Further, the present invention relates to methods for preparing hydrous kaolin products.
  • Kaolin clay also referred to as China Clay, or hydrous kaolin, is comprised predominantly of the mineral kaolinite, a hydrous aluminum silicate, together with small amounts of a variety of impurities.
  • Particulate kaolins generally exist in three forms: hydrous kaolin, calcined kaolin and chemically aggregated kaolin.
  • Hydrous kaolin is primarily the mineral kaolinite, which has been mined and beneficiated from natural sources. Calcined kaolins are obtained by processing hydrous kaolin at high temperatures, e.g., greater than 500° C.
  • Chemically aggregated kaolins are particle aggregates having a microstructure resembling that of calcined kaolins produced by treating hydrous kaolin with chemicals. Calcined and chemically aggregated kaolins can show benefits in certain application compositions when compared with hydrous kaolins.
  • calcined and chemically aggregated kaolins are not without disadvantages.

  • extenders they allow partial replacement of titanium dioxide and other more expensive pigments with minimal loss of whiteness or brightness.
  • Paper coatings are applied to sheet materials for a number of purposes including, but not limited to, increasing the gloss, smoothness, opacity and/or brightness of the material. Coatings may also be applied to hide surface irregularities or in other ways improve the surface for the acceptance of print. Paper coatings are generally prepared by forming a fluid aqueous suspension of pigment material together with a hydrophilic adhesive and other optional ingredients.
  • Coatings have been conventionally applied by means of a coating machine including a short dwell time coating head, which is a device in which a captive pond of coating composition under a slightly elevated pressure is held in contact with a moving paper web for a time sufficient to coat the paper before excess coating composition is removed by means of a trailing blade.

  • the sample according to the present invention provides stronger barriers when compared with prior art kaolins. Such results can be attributed to the high shape factor and large plate diameter associated with the kaolins of the present invention.
  • Example 5 illustrates the utility of the inventive kaolin compositions as a component of a paper coating.
  • Paper coating formulations were made up based upon 100 parts of pigment with 14 parts Dow 692 latex binder, 4 parts PROCOTE protein binder, 1.1 parts DISPEX polyacrylate dispersant, TiO 2 and kaolin were added as indicated in the Table, below.
  • kaolin properties are set forth in the Table below: Prior Art Kaolin Invention Kaolin 1 Invention Kaolin 2 Brightness 90 91 92 2 micron 91 85.6 66.7 0.5 micron 35 34.4 18.1 Shape Factor 15 107 141 Surface Area 15 15.9 11.3 Steepness 45 37 33
  • Samples according to the present invention exhibited improved brightness at accepted TiO 2 levels and comparable brightness at lower TiO 2 levels. See FIG. 5 which plots the brightness results noted above as a function of TiO 2 content. Paper coated according to the present invention gives high brightness even with TiO 2 , significantly above the brightness of the uncoated sheet.
  • inventive kaolin compositions are useful in applications wherein a high opacity, brightness or scattering are required, such as in brown board coating applications and may serve to reduce the amount of TiO 2 required therein.
  • present example illustrates the utility of the inventive kaolin as a paper coating, the composition could also be used to coat other substances wherein a high brightness or opacity coating is needed.
  • inventive kaolins as a filler, handsheets were prepared from a unbleached natural Kraft which has undergone no refining. While the present example pertains to use as a paper filler, it is anticipated that the inventive kaolins could also be useful as a high opacity filler for plastics and like materials.
  • the handsheets were made with a TAPPI sheet mold at a pH of 4.5.
  • the sheets were made on a fourdinier paper machine using unbleached hardwood kraft. The conditions are discussed in the table, below.
  • pH 6.75 Freeness (CSF) 470 Freeness (CSF) after beating 380 Britt Fines % Fiber 80.3 % Fines 18.9 % Ash 0.8 Brightness 22.7 Specific Conductivity 1750 Mutek PCD: ⁇ 340 Total Dissolved Solids 2327 ppm Inorganic Dissolved 1880 ppm
  • the handsheets were air dried and a range of properties were measured for unfilled sheets, sheets made using the commercially available prior art pigment ASTRAPLATE (available from Imerys, Inc.) and two sets of samples using the composition identified as Invention Kaolin 2 in Example 5 above.
  • ASTRAPLATE and Invention 2 Samples included 2 lbs per ton of a commercially available retention aid of a sort that would be readily obtainable by one of ordinary skill in the art.
  • Filled paper was made using a bleached hardwood, softwood mixture beaten to a 400 Canadian Standard Freeness (CSF), a retention aid, and Invention Kaolin 2 of Example 5. The pH was maintained at 5.0. Handsheet were made and allowed to air dry. A range of properties were measured.
  • the pigment light scatter according to the present invention (1900-2000 cm 2 /g) compares favorably with that which can be achieved using calcined clay at 2500 and standard filler clay at 1100.
  • the ground Invention Kaolin 3 had good color, better than the existing fine particle size clay product. Further improvements may be possible through bleaching of the ground clay.
  • the light Carbolite grinding of Invention Kaolin 3 can provide a product comprising a coarse, high shape factor clay giving a combination of low sheen with significant opacity improvements. These results reflect the performance of a small batch of material.
  • the more highly ground Invention Kaolin 3 can have a fine high shape factor clay giving large opacity improvements, at the cost of increased sheen.
  • Such a product may offer an alternative to calcined clays in formulations where high scrub resistance is not regarded as important.
  • FIG. 6 presents the opacity and sheen of the ground clays in the high PVC formulation.
  • the clays were prepared by grinding with fine Carbolite media. The grinding energy is indicated by the size of each point. To allow comparison some standard clays (SUPREME and GLOMAX LL*, all of which are Imerys clay products) are plotted.
  • Invention Kaolin 4 had a poor color, a substantial part of their opacity originated from absorption, rather than scattering of light. They also ground to a finer particle size than Invention Kaolin 3, resulting in higher sheen.
  • a 1.5 unit increase in opacity was achievable by Carbolite grinding of the fine particle size clay feed material. Similar opacities were obtained with the ground Georgia Feed Clay. For these materials, any increase in opacity was always accompanied by a significant increase of the sheen, brought about by a decreasing particle size.
  • FIG. 7 is a plot of the d 50 versus shape factor. For each of the four feeds, the Carbolite grinding resulted in an increase in the clay's shape factor, and a decrease in the mean particle size. From FIG. 7, it can be seen that Invention Kaolin 3 and Invention Kaolin 4 yielded the highest shape factors. Invention Kaolin 4 suffered from poor color, with an ISO brightness of 75.7.
  • Invention Kaolin 3 had good color in that it is better than that of the existing fine particle size clay product.
  • FIG. 8 is a flowchart outlining a process where two coarse fractions are combined, followed by leaching and filtering to produce a stabilized high-solids slurry by adding a stabilizing agent such as carboxymethlycellulose or a smecite clay (i.e. bentonite, hectorite, montmorillonite, etc.).
  • a stabilizing agent such as carboxymethlycellulose or a smecite clay (i.e. bentonite, hectorite, montmorillonite, etc.).
  • a two tote sized samples ( ⁇ 250-300 gallons) of the inventive product of Example 9 were made down by blunging with a 65/35 SAPA (soda ash/sodium polyacrylate) dispersant package to a pH of 6.5.
  • the two sample totes of the product were each treated with biocide (1 lb/dry tonne Proxel) then treated with 8 lbs/dry tonne of the carboxymethylcellulose PE-30 EX.
  • the final solids content of Sample 1 was 52% and the final solids content of sample 2 was 49.6%.
  • the initial Hercules viscosity of samples 1 and 2 were measured using a no. 2 spindle at 20 rpm and found to be 30 cps and 18 cps respectively.
  • the initial Hercules viscosity of sample 1 was measured as 8.5 dynes at 4400 rpm at pH 7.2 and the initial Hercules viscosity of sample 2 was measured as 5.0 dynes at pH 7.0.
  • each one pint sample was subjected to a pour test wherein it was upended and allowed to pour for 1 minute. In this time approximately 93.4% sample 1 and 94.9% of sample 2 was seen to pour from the container, illustrating the continued fluidity of the sample.
  • a similar test performed on each entire tote ( ⁇ 250-300 gallons) of samples 1 and 2 resulted in 99.7% and 99.2% pouring respectively.
  • the CMC stabilized slurry is basically stable, which is surprising in light of the fact that the make down process with CMC results in an effective decrease in the slurry solids. Generally this process should be useful in relation to slurries having a solids content, for example, in the range of greater than about 45%, between about 45% and about 60%, or even in the range of about 50 to about 60%.
