at least 90% of the particles after swelling is preferably less than 2 microns.
- the cationic galactomannan according to the invention does not need to be modified with aluminum; it is preferably selected from galactomannans comprising at least two vicinal hydroxyl groups, in particular, cationic guars. With regard to the guars, it has been observed that their reactive centers are particularly accessible, which makes it possible to use small quantities of them to achieve a satisfactory effect.
- the basic guar in cationic guar is of the natural type. Natural guar is extracted from the albumen of certain plant seeds, for example Cyamopsis Tetragonalobus.
- the guar macromolecule consists of a linear main chain constructed from bD-mannose monomeric sugars linked together by bonds (1-4), and aD-galactose side units linked to bD-mannoses by bonds (1-4) 6).
- cationic guars are formed by reaction between hydroxyl groups of the polygalactomannan and reactive quaternary ammonium compounds.
- the degree of substitution of the cationic groups of guar is generally at least 0.01 and preferably at least 0.05 and can range up to 1.0. In the context of the invention, an appropriate range extends from 0.08 to 0.5. It is assumed that the molecular weight of guar gum ranges from 50,000 to 3,000,000 and, generally, it is around 2,000,000.
- the retention system When the retention system is used with cationic guar as one of the components, the mineral fillers are retained to a significant degree in the final product and the paper produced has improved resistance compared to a paper obtained from 'a process without a retention system.
- non-limiting examples are the products of the MEPROBROND 110, MEPROBOND 9806, MEPROBOND 109, JAGUAR C-13-S, JAGUAR C-14-S, JAGUAR C-15, JAGUAR C-17 series, JAGUAR C-162 from MEYHALL and RHODIA Chimie, GUAR CAT 10 products from CESALPINIA.
- these will be formulated in the form of aqueous solutions.
- the mineral fillers used in the process are varied in nature and are chosen in particular according to the type of paper manufactured and its future use.
- the mineral filler material that can be used includes any common mineral filler whose surface is at least partially anionic in character.
- mineral fillers non-limiting mention will be made of kaolin, clay, chalk, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, bentonite, and their mixture.
- the mineral fillers are normally added in the form of an aqueous dispersion at the appropriate concentrations specific to the type of paper manufactured.
- ECC calcium carbonate Omyafill from OMYA and Calopake from RHODIA Chimie, titanium dioxide Finntitan from KEMIRA and Rhoditan from RHODIA Chimie.
- the mechanical properties of paper including the modulus of elasticity, the tensile index, the absorption of tensile energy, etc., have values equal to or even greater than those previously achieved with papers. obtained from conventional paper pulps in which a retention agent of the prior art is optionally used.
- the sheet after drying, has greatly improved resistance characteristics when the method according to the invention is used. It has also been found that when mineral fillers such as those mentioned above and the like are used in the paste, these mineral fillers are effectively retained in the sheet and moreover do not have a negative effect on the strength of the sheet, this in contrast to the sheets obtained by a manufacturing process without gelling system according to the invention.
- the manufacture of the paper sheet necessarily passes through a draining step which can profoundly modify the structure of the colloids as well as their distribution. Changes in the structure of aggregates of draining charges affect the retention rate of these as well as the opacity of the paper obtained.
- a flocculate is formed within the cellulosic network which traps the charges to preserve during this critical stage the properties that the particles have in suspension.
- the components of the retention system are added within the papermaking device as a mixture or separately.
- the optimal results are obtained when the retention system based on bentonite and galactomannan is formed in situ in the paper pulp.
- this can be carried out by first adding galactomannan in the form of an aqueous solution and separately adding to the paste the aqueous bentonite solution in a mixing tank or at a point in the device where there is stirring. suitable, so that the two components are dispersed with the paper forming components and thus act simultaneously with each other and with the paper forming components.
- the pH of the mother pulp is not excessively critical and is generally less than 11, and preferably between 5 to 9 .
- the quantity of retention system to be used varies according to the desired effect and the characteristics of the particular components which are chosen in the preparation of said system. For example, for a bentonite with the characteristics given in a retention system, if the latter contains cationic guar gum with a DS of 0.03 instead of a DS of 0.07, more retention systems will be required .
- the use of the retention system according to the present invention is notably compared to the uses of guar alone, of a bentonite + starch system, and of a bentonite + polyacrylamide system.
- Retention performance is mainly measured by two parameters:
- This method consists in measuring the chemical retention of the charges, avoiding the formation of the fibrous mattress responsible for a mechanical retention by filtration effect.
- 1000 ml of the fiber dispersion is kept maintained with stirring at 500 rp m , firstly the dissolved cationic guar, then the bentonite suspension is then added secondly, the first 200 ml are drawn off through a sieve
- the global retention values fibers + fillers
- This retention measurement method is described by K Bntt and JE Unbehend in Research Report 75, 1/10 1981, published by Empire State Paper Research Institute ESPRA, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA
- a filtration bowl was used fitted with an opening grid of 125 P with openings of 75 ⁇ m Method called "Shopper-Riegler"
- the cationic guar used has a D S equal to 0 1 and the bentonite used is the product Opazil from the company Sud Chemie
- This example shows the chemical retention obtained by applying the BRITT bowl test
- the fiber mixture consists of 60% by weight of chemical pulp E'Eucalyptus and 40% by weight of chemical pulp of long sulfated fiber. This mixture is obtained by refining in a Rieth Hollander apparatus up to 24 SR to obtain a pulp having a density of 3% This pulp is then diluted to 0 5% with a pH of the order of 7
- 1000 ml of the prepared suspension mixture are taken. These 1000 ml are introduced into the BRITT bowl with stirring with a pale propeller type and fitted with a 125 P grid of 75 ⁇ m.
- the stirring speed is around 500 r p m
- This example shows the drainage calculated using the modified Shopper Riegler method.
- the 1000 ml are then transferred to the tank of the Shopper Riegler device.
- the time required to drain 600 ml of solution is calculated. in Calculations and results.
- the time measured in seconds is that of the degree of drainage. For results, see Table 2.
