Abstract

In order to study and develop high-performance surfactant varieties for deinking of wastepaper, we directly synthesize organic acid polyoxyethylene block esters namely "ether and ester type" surfactant using fatty acid and epoxy ethane. And carboxymethylated AEO-9 was synthesized using the chloroacetic acid method. The synthetic products were characterized with infrared spectrometry and the surface properties such as surface activity, foaming, emulsification, solubilization and wettability were studied. The relationship between the structure and the performance was studied. The results showed that the various properties of the novel "ether and ester type" surfactant A-107 synthesized were better than those of Tween-80. The synthesized "ether and ester type" surfactant A-107 was compounded and used in the flotation process of wastepaper deinking. The result showed that when m(modified AEO-9)∶m(AEO-9)∶m(A-107)= 3 ∶2 ∶1, the deinking agent had the best deinking effect, the whiteness of deinked pulp could reach 59.4%, and the residual ink quantity was 51.4 mm2/m2. When compounded and used in the flotation process of wastepaper deinking, the synthesized“ether and ester type” surfactant A-107 had good deinking effect.
