Abstract:As a kind of nonionic and water dissoluble polymer, polyethylene oxide (abr. as PEO) with a high molecular weight plays an important role in papermaking. In this paper, a rotary viscometer was employed to investigate the factors which affect the dissolution rate of PEO in water. It was uncovered that the dispersion of PEO in H2O and the diffusion of H2O in PEO particles affect the dissolution rate of PEO obviously. However, the crystalline degree of PEO affects slightly. Although PEO particles with a big size can disperse well in water, H2O molecules cannot permeate easily, as a consequence, it dissolves slowly. In contrast, PEO particles with a small size, H2O can go into particles and swell PEO easily. Comparatively, PEO with a particle size of 40~60 mesh dissolves fast. PEO solution is stable in a basic environment rather than in acid environment, because H+ promotes degradation of PEO. DSC results display that PEO is a partial crystallized polymer, and the dissolution rate of PEO changes less when the crystallinity at a range of 50%~58%. Moreover, dissolution kinetics of PEO shows the dissolution of PEO is a zero-order process, suggesting the dissolution of PEO in water is crucial, and the apparent dissolution activation energy is calculated as 5.2 kJ/mol.
