An aqueous dispersion of an amphoteric water-soluble polymer that is stably storable, easily flowable and good for handling as well as a method of manufacturing the same and its possible applications are provided according to the invention. Such an aqueous dispersion can be effectively used as a treating agent such as a chemical for flocculating and/or dehydrating raw sludge, excess sludge, digested sludge or any mixtures thereof derived from municipal sewage, human waste or general industrial waste water, or as a chemical for separating and treating oil from oil-containing industrial waste water, as a drainage aid, a retention aid, a chemical for recovering useful and valuable substances from white water in the papermaking process. The aqueous dispersion of an amphoteric water-soluble polymer according to the invention is obtained by polymerizing a mixture of monomers comprising a specific cationic monomer and an anionic monomer as essential components with stirring in an aqueous salt solution incapable of dissolving the produced polymer and in the presence of a polymer electrolyte dispersant soluble in said aqueous salt solution. Such an aqueous dispersion is highly effective when the concentration of the produced amphoteric water-soluble polymer in the aqueous dispersion, the concentration of the salt, the concentration of the dispersant, the viscosity of the aqueous dispersion, and the average diameter of the particles of the amphoteric water-soluble polymer in the aqueous dispersion are respectively found within specific ranges.
根据本发明,提供了一种可稳定贮存、易于流动和易于处理的两性水溶性聚合物的水分散液,以及其制造方法和可能的应用。这种水性分散体可有效地用作处理剂,如用于絮凝和/或脱水来自城市污水、人类排泄物或一般工业废水的原污泥、过量污泥、消化污泥或其混合物的化学品,或用作从含油工业废水中分离和处理油的化学品,还可用作排水助剂、滞留助剂、在造纸过程中从白水中回收有用和有价值物质的化学品。根据本发明,两性水溶性聚合物的水性分散体是通过在不能溶解所制得聚合物的水性盐溶液中,在可溶于所述水性盐溶液的聚合物电解质分散剂的存在下,搅拌聚合由特定阳离子单体和阴离子单体作为基本成分的单体混合物而得到的。当所生产的两性水溶性聚合物在水分散液中的浓度、盐的浓度、分散剂的浓度、水分散液的粘度和两性水溶性聚合物颗粒在水分散液中的平均直径分别在特定范围内时,这种水分散液是非常有效的。
