Benefits of technology

The invention provides stable silica sols with a large surface area that can be used in paper retention without needing to be modified with aluminum ions.

Problems solved by technology

The resulting fresh sol is very unstable and is therefore immediately stabilized by rendering it alkaline again and by growing on silica sol particles present and by simultaneous thermal treatment in between or afterward.
However, a finely divided silica sol rendered alkaline only by means of inorganic bases has the disadvantage that the BET surface area does not remain stable.
Moreover, a high aluminum content is undesired in some applications.

example 1

[0076]An apparatus which consists of three glass overflow reactors arranged in series and connected to one another was used.

[0077]The content of each reaction vessel is thoroughly mixed with a propeller stirrer. The reactor content is heated indirectly by means of steam. For this purpose, heating coils through which steam flows are mounted in the interior of the reaction vessel. The vapors are passed over a water condenser and are condensed and the volume of the condensate is then measured.

[0078]In the first of the three overflow reactors, an aqueous solution of acidic fresh sol, prepared according to U.S. Pat. No. 2,244,325, was added by means of a feed apparatus. The feed apparatus was chosen so that the addition could also be effected into individual, selected reactors. The addition of the guanidine carbonate solution and optionally of a solution of a further base was likewise possible by means of a metering apparatus.

[0079]In order to increase the shelf life, i.e. the duration o...

example 2

[0085]A steady state was established in the apparatus described in example 1, with an average residence time of 14 min in the 1st reaction vessel, 16 min in the 2nd reaction vessel and 20 min in the 3rd reaction vessel, by adding 1600 ml of fresh sol containing 5.6% by weight of SiO2 per hour to the first reaction vessel and 128 ml of alkaline guanidine carbonate solution per hour likewise to the 1st reaction vessel and by evaporating 390 ml of water. The alkaline guanidine carbonate solution contained 45.7 g of guanidine carbonate and 8.4 g of KOH per 945 ml of water.

[0086]During the steady state, 85° C. was established in the 1st reaction vessel, 100° C. in the 2nd reaction vessel and likewise 100° C. in the 3rd reaction vessel. The SiO2 concentration changed from 5.6% by weight in the 1st reaction vessel to 6.1% by weight in the 2nd reaction vessel.

[0087]After an operating time of 3 hours in the steady state, a silica sol containing 6.1% by weight of SiO2 and having a pH of 8.71 ...

example 3

[0088]In this example, an aqueous guanidine carbonate solution which contained no additional base was used.

[0089]The reaction was carried out in the apparatus described in example 1. A steady state was established, with an average residence time of 14 min in the 1st reaction vessel, 16 min in the 2nd reaction vessel and 20 min in the 3rd reaction vessel. For this purpose, 1600 ml of fresh sol containing 5.6% by weight of SiO2 per hour and 128 ml of aqueous guanidine carbonate solution per hour were added to the 1st reaction vessel and 1160 ml of water were evaporated in the downstream reaction vessels.

[0090]The aqueous guanidine carbonate solution contained 50 g of guanidine carbonate per 950 g of water.

[0091]During the steady state, 87° C. was established in the 1st reaction vessel, 100° C. in the 2nd reaction vessel and likewise 100° C. in the 3rd reaction vessel. The SiO2 concentration changed from 5.6% by weight in the 1st reaction vessel to 5.8% by weight in the 2nd reaction ve...

Abstract

A process of preparing a silica sol is described. The process involves reacting a fresh sol with guanidine carbonate. The reaction may be conducted in the presence of a base (e.g., sodium water glass), and at a pH of from 8 to 12. The process of the present invention may also include concentrating steps. The silica sol prepared by the method of the present invention has a BET surface area of greater than or equal to 100 m2 / g, and contains from 0.05 to 15% by weight of gaunidinium ions, based on the total weight of the silica gel.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 10 / 520,574 filed on Jul. 15, 2005 which is incorporated by reference. Application Ser. No. 10 / 520,574 is a national stage application of Application No. PCT / EP2003 / 007235 filed on Jul. 7, 2003 which claims priority of German Application No. 102 30 982.5 filed on Jul. 10, 2002 in Germany.[0002]The present invention relates to guanidinium ion-containing silica sol, a process for its preparation and concentration and its use, for example in paper retention.[0003]Silica sols are sedimentation-stable, colloidal solutions of amorphous Si02 in water or alcohols and other polar solvents. They generally have the flowability of water, and some of the commercial products available to date have high solids concentrations of up to 60% by weight of Si02.[0004]Silica sols have a variety of uses. For example, they are suitable for use as binders for precision casting, for fibers in the refractori...
