Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of polymer material synthesis and preparation, and particularly relates to a method for recycling low-concentration skim latex in the process of preparing artificial latex. Background Art
[0002] Medical latex products, due to contact with the human body, have high performance requirements and many limiting factors. They are strictly restricted latex products. They have high requirements for rubber properties including mechanical properties, air permeability, softness, etc., and have strict restrictions on protein content. At present, the latex raw materials widely used in latex products include PVC latex, natural latex, synthetic latex, etc.; among them, PVC latex products have high strength and low price, but poor air permeability and insufficient softness; natural latex has good flexibility and high strength, but casein in natural latex is easy to cause allergic reactions, and it is very difficult to remove protein from natural latex; synthetic latex such as chloroprene, nitrile, and styrene-butadiene latex adopt free radical polymerization, and the stereoregularity of the polymer structure is poor and the gel content is high, and the mechanical properties and flexibility of its products are greatly different.
[0003] By polymerizing isoprene monomers with rare earths, polyisoprene rubber with a structure similar to natural rubber can be obtained. Artificial polyisoprene rubber imitating natural latex can be prepared by post-emulsification, which does not contain protein and has various properties close to natural latex. Chinese patent CN201210332915.3 discloses a method for directly preparing polyisoprene latex using polyisoprene glue. The method uses an active anion solution polymerization method to prepare polyisoprene glue with different molecular weights and narrow distributions, and then prepares artificial latex through emulsification, desolvation of polyisoprene crude latex, and centrifugal concentration. Chinese patent ZL116891543A discloses a method for preparing artificial latex using a parallel-series continuous kettle distillation method, which greatly simplifies the process flow. The above inventions all adopt the four steps of emulsification, continuous distillation, reduced pressure distillation and centrifugal concentration of rubber liquid to obtain high-concentration artificial latex, but at the same time produce a large amount of low-concentration skim latex. If it is directly recycled instead of the emulsifier aqueous solution, the prepared latex particle size is too large, resulting in poor latex stability and unqualified products. How to deal with and recycle low-concentration skim latex is a thorny problem in the industry. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] Comparative Example 1: Production process of low-concentration skim latex as a byproduct of artificial latex The method disclosed in Chinese patent ZL201210332915.3 is used to prepare artificial latex, which specifically includes: Sol preparation: a certain amount of rare earth isoprene rubber is added to hexane, stirred and refluxed at 55°C for 14 hours to dissolve, and a rubber glue solution with a rubber solid content of 8% is prepared; 1% sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, 1.5% potassium disproportionate rosin acid, 0.5% Tween 80 and the balance deionized water are added to the container in sequence according to the mass ratio, and the pH is adjusted to 12 with KOH to obtain an emulsifier aqueous solution; Emulsification process: the rubber glue and the emulsifier aqueous solution are mixed and emulsified synchronously in a mass ratio of 1:1. Specifically, at room temperature, 1 / 3 of the emulsifier aqueous solution is first added to the rubber glue for pre-emulsification, and stirred at a speed of 450r / min for 45 minutes to form an oil-in-water pre-emulsified glue; then the remaining emulsifier aqueous solution is slowly added, and shear emulsification is performed at the same time, and emulsification is performed at a shear speed of 3500rpm for 4 minutes; the shear speed is continued to be increased for shear homogenization, and homogenization is performed at a shear speed of 4500rpm for 7 minutes to form a stable water-in-oil crude emulsion; Distillation to remove solvent: A two-stage method is used to remove solvent from the crude emulsion. First, atmospheric distillation is performed at a distillation temperature of 71°C and an average residence time of 7 hours to remove 85% of the total solvent. Then, vacuum distillation is performed at 80°C and 60KPa for 1 hour to remove residual solvent and obtain a dilute emulsion that is almost free of solvent. Centrifugal concentration: The dilute emulsion is subjected to high-speed centrifugation, with the centrifugal speed set at 6000 rpm and the centrifugal time set at 20 min, to prepare a high-concentration artificial latex with a solid content of 50%, and at the same time obtain a by-product of low-concentration skim latex.
[0022] Comparative Test Example 1 High Concentration Artificial Latex Particle Size Test The particle size of the high-concentration artificial latex prepared in Comparative Example 1 was tested using a laser particle size analyzer.
[0023] After testing, the average particle size of the high-concentration artificial latex prepared in this comparative example is 800nm.
[0024] Comparative Test Example 2 Analysis of skim latex characteristic parameters (1) Skim latex content test: Weigh 10g of skim latex and place it in an oven to heat at 105℃. Measure the weight every 10 minutes until the value remains unchanged after three consecutive measurements. After constant weight is obtained, record the weight of the evaporation residue and compare it with the weight of the skim latex before evaporation to obtain the skim latex solid content value. The skim latex solid content of many batches is between 3.1% and 3.5% (mass ratio), which includes rubber and emulsifier. Then wash the evaporation residue with 50g of ethanol three times and dry it at 105℃ to constant weight. Compare it with the weight of the skim latex before evaporation to obtain the rubber solid content value in the skim latex. The rubber content in many batches of skim latex is between 1.1% and 1.5% (mass ratio).

Specifically, at room temperature, first add 1 / 3 of the compound glue clear water solution to the rubber glue for pre-emulsification, and stir at a speed of 400r / min for 30min to form an oil-in-water pre-emulsified glue solution; then slowly add the remaining compound glue clear water solution and shear emulsify at the same time, emulsify at a shear speed of 3000rpm for 3min; continue to increase the shear speed for shear homogenization, and homogenize at a shear speed of 4000rpm for 5min to form a stable water-in-oil crude emulsion; Distillation to remove solvent: A two-stage method is used to remove solvent from the crude emulsion. First, atmospheric distillation is performed at a distillation temperature of 45°C and an average residence time of 7 hours to remove 80% of the total solvent. Then, vacuum distillation is performed at 60°C and 60KPa for 1 hour to remove residual solvent and obtain a dilute emulsion that is almost free of solvent. High-speed centrifugal concentration: The dilute emulsion was subjected to high-speed centrifugation, with the centrifugal speed set at 6000 rpm and the centrifugal time set at 5 min to prepare a high-concentration artificial latex with a solid content of 55%.
