Notes:
Aqueous solutions of poly(1,2-dimethyl-5-vinylpyridinium methyl sulfate) have good viscosity stability at neutral or acid pH's at temperatures up to 100°C. Strongly basic solutions have poor viscosity stability even at room temperature. At the same ionic strength the relative effectiveness of three sodium salts in the reduction of polymer intrinsic viscosity was: sodium phosphate 〉 sodium sulfate 〉 sodium chloride. This trend toward lower intrinsic viscosities with increased ionic strength reversed itself at high ionic strengths. This polymer is very effective in the flocculation of 5% aqueous kaolin suspensions as indicated by several hundred-fold increases in the initial settling rates. A study of some of the important variables (polymer adsorption, polymer intrinsic viscosity, and agitation) related to this property is presented. The mechanism of flocculation is discussed.
