Definitions
- the present invention relates to papermaking processes and products made from these processes. More particularly, the present invention relates to treating papermaking pulp with at least one charged starch, such as cationically-charged starches, and one or more optical brighteners.
- Optical brighteners or optical brightening agents (OBAs) and Fluorescent Whitening Agents (FWAs) are typically used in certain papermaking processes in order to increase or improve the brightness of paper or paperboard and/or to increase or improve the paper fluorescence intensity.
- OBA/FWA products may be added at the size press with other additives. Other certain OBA/FWAs may be added in the wet end of the paper making process.
- the present invention relates, in part, to increasing the retention and/or the efficiency of OBAs/FWAs, whether present from wet end addition of OBA or OBA present in the broke (contains recycled paper), as well as not quenching or dulling the impact of OBA from any source, on the paper machine and in the final sheet of paper.
- Many consumers prefer paper with a high brightness, and the brightness of the paper is typically promoted as one important parameter to consumers of paper products.
- In order to achieve the brightness in paper especially papers having a high brightness, such as over 80%, one or more optical brighteners or optical brightening agents are added during the papermaking process. These optical brighteners can be quite expensive and raise the overall cost of the paper product. This can be seen by any consumer purchasing paper.
- optical brightening agents are added to the wet end process, or to the size press or to both the wet end and to the size press within the papermaking process.
- coagulants and flocculants are further used during the papermaking process in order to obtain desirable pulp characteristics, paper characteristics, and paper machine retention and runnability.
- coagulants neutralize system charge and assists the pulp fibers, fines, fillers and functional additives to electrostatically coagulate together retaining them in the sheet and to form a more uniform paper product.
- coagulants include polyaminoamido glycol, polyethylene imine, polyamine, polydadmac, alum and polyaiuminum chloride. While coagulants are necessary to produce paper having suitable characteristics, many of these coagulants, unfortunately, ' affect in a negative way, the optical brighteners previously added.
- the coagulants are also typically added at the wet end stage of the papermaking process either to a thick stock or a thin stock feed location.
- a feature of the present invention is to provide a method of making paper or paperboard which preferably does not dull the effects of optical brightening agents.

- Both BFL 5521 and BFL 5567 were cationic starches with different charge densities.
- FIG 4 shows the fluorescence image of the prepared paper samples.
- small paper pieces were cut from the handsheets and taped on the fluorescence lamp. The picture was taken in a dark 1 room using a digital camera.
- the introduction of cationic starches increased the fluorescence intensity (samples 3 and 5).
- the samples with higher cationic starch dosages (samples 4 and 6) displayed higher fluorescence intensity.
- cationic starches such as BFL 5521 and BFL 5567 starch compositions, improved optical brightener performance by increasing both the paper ISO brightness and the paper fluorescence intensity (excited by UV).
- a cationic starch pursuant to the present invention, was present in the wet pulp in an amount of 4 pounds per ton of dried pulp based on a dry solids basis. Both of these cationic starches are available from Buckman Laboratories International. The remaining four samples contained a conventional coagulant in the pulp, namely polyamine or polyDMDAAC, in an amount of 2 pounds per ton or 4 pounds per ton of dried pulp based on a dry solids basis.
- BUFLOC 5567 organic coagulant was used. More specifically, BUFLOC 5567 coagulant was introduced into the thin stock stage starting at an amount of 0.5 lb/ton, which was gradually increased to 2 lb/ton, and then increased to 3 lb/ton, and then increased to 4 lb/ton for the remainder of the trial. The dosage was then decreased by 1 lb/ton every reel until the trial was finished.
- the brightness and fluorescence level were not significantly effected through the use of the BUFLOC 5567 coagulant.
- the average brightness from one week before and one week following the experiment was 91.8 and the average fluorescence was 2.4.
- the average brightness was about 91.3 and the fluorescence was about 2.2.
- the optical brightening agent usage significantly dropped and yet, average brightness and average fluorescence were maintained as described above. More specifically, prior to the experiment, the OBA usage was around 750-950 ml/m per side. However, during the experiment with the use of BUFLOC 5567, a significant reduction in OBA was obtainable.
- the OBA used during the experiment was around 450-550 ml/min. to meet optical specifications. This is an overall reduction of approximately 500-700 ml/min.
- the hardwood level chest based loading remaining constant at about 0.73 pounds per ton.
- the amount of OBA can be significantly reduced and yet brightness levels and fluorescence levels maintained at acceptable levels.
- the charged starch coagulant can be used in all grades of paper to improve brightness and fluorescence efficiency, as well as improve retention, drainage, de-watering, and/or formation. Further, as shown in the studies, the use of charged starch coagulant significantly improved the retention and distribution of fillers and other functional additives while reducing dusting, linting, sheet defects, and/or holes, and allows superior paper machine runability and sheet quality.
