Features of electrolyte coagulation of modified polyamide resin and its effect on the properties of paper and cardboard

The article is devoted to the study of the features of coagulation of a modified polyamide resin for paper and cardboard in the presence of aluminum polyoxychloride. It has been established that the resin under study, the component composition of which is represented by modified polyaminoamides, free resin acid, sodium resinates and maleopimarate, is resistant to water hardness salts, however, the sodium resinates present in its composition are subject to hydrolysis. The process of coagulation of the modified polyamide resin under the influence of aluminum polyoxychloride is multi-stage and ends with the complete deposition of adhesive particles at a system pH of 7.05, which corresponds to an electrolyte consumption of 0.051 g Al₂O₃/g of resin. The composition of the adhesive deposit formed under such conditions is as follows: aluminum-resin complexes (aluminum resinates and products of the interaction of aluminum ions with modified polyamino- amides) – 88.50 % wt.; free resin acids – 11.47 % wt. Further introduction of the electrolyte into the dispersed system leads to the protonation of the amino groups of modified polyaminoamides and aluminum-resin complexes, which provides with a positive charge. Due to its composition and the ongoing coagulation processes, the modified polyamide resin has a waterrepellent and strengthening effect on paper pulps in a wide pH range (5.8–7.5). Sequential introduction of resin into waste paper suspensions in an amount of 0.25 % of absolutely dry fiber and aluminum polyoxychloride until the paper pulps are achieved makes it possible to improve the hydrophobic and physical-mechanical properties of paper by 70.2–87.2 and 19.5–23.2 %, respectively.
