AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach significantly improves drainage, retention, and sizing in paper making, while reducing the content of disturbing substances in the pulp suspension, demonstrating enhanced process efficiency and product quality.

Problems solved by technology

All of the above-mentioned compounds interfere with the pulp and paper making processes in various ways.
Over time, the deposits will lead to breakdowns on the paper machine often in form of breaking of the paper web, whereby the paper machine has to be stopped for cleaning.
Furthermore, paper mills tend to re-circulate the white water to a greater extent than previously, which increases the presence of disturbing and detrimental substances in the suspension.

example 1

[0070] An Al—Mg clay having the 3R2 stacking (CC-14, Akzo Nobel Catalyst B.V.) was compared to a commercial talc (Finntalc PO5 from Omya) in terms of pitch adsorption. The method of evaluation of pitch adsorption of mineral powder was a variation of a procedure outlined by D. A. Hughes in Tappi (July 1977, vol. 60, No. 7, p. 144-146). Firstly, samples of synthetic pitch were prepared by adding potassium hydroxide (1 M) to a mixture of 0.65 g of gum rosin and 0.35 g of oleic acid until saponification resulted. Denatured ethanol was subsequently added to dissolve the synthetic pitch.

[0071] Pitch adsorption test procedure: 35 ml of distilled water was first added to a glass centrifuge tube followed by the addition of 1 ml of the synthetic pitch solution and 10 ml of clay having the 3R2 stacking (2.5% dry content). The pH of the synthetic pitch slurry was adjusted to 6.5 with sulphuric acid. The mixture was subsequently stirred for 2 minutes and centrifuged for 20 minutes at 4500 rpm. ...

example 2

[0073] In this example, the pitch adsorption characteristics of an Al—Mg cationic clay having the 3R1, stacking, (CC-8, Süd Chemie) was compared to an Al—Mg cationic clay having the 3R2 stacking (CC-17, Akzo Nobel Catalyst B.V.).

[0074] Two mixtures of synthetic pitch were prepared, one containing oleic acid and gum rosin (Pitch No. 1)—of example 1, and a further synthetic pitch mixture containing abietic acid. The abietic acid containing pitch (Pitch No. 2) was prepared by mixing 1 g of abietic acid and 1M potassium hydroxide until saponification occurred. Denaturated ethanol (250 ml) was added to dissolve the synthetic pitch. The same pitch adsorption test procedure as outlined in Example 1 was used. The results are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.

[0077] The adoption of stickies (hot-melts) of an Al—Mg cationic clay having the 3R2 stacking (CC-14, Akzo Nobel Catalyst B.V.) was compared to talc (Finntalc P05, Omya) using the TOC Instrument (Dohrman DC190). The TOC (Total Organic Carbon) was determined by combustion at 800° C. whereby the carbon was oxidised to carbon dioxide and then analysed by means of the IR-spectroscopy method. The results are summarised in Table 4, in which ‘Stickies Addition’ refers to the amount of stickies, in mg, added per gram of adsorbent; clay or talc, and ‘Stickies Adsorption’ refers to the amount of stickies, in mg, adsorbed per gram of adsorbent; talc or clay.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the production of a cellulosic product which comprises (i) providing an aqueous cellulosic suspension; (ii) adding to the suspension a clay having 3R2 stacking; and (iii) dewatering the obtained suspension. The invention also relates to a process for the production of a cellulosic product which comprises (i) providing an aqueous cellulosic suspension; (ii) adding to the suspension a cationic clay; (iii) adding to the suspension one or more drainage and retention aids comprising at least one cationic polymer; and (iv) dewatering the obtained suspension. The invention further relates to a cellulosic product comprising clay having 3R2 stacking.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority based on U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 427,618, filed Nov. 19, 2002[0002] The present invention relates to a process for the production of a cellulosic product which comprises treating cellulosic fibres with clay having 3R2 stacking, and to a process for the production of a cellulosic product which comprises treating cellulosic fibres with cationic clay. The invention also relates to a cellulosic product comprising clay having 3R2 stacking. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Pulp suspensions are widely used for making cellulosic products such as, for example, pulp and paper, and contain, apart from cellulosic fibres, also compounds which have a negative impact on the production process. Such compounds are found both in cellulosic suspensions originating from virgin pulp and from recycled pulp. [0004] In virgin pulp suspensions such disturbing / detrimental substances are primarily hemicellulose, lignin as well as lipophilic and hydr...
