Description

METHOD AND USE INVOLVING NAPHTHALENE SULPHONATE SALT(S) AND
POLYETHYLENE OXIDE, TO IMPROVE RETENTION AND DRAINAGE
The present invention relates to a method and a use of naphthalene sulphonate salt(s), under granulated form or as a condensed or diluted solution , and a solution of polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight varying from 1 x 106 to 13 x 106, allowing for a mixture comprising lignocellulosic particles and an aqueous medium to significantly improve the retention of particles such as fines and fibres, on a wire screen and the drainage of the aqueous medium.
Advantageously, a particles retention, especially a retention of fines and fibres can be achieved for kraft, sulphite (high and low yield), bisulphite, mechanical, OPCO, BTCMP, TCMP, BCMP, hard wood, such as oak, birch, maple, elm, wild-cherry, soft woods such as conifere trees, and TMP pulps and any mix in any proportion of two or more types of pulp.
Application may be the followings: - any washer, thickener, save-all, disc filter or drum filter in any pulp making process;
any pulp machine, board machine or paper machine in the production sector;
- any clarifier or flotation or fibre separation unit in the effluent treatment process, including krofta, posseidon, sedimentation clarifier, but not limited to these;
any equipment used in the deinking process, included or not above.
Up to now, it was known to use polyethylene oxide to improve from a mixture comprising lignocellulosic fines and fibres, and an aqueous medium, a retention of fines and fibres on a wire screen and improve a drainage of the aqueous medium.
The Applicant has now surprisingly found that a method involving a combined use of one or several naphthalene sulphonate salt(s), under granulated form or advantageously as a condensed or diluted solution, and a solution of one or several polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight varying from 1 x 106 to 13 x 106, in admixture with a mixture of lignocellulosic particles and an aqueous medium, allows to improve a retention of said particles on a wire screen and a drainage of said aqueous medium. This combined use shows a synergistic effect. A condensed naththalene sulphonate salt means a solution saturated with said, salt for example a condensed sodium naphthalene sulphonate salt means an aqueous solution containing about 41-46% of said salt.
More particularly, the invention relates to an improvement in a method for the production of paper and analogous products.
This improvement is characterized by the fact that one or several naphthalene sulphonate salt(s), said salt(s) being under granulated form or advantageously as a condensed or diluted solution, and a solution of one or several polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight varying from
1 x 106 to 13 x 106 are admixed with a mixture comprising lignocellulosic particles such as fines and fibres, and an aqueous medium, being understood that polyethylene oxide is admixed with said mixture when this latter already contains at least a part of said naphthalene sulphonate salt(s).
The invention also relates to the use of one or several naphthalene sulphonate salt(s), said salt(s) being under granulated form or advantageously as a condensed or diluted solution, and a solution of one or several polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight varying from 1 x 106 to 13 x 106, in admixture with a mixture comprising lignocellulosic particles, such as fines and fibres, and an aqueous medium, to improve a retention of said particles on a wire screen and a drainage of the aqueous medium.

Preferably, sodium naphthalene sulphonate should be applied preferably 30 seconds before the salt(s) get(s) in contact with the polyethylene oxide to thus give enough time to the salt to condition particles, such as fines and fibres. Preferably, in a pulp and paper plant, the admixture of naphthalene sulphonate salt(s) with a mixture of lignocellulosic fines and fibres and aqueous medium may be applied anywhere in the system and advantageously not between fan pumps and a head box. It could have been applied in the white water system (wire pit), mixing tank, in the preparation of clay system or any tank that could be in contact with fibre giving on the machine. Preferably in the mixed pulp tank. The polyethylene oxide solution may be applied preferably between the fan pump and the head box, but it is also possible to apply it before the fan pump and remain efficient, like between the mix tank and the fan pump.
Advantageously, one or several naphthalene sulphonate salt(s), said salt(s) being under granulated form or advantageously as a condensed or diluted solution, and a solution of one or several polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight varying from 1 x 106 to 13 x 106 are admixed with a mixture comprising lignocellulosic fines and fibres and an aqueous medium to define a pumpable pulp.
