The invention discloses an alkaline microcapsule, a preparation method thereof and application of the alkaline microcapsule in waste
grease-based insulating oil, and belongs to the technical field of insulating oil preparation, the method comprises the following steps: homogenizing and dispersing an emulsifier, a water-soluble
organic base and a non-polar
organic solvent to obtain an
emulsion; slowly adding a
wall material monomer, stirring and reacting, collecting the microcapsule, and repeatedly washing and
drying in vacuum to obtain an alkaline microcapsule; the water-soluble
organic base is wrapped by the non-polar
organic solvent to form tiny water-in-oil liquid drops; on an oil-water interface, the water-soluble
organic base promotes
hydrolysis and
polymerization of the
wall material monomer, a shell is formed on the outer layer of the water-in-oil
liquid drop, the water-soluble organic base is wrapped, and the microcapsule is formed. The insulating oil is high in specific surface area, high in
alkalinity and excellent in adsorption performance, high-acid-value waste
grease is used as a
raw material, alkali refining is not conducted through alkali liquor, free
fatty acid and impurities in the waste
grease are directly adsorbed through the alkaline microcapsules, and the insulating oil with the
acid value,
dielectric loss,
breakdown voltage and other physicochemical indexes reaching the standard is obtained.
