Problems solved by technology

However, if a twin-screw extruder with a screw diameter of 135MM is used, the residence time of the spinning solution in the twin-screw extruder is 40.5 minutes. If the residence time is less than 40.5 minutes, polyethylene cannot be uniformly dissolved. If the screw diameter of the twin-screw extruder is greater than 135MM, its length-to-diameter ratio can only be 46 and not more than 52. Therefore, limited by the equipment, the existing twin-screw extruder cannot achieve the purpose of one-step dissolution and uniform mixing
Therefore, it limits the increase in production
In addition, for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with a molecular weight of more than 3 million, if the residence time in the twin-screw extruder is too long and the shear force is large, it is very easy to cause degradation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, thereby affecting to the properties of the final fiber

The method comprises a swelling and dissolving step, a filtering step, a spinning step, a refrigerating and solidifying step, a pre-stretching step, an extracting step, a drying step, an ultra-stretching step and a winding step, wherein the swelling and dissolving step is performed in a kneading machine; and transparent and uniform spinning solution obtained in the swelling and dissolving step is quantitatively fed into a single screw extruder with stirring for extruding. The production method has the advantages of simple preparation method and high yield of over 300 tons / year and is easy to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a production method of polyethylene fibers, in particular to a high-capacity production method for rapidly dissolving ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) to realize high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fibers. Background technique [0002] High-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fiber is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) through gel spinning and super-drawing. The polyethylene macromolecules that were originally intertwined and arranged in disorder are properly unwound by dissolution, and then Super-stretching achieves a very high degree of orientation and crystallinity, so that the fiber has excellent properties such as light weight, softness, high modulus, UV resistance, impact resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and seawater corrosion resistance. [0003] In 1979, the Dutch DSM company applied for a patent (NL7900990, NL7904990 and corresponding US4344908, special public...
