Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for improving papermaking or board making process, use of a polysaccharide and a paper according to the preambles of the enclosed claims.
  • Strength of wet paper web is one of the important factors in making of paper or board. Machines producing paper grades whose strength before drying is a critical factor may have high efficiency but their average production speed may be significantly lower than their nominal speed. The speed of these paper machines could be raised if the strength of the wet paper web could be increased.
  • Common dry strength agents do not improve strength of the wet paper web.
  • One example of such dry strength agents is starch, which has a 1 ,4-a-anomeric structure. Typical starches include amylose, which is a linear 1 ,4-a-glucan polymer and amylopectin, which has branched structure. The amylopectin backbone is 1 ,4- a-glucan polymer and the branches are linked to the backbone with 1 ,6-a- glycosidic bonds.
  • Fillers such as clay, calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate or talc are used in paper and board making to reduce costs and to improve optical properties of paper or board. Fillers are added to the stock before the headbox of the paper machine. For coated paper grades coating pigments, which comprise the same minerals, may partly enter to the paper via the broke, which is recycled back to paper making process. The content of fillers and coating pigments is typically measured through ash content measurement by burning the stock or paper sample in 525 °C.
  • the base paper for uncoated fine paper and for coated fine paper is made from softwood and hardwood and its ash content is typically 18 - 24 %.
  • the base paper for 100 % softwood based uncoated fine paper and for coated fine paper has an ash content typically 10 - 17 %.
  • An important limiting factor preventing the increase of filler content in fine papers is the reduced strength properties of the paper and reduced web runnability.
  • An object of this invention is to minimise or even eliminate the disadvantages existing in the prior art.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an effective and simple method for improving tensile strength of a paper web or the like.
  • An object of the present invention is to increase filler content of paper in order to reduce papermaking costs.
  • Typical method according to the present invention for improving papermaking or board making process comprises
  • Typical paper according to the present invention is produced by using the method according to the invention.
  • Typical use according to the present invention of a polysaccharide which has 1 ,4- ⁇ -anomeric configuration in linkages between saccharide units of the polysaccharide backbone or the main polysaccharide backbone is for increasing filler content of the paper or board, for reducing basis weight, and/or improving runnability of a wet paper or board web.
  • the tensile strength of the wet paper or board is clearly improved when a polysaccharide having 1 ,4- -anomeric configuration in the linkages between saccharide units is brought into a contact with fibres in the stock or with fibres in a wet paper web.
  • the improved tensile strength of the wet web, as well as the improved dry tensile strength of the paper that may be achieved with the present invention enables an increase in the filler content of paper.
  • a high filler content in the base paper may be used, corresponding to ash content e.g. over 25 % both for uncoated fine paper and for coated fine paper base paper made from softwood and hardwood mixture.
  • a high filler content in the base paper may be used for 100 % softwood based uncoated fine paper and for coated fine paper base paper, the high filler content corresponding to an ash content over 18 %.
  • An improvement in tensile strength may enable an ash content increase also for other paper and board grades, such as ash content increase to over 15 % for newsprint grades, or ash content increase over 12 % coated mechanical base paper, or ash content increase over 34 % for SC paper. Improvement in tensile strength also may be utilised by changing to a cheaper raw material mixture for the stock. For example, less old corrugated container (OCC) and more collected paper from households to make test liner or fluting board grade.
  • OCC corrugated container
  • the ash content of recycled fibre based fluting or test liner board may be increased over 1 5%.
  • Fillers which are used in making or paper or board, which are suitable for use in the present invention, and the content of which may be increased, are preferably clay, calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, titanium dioxide or talc, or their mixtures. Often the used filler has an anionic net charge.

  • the polysaccharide, which has 1 ,4- -anomeric configuration in the linkages between saccharide units of the polysaccharide backbone or the main polysaccharide backbone is guar gum.
  • guar gum is understood as a carbohydrate polymer containing galactose and mannose structural building blocks, especially containing one galactose unit for every two mannose units.
  • the backbone is a linear chain of ⁇ 1 ,4-linked mannose residues to which galactose residues are 1 ,6- linked at every second mannose, forming short side-branches.
  • Guar gum is typically obtained as an extract of guar bean. It may be used in native form or it may be used in cationised or anionised form.
  • anionised guar gum is applied to the fibre stock or on the wet fibre web after application of cationic strength agent to the fibre stock and/or on the wet fibre web.

  • the polysaccharide having 1 ,4- ⁇ -anomeric configuration in the linkages between saccharide units of the polysaccharide backbone or the main polysaccharide backbone is carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC.
  • Carboxymethyl cellulose is understood here as an anionic polymer, which is produced by introducing carboxyl methyl groups to the cellulose chain, the degree of substitution and the chain length of the cellulose backbone affecting the properties of CMC, such as water solubility. When the degree of substitution exceeds 0.3, carboxymethyl cellulose becomes water soluble.
  • the polysaccharide having 1 ,4- ⁇ -anomeric configuration in the linkages between saccharide units of the polysaccharide backbone or the main polysaccharide backbone is a polysaccharide with high degree of polymerisation (DP).
  • DP polysaccharide with high degree of polymerisation

  • Concentration of polysaccharides with high degree of polymerisation (DP) in the solution may be even ⁇ 1 weight-%, more typically 0.05 - 1 weight-%, even more typically 0.2 - 0.6 weight-%.
  • the polysaccharide is applied to the fibre stock between the last pump preceding the paper or board machine headbox and the outlet of the paper or board machine headbox.
  • the polysaccharide is added to the stock as near the headbox as possible, or the polysaccharide may be added directly to the headbox, if adequate mixing to the stock can be secured. Addition of the polysaccharide near the headbox improves the bonding of the fibres together with the polysaccharide, as the polysaccharide remains in outstretched form due to short residence time in the stock and the adsorption of the polysaccharide over the fibre surface is reduced.
  • the polysaccharide when added to the stock after the last pump, the risk for breaking the flocks generated by the polysaccharide and fragmentation of the polysaccharide backbone due to shear forces is minimised.
  • the activity of the polysaccharide remains in a high level, and it dosage may be reduced or better tensile strength values may be obtained by using the same dosage.

The effect of different polysaccharides on wet web strength can be seen. Guar gum is most effective. Chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) improved also wet web strength. As reference were used a spraying of water or handsheet without any spraying.
  • Pulp containing 70% hardwood with SR-value 24 and 30 % softwood with SR- value 28 was acquired from a Finnish pulp mill. SR-value was measured according to ISO 5267-1 . Precipitated calcium carbonate was used as filler. Filler was added to the pulp and target level for addition was 20 % filler content in the final web.
  • Retention chemical was Fennopol K3400R (Kemira Oyj) with dosage 200 g/t and it was added to the headbox feed flow. Tests were made with a small fourdrinier type of wire section. Grammage of formed web was 70 g/m 2 . Chemicals were sprayed on the wet web at the wire. The samples were wet pressed with 350 kPa and 50 kPa for 5+2 minutes after spraying.
  • Tensile strength was measured according to ISO 1924-2:2008. The dryness of the paper samples was determined by using a Mettler Toledo HR73 infra-red dryer.
  • FIG 3 shows results for tensile strength in semipilot test (Example 2) for sprayed guar gum and Figure 4 shows tensile energy adsorption in semipilot test (Example 2) for sprayed guar gum.
  • the effect of guar gum wet web spraying dosage levels on wet web strength can be observed in the Figures. Spraying dosages were 0.1 g/m 2 (1 .4 kg/t), 0.3 g/m 2 (4.2 kg/t) and 0.5 g/m 2 (7.1 kg/t). Dosages of 0.1 g/m 2 and 0.3 g/m 2 improved both wet web tensile and solids content after wet pressing.
  • 0.5 g/m 2 improves strength further, but solids content in wet pressing is reduced. Therefore optimum dosage may be between 0.1 g/m 2 and 0.5 g/m 2 , at least under these experimental conditions.
  • Tensile strength is needed for web to keep enough tension at paper machine dryer section to allow high operation speed. If the tension of the web is not high enough, the sheet does not follow dryer fabric and sheet fluttering may cause web break due to wind effect caused by high speed.
  • Tensile energy adsorption T.E.A. improvement helps to avoid web break, if web has fault such as a hole, slime spot, sticky particle or locally lower basis weight, because higher strength reduces risk that web tears apart beging from the fault position.
  • Test furnish was a mixture of softwood and hardwood kraft pulp for fine paper, containing 40 weigth-% scalenohedric precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) filler. In some tests additional PCC was applied. Chemicals were added to furnish under stirring with magnetic stirrer before sheet preparation. Dosing time of cationic polyacrylamide (C-PAM) retention aid and guar gum was typical for paper machine retention system, see Table 1 . Guar gum and C-PAM were premixed as powder in proportion 1 :1 , and then dissolved to 0.5 weight-% concentration with water, giving a final concentration of 0.25 weight-% guar gum and 0.25 weight-% C-PAM.
  • C-PAM cationic polyacrylamide
  • Chemicals used in the tests were: cationic potato starch (DS 0.035), guar gum (Sigma G4129) and cationic polyacrylamide, C-PAM, Fennopol K 3400 R (Kemira Oyj). All were dissolved to 0.5 weight-% solution except starch was cooked to 1 weight-% solution.
  • Handsheets were prepared with Rapid Kotchen semi-automatic sheet former to 80 g/m2 basis weight according to ISO 5269-2:2004. Ash content was measured according to ISO 1762:2001 .
