Use of dispersion polymers for coated broke treatment

A process for treating a repulped coated broke slurry which comprises adding to such slurry a water soluble dispersion polymer at a level of from 0.2 to 10 pounds polymer contained in such dispersion per ton of total broke solids, said water soluble dispersion polymer containing:

• A. from about 5 to about 100 mole percent of a monomer represented by Formula I:
• ##STR7## wherein R.sub.1 is H or CH.sub.3 ;
• each of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
• A is an oxygen atom or NH;
• B is an alkylene group having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms or a hydroxypropylene group;
• and X.sup.- is an inorganic anionic counterion;
• B. from about about 0 to about 50 mole percent of a second water soluble cationic monomer;
• and,
• C. from about 0 to about 95 mole percent (meth)acrylamide;
• and wherein said water soluble polymer is prepared in an aqueous solution of a polyvalent anion salt in the presence of from 1 to 10% by weight based on the total weight of monomers A, B, and C of an organic high molecular weight multivalent cation comprising a water soluble polymer containing at least 20 mole percent of:
• a) either at least one monomer represented by Formula II:
• ##STR8## wherein R.sub.4 is H or CH.sub.3 ;
• each of R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 is an alkyl group having from 1 to 2 carbon atoms;
• R.sub.7 is H or an alkyl group having from 1 to 2 carbon atoms;
• A' is an oxygen atom or NH;
• B' is an alkylene group of 2 to 4 carbon atoms or a hydroxypropylene group;
• and X.sup.- is an anionic counterion;
• or,
• b) an alkyl ester of acrylic acid.
