摘要
New polymeric dispersing agents designed to stabilize and lower the viscosity of aqueous mineral suspensions have been synthesized and studied. These dispersants are made of a non-ionic hydrosoluble polymer (polyethylene oxide) with a functional group (diphosphonate) having a strong affinity for the mineral surfaces attached at one end of the macromolecular chains. This molecular architecture allows a brush-like adsorption at the solid surface which differs from conventional homopolymer dispersants such as polyacrylates. The adsorption of these dispersants onto calcium carbonate as a model mineral and the rheological behavior of concentrated aqueous colloidal dispersions of CaCO2 particles were studied. Strong adsorption by the polymer chain-end provides an enhanced colloidal stability of the suspensions of CaCO3 particles, The addition of the dispersing polymer causes a deaggregation of the initially flocculated CaCO, particles, which results in a drastic reduction of the viscosity of the concentrated suspensions. Thus, the viscosity of a 20 wt% CaCO3 suspension in water at pH = 11 is lowered to 2 mPa s upon the addition of a low concentration of polymer. Comparison with polyacrylate dispersants shows the advantages of such a diblock macromolecular structure with a non-ionic polymeric part at high solid contents and high ionic strengths.
