Definitions
- This invention relates to cellulosic particles of the kind known as fibrids and to methods of making the same.
- Cellulosic fibrids can be made by mixing together under turbulent conditions a spinning solution of cellulose and a coagulating liquor.
- a spinning solution of cellulose and a coagulating liquor is viscose, which contains sodium cellulose xanthate.
- viscose which contains sodium cellulose xanthate.
- coagulating liquors for viscose include aqueous salt
- the fibrids so produced comprise, often predominantly, fine fibrous particles a few microns in diameter; of comparable size to the fibres in woodpulp. These fibrids may also comprise platelike or globular particles of similar size to those
- viscose 15 fibres and of more or less irregular shape.
- viscose is mixed with aqueous sodium chloride. If the sodium chloride concentration is too low, a solution is formed; if it is too high, a more or less coherent precipitated lump is
- fibrids are formed.
- the fibrids formed in the salt figure test contain residual xanthate groups. If such fibrids are acidified, or if an acidic coagulating liquor is used, then the xanthate groups are destroyed and cellulose is regenerated.
- Modified cellulose particles have been proposed as additives in papermaking, in particular to assist in formation of the paper web (sheet) and in sludge dewatering.
- sheet paper web
- sludge dewatering a series of papers in Das Textil (1980, vol. 34, pp.
- O-A-96/26220 discloses a process in which a cationic polyelectrolyte is added to diluted viscose and the resulting mixture is mixed with a coagulating and regenerating liquor such as dilute sulphuric acid to form
- polyelectrolytes include polydialkyldiallylammonium salts, in particular polydialkyldiallylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) ,
- the viscose may contain about 30 percent by weight of the polyelectrolyte on cellulose.
- a cationic cellulosic fibrid characterised in that it comprises from greater than 10 up to 50 percent by weight on cellulose of a polymeric amine of weight-average molecular weight in the range from 100,000 to 1,000,000 comprising monomeric units having the formula:
- R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of H, ⁇ , alkyl, phenyl, and phenyl substituted with one, two or three substituents selected from the group consisting of C ⁇ d alkyl, C ⁇ C, alkoxy, F, Cl and Br;
- R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, methyl and ethyl;
- m is an integer in the range from 1 to 4 ; and
- n is an integer in the range from 0 to 4.
- a method for the manufacture of cationic cellulosic fibrids including the steps of :
- the amine-containing dope contains from greater than 10 up to 50 percent by weight on cellulose of a polymeric amine of weight-average molecular weight in the range from 100,000 to 1,000,000 comprising monomeric units having the formula:
- X is selected from the group consisting of a chemical bond, O and NR 4 ;
- R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, phenyl, and phenyl substituted with one, two or three substituents selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, F, Cl and Br;
- R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, methyl and ethyl;
- m is an integer in the range from 1 to 4; and
- n is an integer in the range from 0 to 4.
- the weight-average molecular weight of the polymeric amine is preferably in the range from 200,000 to 500,000.
- the polymeric amine is preferably a poly (vinylamine) , for example a partially-hydrolysed poly (N-vinylformamide) as disclosed by F Linhart and W Auhorn (Das Textil, 1992, vol. 46(10A), pp. V38-V45) .
- EP-A-0 , 692 , 599 discloses the manufacture of cellulosic fibres which contain polymeric amines, in particular by the viscose process.
- the polymeric amines of EP-A-0, 692, 599 comprise an aliphatic backbone with pendent amine groups as specified for use in the present invention, and they are of molecular weight above 1000.
- the amount of polymeric amine disclosed in EP-A-0, 692, 599 may be 5 in the range from 0.1 to 10, preferably from 0.3 to 3, percent by weight on the cellulose in the spinning solution (e.g. viscose).
- the fibres of EP-A-0, 692, 599 exhibit improved dyeability and increased wet and dry tenacities.
- the coagulating and regenerating liquor may be any of those known for viscose processes, particularly aqueous acid. Conveniently, it is dilute aqueous sulphuric acid,
- the liquor may contain conventional amounts of sodium sulphate (a byproduct of the process) , for example up to 25 percent by weight. This is advantageous, because the liquor can accordingly be recovered for reintroduction into the process using conventional measures such as evaporation and crystallisation.
- the liquor does not need to contain, and preferably contains little or no, auxiliary coagulating substances such as the zinc sulphate used in many processes for the manufacture of conventional viscose fibres.
- the presence of such substances in the fibrids produced by the method of the invention may be undesirable in some end-uses, for environmental and/or technical reasons.
- the liquor may contain conventional surface-active agents as employed in other viscose processes.
- the temperature of the coagulating and regenerating liquor is preferably in the range from 60 to 100°C, more preferably in the range from 80 to 95°C.
- Use of high temperatures makes for rapid coagulation and regeneration and assists removal of byproduct carbon disulphide and hydrogen sulphide by degassing.
- Degassing may be assisted by injecting steam into the slurry resulting from mixing step (b) .
- Such sulphur-containing byproducts may be collected or disposed of in conventional manner.
- the mixing step (b) is conveniently carried out by injecting both the amine-containing dope and the coagulating and regenerating liquor into a high-shear mixing chamber, for example a Y-shaped chamber, or mixing head, although any method of mixing which generates sufficient turbulence and shear to produce the desired fibrids may be employed.
- a high-shear mixing chamber for example a Y-shaped chamber, or mixing head, although any method of mixing which generates sufficient turbulence and shear to produce the desired fibrids may be employed.
- the method of the invention may be carried out batchwise or continuously.
- the collection step may be performed using conventional methods such as settling, filtration or centrifugation.
- the spent liquor is preferably recovered by conventional methods such as evaporation and crystallisation for reuse as coagulating and regenerating liquor.
- Cationic activity of fibrids can be assessed by adding excess of an aqueous solution of an anionic water-soluble polymer followed by back-titrating with an aqueous solution of a cationic water-soluble polymer.
- the strength of the reagent solutions is conveniently about 1 millinormal.
- the cationic activity of the fibrids of the invention may be in the range from 500 to 5000, often 1000 to 5000, milliequivalents per kg.
- the fibrids of the invention may be used in the manufacture of paper and board, including fine and speciality papers.
- the fibrids of the invention are useful as additives in papermaking, particularly to assist with web
- Viscose was mixed with water and aqueous solutions of various polymeric amines to give diluted viscoses containing 2-4% cellulose and known amounts of amine. These diluted viscoses were mixed with aqueous sulphuric acid (2.7%) under turbulent conditions to produce a slurry containing cationic cellulose fibrids (0.5-1%). In some experiments, the temperature of the acid was 80°C, to assist degassing; in other experiments, mixing was carried out at ambient temperature and the resulting fibrid slurry heated to 80°C to allow degassing to occur. Fibrids were collected from the slurry by filtration, washed and analysed for nitrogen content by the Kjeldahl method. The efficiency of incorporation of the polymeric amine into the fibrids was calculated from the analytical and theoretical values for nitrogen content . The results shown in Table 1 were obtained: -
