Definitions
- the present invention relates to sizing of paper and more specifically to dispersions of cellulose-reactive sizing agents, their preparation and use.
- Paper sizes based on cellulose-reactive sizing agents are generally provided in the form of dispersions containing an aqueous phase and finely divided particles or droplets of the sizing agent dispersed therein.
- the dispersions are usually prepared with the aid of a dispersant system consisting of an anionic compound, e.g. sodium lignosulfonate, in combination with a high molecular weight amphoteric or cationic polymer, e.g.
- cationic starch polyamine, polyamideamine or a vinyl addition polymer.
- the size dispersions will be cationic or anionic in nature.
- dispersions of these types usually exhibit rather poor stability and high viscosity, even at relatively low solids contents, which evidently lead to difficulties in handling the dispersions, for example on storage and in use.
- a further drawback is that the products have to be supplied as low concentration dispersions which further increases the costs of transportation of the active sizing agent.
- Cellulose-reactive sizing agents generally provide good sizing with low dosages of the sizing agent.
- the Invention in accordance with the present invention it has been found that improved stability and sizing characteristics can be obtained with aqueous dispersions of cellulose- reactive sizing agents in which the sizing agent is dispersed in the aqueous phase by means of a dispersant system comprising a low molecular weight cationic compound and an anionic stabilizer.
- the size dispersions of this invention exhibit excellent stability and low viscosity and they are particularly useful with papermaking stocks having a high cationic demand and/or containing high levels of lipophilic substances. It has also been found that improved sizing can be obtained by using such dispersions in papermaking processes where white water is extensively recirculated.
- the present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion containing a cellulose-reactive sizing agent and a dispersant system comprising a low molecular weight cationic organic compound and an anionic stabilizer, its preparation and use, as further defined in the claims.
- the present size dispersions makes it possible to produce paper with improved sizing over conventional size dispersions at a corresponding dosage of cellulose-reactive sizing agent and to use a lower dosage of cellulose-reactive sizing agent to attain a corresponding level of sizing.
- the possibility of using lower amounts of sizing agent to attain in-specification sizing reduces the risk of accumulation of non-adsorbed sizing agents in the white water recirculating in the process, thereby reducing the risk of aggregation and deposition of the sizing agent on the paper machine.

- dispersions such as, for example, anionic and non-ionic dispersing agents and stabilizers, extenders, e.g. urea and urea derivatives, and preservative agents.
- the negative and positive charges of the compounds of the dispersant system can be formed in situ, for example by contacting the compounds with one another and/or by mixing the compounds with an aqueous phase and/or by lowering pH of the aqueous phase.

It is preferred that the components are homogeneously mixed in stage (i).
- the sizing agent used in stage (i) may be solid although it is preferred that it is liquid in order to simplify homogeneous mixing.
- the intermediate composition can be removed after the mixing stage (i), and optionally be cooled for solidification, to form a substantially water-free intermediate size composition which enables simplified shipping in an economically attractive manner.
- the size composition can be homogenized in the presence of water in conventional manner. This method is especially attractive when preparing dispersions of ketene dimers and acid anhydrides, the latter of which are usually prepared in the paper mill in direct connection to its use as a sizing agent in the production of paper.

- the amount of cellulose-reactive sizing agent either added to the stock containing cellulosic fibres, and optional fillers, to be drained on a wire to form paper, or applied on the paper surface as a surface size, usually at the size press is from 0.01 to 1.0% by weight, based on the dry weight of cellulosic fibres and optional fillers, preferably from 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, where the dosage is mainly dependent on the quality of the pulp or paper to be sized, the cellulose- reactive sizing agent used and the level of sizing desired.
- the dispersions of this invention are particularly useful in stock sizing of pulp having a high cationic demand and/or containing substantial amounts of lipophiiic substances, for example stocks prepared from wood- containing and recycled pulps, for example where recirculation of white water is extensive.
- lipophiiic substances commonly found in paper pulp include anionic and non- ionic lipophilic substances, such as, for example, resin acids, fatty acids, fatty esters, triglyc ⁇ rides, etc.
- the amount of lipophilic substances may be at least 10 ppm and up to about 100 ppm, usually at least 20 ppm, suitably at least 30 ppm and preferably at least 50 ppm, measured as ppm DCM by means of extraction using DCM (dichloromethane) in known manner.
- the cationic demand can be at least 50, suitably at least 100 and preferably at least 150 ⁇ eq/iitre stock filtrate.
- the cationic demand can be measured in conventional manner, for example by means of a M ⁇ tek Particle Charge Detector using a'stock filtrate obtained from a raw stock filtered through a 1.6 ⁇ m filter and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) as a titrant.
- the present dispersions are preferably used in papermaking processes where white water is extensively recirculated, i.e. with a high degree of white water closure, for example where from 0 to 30 tons of fresh water are used per ton of dry paper produced, usually less than 20, suitably less than 15, preferably less than 10 and notably less than 5 tons of fresh water per ton of paper.
- Recirculation of white water in the process preferably takes place by mixing the white water with cellulosic fibres, preferably in the form of a stock or suspension, before or after the addition of the sizing dispersion, e.g. to form the stock to be dewatered.
- Fresh water can be introduced in the process at any stage; for example, it can be mixed with cellulosic fibres in order to form the stock, and it can be mixed with a stock containing cellulosic fibres to dilute it so as to form the stock to be dewatered, before or after mixing the stock with white water and before or after the addition of the sizing dispersion.
- Chemicals conventionally added to the stock in papermaking such as retention aids, aluminium compounds, dyes, wet-strength resins, optical brightening agents, etc., can of course be used in conjunction with the present dispersions.
- aluminium compounds include alum, aluminates and polyaluminium compounds, e.g. polyaluminium chlorides and sulphates.
- suitable retention aids include cationic polymers, anionic inorganic materials in combination with organic polymers, e.g. bentonite in combination with cationic polymers, siiica-based sols in combination with cationic polymers or cationic and anionic polymers.
- Suitable cationic polymers include cationic starch, guar gum, acrylate-based and acrylamide- based polymers, polyethyleneimine, dicyandiamide-formaldehyde resins, polyamines, polyamidoamines and poly(diallyidimethyl ammoniumchloride) and combinations thereof.
- Cationic starch and cationic acrylamide-based polymers are preferably used, either alone or in combination with each other or with other materials.
- the dispersions are used in combination with a retention system comprising at least one cationic polymer and anionic silica-based particles.
- the present dispersions can be added before, between, after or simultaneously with the addition of the cationic polymer or polymers. It is also possible to pre-mix the size dispersion with a retention aid, e.g. a cationic polymer like cationic starch or a cationic acrylamide-based polymer, or an anionic siiica- based material, prior to introducing the mixture thus obtained into the stock.
- the dispersion can be prepared just prior to introducing it into the stock by bringing into contact a size dispersion containing the cationic compound, preferably a cationic surfactant, with an anionic siiica-based material, for example as defined above.
- the cationic compound preferably a cationic surfactant
- an anionic siiica-based material for example as defined above.
- Example 1 Anionic alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersions according to the invention were prepared by mixing di(hydrogenated tallow) dimethylammonium chloride, which is a cationic surfactant commercially available under the trade name Querton 442, Akzo Nobel, with molten AKD at 70°C, passing the mixture through a homogenizer in the presence of an aqueous solution of an anionic stabilizer and then cooling the dispersion so obtained. The pH of the dispersion was adjusted to about 5 by addition of acid.
- di(hydrogenated tallow) dimethylammonium chloride which is a cationic surfactant commercially available under the trade name Querton 442, Akzo Nobel
- the anionic stabilizer used in this Example was an anionic fatty amide-modified carboxymethyl cellulose (FACMC) containing a hydrophobic substituent derived from N-hydrogenated tallow-1 ,3-diaminopropan prepared according to the disclosure of WO 94/24169.
- the FACMC had a degree of carboxylic substitution of 0.6 and a degree of hydrophobic substitution of 0. .
- the dispersions contained AKD particles with an average particle size of about 1 ⁇ m which were anionically charged, as shown by a negative zeta potential determined by means of a ZetaMaster S Version PCS. The AKD content of the dispersions were 30%. Dispersion No.
- Dispersion No. 1 contained 3% of cationic surfactant and 1% of anionic stabilizer, both based on the weight of AKD.
- Dispersion No. 2 contained 7% of cationic surfactant and 1% of anionic stabilizer, both based on the weight of AKD.
- Example 2 The general procedure of Example 1 was repeated except that a condensated sodium naphthalenesulphonate commercially availably under the trade name OrotanTM SN, Rohm & Haas Company, was used as the anionic stabilizer and different proportions of the compounds of the dispersion was employed.
- Dispersion No. 3 obtained in this Example had an AKD content of 30% and contained 6% of anionic stabilizer and 4% of cationic surfactant, both based on the weight of AKD.
- the dispersion contained AKD particles with an average particle size of about 1 ⁇ m which were anionically charged, determined as above.
- Example 3 Stability of the anionic dispersions according to Examples 1 and 2 was tested as follows: The dispersion was diluted with water to give a dispersion containing 40 ppm of AKD. In some of the tests 10 ppm of stearic acid was added in order to raise the content of lipophilic substances and the cationic demand. The dilute dispersion was placed in a jar equipped with a device for turbidity measurements, a loop, circulation means and heating and cooling means. A set volume of the dilute dispersion was circulated in the loop while automatically recording the turbidity and subjecting the dispersion to a heating and cooling cycle for a set time period of 45 minutes.
- the temperature of the u spersion was raised from 20°C to 62°C and then lowered again to 20°C.
- Turbidity is affected by particle size and the difference in turbidity of the dispersion before and after a temperature cycle is a measure of the ability of the dispersed particles to withstand growth by agglomeration and thus a measure of the stability of the dispersion.
- AKD 1 is an anionic AKD dispersion containing a dispersant system comprising sodium ligno- sulphonate and cationic starch where the lignosulphonate is present in ionic excess;
- Ref. 2 is a cationic AKD dispersion also containing sodium lignosulphonate and cationic starch but where the cationic starch is present in ionic excess. Table 1 gives the results obtained. Table 1

- the papermaking stock used contained 80% of 60:40 bleached birch/pine sulphate and 20% of chalk to which 0.3 g/l of Na 2 SO 4 "10H 2 O was added.
- Stock consistency was 0.5% and pH 8.0.
- the size dispersions were used in conjunction with a commercial retention and dewatering system, CompozilTM, comprising cationic starch and an anionic aluminium-modified silica sol which were added to the stock separately; the cationic starch was added in an amount of 8 kg/ton, based on dry stock, and the silica sol was added in an amount of 0.8 kg/ton, calculated as Si0 2 and based on dry stock

- Table 2 demonstrates the improvement in paper sizing obtained with the size dispersion according to the invention.
- Dispersion No. 1 according to the invention generally gave much better sizing than the dispersion Ref. 1 used for comparison, and considerably improved sizing effect was obtained when the stock contained a substantial amount of lipophilic substances.
- Example 6 A water-free size composition according to the invention was prepared by dry mixing 93 parts of AKD pellets with 3 parts of cationic surfactant according to Example 1 and 4 parts of anionic stabilizer according to Example 2. This dry mixture was later added to hot water and the aqueous mixture so obtained was heated to 80°C, pumped through a high shear pump and then cooled to room temperature. The resulting anionic dispersion, Dispersion No. 4, had an AKD content of 20% and an average particle size of about 1 ⁇ m. Sizing efficiency was evaluated as in Example 4, except that the cationic starch addition amounted to 12 kg/ton, based on dry stock. The results are given in Table 4. Table 4
- Table 4 demonstrates the improvement in paper sizing obtained with the size dispersion according to the invention.
- Example 7 An AKD dispersion according to the invention having a dispersant system comprising a cationic surfactant and an anionic stabilizer in the form of an inorganic microparticulate material was evaluated in this test series.
- the dispersion was prepared by pre-blending at 75°C 0.2 g of cocoamine commercially availably under the trade name Armeen CTM, which is a mixture of amines of the formula RNH 2 wherein R is C 12 -C 18 hydrocarbons, and 1.0 g, calculated as Si0 2 , of an aqueous sol of aiuminium-modified silica of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,368,833, and then adding 25 g of AKD and acid to adjust pH to 4.0.
- the aqueous mixture was homogenized using an Ultra Turrax and then cooled.
- the dispersion obtained, Dispersion No. 5, had an AKD content of 25% by weight and contained a dispersant system which was anionic in nature.
- An AKD dispersion according to the invention was prepared and evaluated in a similar manner to Example 7 except that the anionic stabilizer used in this Example was a meiamine-suifonic acid sol, prepared in accordance with the teachings of Int. Pat. Appl. Publ. No. WO 96/34027. Dispersion No. 6 was prepared from 0.4 g of cocoamine, 2 g of meiamine-suifonic acid, 30 g of AKD and water up to 100 g. The results of the sizing tests are shown in Table 6 where the dosage of AKD is based on dry stock.
- Dispersions of the invention were prepared by homogenising a mixture of 0.8% by weight of di(hydrogenated tallow)dimethylammonium chloride, 1.6% by weight of condensated sodium naphthalene- sulphonate, 77.6% by weight of water and 20% by weight of AKD for a set time using an Ultra Turrax mixer at 15.000 rpm and then cooling the dispersion so obtained for 2 hours. Similar dispersions were prepared in the same manner at different AKD contents in order to provide dispersions with AKD contents of 10, 20, 30 and 40% by weigfit. The dispersions are denoted Inv. followed by the AKD content in % by weight.
- Standard AKD dispersions were manufactured for comparison purposes in the same manner and under the same conditions by homogenising a mixture of 1.0% by weight of cationic starch, 0.25% by weight of sodium lignosulfonate, 89% by weight of water and 10% by weight of AKD. Similar dispersions were prepared at different AKD contents in order to provide standard dispersions with AKD contents of 10, 20, 30 and 40% by weight. The dispersions are denoted Ref. 3 followed by the AKD content in % by weight.
- Table 3 demonstrates that the dispersions according to the invention were easier to manufacture; a lower viscosity was obtained at corresponding AKD contents and a smaller particle size was obtained using the same amount of energy to set surfaces free. Compared to the standard dispersion, less energy and lower shear forces are thus required according to this invention in order to manufacture dispersions with equal particle size. In addition, an increase in stirrer speed to 25.000 rpm considerably reduced the particle size of the dispersions according to the invention to be within the range of from 1 to 2 ⁇ m.
