Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical measurement, and in particular relates to a device and a method for synchronously measuring liquid surface tension and liquid-solid contact angle by temperature control. Background Art

[0002] Wetting is a common physical phenomenon, but the degree of wetting of solids by liquids is affected by the type, properties and surface conditions of the liquids and solids. In order to characterize the wetting degree of different liquids on different solids and to further explore the wetting mechanism between liquids and solids, scholars have proposed the concepts of surface tension and contact angle. Measuring the surface tension of different liquids and the contact angle between liquids and solids is very important for mastering the wettability, adhesion, lubricity and diffusivity between liquids and solids. According to the characteristics of different degrees of wetting between liquids and solids, many fields of modern disciplines such as energy, transportation, machinery, civil engineering, chemical engineering, textiles, nanomaterials, biology, and medicine have developed corresponding processes and products. For example, in mineral flotation, whether bubbles can successfully capture mineral particles depends on the wetting ability of suspended particles and liquid environment; in oil extraction, the different wetting properties of two fluids on solid walls are used to displace the liquid to drive the oil; super-hydrophobic nanostructure surface development; research on the ability of artificial biomaterials to infiltrate blood in biomedicine, etc.

[0003] In the field of highway engineering, the use of surface energy theory to evaluate the adhesion between aggregate and asphalt is increasingly accepted and respected by scholars, and the surface tension of liquids and the contact angle between liquids and solids are important parameters in surface energy theory. Related studies have shown that potholes, cracks, local subsidence, looseness and other diseases of asphalt pavement are all related to water damage, and the occurrence of water damage is due to the fact that water molecules are more likely to wet the aggregate surface than asphalt molecules. When the aggregate coated with asphalt is in a water environment for a long time, the water molecules contact and wet the aggregate molecules, replacing the adhesion of asphalt. Therefore, measuring the surface tension of different liquids and the contact angle between liquids and solids can effectively distinguish and evaluate the adhesion and surface energy between liquids and solids, and thus has important engineering significance for selecting more hydrophobic aggregates and more lithophilic asphalt.

[0004] At present, there are many methods for measuring liquid surface tension and liquid-solid contact angle, such as capillary rise method, maximum bubble pressure method, hanging ring method, hanging sheet method, drop shape method, drop weight or drop volume method, pull-off method, surface light scattering method, electromagnetic suspension method, oscillating jet method, capillary wave method, etc. Among them, the drop shape method is favored by people because of its simple principle, intuitive results, easy-to-master method, and precise instruments and equipment on the market. However, it also has the defects of very few types of liquids that can be measured, expensive instruments and equipment, high requirements for drop shape, high requirements for shockproof level, difficult to control test temperature, inability to directly measure surface tension γ, and weak measurement of viscous liquids. For this reason, many patents have proposed unique improved methods and optimized test devices based on this method, but most of them are based on image shooting and post-image processing technology to obtain the liquid-solid contact angle, and the accuracy is relatively low. At the same time, there are very few patents based on the hanging sheet method to study liquid surface tension and liquid-solid contact angle, and no advanced radar or ultrasonic ranging technology has been introduced.

[0005] The hanging sheet method is based on the measurement of liquid surface tension and liquid-solid contact angle, which has the advantages of simple principle, easy operation, temperature control, applicability to a variety of solutions, easy calculation of surface tension γ, and low requirements for external conditions. In the past, there were few instruments related to the hanging sheet method, most of which relied on imported equipment, and the price of these equipment was high, completely discarding the advantages of the hanging sheet method. At the same time, most equipment still uses image capture and post-image processing technology to measure the liquid-solid contact angle, which not only has low measurement accuracy, but is also extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the invention

[0046] Example

[0047] Reference Figure 1The water bath 16 in the device for synchronously measuring liquid surface tension and liquid-solid contact angle by temperature control of this embodiment is the main bearing structure. The overall structure of the water bath 16 is made of tempered glass and is transparent.

The motor controller 6 can control the motor 5 to rotate forward or reverse. The thin wire 3 is used to suspend the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested and the dynamometer 2, and the dynamometer 2 is used to read the tension value of the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested after being immersed in the liquid 4 to be tested; the temperature control system includes a heater 12, a temperature sensor and a temperature controller 11, and the heater 12 and the temperature sensor are arranged in a water bath 16, and are respectively used to heat the liquid in the water bath 16 and to measure the temperature of the liquid in the water bath 16; the heater 12 and the temperature sensor are both connected to the temperature controller 11.

[0048] It should be noted that the tempered glass box 16 of the water bath is provided with a liquid inlet at the top and a liquid outlet at the bottom. During the test, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are sealed with a rubber plug; the laser radar ranging scanner 8 is the main equipment for measuring the contact angle between liquid and solid. It has a fast scanning function. When the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested is immersed in the liquid 4 to be tested to the 3 marking lines on it, the laser radar ranging scanners 8 on both sides are turned on at the same time for fast scanning; the motor 5 adopts a micro forward and reverse speed-controlled motor, and the motor controller 6 provides power for the motor 5 and controls its opening and closing and forward and reverse rotation. The motor controller 6 should be set to 2 Buttons, one controls the start and stop of the motor 5, and the other controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 5 (press once for forward rotation, and press once again for reverse rotation); the temperature controller 11 can control the heating and insulation temperature of the heater 12 according to the temperature information collected by the temperature sensor. The temperature controller 11 is provided with an electronic display screen and at least two buttons (i.e., an upward temperature adjustment button and a downward temperature adjustment button), which can adjust the temperature of the liquid in the water bath, and can automatically start heating or insulation according to the set temperature. The power supply connected to it is 220V AC, and the power supply has a switch to control the power-on status.

[0049] The dynamometer 2 is a digital display dynamometer, the liquid holding box 14 is made of a copper plate of 1-2 mm, and a mark is made inside the liquid holding box 14 at 100 mm from the inner bottom surface so as not to affect the radar scanning. The liquid holding box 14 can hold emulsified asphalt, color paint, ink and other liquids, and the liquid level of the liquid is controlled to always be at the designated box mark. The support column 13 is a tempered glass column or metal column with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 150 mm. The thin wire 3 is a thin and soft metal wire with a diameter of 1mm. The length of the thin wire connected to the upper part of the electronic digital dynamometer should be sufficient to suspend the electronic digital dynamometer over 20mm from the motor. The length of the thin wire connected to the lower part of the electronic digital dynamometer should be able to control the bottom surface of the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested to be at least 2mm away from the liquid surface to be tested, and can bear the weight of the electronic digital dynamometer and the solid hanging piece to be tested; the solid hanging piece to be tested is a rectangular structure with a length, width and height of 10mm×2mm×20mm. There are two circular holes with a diameter of 1.5mm at 4mm from the top surface, and the spacing between the circular holes is 3mm. After the thin wire is inserted, it is connected to the dynamometer to form a stable triangular shape, and three marking lines are made across the entire length of the hanging piece at 1mm, 3mm and 5mm from the bottom surface of the hanging piece respectively; the electronic digital dynamometer should have the function of displaying the tension value with an accuracy of at least 0.01N and setting the tension to zero; the solid of the solid hanging piece to be tested can be materials such as rock, metal and rubber. The motor 5 should satisfy the requirement that the thin wire can rise or fall at a speed of 2mm / min; the power supply of the motor 5 adopts a DC rechargeable power supply, which can be a 12V or 24V low-voltage power supply. The length, width and height of the outer dimensions of the laser radar ranging scanner 8 are within 110mm×70mm×80mm, the minimum range should be within 150mm, the single ranging time is within 1ms, the ranging resolution is within 0.5mm, the scanning frequency is above 10Hz, the scanning angle range is adjustable, the angle resolution is less than 1°, and the working environment temperature should be above 50°C. If the temperature of the heated liquid is high, heat dissipation measures can be taken. Since the infiltration height of the liquid on the solid is small, the rotation angle of the laser radar ranging scanner 8 is generally within ±2°, which is basically perpendicular to the extension section 16-2, so the refraction problem of the tempered glass can be ignored. In addition, in order to avoid the influence of the refractive index to a greater extent, the thickness of the tempered glass slightly larger than the size range of the laser head (such as 10mm×10mm) facing the laser head of the laser radar ranging scanner 8 can also be thinned to about 1mm, and the thickness needs to be thinned from the side of the laser radar ranging scanner, and the inner wall of the liquid tank to be measured needs to be smooth. If you want to completely avoid the influence of the glass refractive index, you can drill a hole in the tempered glass facing the laser head, the hole size needs to be slightly larger than the size range of the laser head (such as 10mm×10mm), and paste or set a transparent thin plastic film.

[0050] The method for temperature-controlled synchronous measurement of liquid surface tension and liquid-solid contact angle of this embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0051] 1. Make a solid hanging piece 1 to be tested with a size of 10mm×2mm×20mm, and punch two round holes with a diameter of 1.5mm at 4mm on its top surface, with a spacing of 3mm. Care should be taken to avoid the thin piece from breaking, otherwise it should be remade, and then inserted with a thin wire 3, and hung on an electronic digital dynamometer (set the value of the dynamometer to zero before hanging, and the electronic digital dynamometer can use an EP brand NK / SF digital push-pull dynamometer), ensure that when the thin wire 3 is lifted, the lower part of the thin wire 3 is in a triangular shape, and the bottom surface of the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested is horizontal and the side is vertical, and then record the tension G at this time;

[0052] 2. Open the liquid inlet on the top of the water bath 16, add water to the bottom of the groove where the laser radar range scanner 8 is located, and then add the liquid to be tested 4 to the mark 100mm away from the inner bottom surface of the liquid to be tested container 14. When the liquid to be tested 4 is added close to the mark, use a rubber dropper to titrate;

[0053] 3. Debug the running condition of motor 5 (Zhengke brand ZGB37RG model DC micro low-speed forward and reverse adjustable speed motor) and the working condition of motor controller 6, and ensure the accurate control of the buttons of motor controller 6. If both are running well, suspend the bottom surface of the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested 2mm away from the liquid surface of the liquid 4 to be tested, and make the motor 5 in the power-on state. Otherwise, check and solve the existing problems to ensure that the requirements are met before testing;

[0054] 4. Debug the working conditions of the computer 7 and the laser radar ranging scanners 8 (Slam brand LIDAR laser A1 radar 360° scanning ranging ROS robot slam, with control drawing function) on both sides of the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested, and wait for them to draw the same ranging curve to prove that they are running well. Otherwise, find out the cause and solve the problem until the requirements are met, and then put both of them in the power-on state for testing and control;

[0055] 5. Debug the heater 12, the temperature controller 11 (KEYU-QIAN temperature-controlled 304 stainless steel heating rod) and the AC power supply 10 to ensure that the heater 12 can work normally, the temperature controller 11 can set the temperature well, and automatically start the heating or insulation system. The AC power supply 10 uses 220V AC and has a switch to control the power-on status. Otherwise, find out the cause and solve the problem until the requirements are met, then set it to the test temperature and start the heater 12 for heating;

[0056] 6. Use an infrared temperature measuring gun (Xima brand AS model infrared handheld temperature measuring gun) to measure the temperature of the liquid 4 to be tested. After reaching the standard temperature, start the motor 5 to lower the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested. When the liquid level of the liquid 4 to be tested reaches the 3 marking lines of the solid hanging piece 1 to be tested, turn on the laser radar range scanner 8 to scan, and draw the infiltration curve on the computer. At the same time, read and record the reading of the electronic digital display dynamometer 2. When the measurement of the 3 marking lines is completed, press the reverse button of the motor controller 6 to measure the infiltration curve and tension value at the 3 marking lines when exiting again, and then turn off the motor power supply to stop heating;

[0057] 7. Perform nonlinear fitting on the wetting curves drawn by the two laser radar ranging scanners 8 to obtain the fitting equation y=f(x), and find the first derivative y′=f′(x). Calculate y′ when x=0 to obtain y′=f′(0)=tanθ. If the error of f′(0) obtained by the two laser radar ranging scanners is within 1%, and the error of the f′(0) parameter measured when the lines are marked at 3 locations should be within 0.1%, then take the average of these f′(0) as the final liquid-solid contact angle θ. Otherwise, find and solve the cause and re-measure. For example, in one measurement and fitting, the following equation is obtained:

[0058] y=-2.963x 3 +41.758x 2 -193.7x+301.25

[0059] Then taking its first derivative we can get:

[0060] y′=-2.963x 3 +41.758x 2 -193.7

[0061] When x = 0, y′ = -193.7 = arctanθ, then the liquid-solid contact angle θ = 89.7°;

[0062] 8. When testing the surface tension of the liquid, first read the gravity value of the hanging piece, recorded as G, and then read the tension value of the electronic digital dynamometer when the liquid surface is 1mm, 3mm and 5mm away from the bottom of the hanging piece, respectively F1, F2, F3, and the corresponding immersion areas are A1, A2, A3. The tension value F is the product of the liquid surface tension γ, the immersion area A and the buoyancy F of the hanging piece. f Joint decision means:

[0063] F=G+γ*AF f

[0064] Different liquids to be tested have different densities ρ. For the same liquid, the hanging pieces with different immersion depths have different immersion volumes, corresponding to V1, V2, and V3. According to the following formula

[0065] F f =ρgV

[0066] It can be seen that the corresponding buoyancy is F f1 、F f2 、F f3 , then the corresponding surface tension values ​​calculated when the liquid surface is 1mm, 3mm and 5mm away from the bottom of the hanging piece are:

[0067]

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] Since γ1, γ2, and γ3 are all surface tension values ​​of the liquid, the surface tension of the liquid should be the average of the three, that is:

[0071]

[0072] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0073] 1. Ability to control the temperature during measurement. The surface tension of liquid varies at different temperatures, which will also affect the contact angle between liquid and solid. Being able to control the measurement of surface tension and contact angle at different temperatures has great engineering and practical significance.

[0074] 2. It can simultaneously test the surface tension of liquid and the contact angle between liquid and solid. Currently, few instruments can simultaneously test surface tension and contact angle, and the few instruments that can simultaneously test both are relatively expensive;

[0075] 3. The device is designed based on the hanging sheet method which has many advantages. The hanging sheet method has the advantages of simple principle, relatively simple operation, controllable temperature, applicable to a variety of solutions, easy calculation of surface tension γ and low requirements for external conditions. At present, most test instruments rely on the drop shape method, and there are few instruments relying on the hanging sheet method;

[0076] 4. Wide range of applications. It can accurately measure the surface tension of various liquids, such as emulsified asphalt, color paint, ink and other liquids, and can accurately measure the contact angle between various liquids and various solids. The types of solids that can be measured include rocks, metals, rubber and other materials;

[0077] 5. High measurement accuracy. The electronic digital dynamometer should have a displayed tension value accuracy of at least 0.01N, the calculated surface tension accuracy of 0.01N / m, the laser radar ranging scanner ranging resolution within 0.5mm, and the calculated contact angle error is small, with an accuracy of 0.1°.

[0078] 6. The measurement has high stability, good repeatability, fast measurement speed, relatively simple principle and structure, easy to master, low cost, and the cost can be basically controlled within 2,000 yuan.
