    Abstract:
    In this study, water-soluble anionic and cationic polymers were prepared from sulfuric acid lignin (SAL), an acid hydrolysis lignin, and the relationship between the surface tension of these polymers and industrial performance was examined. The SAL was phenolized (P-SAL) to enhance its solubility and reactivity. Sulfonation and the Mannich reaction with aminocarboxylic acids produced water-soluble anionic polymers and high-dispersibility gypsum paste. The dispersing efficiency increased as the surface tension decreased, suggesting that the fluidity of the gypsum paste increased with the polymer adsorption on the gypsum particle surface. Water-soluble cationic polymers were prepared using the Mannich reaction with dimethylamine. The cationic polymers showed high sizing efficiency under neutral papermaking conditions; the sizing efficiency increased with the surface tension. This suggests that the polymer with high hydrophilicity spread in the water and readily adhered to the pulp surface and the rosin, showing good retention.
