MODIFIED POLYALKYLENEIMINE AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

A modified polyalkyleneimine with satisfactory stability obtained by modifying a polyalkyleneimine through a reaction which is easy to control and does not lower the cation density characteristic of the polyalkyleneimine; and various methods of treatment with the modified polyalkyleneimine. A polyalkyleneimine or a mixture thereof with a polyamine is reacted with a polycationic substance having a specific structure to produce a modified polyalkyleneimine having a specific structure. The modified polyalkyleneimine can be used as a sludge dehydrator, agent for improving suitability for dehydrating filtration, agent for pretreatment of papermaking materials, or yield improver to thereby enable an efficient treatment.
