Abstract

A process for the production of paper, board and cardboard by draining a paper stock containing interfering substances in the presence of polymers which contain vinylamine units and which have an average molar mass M w of at least 1 million, a high-consistency stock first being prepared, at least one polymer containing vinylamine units and having an average molar mass M w of at least 1 million and a degree of hydrolysis of from 1 to 20 mol % being metered into the high-consistency stock, the high-consistency stock being diluted to a low-consistency stock by adding water, and the low-consistency stock being drained, and the use of hydrolyzed homo- or copolymers of N-vinylcarboxamides having a degree of hydrolysis of from 1 to 20 mol % and an average molar mass M w of at least 1 million in the production of paper, board or cardboard as an additive to a high-consistency stock containing interfering substances, for reducing deposits in the wire part, press section and drying section of paper machines.

Claims (16)

1. A process for producing paper, board or cardboard by draining a paper stock comprising interfering substances in the presence of one or more polymers which comprise vinylamine units and which have an average molar mass M w of at least 1 million, the process comprising preparing a high-consistency paper stock, metering at least one homopolymer of an N-vinyl carboxamide comprising vinylamine units and having an average molar mass M w of at least 1 million and a degree of hydrolysis of from 1 to 20 mol % into the high-consistency stock, diluting with water the high-consistency stock to a low-consistency stock, and draining the low-consistency stock.

2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the consistency of the high-consistency stock is more than 2% by weight, based on dry paper stock, and the degree of hydrolysis of the polymers is from 3 to 15 mol %.

3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the consistency of the high-consistency stock is from 3.0 to 6.0% by weight, based on dry paper stock, and the degree of hydrolysis of the polymers is from 5 to 12 mol %.

4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the consistency of the high-consistency stock is from 3.5 to 4.5% by weight, based on dry paper stock, and wherein the consistency of the low-consistency stock is brought to a concentration below 1.5% by weight, based on dry paper stock.

5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein hydrolyzed homopolymers of N-vinylformamide having a degree of hydrolysis of from 1 to 20 mol % are used as polymers comprising vinylamine units.

6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein at least one retention aid is metered into the low-consistency stock.

7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the polymers containing vinylamine units and metered into the high-consistency stock is from 0.002 to 0.1% by weight, based on dry paper stock.

8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the high-consistency stock comprising interfering substances comprises coated broke.

9. A method for reducing deposits in at least one of the wire part, press section and drying section of a paper machine in the production of paper, board or cardboard, comprising adding at least one hydrolyzed homopolymer of a N-vinylcarboxamide having a degree of hydrolysis of from 1 to 20 mol % and an average molar mass M w of at least 1 million as an additive to a high-consistency stock containing interfering substances.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the consistency of the high-consistency stock is more than 2% by weight, based on dry paper stock, and the degree of hydrolysis of the polymers is from 3 to 15 mol %.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the consistency of the high-consistency stock is from 3.0 to 6.0% by weight, based on dry paper stock, and the degree of hydrolysis of the polymers is from 5 to 12 mol %.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the consistency of the high-consistency stock is from 3.5 to 4.5% by weight, based on dry paper stock.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one hydrolyzed homopolymer of a N-vinylcarboxamide comprises vinylamine units.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein hydrolyzed homopolymers of N-vinylformamide having a degree of hydrolysis of from 1 to 20 mol % are used as polymers containing vinylamine units.

15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the amount of the polymers containing vinylamine units and metered into the high-consistency stock is from 0.002 to 0.1% by weight, based on dry paper stock.

16. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the high-consistency stock comprising interfering substances comprises coated broke.
