AI Technical Summary
Existing rosin sizing agents have problems such as harmful health effects from chloropropanol residues, strong dependence on aluminum sulfate, and poor compatibility with calcium carbonate, which limit their widespread application.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anionic rosin adhesive technology, specifically relating to a charge-reversal-stable cationic modified rosin anionic rosin adhesive, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Sizing is an indispensable and crucial step in the papermaking industry. Currently, rosin sizing agents still dominate, accounting for more than two-thirds of all sizing agents used. Commercially available rosin sizing agents mainly include saponified rosin gum, reinforced rosin gum, and dispersible rosin gum. Among them, dispersible rosin gum has a sizing efficiency approximately four times that of saponified rosin gum and twice that of reinforced rosin gum, and it can significantly reduce the amount of aluminum sulfate and brighteners used while improving paper strength.
[0003] Currently, widely used rosin sizing agents are mainly anionic or cationic. Cationic rosin gums mostly contain 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol, 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (collectively known as chloropropanol), or other organochlorine compounds. These substances mainly originate from PAE-type emulsifiers or other chlorinated cationic polymer monomers used in the preparation process. Recent studies have shown that chloropropanol and organochlorine residues pose potential health hazards. On the other hand, anionic rosin gums have significant limitations in practical applications: they are highly dependent on aluminum sulfate, typically only usable under acidic or specific sizing process conditions, and have poor compatibility with common fillers such as calcium carbonate. These shortcomings severely restrict the widespread application of these two types of traditional rosin sizing agents. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the aforementioned technical problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a charge-reversal-stable cationic modified rosin anionic rosin gum, its preparation method, and its application. To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0005] In one aspect, this invention provides a charge-reversal-stabilized cationic modified rosin anionic rosin gum, composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight:
[0006] Rosin 100-200 parts; epichlorohydrin 30-90 parts; trimethylamine 3-7 parts; tetrabutylammonium bromide 0.5-1 part; anionic starch emulsifier 5-8 parts; sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate 5-8 parts; defoamer 0.5-2 parts; and water 100-240 parts;
[0007] The anionic starch emulsifier is prepared by reacting cassava starch with sodium chloroacetate under alkaline conditions.
[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the defoamer is at least one of emulsified silicone oil, higher alcohol complex, polyether, and polydimethylsiloxane.
[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the solid content of the cationic modified rosin anionic rosin gum is 30-50%, and the viscosity is 15-50 mPa·s.
[0010] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing charge-reversal-stabilized cationic modified rosin anionic rosin gum, comprising the following steps:
[0011] (1) Rosin, epichlorohydrin and tetrabutylammonium bromide were reacted at 160°C for 2 hours until the acid value of the reaction system dropped to below 5 mg KOH / g; trimethylamine aqueous solution was added and the reaction was continued at 100°C for 1.5 hours to obtain cationic modified rosin;
[0012] (2) Heat the anionic starch emulsifier and sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate to 70-90°C respectively, and add them dropwise to the molten cationic modified rosin. Mix for 10 minutes at 110-140°C and a shear rate of 800-1200 rpm to obtain a pre-emulsified rosin liquid.
[0013] (3) Slowly drip water at 90°C into the pre-emulsified rosin liquid, and add defoamer after cooling to obtain the cationic modified rosin anionic rosin gum.
[0014] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the preparation method of the anionic starch emulsifier in step (2) specifically includes: mixing 10-15 parts of sodium chloroacetate, 100-200 parts of cassava starch, 8-16 parts of sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 32% and 200-300 parts of water, and heating to 50°C to react for 2-3 hours.
[0015] In a third aspect, the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned charge-reversal stable cationic modified rosin anionic rosin gum in paper sizing.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0017] (1) The present invention uses self-made anionic starch emulsifier and sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate for synergistic phase inversion. The resulting anionic rosin gum has a narrow particle size distribution and is easy to disperse in cold water. When added to a wet cloth, it can be more evenly dispersed in the slurry, significantly improving the sizing degree and exhibiting excellent stability.
[0018] (2) The entire process of this invention is free of organochlorine byproducts such as chloropropanol. The rosin is cationic modified and has low dependence on aluminum sulfate. It can achieve efficient sizing in the acidic to neutral range. The process is simple and can be scaled up without complicated equipment. Detailed Implementation

[0070] Experimental design: Design a papermaking quantity of 100g / m³ 2

[0072] Rosin addition: 14 kg / t paper, 18 kg / t paper (wet / dry, each sample is 35% solids content).
[0073] According to the above process, the pH value of the blank pulp is adjusted to about 6.0-7.0 with a dissolved 30% citric acid solution. Then, the rosin gum prepared in Examples 1-4 or Comparative Examples 1-8 is added. After stirring for 1 minute, talc powder is added. After stirring for 1 minute, retention aid is added. After 1 minute, the prepared pulp is removed, and the pulp is formed into sheets using a 73-62 semi-automatic paper sheet forming machine. After pressing with a 73-50 standard paper sheet press, the paper is dried using a varnishing machine, and the Cobb water absorption value of the paper sample is tested after 1 minute.

Especially at the addition amount of 14 kg / t paper after folding and at an iso-dry level, the advantages of the present invention are more significant, with a Cobb value of 40.2~44.95 g / m³. 2 It was significantly lower than the comparative sample of 51.4~71.3 g / m 2 .
