which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: 5
This invention relates to acrylamide polymer hydrogels of reduced adhesiveness, and their production.
Water-soluble polymers such as polyacrylamide, partially hydrolyzed products of polyacrylamide, and cationic, anionic or nonionic copolymers containing acylamide (generically referred to herein as polymers derived from acrylamide have recently gained increasing 10 acceptance as paper strengthening agents, thickeners for use in papermaking and flocculating agents for treating water.
Various methods of polymerization, e g, as described in Encylopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, Vol 1, (John Wiley and Sons, Inc ( 1964)) and more specifically, methods such as aqueous solution polymerization (e g as described in U S Patent 3, 332,922), 15 emulsion polymerization (e g as described in U S Patent 3,284,393), suspension polymerization (e g as described in U S Patent 2,982,749), radiation polymerization (e g as described in U S Patent 3,477,932) or precipitation polymerization are known to prepare polymers, derived from acrylamide but the aqueous solution polymerization method has been most widely used because it is economical and easily affords highmolecular weight 20 polymers From the stand point of economy in polymerization, transportation or drying, it is desirable to start the polymerization with a high monomer concentration.
As the concentration of the monomer increases, however, the resulting polymer becomes an elastomeric gel having a higher viscosity, and is difficult to handle as a fluid A possible method for avoiding this difficulty would be one which comprises mincing such a high 25 viscosity elastomeric gel into coarse gel-particles, drying the particles using a rotary cylindrical dryer, a belt-type dryer or the like, and then finely pulverizing the dried particles thereby to produce a readily water-soluble powdery polymer that is easy to handle This method, however, has the disadvantage that because of the adhesiveness of the polymeric gel, its adhesion to other substances or to itself becomes exceedingly high, and this is a great 30 drawback in drying the polymeric hydrogel.
In order to solve this problem, U S Patent 3,905,122 discloses a method which comprises extruding a high-viscosity elastomeric gel through a perforated plate, forming mutually adhering small gel globules by cutting the gel before or after passing the gel through the perforated plate, and drying the aggregate with hot air while applying a shearing force This 35 method is successful to some extent, and hydrogels of anionic or nonionic polymers can be treated relatively well with this method Since, however, hydrogels of cationic polymers generally have a much higher adhesiveness than anionic or nonionic polymers, a reduction in the adhesion of the polymeric hydrogel particles to one another still cannot be achieved, and a good drying operation is difficult to perform 40 It has, however, now been found that polyethylene glycol added during the production of polymer derived from acrylamide or to the resulting hydrogel-like polymer markedly reduces the adhesiveness of water-soluble cationic polymers, derived from acrylamide and such polymers can be minced and dried without hardly any adhesion between the gel particles 45 1,572,219 It has also been discovered that when this technique is applied to the production of anionic or nonionic acrylamide polymers or copolymers, the adhesiveness of these types of polymeric gels is further reduced as compared with that obtained with conventional treatments of anionic or nonionic polymeric gels, and operability in pulverizing and drying such polymeric gels is also enhanced Moreover, a partial agglomeration of the polymeric gel particles within the dryer due to their adhesiveness is avoided, a problem which has been observed frequently in conventional techniques.
Accordingly, the present invention resides in one aspect in a method for reducing the adhesiveness of a hydrogel of a water-soluble polymer derived from acrylamide comprising solution polymerizing a high concentration aqueous solution of acrylamide or a monomeric 10 mixture containing acrylamide in the presence of polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 300 to 1,000,000.
In a further aspect, the invention resides in a method for reducing the adhesiveness of a hydrogel of a water-soluble polymer derived from acrylamide, which comprises applying polyethylene glycol having an average moleculor weight of 300 to 1,000, 000 to the surface 15 of the hydrogel.
The polymer derived from acrylamide used in the methods described above must be substantially elastic, and have some degree of rigidity If the concentration of the starting monomer is too low at the time of polymerization, the resulting polymeric gel becomes soft and difficult to treat For example, when an acrylamide polymer having an average molecu 20 lar weight of about 8 million is desired, the lower limit of concentration of the starting monomer is about 18 % by weight.
Examples of suitable polymers derived from acrylamide for use in the above methods are polyacrylamide, partially hydrolyzed products of polyacrylamide, and water-soluble copolymers of acrylamide with any other vinyl or vinylidene monomers as comonomers 25 Examples of vinyl comonomers which can be used to prepare these acrylamide copolymers include cationic vinyl monomers such as diethylaminoethylacrylate dimethylaminoethyl acrylate, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, diethylaminoethyl methacrylate dimethylaminohydroxypropyl acrylate, dimethylaminohydroxypropyl methacrylate, or dimethylaminoethyl acrylamide; quaternary ammonium salts of cationic vinyl monomers 30 obtained by treatment with quaternizing agents, e g alkyl halides such as methyl chloride, methyl iodide, methyl bromide; dialkyl sulfates such as dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate; nonionic monomers such as acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate or methacrylamide; anionic monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or salts of these e g, alkali metal salts or ammonium salts 35 A suitable molecular weight for the polymers derived from acrylamide is at least 1,000,000, preferably about 2,000,000 In the case of a cationic polymer pendant groups are present and, therefore, polymer derived from acrylamide having a molecular weight slightly lower than that of a nonionic or an anionic polymer can be employed Where a cationic monomer is used to produce the polymer derived from acrylamide, the comonomer 40 can be used in an amount of up to about 50 % by weight to the total weight of acrylamide and the comonomer However, where an anionic monomer is used, it is preferred to use less than about 50 % by weight Specifically, on considering the solubility of the final polymer product, for certain kinds of monomer the upper limit for the comonomer used is the maximum solubility which the comonomer itself possesses 45 With respect to the aqueous solution polymerization, suitable process conditions which can be used to produce the polymers derived from acrylamide can be easily selected by one skilled in the art For example, a 23 % aqueous solution of a monomer mixture comprising % of acrylamide by weight of the total monomer and 5 % of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate by weight of the total monomer is subjected to adiabatic polymerization at a polymer 50 ization initiation temperature of 25 to 28 C using 2,2 ‘-azobis-2 amidinopropane hydrochloride as a polymerization initiator After about 2-3 hours, the polymerization temperatures reaches its maximum value (about 95 C) and the polymerization is complete, the resultant product being a raw rubber-like and adhesive polymer hydrogel In general a monomer concentration in the aqueous solution is a concentration of at least 18 % by weight 55 The polyethylene glycol used as the additive in the methods described above has an average molecular weight of 300 to 1,000,000, preferably 1,000 to 20,000 When polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 300 to 1,000 is employed, a reduction in adhesiveness to some extent can be obtained However, the reduction effect in adhesiveness is best exhibited when the polyethylene glycol has an average molecular 60 weight of about 1,000 to 20,000 On the other hand, when polyethylene glycol (including polyethylene oxides in a broad sense) having a very high molecular weight (e g an average molecular weight of 1,000,000 or higher) is used, the effect of reducing the adhesiveness is substantially the same as in the case of using a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of not more than 1,000 It has been found however that when this very 65 3 1,572,219 high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol is used during the polymerization, the viscosity of the monomer solution increases because the polyethylene glycol dissolves in the solution prior to polymerization, and this adversely affects the polymerization operation.
When the polyethylene glycol is added during polymerization of an acrylamide-type monomer, the polyethylene glycol is dissolved in the aqueous solution of the monomer in 5 the required amount When the polyethylene glycol is to be applied directly to a hydrogellike polymer, a fine powder of the polyethylene glycol may be applied to the polymer, it being appreciated that polyethylene glycol having the above-specified molecular weight has the form of flakes at room temperature (about 20-300 C) Alternatively, an aqueous solution of the polyethylene glycol may be first formed and the solution then sprayed onto the 10 polymer.
It is to be appreciated that an aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol is not compatible with a hydrogel of a polymer, derived from acrylamide and with the passage of time, the polyethylene glycol tends to deposit on the surface of the polymer Hence, even if the polyethylene glycol is incorporated into the hydrogel-like polymer, the polyethylene glycol 15 gradually gathers on the surface of the polymer to coat the surface sufficiently to reduce the adhesiveness of the polymer.
The amount of the polyethylene glycol used is from 0 02 to 10 %, preferably 0 1 to 5 %, by weight based on the monomer solution or the polymeric hydrogel The specific amount used in each case varies slightly depending upon the period in time at which the addition is made 20 Thus, when the polyethylene glycol is added to the polymerization system prior to the polymerization, the amount added is 0 1 to 10 % by weight, but when the polyethylene glycol is applied, e g, by spraying onto the polymeric hydrogel, a sufficient effect can be achieved using a smaller amount, e g, not more than about 0 05 % by weight The reason a smaller amount can be used is unknown, but it is assumed to be that it is unnecessary to 25 actually incorporate the polyethylene glycol into the interior of the hydrogel.
For anionic polymers, nonionic polymers, or weakly cationic polymers containing less than about 20 % by weight of cationic monomer units, the effect achieved with the polyethylene glycol is sufficiently exhibited even when the polyethylene glycol is employed in an amount of as low as 0 05 to 0 2 % by weight based on the monomer solution or the 30 hydrogel On the other hand, medium to strongly cationic copolymers containing a higher ratio of cationic monomer units have increased adhesiveness, and therefore, small amounts of polyethylene glycol are not sufficient to reduce the adhesiveness of these types of polymers and the remaining adhesiveness is detrimental in subsequent handling of the polymer.
However, addition of polyethylene glycol in amount of 0 5 to 5 % by weight based on the 35 monomer solution or the hydrogel reduces the adhesiveness of such polymeric hydrogels to an extent such that the hydrogel can be minced and dried satisfactorily.
Accordingly, the amount of polyethylene glycol which is suitable is also dependent on the composition of the polymer derived from acrylamide but can readily be determined by one skilled in the art It should, however, be noted that excessive amounts of polyethylene 40 glycol not only reduce the quality of the polymer, but also foaming tends to occur when the polymer is dissolved in water.
The water-soluble hydrogel-like polymer derived frim acrylamide whose adhesiveness has been reduced in the manner described above can be formed into a dry powder by, for example, the method disclosed in U S Patent 3,905,122 cited above Even when the 45 polymer is transported and stored in the form of small hydrogel globules, the globules do not adhere to one another, and therefore can be formed into an aqueous solution at the desired use location.
The following Examples are given to illustrate the present invention in greater detail and in the Examples all parts, percents, ratios and the like are by weight unless otherwise 50 indicated.
EXAMPLE 1
17.5 kg of acrylamide, 0 92 kg of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, 300 g of 96 % sulfuric acid and 160 g of polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 6250 55 were uniformly dissolved in deionized water in a 100-liter polymerization vessel whose interior was made of stainless steel, to form 80 kg of a monomer solution The solution was purged with nitrogen to remove oxygen sufficiently, and after adding 8 0 g of 1,2 ‘ -azobis-2 -amidinopropane hydrochloride as a polymerization initiator, polymerization at 280 C (starting temperature) in an adiabatic state was conducted The polymerization ended in 60 minutes, and the temperature of the polymer reached 95 ‘C at maximum due to the heat of polymerization After the polymerization, the top end plate of the polymerization vessel was removed, and the vessel was turned through 1800 to remove the polymer entirely The adhesiveness of the polymer gel to the polymerization vessel at this time was so slight that it could be neglected 65 1,572,219 1,572,219 The polymeric gel obtained ( 40 kg per batch) was passed through an extrusion mincer having a perforated plate with a pore diameter of 3 2 mm at its forward end and a cutter inside the mincer The resulting cord-like minced gel particles were dried in a rotary cylindrical hot air dryer having a diameter of 470 mm and a width of 560 mm The drying conditions were as follows: rotating speed of the drying drum: 4 5 rpm; flow rate of hot air 5 at the inlet: 0 6 m/sec; hot air temperature: 60 WC; and drying time: 300 minutes.
During the drying, the minced polymer gel was in the form of pellets with a diameter of several millimeters which were dried while flowing well in the drying drum Finally, dried pellets in a substantially cubic form which were extremely easy to handle were obtained.
The dried pellets were pulverized finely using a pulverizer to obtain a powdery polymer 10 The powdery polymer was soluble in water, and an aqueous solution of the polymer at a concentration of 1 % had a viscosity of 4,800 centipoises as determined by a Brookfield viscometer using a No 2 rotor at a speed of 6 rpm The powdery polymer had a moisture content of 7 9 %.
