Definitions

  • the present invention relates to modifying starch with metal silicates, and the use of the modified starch in the preparation of cellulosic fiber compositions.
  • the present invention further relates to cellulosic fiber compositions, such as paper and paperboard, which incorporate the starch modified with metal silicates.
  • the making of cellulosic fiber sheets includes the following: 1) producing an aqueous slurry of cellulosic fiber; which may also contain inorganic mineral extenders or pigments; 2) depositing this slurry on a moving papermaking wire or fabric; and 3) forming a sheet from the solid components of the slurry by draining the water.
  • Improved dewatering can also result in a dryer sheet in the press and dryer sections, resulting in reduced energy or steam consumption. Yet further, this is the stage in the papermaking method that determines many sheet final properties.
  • Papermaking retention aids are used to increase the retention of fine furnish solids in the web during the turbulent method of draining and forming the paper web. Without adequate retention of the fine solids, they are either lost to the method effluent or accumulate to high levels in the recirculating white water loop, potentially causing deposit buildup. Additionally, insufficient retention increases the papermakers 1 cost due to loss of additives intended to be adsorbed on the fiber to provide the respective paper opacity, strength, or sizing property.
  • Cationic starch is utilized extensively in the paper industry. It is introduced into the pulp slurry to increase interfiber bonding and to obtain paper strength properties, to emulsify synthetic internal sizing agents, such as alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), or to provide drainage.
  • ASA alkenyl succinic anhydride
  • Metal silicates which include sodium silicate, potassium silicate, and sodium metasilicate, are commodity chemicals utilized widely in many industries, including paper and water treatment.
  • Rushmere teaches an improved drainage aid and retention aid for papermaking which is added to an aqueous paper furnish containing pulp and which comprises a silicated cationic starch composition which is a dry solid which contains from about 1 to 25 wt % silica and consists essentially of granules of a cationized starch having the silica in the form of a water soluble polysilicate microgel deposited on the surfaces thereof and, optionally, the composition further containing discreet agglomerates of silica microgels in admixture with the silicated starch granules.
  • the one-component product is a dry solid which offers convenience and economy over colloidal silica combinations because shipping large quantities of water can be avoided.
  • This invention describes a method for improving the retention and drainage properties during the papermaking process by the addition of a cationic or amphoteric polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative that has been modified with a metal silicate.
  • the present method also provides for a method of modifying a cationic or amphoteric polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative by the addition of a metal silicate.
  • the present invention also provides for a cationic or amphoteric polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative modified with a metal silicate
  • the cationic or amphoteric polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative is a cationic or amphoteric starch.
  • a papermaking process comprising adding to a papermaking slurry, at least one polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative, wherein the polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative has been modified with at least one metal silicate, wherein the at least one polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative is selected from the group consisting of polysaccharide derivatives containing a cationic nitrogen group, a blend of cationic and anionic polysaccharides and combinations thereof.
  • metal silicate to cationic starch will provide a dramatic increase in the drainage. Best results are obtained when the metal silicate is added to the starch after the starch has been cooked.
  • the metal silicate can be added while the starch is still at an elevated temperature or after the starch has been cooled to ambient temperatures. Improved retention and drainage performance has also been observed with adding the metal silicate to the water prior to adding the starch and cooking.
  • the metal silicate is sodium silicate.
  • the metal silicate may also be potassium silicate or sodium metasilicate.
  • the materials utilized in the method of the invention include cellulosic pulp and at least one starch modified with a metal silicate. There can also be employed one or more additional materials, including, but not limited to, additional unmodified starch, filler, inorganic or organic coagulant, conventional flocculant, and at least one organic or inorganic drainage aid.

  • Fillers are used in papermaking. Filler provides optical properties to the cellulosic product. It provides opacity and brightness to the finished sheet, and improves its printing properties. Fillers which are suitable include calcium carbonate (both naturally occurring ground carbonate and synthetically produced precipitated carbonate), titanium oxide, talc, clay, and gypsum. The amount of filler employed can be that which results in a cellulosic product of up to about 50 weight percent filler, based on the dry weight of the pulp.

  • the commercial sources of starch include, but are not limited to, the seeds of cereal grains (com, wheat, rice, etc.), and certain roots (potato, tapioca, etc.). Starch is described by its plant source; reference would be made to, for example, corn starch, potato starch, tapioca starch, rice starch, and wheat starch.. Starch can be considered to be a condensation polymer of glucose.
  • starches consist of a mixture of two polysaccharide types: amylose, an essentially linear polymer, and amylopectin, a highly branched polymer.

  • Starch is synthesized by plants and accumulates in granules that are distinctive for each plant. Starch granules are separated from the plant through a milling and grinding process.

Cationic starches preferably have a cationic degree of substitution (D. S.

  • amphoteric starches that may be used are those made by introduction of sulfosuccinate groups into cationic starches. This modification is accomplished by adding maleic acid half-ester groups to a cationic starch and reacting the maleate double bond with sodium bisulfite.
  • Cationic starch can also be etherified with 3-chloro-2- sulfopropionic acid, carboxyl groups can be introduced into starches by reaction with sodium chloroacetate or by hypochlorite oxidation, and propane sultone can be employed to treat cationic starches to provide amphotericity.
  • Further useful amphoteric starches can be obtained by xanthation of diethylaminoethyl- and 2-(hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium starch ethers.
  • the modification can be extended by the introduction of nonionic or hydroxyalkyl groups from treatment with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide.
  • Starches that require gelatinizing or "cooking" at the use location, or pre-gelatinized, cold-water dispersion starches can be used. Starch granules are insoluble in water. The gelatinization of starch at elevated temperatures results in water penetrating the starch granule, rupturing the granule and releasing the starch molecule into solution.
