Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of papermaking technology, and in particular to an oil-in-water emulsion type nano-crosslinked copolymer papermaking retention aid and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of paper machines towards higher speeds, larger sizes, and neutral papermaking processes, the traditional retention and filtration systems used to control the flocculation of fibers and other components in the pulp to improve retention and filtration performance are no longer satisfactory. Meanwhile, the large-scale use of waste paper and deinked pulp in recent years has led to significant problems with filtration due to the abundance of fine fibers in the waste paper pulp, resulting in poor fiber retention, reduced paper strength, lower quality, and deteriorated paper machine performance. All of these factors make retention and filtration technologies in the wet end of papermaking increasingly important.

[0003] To improve the physical properties of paper and enhance papermaking workability, it is necessary to reduce the amount of additives and increase efficiency. However, increased papermaking speed is accompanied by problems such as increased shear force and rising water temperature. Improved closed-loop white water circulation and fiber recycling rates lead to increased inorganic salt content in the white water, which in turn increases conductivity. Traditional retention aids are easily damaged by shear force, causing floc disintegration, and are also susceptible to interference from salt ions in the papermaking system, resulting in charge neutralization failure. Therefore, it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high retention rates and high paper physical strength.

[0004] Therefore, to address the above shortcomings, a novel retention aid is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that existing retention aids have low retention rates and it is difficult to achieve both high retention rates and physical strength. In view of the defects in the prior art, this invention provides an oil-in-water emulsion type nano-crosslinked copolymer paper retention aid and its preparation method.

The oil phase comprises the following components in parts by weight: white oil 22 parts (e.g., 0.04 parts, etc.), water 200-300 parts (e.g., 200 parts, 210 parts, 220 parts, 230 parts, 240 parts, 250 parts, 260 parts, 270 parts, 280 parts, 290 parts, or 300 parts, etc.), and initiator 0.1-0.5 parts (e.g., 0.1 parts, 0.2 parts, 0.3 parts, 0.4 parts, or 0.5 parts, etc.); the oil phase comprises the following components in parts by weight: white oil 22 The template polymer has a molecular weight of 0 to 260 parts (e.g., 220, 230, 240, 250, or 260 parts, etc.), 25 to 35 parts (e.g., 25, 26, 28, 30, 33, or 35 parts, etc.), and 22 to 28 parts (e.g., 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, or 28 parts, etc.).

[0026] Implementing this invention has the following beneficial effects: By introducing crosslinking agents into the polymer backbone to construct a three-dimensional network structure, its unique three-dimensional network structure exhibits superior shear resistance, electrical conductivity, and fine component capture capabilities compared to traditional linear polymers, while maintaining stable performance under complex wet-end chemical conditions. Structure modifiers can adjust intermolecular crosslinking to obtain a three-dimensional network structure, resulting in flocculants with a network structure. This allows the flocculant molecular chains to maintain their original shape after high-speed shearing or recover their original shape when the shear force decreases, thus maintaining good flocculation and aggregation performance even after high shear. Furthermore, its unique network molecular structure enables it to capture suspended fine particles more effectively than other types, resulting in lower suspended solids content in the supernatant.

[0027] The synergistic effect of the "nano-SiO2-organic cross-linked network" achieves a balance between high retention rate and paper strength. After the modified nano-SiO2 is covalently embedded in the polymer backbone, the exposed -SiOH groups on its surface form hydrogen bonds with the -OH groups on the surface of fillers (such as CaCO3 and kaolin), while simultaneously forming localized high charge density regions in the fiber interstices. This "inorganic-organic hybrid patch" can selectively adsorb fine components, improving filler retention rate by 15%-30%.

[0028] Network structure enhancement: Nano-SiO2 acts as a crosslinking point, and its rigid structure inhibits the coiling of polymer chains. It can still maintain a three-dimensional network under shear force, thereby improving the shear strength of fiber-filler flocs in pulp suspension. Detailed Implementation
