Hydrophilic dispersion polymers for the clarification of deinking process waters

摘要

The invention comprises a method for clarifying ink-laden water obtained from the recycling of paper stocks by treating said water with a conventional coagulant followed by treatment with a hydrophilic dispersion polymer. The hydrophilic dispersion flocculant of the invention is a copolymer of dimethylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate methyl chloride quat (DMAEA.MCQ) cationic monomer and (meth)acrylamide (AcAm). Following dosing with the flocculant, a floc is formed. The floc contains ink and impurities which are removed from the water process stream by means of solid liquid separation; the solid liquid separation comprising a dissolved air flotation method.
