Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for preparing readily dispersible water-soluble cellulose derivatives.
- Water soluble products such as cellulosic polymers
- they can be made generally dispersible by treating with a crosslinking agent, such as glyoxal or other aldehyde, in a process sometimes referred to as surface treatment.
- a crosslinking agent such as glyoxal or other aldehyde
- This process is usually carried out batch-wise in a ribbon blender or other such mixer, over a period of several hours for each batch.
- Such processes suffer from lack of uniformity of crosslinking of the polymer, which results in a requirement for more crosslinking of the polymer by adding additional crosslinking chemicals or more agitation when adding the polymers to water.
- the present invention is characte ⁇ zed in that dispersion time of cellulose products surface treated in a batch or continuous high intensity mixer, preferably a continuous high intensity mixer, is significantly shorter than values obtained for cellulose products surface treated in a ribbon blender or other low intensity process
- a batch or continuous high intensity mixer preferably a continuous high intensity mixer
- crosslinking of the surface of cellulose products with an aldehyde, such as glyoxal affects the rate at which such products are dispersed into finely divided particles in aqueous media instead of agglomeiating into lumps
- Typical processes such as those utilizing a batch process or a ribbon blender, can take many hours of mixing, and utilize higher levels of crosslinking chemicals, to produce a product with an acceptable dispersion time Samples of cellulose products treated in these processes were used as controls for dispersion time and viscosity delay time experiments.
- dispersion time means the length of time required for 9 g of polymer to completely disperse (i.e., no visible lumps remain) in 291 ml of a 100 ppm NaHC0 3 solution when stirred at 200-300 m with a paddle stirrer.
- Viscosity delay time is the time required for 400 ml of a 2 percent slurry of polymer in a 25-100 parts per million (ppm) NaHC0 3 solution to develop about 10 percent of its final solution viscosity.
- Factors which impact dispersibihty of cellulose products in cold water include the distribution of the crosslinking agent on the cellulose polymer, the total amount of crosslinking chemicals applied, and the degree of reaction of the glyoxal. The total amount of chemicals applied to the surface of the polymer as well as the degree of reaction of the glyoxal affect the viscosity delay time.
- a feature of the invention is that a high amount of energy is put into a small amount of product during the initial contact of the product with the treating chemicals. Such intense mixing at the moment the chemicals contact the product is critical to achieving the very uniform distribution of chemicals possible with this invention compared to other ways of mixing powders and liquids.
- a typical small scale vertical batch mixer may have, for example, a 2,984 watt (4 horsepower) motor, with an agitated volume of 2.83x10 " cubic meters (0.10 cubic feet).
- a typical batch size in this mixer would be 1.50 kilograms (3.3 lbs), so that the ratio of power to product is 1 ,989 watt/kilogram
- the motor power may bc, for example, 1 1 190 watts ( 15 horsepower), with an agitated volume of .0152 cubic meters (0 54 cu ft ), giving a hp/vol ratio of 7 36x 10 5 watts/cubic meter (28 hp/cu ft ) Since it is a continuous mixer, the product loading density is calculated from the flow rate and residence time In the case of the Turbulizer, the effective amount of product in the Turbulizer during the chemical addition is .286 kilograms ( 0 63 lb) This gives a power to product ratio of 1 5x10 watts/kilogram (44 4 hp/lb) In addition, the chemicals arc added directly to the mixing zone so that maximum distribution of chemicals is achieved Any equipment which meets the criteria of ( I ) high power
- the intensity of mixing is often quantified by the agitator tip speed given in units of meters/minute (ft/min)
- tip speeds ranged from 914 to 1 ,676 meters/minute (3,000 to about 5,500 ft/min)
- the tip speed of the low intensity ribbon blender is of the order of 91 4 to 122 meters/minute (300 to 400 ft/min).
- ratio of crosslinking agent to cellulosic polymer in the finished treated state ranged from 0.0025 to 005
- Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose with a methoxyl degree of substitution of 1.43 and hydroxypropoxyl molar substitution of 0.73 was fed into a heated Turbulizer brand continuous, high intensity mixer at a rate of 152 kilograms/hour (336 lbs/hour).
- a mixture of chemicals containing 36.0 percent glyoxal was fed into the liquid inlet port of the mixer at a rate such that the ratio of treating chemicals to cellulose powder was 0.030.
- Product from the mixer was fed into a torus disc dryer, (manufactured by Hosokawa Bepex Corporation) which turned at a rate of 60 rpm and was maintained at a temperature of 130°C such that the powder achieved a temperature of 10 i °- l 18°C for 15 minutes, which was the average residence time of the torus disc dryer.
- the product from the dryer was fed into a thermal screw, which cooled the product to ambient temperature over a period of about 10 minutes, which was the residence time of the thermal screw. Samples of the product were taken at approximately 15 minute intervals. The viscosity delay time and time to disperse were measured for each sample.
- the average time to disperse for samples made in the Turbulizer was 19 seconds, compared to an average time to disperse of 31 seconds for the same product made in a low intensity ribbon blender process, using approximately the same mixture and using 33 percent more chemicals.
- the average viscosity delay time for samples made in the Turbulizer was 39 minutes, compared to 52 minutes for the same product made in a ribbon blender.
- Example 2 In a second run, the same starting material as in Example 1 was fed into the continuous high intensity mixer, which was not heated in this instance, at a rate of
- a mixture of chemicals containing 24.6 percent glyoxal was fed into the liquid inlet port of the Turbulizer at a rate such that the ratio of treating chemicals to cellulose powder was 0.041.
- Product from the Turbulizer was fed into a torus disc dryer, which turned at a rate of 60 m and was maintained at a temperature of 1 15°C such that the powder achieved a temperature of 82°- 100°C for approximately 15 minutes which is the average residence time of the torus disc dryer.
- the product from the dryer was fed into a thermal screw, which cooled the product to ambient temperature over a period of about 10 minutes, which was the residence time of the thermal screw.
- Samples of the product were taken at 15 minute intervals and the viscosity delay time and the time to disperse was measured for each sample.
- the average time to disperse samples made in the high intensity mixer was 5 seconds, compared to an average time to disperse of 26 seconds for the same product made in a ribbon blender process, using the same mixture and amount of chemicals.
- the average viscosity delay time for samples made in the Turbulizer was 30 minutes, compared to 23 minutes for the same product made in the ribbon blender.
- Example 2 In a third run, the same starting material as used in Example 1 was fed into the continuous high intensity mixer, the jacket of which was heated at 85°C, at a rate of 136 kilograms/hour (300 lbs/hour). A mixture of chemicals containing 24.6 percent glyoxal was fed into the liquid inlet port of the mixer at a constant rate such that a weight ratio of chemicals to cellulosic polymer of 0.041 was achieved. The product from the Turbulizer was then fed into a low intensity ribbon blender heated to a temperature of 80°C for a period of 20 minutes, so that 45 kilograms ( 100 lbs) of starting material containing about 1.86 kilograms (4.1 lbs) of chemicals was transferred to the blender.
- the blender was heated to maintain a product temperature of from 65° to 80°C. After heating for an additional 10 minutes, the treated product was found to disperse in 20 seconds and had a viscosity delay time of 7 minutes. After an additional 30 minutes of blending time a sample dispersed in 15 sees and had a viscosity delay time of 12 minutes.
- a comparison run was made in the same ribbon blender, using the same product' by loading 45 kilograms (100 lbs) of the untreated cellulosic polymer product into the ribbon blender which was heated to a temperature of 80°C.
- the same amount of treating chemicals was sprayed onto the product through three spray nozzles, using a pressure of 3.38 mPa (200 psig) to force the chemicals through the nozzles over a 1 minute period.
- the polymer product was heated to a temperature of 65° to 80°C.
- a cellulosic polymer derivative with a hydroxypropyl substitution of about 27 percent was treated at 136 kilograms/hour (300 lb/hour) in the high intensity mixer with a 0 032 ratio of chemical mixture containing 36 percent glyoxal
- the mixed product was then transferred to a heated ribbon blender as in Example 3 above A sample from the blender was found to disperse in 35 seconds and had a viscosity delay time of 27 minutes
- the same cellulosic polymer derivative was tieated in the heated ribbon blender with the same level of the same chemicals After 1 hour of mixing and heating, a sample failed to disperse in 2 minutes and had a viscosity delay time of 7 minutes After 2 5 hours of mixing, a sample dispersed in 48 seconds and had a viscosity delay time of 27 minutes.
