The invention provides a binary retention
system for a spherical
polyelectrolyte brush for improving the
retention rate of paper pulp. The binary retention
system is composed of a cationic spherical
polyelectrolyte brush and anionic
polyacrylamide, wherein the cationic spherical
polyelectrolyte brush regards SiO2 as an inner core and a
copolymer of
acrylamide and methacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl
ammonium chloride as an outer brush. The invention further provides a method for improving the
retention rate by using the binary retention
system. The method comprises: sequentially adding the binary retention system composed of the cationic spherical polyelectrolyte brush and anionic
polyacrylamide into scattered paper pulp to improve the
retention rate of the
slurry. The cationic spherical polyelectrolyte brush provided by the invention has high symmetric or quasi-symmetric structures, so that the anti-shear ability is relatively strong. The system has both the characteristics of a highly branched structure and high
charge density and is easily to induce
flocculation in high speed
papermaking so as to improve the retention performance of a modern
papermaking system. The binary system adopted by the invention remarkably improves the retention rate of the paper pulp and is simple and convenient to operate and less in use level of auxiliaries.
