Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the treatment of aqueous slurries of finely divided fillers and their use for the production of papers with high filler content and high dry strength.
- the filler slurry is added to the fiber suspension prior to passing it to the former of the paper machine.
- a retention aid or retention aid system is typically added to the filler / pulp suspension to retain as much filler as possible in the paper sheet.
- the addition of the filler to the paper gives the papermaker the opportunity to achieve numerous improvements in sheet properties. These include properties such as opacity, whiteness, feel and printability.
- filler-containing papers or papers with a particularly high filler content are easier to dry than non-filler papers or papers with a lower filler content.
- the paper machine can be operated faster and with lower steam consumption, which both increases productivity and lowers costs.
- the filler addition to the fiber suspension also entails disadvantages which can only be partially compensated by the addition of further paper auxiliaries.
- the amount of filler that can be used there are limits to the amount of filler that can be used.
- the strength properties of the paper are usually the most important parameters that limit the amount of filler in the paper.
- Other factors, such as filler retention, dewatering of the pulp suspension, and possibly increased need for chemicals in retention and sizing may also play a role here.
- the loss of strength properties of papers can in some cases be compensated in whole or in part by the use of dry and wet strength agents.
- a common procedure is the addition of cationic starch as dry strength in the pulp.
- synthetic dry and wet strength e.g. based on cationic or anionic polyacrylamides used.
- the amount of addition and the strengthening effect are in most
- the increase in the filler content leads to an increase in paper density and a decrease in the thickness of the paper sheet at the same basis weight.
- the latter leads to a significant decrease in paper stiffness.
- This decrease in paper stiffness can not be compensated in many cases by the use of dry strength agents alone.
- additional measures such as the reduction of the mechanical pressure in the press section in the calenders, in calenders or in the dryer section of the paper machine are necessary. The latter compensates the thickness loss by increasing the filler in whole or in part.

- an anionic dispersant is used, for example, from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight, preferably from 0.2 to 0.3% by weight, for the preparation of aqueous filler slurries.
- the finely divided fillers dispersed in water in the presence of anionic dispersants are anionic.
- the aqueous slurries contain, for example, 10 to 30% by weight, usually 15 to 25% by weight, of at least one filler.
- the stability of the latex dispersion is first reduced.
- a reduction in the stability of the latex dispersion may be advantageous, thereby achieving a better affinity of the latex on the pigment surface.
- the reduction of the stability of the latex dispersion can be achieved by:
- the aqueous dispersion of at least one latice is up to
- the treatment of the aqueous slurry of finely divided fillers with the latices and the starch can be carried out continuously or batchwise.
- the filler particles are at least partially coated or impregnated with the latices and the starch.
- the mixing of the components takes place, for example, in a shear field. In most cases, it is sufficient to stir the components after being brought into contact or to treat them in a shear field of an Ultraturrax device.
- the combination and mixing of the ingredients of the aqueous slurries for example, in the temperature range of 0 0 C to 60 0 C, preferably 10 to 50 0 C take place. In most cases the components are mixed at the respective room temperature up to a temperature-temperature of 40 0 C.
- the pH of the treated latexes, starch and optionally co-additives aqueous slurries of finely divided fillers is for example 5 to 1 1, preferably 6 to 9, wherein the pH of calcium carbonate-containing slurries is preferably more than 6.5.
- Another object of the invention is the use of the aqueous slurries, which are prepared by the novel process, as an additive to the paper stock in the production of filler-containing paper, filler-containing cardboard or filler-containing paperboard by dewatering of the paper stock.
- wood-containing uncoated papers such as improved newsprint or SC papers for offset or gravure printing.
- the fillers pretreated by the method described above are mixed into the pulp to form the total pulp.
- the overall fabric may contain other conventional paper additives.
- sizing agents such as alkyl ketene dimers (AKD), alkenylsuccinic anhydrides (ASA), rosin size, wet strength agents, cationic or anionic retention agents based on synthetic polymers.
- Suitable retention agents are, for example, anionic microparticles (colloidal silicic acid, bentonite), anionic polyacrylamides, cationic polyacrylamides, cationic starch, cationic polyethylenimine or cationic polyvinylamine.
- any combinations thereof are contemplated, such as dual systems consisting of a cationic polymer with an anionic microparticle or an anionic polymer with a cationic microparticle.
- a mixture of bleached birch sulphate and bleached pine sulphite was blotted open in a ratio of 70/30 at a solids concentration of 4% in the laboratory pulper until a freeness of 30-35 was reached.
- the opened substance is an optical brightener (Blankophor PSG ®, Bayer AG) and a cationic starch (HICAT ® 5163 A) were then added.
- the digestion of the cationic starch was carried out as a 10 wt .-% starch slurry in a jet cooker at 130 0 C and 1 minute residence time.
- the metered amount of the optical brightener was 0.5% by weight of commercial product, based on the solids content of the paper stock suspension.
- the dosage of the cationic starch was 0.5 wt .-% of starch, based on the solids content of the pulp suspension.
- the pH of the substance was in the range between 7 and 8.
- the milled material was then diluted by addition of water to a solids concentration of 0.35 wt .-%.
- aqueous filler slurries in the production of filler-containing paper, in each case 500 ml of the paper stock suspension were added and the slurries treated according to the examples were metered into this pulp and a cationic polyacrylamide as retention agent (polymer). min ® KE 2020, BASF Aktiengesellschaft). The metered amount of the retention agent in each case in each case 0.01 wt .-% polymer, based on the solids content of the pulp suspension.
- the paper sheets were each fabricated on a Rapid-Köthen sheet former according to ISO 5269/2 with a sheet weight of 70 g / m 2 and then dried for 7 minutes at 90 0 C.
