Definitions

  • This invention relates to enhanced dry strength in paper using a process of treating a pulp slurry with a combination of a vinylamine-containing polymer and an amphoteric acrylamide-containing polymer.
  • the papermaking industry is constantly seeking new synthetic additives to improve the dry strength of paper products. Improved dry strength can give a higher performance product, but also may allow the papermaker to use less cellulosic fiber to achieve a particular performance target. Furthermore, the increased usage of recycled fiber results in a weaker sheet, forcing the papermaker to either increase basis weight of the sheet or employ synthetic strength additives.
  • the options that are known have various economic and technical limitations. For instance, according to US Patent No. 6,939,443 , the use of combinations of polymide-epichlorohydrin (PAE) resins with anionic polyacrylamide additives with specific charge densities and molecular weights can enhance the dry strength of a paper product. However, these combinations also may elevate the wet strength of the resultant paper to the point- that repulping broke paper is extremely difficult and inefficient.
  • PAE polymide-epichlorohydrin
  • Polymers of acrylamide or copolymers incorporating acrylamide and a monomer such as diallyldimethylammonium chloride, when treated with a dialdehyde compound such as glyoxal, are widely known to result in resins that can also enhance the dry strength of paper significantly, yet have very limited pemanent wet strenght properties, allowing the paper maker to easily repulp broke paper.
  • these resins also have their limitations. These additives either have a very short shelf-life due to viscosity instability, or are shipped at very low active solids content.
  • the performance of such dialdehyde-modified acrylamide-containing polymers tends to reach a plateau, making a high-performance product difficult to manufacture.
  • Polyvinylamine resins have become popular in the papermaking industry not only because they endow a sheet with increased dry strength, but also because of their easy handling and application as well as the increased retention and drainage they afford the paper machine. However, when added in ever increasing amounts, they have the negative effect of overflocculating the sheet because of the heavy cationic charge these resins carry. Overflocculation results in a poorly formed, weaker finished product.
  • Combining vinylamine-containing polymers with acrylamide-containing polymers may be both the simplest and most effective means for producing a high performance paper product while maintaining paper machine productivity and repulping broke paper.
  • examples from the prior art that may include these polymers have significant drawbacks. For instance, previous examples may require special metering apparatuses, additional steps for treating starch prior to addition to the pulp slurry, or high molar mass polymers that may result in overflocculation of the pulp slurry when added in sufficient amounts to affect dry strength.
  • This combination is most effective when the active polymer solids content of the acrylamide-containing aqueous solution polymer ranges from 5% to 50% by weight, and the content of the sum of the cationic and anionic monomers in the acry lamide-cotaining polymer ranges from 5% to 50% on a molar basis of the total monomer content, and the molecular weight of the acrylamide-containing polymer ranges from 75,000. daltons to 1,500,000 daltons.
  • the vinylamine-containing polymer is most effective when it contains at least 50% on a molar basis of N -vinylfomamide monomer, at least 10% of which has been hydrolyzed in the final product and has a molecular weight in the range of from 75,000 daltons to 750,000 daltons.
  • the aqueous solution containing the vinylamine-containing polymer has a total polymer solids content of from 5% to 30% by weight,.
  • the invention is a process for the production of paper board, and cardboard with enhanced dry strength comprising adding to the wet end of a paper machine (a) a vinylamine-containing aqueous solution polymer having a molecular weight of from 75,000 daltons to 750,000 daltons and (b) an amphoteric acrylamide-containing aqueous solution polymer having a molecular weight of from 75,000 daltons to 1,500,000 daltons, where the sum of the anionic and cationic monomers incorporated into the acrylamide-containing polymer comprises from 5% to 50% on a molar basis of all the monomers incorporated into the acrylamide-containing polymer, wherein the aqueous solution polymer is a polymer that forms a fully homogeneous solution in water when diluted to 1% on a dry solids basis.
  • the vinylamine-containing polymer has an N -vinylformamide content of at least 50% on a molar basis of the total monomer charged, at least 10% of which has been hydrolyzed in the final polymer, and an active polymer content of from 5% to 30% on a weight basis.
  • the acrylamide-cotaining aqueous solution polymer contains a sum cationic and/or amphoteric monomer charge of from 5% to 50% on a molar basis, and has an active polymer content of from 5% to 50% on a weight basis.
  • the acrylamide-containing aqueous solution polymer is of an aqueous dispersion polymer.
  • the acrylamide-containing aqueous solution polymer contains a cationic monomer charge of from 5% to 50% on a molar basis, has an active polymer content of from 5% to 50% on a weight basis, and comprises a least one cationic monomer selected from the group consisting of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, 2-(diethylaminoethyl) acrylate, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, 3-(dimethylamino)propyl acrylate, 3-(dimethylamino)propylmethacrylate, 3-(diethylamino)propyl acrylate, 3-(diethylamino)propyl methacrylate, N -[3-(dimethylamine)propyl]acrylamide, N -[3
  • DADMAC dial
  • the vinylamide-containing polymer and the acrylamide-containing polymer are a single product blend and the cationic portion of the amphoteric acrylamide-containing polymer is generated by least one monomer selected from the group consisting of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), N -[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]acrylamide, N -[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide, N -[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]acrylamide, N- [3-(diethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide, 3-(acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride, and 3-(methacrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium chloride;
  • DADMAC diallyldimethylammonium chloride
  • procoss vinylamine-containing polymer and the acrylamide-containing polymer are added to the wet and of a paper machine in a ratio of vinylamine-containing polymer to acrylamide-containing polymer of from 10;1 to 1:50 up to a sum total of 1.25% on a weight basis of the dry pulp, based on the actve polymer solids of the polymeric products.
  • vinylamine-containing polymers is understood to mean homopolymers of vinylamine (e.g., polyvinylamine or fully hydrolyzed polyvinylformamide), copolymers of vinylamine with other comonomers, partially hydrolyzes polyvinylformalide, partially hydrolyzed vinylformamide copolymers, vinylamine terpolymers, vinylamine homo and copolymers manufactured by the Hofmann modification of acrylamide polymers, or vinylamine containing polymers that are chemically modified after polymerization. Examples may include those described in US Patent Publication number 2009/0043051 or number 2008/0196851 .
  • acrylamide-containing polymers refers to the amphoteric acrylamide-containing aqueous solution polymer.
  • aqueous solution polymer refers to a polymer that forms a fully homogenous solution in water when diluted to 1% on a dry solids basis, in the absence of any cosolvent.
  • an aqueous solution polymer does not include oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions.
  • aqueous solution polymers may include aqueous dispersion polymers, such as are described in US Patents 5,541,252 and 7,323,510 as well as US Patent Publications number 2002/198317 and number 2008/0033094 .
  • the invention is based in the discovery that the performance of a paper machine and the paper products derived thereby can be greatly enhanced by the treatement of the pulp slurry with a vinylamine-containing polymer in combination with an acrylamide-containing polymer with particular molecular weight and charge attributes as described below.
  • Use of a vinylamide-containing polymer alone provides both strength and drainage performance in the papermaking system; however, when added in ever-increasing amounts, the performance of the paper product first levels off, and the deteriorates, largely due to overfloccualation of the forming paper web.
  • the vinylamine-containing polymer is most effective when its molecular weight is from 75,000 daltons to 750,000 daltons, more preferably of from 100,000 daltons to 600,000 daltons, most preferably of from 150,000 daltons to 500,000 daltons.
  • the molecular weight can be from 150,000 daltons to 400,000 daltons. Below the molecular weight threshold of 75,000 daltons, little to no strength performance is observed, and substantial drainage performance enhancement is not observed
  • the vinylamine-containing polymer is not cooked with starch prior to addition to the pulp slurry.
  • a vinylamine-containing polymer above the molecular weight of 750,000 daltons will generally negatively affect formation at dosages required for dry strength enhancement because of the tendency to overflocculate the sheet, resulting in lower strength.
  • An aqueous solution vinylamine-containing polymer above 750,000 daltons either is typically made at such high viscosities as to render product handling extremely difficult, or alternatively is made in such low product polymer solids as to render the product not cost effective
  • the active polymer solids percentage of the vinylamine-containing polymer ranges of from 5% to 30%, more preferably from 8% to 20% by weight of the total vinylamine-containing polymer product content. Below 5% active polymer solids, higher molecular weight aqueous solution polymers may be possible, but the product becomes ineffective with respect when shipping and transportation costs are accounted for. On the other hand, as the active polymer solids rises, the molecular weight of the polymer must decrease overall so that the aqueous solution is still easily pumpable. Thus, a practical relationship can be drawn between the total polymer solids of the vinylamine-containing polymer product and the molecular weight of such a polymer, and a correlation can be drawn between these parameters and polymer performance.
  • the performance of the vinylamine-containing polymer is influenced by the amount of primary amine present in the product.
  • the vinylamine moiety is typically generated by acidic or basic hydrolysis of N -vinylacylamide groups, such as N- vinylformamide, N -vinylacetamide, or N -vinyl propionamide, most preferably N- vinylformamide.
  • the vinylamine-containing polymer is most effective in enhancing the dry strength of a paper product and/or the drainage performance of a papermaking system when the amount of N -vinylformamide is at least 50% on a molar basis of the hydrolyzed polymer. After hydrolysis, at least 10% of the N -vinylformamide originally incorporated into the resultant polymer should be hydrolyzed.
  • the hydrolyzed N -vinylformamide group may exist in various structures in the final polymer product such as primary on substituted amine, amidine, guanidine, or amide structures, either in open chain or cyclical forms after hydrolysis.
  • the acrylamide-containing polymer is most effective when it contains a substantial amount of a positively charged comonomer(s)
  • the positively charged monomer allows the acrylamide-containingto adhere to the cellulose fibers due to a charge-charge crizeraction with negatively charged substances in the pulp slurry, iucluding, but not limited to: pulp fibers, hemicellulose, oxidized starch commonly found in recycled cellulose furnish, anionic strength aids such as carboxymethylcellulose, and anionic trash.
  • the incorporation of cationic groups into the acrylamide-containing polymer is generally not detrimental to the drainage performance of the papermaking system.
  • the hydrogen-bonding components of the acrylamide-containing polymer such as amide groups, are effective in enhancing the dry strength of the paper product.
  • Suitable comonomers used to impart cationic charge to the polymer include, but are not limited to, diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC), 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, 2-(diethylaminoethyl) acrylate, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, 3-(dimethyliunino)propyl acrylate, 3-(dimethylamino)propyl mothacrylate, 3-(diethylamino)propyl acrylate,3-(diethylamino)propyl methacrylate, N -[3-(dimethylamino)acrylamide, N -[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide, N -[3-(diethylamino)propyl]acrylamide, N -[3-(dimethylamino)
  • the amount of the cationic monomer plus the amount of an anionic monomer described below may be from 5% to 50%, more preferably from 15% to 40%, on a molar basis of all the monomers incorporated into the acrylamide-containing polymer.
  • the acrylamide-containing polymer may be cross-linked with an agent such as methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) provided the molecular weight and charge guidelines are met as described herein.
  • incorporation of an anionic comonomer into the acrylamide-containing polymer along with the cationic comonomer, forming an amphoteric acrylamide-containing polymer, is also effective in enhancing the dry strength of a paper product made thereby.
  • the anionic comonomer allows the amphoteric polymer to form a coacervate complex with a wide variety of substances found in a recycled pulp slurry, including, but not limited to: a vinylamine-containing polymer, a cationically charged flocculant or coagulant, cationic or amphoteric starch, polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin wet strength aids, or another amphoteric acrylamide-containing polymer.
  • the combination of cationic and anionic monomers in the acrylamide-containing polymer either enhances or does not negatively affect the drainage performance of a papermaking system when compared to an acrylamide-containing polymer using only an anionic comonomer.
  • Suitable anionic comonomers include, but are not limited to, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, itaconic anhydride, maleic anhydride, maleic acid, styrene sulfonate, vinyl sulfonate, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate (AMPS).
  • AMPS 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate
  • such substructures may be generated by hydrolysis of a precursor structure (e.g. generation of methacrylic acid in the polymer backbone via hydrolysis of methyl methacrylate after the formal polymerization). The amount of charged monomer incorporated into the acrylamide-containing polymer may affect the performance of the polymer.
  • Such anionic monomers may be used in an amphoteric acrylamide-containing polymer, and the amount of the anionic monomer plus the amount of a cationic monomer described above may be from 5% to 50% on a molar basis of all the monomers incorporated into the acrylamide-containing polymer.

  • Table 7 illustrates that using a single product blend of a vinylamine-containing polymer and a cationic acrylamide-containing polymer, improved dry strength results can be obtained in the dry tensile and dry mullen burst categories while offering comparable ring crush results.
  • the single product blend is especially useful in that it offers the papermaker the ease of adding a single product to the paper machine, but the different blend ratios make it possible to tune the product to the papermaker's needs. For instance, if lower wet strength is needed to reduce repulping energy, a single product blend can be made to meet that need while maintaining or improving dry strength properties. Or, if the paper machine is already running near its maximum speed, the amount of drainage the product provides can be matched to the papermaker's need without compromising dry strength. Furthermore, the single product blend can have a significantly higher active solids content without negatively impacting dry strength, thus reducing ecological impact due to transportation of low solids content freight to the paper mill.
