The present invention belongs to the technical field of
polymer materials, and specifically relates to a
vegetable oil-based
carbon dioxide absorbent, its preparation method and antibacterial application. In the present invention,
oleic acid chains or epoxidized
oleic acid chains are introduced onto the molecules of typical amine absorbent polyethyleneimine. The non-polar long
carbon chain fatty acid structure can significantly weaken the
hydrogen bonds between polyethyleneimine molecules, reduce the
intermolecular force, so that more amino groups are exposed to combine with
carbon dioxide, realizing the efficient, high-capacity and low-
energy consumption absorption of
carbon dioxide. In the present invention, the unsaturated carbon-carbon double bonds on the
oleic acid chains are epoxidized and modified, introducing more secondary amines, further improving the carbon dioxide
absorption capacity. Moreover, after absorbing carbon dioxide, the
tertiary amines in the molecular structure are converted into
quaternary ammonium salt ions, endowing it with excellent antibacterial properties, showing excellent antibacterial effects against both
Staphylococcus aureus and
Escherichia coli, and can be used as an
antibacterial agent.
