The technical FIELD

The present invention relates to aqueous polymer dispersions and their preparation and use and method of manufacture of paper, in which the dispersion is used as an additive.

The LEVEL of TECHNOLOGY

Aqueous dispersions of anionic polymers are widely used in industry, for example, as flocculants, in particular, as dewatering and retention of additives in the manufacture of paper and water treatment. In General, these dispersions contain water-soluble anionic dispersion polymer dispersed in an aqueous continuous phase, which may contain one or more water-soluble salts and one or more stabilizers. The variance in General get in the dispersion polymerization in which the monomers and the initiator are soluble in the polymerization medium, but water containing large amounts of soluble salts, is a poor solvent for the resulting polymer. The reaction mixture initially is homogeneous, and initiate polymerization in homogeneous solution. At an early stage of the polymerization method is phase separation, forming colloidal polymeric particles, which are stabilized in the result of the adsorption is carried stabilizer.

In the document WO2001/18063 describes a method of increasing retention and dewatering in the manufacture of paper using a high molecular weight water-soluble anionic or nonionic dispersion polymers. The dispersion polymer is obtained using from about 2 to about 40% of the mass. soluble salts in the calculation of the total mass of the dispersion.

In document WO 2006/123993 describes a method of obtaining a polymer dispersions and polymer dispersion obtained by the method, which is suitable for use as a retention and dewatering additives in the manufacture of paper. The polymer dispersion obtained using anionic polymeric stabilizer and an anionic polymer joint stabilizer relatively low molecular weight. The polymeric stabilizer and joint stabilizer makes it possible to use from 0 to approximately 1.9% of the mass. inorganic salts. Preferably the dispersion is essentially free of salts.

In the General case of aqueous dispersions of anionic polymer can be easily obtained and are effective as a retention and dewatering additives in the manufacture of paper. However, there is still scope for improvement. For example, as practical experience shows, upon receipt of the dispersion polymers in the presence of water-soluble salts to ensure efficient and stable polymeric particles typically require large amounts of water-soluble salts, which are the two which is undesirable from an economic and environmental points of view. Also according to the observations is possible and excessively high viscosity of the reaction medium and the resulting dispersion, which is undesirable from the point of view of production and processing. Also according to the observations is usually difficult to obtain a dispersion, which is characterized by a high content of the dispersion polymer, which is undesirable from the standpoint of transportation. In addition, if we talk about polymer dispersions containing more than one anionic stabilizer, and, in particular, low molecular weight anionic joint stabilizers, as is known, low-molecular anionic materials to increase demand for pulp suspensions in the cations in the manufacture of paper, and, as practical experience shows, low molecular weight anionic materials may interfere with the implementation of the operational characteristics of cationic additives used in the method of manufacture of paper, and have adverse effects on their implementation.

It would be advantageous to have the possibility of offering water anionic polymer dispersion and method of reception that requires low amount of soluble salts in order to achieve efficient and stable polymeric particles. It would also be advantageous to have the possibility of offering water is Oh anionic polymer dispersion and method of reception, which would be characterized by low viscosity and avoided or reduced if the peak viscosity during polymerization method. It would also be advantageous to have the possibility of offering water anionic polymer dispersion and method of reception, which makes it possible for elevated levels of dispersion of the polymer. It would also be advantageous to have the possibility of offering water anionic polymer dispersion and method of reception, which can be implemented without resorting to the use of low molecular weight anionic joint stabilizers. It would also be advantageous to have a method of making paper, which includes the use of aqueous anionic polymer dispersion, demonstrating superior performance characteristics dewatering and retention.

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to obtain aqueous polymer dispersions, the relevant technical regulations, the relevant prior art and the present invention.

The polymer dispersion was obtained in accordance with the following further General method:

In a double-walled glass reactor HWS volume of 150 ml, equipped with a reflux condenser, an inlet for nitrogen and anchor stirrer, was added 53 g of deionized water, 0.04 g of sodium formiate, 0.03 g EDTU, x g of sodium sulfate, grams of ammonium sulfate, 1.2 g of a copolymer of acrylic acid/2-acrylamide-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid with the composition of 80/20 (mol./mol.) and anionic monomer (partial (25% or 50%) or fully (100%) neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 50 wt. -%). From the dropping funnel was added an aqueous solution of acrylamide with a concentration of 50 wt%. and optionally a second non-ionic monomer.

After closing the reactor through the mixture for 30 min blowing in nitrogen when the stirring speed 150 rpm, and then the mixture was heated to 55°C. the Polymerization was initiated in the stepwise addition of 0.5 g (500 μl) of an aqueous solution of polymerization initiator VA-044 with what concentratie 2% of the mass. Stepwise addition of a solution of VA-044 was carried out as follows: 30 μl at time 0 h, 30 µl after 1 h, 30 µl after 2 h, 120 ál after 4 h and, in conclusion, 290 ál after 5 hours after 6 h the reaction mixture was cooled and analyzed.

The resulting polymer dispersion is shown in table 1, which also demonstrates the degree of neutralization of the anionic monomer (N=25%), (N=50%) or (N=100%). The aqueous polymer dispersion No. 1 to 7 represent the polymer dispersions of the prior art, and an aqueous polymer dispersion No. 8 to 10 represent polymer dispersion corresponding to the invention.

As should be pretty obvious from table 1, when the same degree of neutralization of the anionic monomer for stable deposition of polymer products, soo the relevant prior art, it would take more salt (sodium sulphate and ammonium) in comparison with what took place for the polymer products of the invention. In addition, it is obvious that in the absence of a second nonionic monomer used in accordance with the present invention, the salt concentration in the dispersions of the prior art were insufficient for stable deposition of polymer products. In addition, as shown in table 1, the present invention provides a polymer dispersion, characterized by elevated levels of polymer and low levels of salt content.

The volume of the fibrous mass of 800 ml was obezvozhivani on the grid when you remove the plugs and creating a vacuum on the other side of the grid, which is the opposite side, which is the fibrous mass. Ek is operating characteristics dehydration is shown in expression over the time of dehydration (s).

Used pulp suspension or fibrous mass consisted of 50% cellulose fibers (60% bleached birch and 40% sulfate bleached pine) and 50% pre-dispersed suspension of ground calcium carbonate Hydrocarb 60. To increase the conductivity of the fibrous mass was added CaCl2. The pH value of the pulp was 7.4, conductivity were 5.0 MS/cm, and the consistency was 5.9 g/l

In the test trials were subjected to anionic polymer dispersion in combination with cationic starch (RV). Add was calculated from the amount of dry additives in a dry load. Adding conducted in accordance with the following further General sequence:
