  • the present invention relates to synthesis of thermolabile multifunctional azo compounds and their use for the preparation of high molecular weight well-defined structured polymers.
  • thermolabile multifunctional azo compounds As described for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,605,674, 6,627,719, and 6,753,388 these azo compounds are particularly useful for the synthesis of flocculants, coagulants and dispersants for paper, mining and wastewater industries.
  • Well-defined macromolecular architectures are typically prepared by living anionic or cationic polymerization or by controlled radical polymerizations such as RAFT (Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer), ATRP (Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization), NMP (Nitroxide-Mediated Polymerization) and more recently SET-LRP (Single Electron Transfer-Living Radical Polymerization).

  • Star polymers gained much attention in the last two decades and there have been numerous publications on its synthesis and properties of the resulting polymers.
  • the two most common ways to make star polymers are (1) start with a multifunctional initiator (as shown in FIG. 1 ) and (2) covalently attach a preformed polymer to a polyfunctional core.
  • Polyfunctional initiators result in polymers of high molecular weights and in the synthesis of very large macromolecules (MW several millions) the first route is the preferred method of preparation.
  • multifunctional initiators capable of initiating polymerization.
  • the main drawback with multifunctional initiators is that upon decomposition, a second radical produces linear polymers in addition to the desired star polymers.

The second problem with this approach is that this will also create the linear polymers in addition to graft copolymers.

  • aqueous monomer phase was made up dissolving 9.82 g Adipic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) and 34.78 g DI water in 227.74 g of 49.5% aqueous solution of Acrylamide (Nalco Company, Naperville, Ill.). The components were stirred until a homogenous solution was formed. To this solution added 0.1 g of EDTA followed by 384.084 Dimethylaminoethyl acrylate methylchloride (DMAEA-MCQ, SNF Riceboro, Ga.) and mixed well.
  • DMAEA-MCQ Dimethylaminoethyl acrylate methylchloride
  • An oil phase was prepared from 274.96 g of hydrocarbon solvent (Exxon Chemical Company, Houston, Tex.), 14.1 g Arlacel 80AC (Uniqema, New Castle, Del.) and 16.3 g Tween 85 (Uniqema, New Castle, Del.) at room temperature. Oil phase was added to a 1500 mL reactor set at 50° C. When oil phase addition was complete rate of mixing was increased from 500 rpm to 1000 rpm and added the monomer phase slowly into the oil phase. The mixing was accomplished by a 10 mm rod with a Teflon paddle at the base and 6-blade turbine mounted 3-inches from the bottom. The resulting emulsion was mixed for next 30 minutes.

  • Tween 85 Uniqema, New Castle, Del.
  • the effectiveness of various star polymers was demonstrated by a free drainage test, which compared their flocculation and dewatering performance.
  • the polymer is activated by inverting it at a concentration of typically 2200 mg/L on an actives basis in DI water under vigorous stirring using a cage stirrer at 800 rpm for 30 minutes.
  • 200 mL of sludge sample is conditioned with a specified volume of the polymer solution in a 500 mL cylinder by manually inverting the cylinder a specified number of times, usually 5, 10 or 20 depending on the amount of shear to be simulated.
  • a specified volume of dilution water is added to the sludge prior to conditioning so that the total volume of water added via the polymer and the dilution water is constant, usually 25 mL.
  • the conditioned sludge is filtered under gravity through a constant area of a belt press fabric, usually either 41 cm 2 or 85 cm 2 .
  • the filtrate mass is measured as a function of time via an electronic balance. The mass of the filtrate at a specified time is plotted against polymer dosage for various polymers.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the performance advantages of these new molecules at 30 seconds of drainage in the dewatering of sludge from a chemical industry.
  • An ideal polymer would show high drainage (high effectiveness) preferably occurring at low polymer dosage (high efficiency).
  • a prior art linear polymer shows very low filtrate mass over a wide range of polymer dosage i.e. poor effectiveness.
  • Increasing the polymer dosage further, reduces the drainage because of the so called “overdose effect”.
  • increasing the dosage of polymer beyond its optimum value causes it to remain on the exterior of the floc aggregates which then adhere to the filtration fabric and blind it.
  • the excess polymer also increases the viscosity of the filtrate, both of which contribute to a reduced drainage rate.
  • a prior art cross-linked polymer is effective (it drains higher amounts of water) but it is inefficient because it yields these results only at high dosages.
  • the cross-linked polymer also has a relatively level slope in the region of optimum dosage, indicating an absence of the overdose effect.
  • 6-arm, 5-arm, 4-arm, and 3-arm polymers all show better effectiveness than the linear polymer and are more efficient than the cross-linked polymer because they function at lower dosages.
  • the 3-arm polymer in particular matches the best effectiveness of the cross linked polymer, but at dosages less than that of the cross-linked polymer, indicating its superior efficiency.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the effectiveness and efficiency of star polymers relative to cross-linked and linear polymers at 10 seconds of drainage when applied to the dewatering of sludge from a refinery. It shows that 3-arm, 4-arm polymers are nearly as effective at achieving high drainage and much more efficient in polymer dosage compared to the cross-linked polymer. The 3-arm, 4-arm and 5-arm star polymers are much more effective at achieving high drainage than the linear polymer.
  • the star polymer is itself treated by cross linking agents to form an even more structured star polymer having at least one cross linkage between at least two star polymer arms in addition to the multifunctional core. These even more structured star polymers have enhanced dewatering properties.
  • FIG. 6 shows performance advantage of the polymers made using these novel initiators (labeled “Polyfunctional”) compared with prior art cross-linked, linear polymers, and peroxide initiator based polymers.
  • the results show that the 3-arm, 4-arm star polymers made from the novel initiators perform more effectively than the prior art linear polymer and the multifunctional peroxide initiator based polymer, and are more efficient than the cross-linked polymer, with only marginal decrease in effectiveness.
  • the superior performance of star polymers arises from their unique solution viscosity properties.
  • the viscosity of a star polymer is high at a high solution concentration e.g. 0.5% wt product in water, but decreases sharply at lower concentration e.g. below 0.3% wt product.
  • the viscosity of a linear polymer is not as high as that of the star polymer at high concentration and decreases gradually with decrease in solution concentration of the polymer.
  • a cross-linked polymer shows a very low viscosity that is nearly independent of concentration in the concentration range of 0.5% wt to 0.05% wt.
  • the high viscosity star polymer solution forms large floc aggregates of the primary particles in the sludge suspension.
  • the floc aggregates Upon further mixing of the star polymer solution and the sludge suspension, the floc aggregates become more compact and dense compared to the case of a linear polymer solution, since its decreasing solution viscosity allows faster rearrangement of polymer molecules within the floe aggregate.
  • This compact floe architecture releases more free water, resulting in faster drainage, compared to the floes obtained from conditioning with a linear polymer.
  • a cross-linked polymer solution will also provide a compact floc architecture giving high drainage rates, but due to its low viscosity, will form small floes each containing a smaller number of primary particles. Therefore, to flocculate all particles of a suspension, a larger polymer dosage of the cross-linked polymer is required, making it less efficient.
  • a star polymer combines the low dosage benefit of the linear polymer and the high drainage benefit of the cross-linked polymer, making it a superior product.
  • the performance of one or more polymers can be enhanced, by dosing the same quantity of polymer as a mixture of solutions with different polymer concentrations.
  • the different polymer concentrations have more than one viscosity. Dosing the polymer in solutions of two different viscosities increases drainage effectiveness compared to dosing it as a solution of one concentration (and hence viscosity).
  • the high viscosity solution forms large and compact floe aggregates as described above.
  • the “overdose effect” described previously is mitigated by the low viscosity solution, because it is easily incorporated into the floe aggregate, producing dense, non-sticky floes.
  • the performance of a star polymer is improved by this dual dosing process.
  • the dual dosing process is even more effective with star polymers than with linear polymers because the difference in viscosity with concentration is more pronounced in star polymers.
  • FIG. 7 specifically illustrates the results of an experiment demonstrating the dual dosing process with a 4-arm star polymer on a sludge sample from a refinery.
  • a fixed quantity of polymer was fed as an equal combination of 0.5% wt solution and a 0.25% wt solution on a product basis. Both polymer solutions were injected into the sludge sample at the same time and mixed with the sludge for the same number of inversions as the base case of 0.5% wt solution alone.
  • FIG. 8 there is shown a prior art feeder system commonly used in the industry for activating polymer into solution.
  • the prior art feeder adds neat polymer product (polymer as stored) and water to a mixing chamber to a desired concentration and then outputs the polymer solution at that concentration (Polymer Solution Output).
  • the prior art feeder includes a primary water input (Water 1) and a secondary water input (Water 2), which is an option for further dilution of the polymer solution, as well as a Polymer Solution Output.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a novel cost effective modification to the feeder system, which allows for use of the dual dosing process with existing feeder systems.
  • this feeder system has a second input pipe ( 912 ) extending the supply of secondary water input ( 902 ) to a second polymer solution output ( 922 ).
  • This second input pipe ( 912 ) allows the contents of the first polymer solution output ( 921 ) to be further diluted into the second polymer solution output ( 922 ).
  • the second input pipe ( 912 ) can be controlled by second valve ( 932 ).
  • the flow of water into the second polymer solution output ( 922 ) can be controlled by a third valve ( 903 ) into a mixing pipe ( 955 ), while the fraction of first polymer solution output ( 921 ) to be diluted can be controlled by a fourth valve ( 904 ) into a fourth pipe ( 914 ) which also feeds into the second polymer solution output ( 922 ).
  • a specified fraction of the first polymer solution output ( 921 ) can be diluted to a known concentration and fed into the application as the second polymer solution output ( 922 ), which is of lower viscosity.
  • the first polymer solution output ( 921 ) and the second polymer solution output ( 922 ) can either be combined into a single stream via a header just prior to the injection point into the suspension to be flocculated, or can be fed as two different streams.
  • the apparatus comprises a polymer input pipe ( 950 )
