Abstract

Cationically dispersed Al(OH), suspensions with a high solids content, contg. 0.1-3.0 wt.% of a dispersant consisting of poly-aluminium hydroxide-chloride (PAC) and/or mixts. of PAC with cationic polymers and/or co-condensation prods. of PAC and cationic dicyandiamide resin. Pref. the PAC is prepd. in situ by adding AlCl3 and/or HCl to the Al hydroxide suspension. Pref. PAC has an Al2O3 content of 5-25 wt.%. Suitable cationic polymers (CP) are polyethyleneimine, polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride and dicyandiamide (DCD) resins, with a wt. ratio of (PAC):(CP = (30:70)-(95:5). Co-condensates of PAC and cationic DCD resin have a mole ratio of (DCD):(Al) - (1:15)-(1:2).

Description

509 som 2 slamningens totala vikt. Medan aluminiumhydroxid i pulverforrn redan vid halter om 30 viktprocent i vatten bildar en pasta som inte går att röra om utan tillsatsen enligt upp- ñnningen, kan man med tillsatsen enligt uppfinningen framställa lågviskösa aluminium- hydroxiduppslamningar med en halt fasta partiklar om 60 viktprocent eller mera. 509 as 2 the total weight of the slurry. While aluminum hydroxide in powder form already at concentrations of 30% by weight in water forms a paste which can not be stirred without the additive according to the invention, the additive according to the invention can produce low-viscosity aluminum hydroxide slurries with a solids content of 60% by weight or more.

Inom ramen för föreliggande uppfmning är det också möjligt, att framställa PAC interrnediärt i aluminiumhydroxiduppslamningen, vilket är möjligt mycket enkelt genom tillsats av bestämda mängder saltsyra och/eller aluminiumklorid (AlCl3).Within the scope of the present invention, it is also possible to produce PAC internally in the aluminum hydroxide slurry, which is possible very simply by adding certain amounts of hydrochloric acid and / or aluminum chloride (AlCl 3).

PAC, som lämpligen har en Al2O3-halt om 5 till 25 viktprocent, kan användas antingen ensamt eller i kombination med katjoniska polymerer. Som katjoniska polymerer kan härvid lämpligen användas polyetylenimin (Polyminø SK från BASF), polydiallyldime- tylammoniumklorid (Polydadmacø 570 från SNF Floerger) eller katjoniska dicyandiamid- harts (Melflockø C3 från SKW Trostberg AG). Dessa katjoniska dicyandiamidharts respektive deras framställning beskrivs t ex i DE-OS 35 00 408.PAC, which suitably has an Al 2 O 3 content of 5 to 25% by weight, can be used either alone or in combination with cationic polymers. As cationic polymers, polyethyleneimine (Polyminø SK from BASF), polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (Polydadmacø 570 from SNF Floerger) or cationic dicyandiamide resin (Mel fl ockø C3 from SKW Trostberg AG) can be suitably used. These cationic dicyandiamide resins and their preparation are described, for example, in DE-OS 35 00 408.

De bägge komponenterna PAC och katjoniska polymerer i dessa blandningar kan visserligen varieras inom vida gränser, men det har dock visat sig särskilt lämpligt att använda PAC och den katjoniska polymeren i ett viktförhållande om 30:70 till 9525.Although the two components PAC and cationic polymers in these mixtures can be varied within wide limits, it has been found to be particularly suitable to use PAC and the cationic polymer in a weight ratio of 30:70 to 9525.

Inom ramen för föreliggande uppfmning är det även möjligt, att använda motsva-_ rande samkondensationsprodukt i stället för blandningen av PAC och katjoniskt dicyandi- amidharts. Dessa samkondensationsprodukter respektive deras framställning är känd genom DE-OS 37 42 764. Förhållandet mellan PAC och katjoniskt dicyandiamidharts i denna samkondensationsprodukt kan likaså variera inom vida gränser, dock är ett molför- hållande mellan dicyandiarnid och aluminium om 1:15 till 1:2 lämpligt.Within the scope of the present invention, it is also possible to use the corresponding co-condensation product instead of the mixture of PAC and cationic dicyandiamide resin. These co-condensation products and their preparation are known from DE-OS 37 42 764. The ratio of PAC to cationic dicyandiamide resin in this co-condensation product can also vary within wide limits, however a molar ratio of dicyandiarnide to aluminum of 1:15 to 1: 2 is suitable. .

Framställningen av aluminiumhydroxiduppslamningar enligt uppfinningen är relativt problemfri. Det katjoniska dispergerrnedlet kan t ex sättas till blandningsvattnet varpå den pulverforrniga aluminiumhydroxiden (lämplig partikelstorlek 1 till 2 um) inblandas. Dispergermedlet kan dock också sättas till redan fuktad aluminiumhydroxid.The production of aluminum hydroxide slurries according to the invention is relatively trouble-free. The cationic dispersant can be added, for example, to the mixing water, after which the powdered aluminum hydroxide (suitable particle size 1 to 2 μm) is mixed in. However, the dispersant can also be added to already moistened aluminum hydroxide.

Dessutom kan också en blandning av aluminiumhydroxid och dispergermedel ske med eller utan efterföljande torkning.In addition, a mixture of aluminum hydroxide and dispersant can also take place with or without subsequent drying.

Slutligen är det också möjligt, att spraytorka den uppfinningsenligt framställda aluminiumhydroxiduppslamningen och, genom tillsats av vatten, på nyttàstadkomma en uppslarnning. I samtliga fall är det möjligt att problemfritt framställa lágviskösa alumi- niumhydroxiduppslamningar med en halt fasta partiklar om 60 viktprocent eller mera.Finally, it is also possible to spray-dry the aluminum hydroxide slurry prepared according to the invention and, by adding water, to obtain a slurry in a useful manner. In all cases, it is possible to easily produce low-viscosity aluminum hydroxide slurries with a solids content of 60% by weight or more.
