Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal color change indication, and relates to a xylenol orange functionalized polyvinyl alcohol fiber base indicator and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Color-changing fiber materials refer to fibers with a special structure that can change their color when exposed to external environmental stimuli such as changes in pH, light, temperature or pressure. Color-changing fiber is a type of smart fiber and has potential practical application value in special clothing, packaging, protection, monitoring, sensors, military shelters and other fields.

[0003] At present, people still rely mainly on large-scale instrument analysis for heavy metal detection. Although large-scale instrument analysis is more accurate, it requires sampling, storage, pretreatment and other processes in advance, which is cumbersome and prone to various errors. In addition, sewage is distributed over a wide range. If it is fully tested, the workload is huge and the cost is high. Existing equipment with real-time sewage monitoring function has a limited scope of application, complex equipment, high price and complex maintenance. Therefore, people are eager to prepare convenient, fast and low-cost real-time sewage testing materials to solve the above contradictions.

[0004] Xylenol orange (XO) is a common complex indicator, which shows red when complexed with metals such as zinc, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, copper, iron, mercury, indium, lanthanides, nickel, lead, scandium, thorium, zirconium, thallium, uranium (VI), and vanadium. Although traditional small molecule indicators have advantages such as high sensitivity and significant color change, they cannot be separated from the solution, and for systems with high requirements, they will cause certain pollution to the solution after measurement. In addition, some metal indicators are expensive and the preparation process is complicated, and their disadvantage of being difficult to recycle increases the application cost of these small molecule indicators. In recent years, in order to reduce environmental pollution and the application cost of metal indicators, more and more scholars have used different methods to immobilize small molecule metal indicators on various carriers to achieve the recycling of indicators.

[0005] Polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA fiber for short) is a synthetic fiber made of high-quality polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with high polymerization degree as raw material and processed by specific advanced technology. It has the advantages of high strength, high modulus, low elongation, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and good weather resistance. In addition, polyvinyl alcohol fiber contains a large number of chemically active hydroxyl groups inside and on the surface. These hydroxyl groups can be converted into a variety of other functional groups through simple chemical methods, and these functional groups can be used as bridging bonds for immobilized small molecule metal indicators.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the problems of existing small molecule metal indicators that cannot be recycled, pollute the environment, and have high costs, the present invention proposes an application of xylenol orange functionalized polyvinyl alcohol fiber as a metal indicator. The carrier of the metal indicator is cheap and easy to obtain, the preparation process is simple, the color change is significant, the cost is low, and the cycle performance is good. It is a new type of solid-supported metal ion color change indicator. In order to combine the advantages of xylenol orange and polyvinyl alcohol fiber, the present invention immobilizes xylenol orange on polyvinyl alcohol fiber and uses it to detect heavy metal ions in solution. The solid indicator has a simple preparation method, significant color change, and also shows excellent recycling performance, and has good industrial application value.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

The obtained fiber is washed with distilled water until the filtrate does not show color under ultraviolet light, and then dried to obtain the dimethyl phenol orange functionalized polyvinyl alcohol fiber PVAF-XO.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (1), 60 mL of distilled water is required based on 1 g of polyvinyl alcohol fiber.

[0016] Furthermore, the reflux reaction time in step (1) is 2-10 h.

[0017] Furthermore, the temperature of the distilled water used for washing in step (1) and step (2) is 55-75°C.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (2), based on 0.5 g of pretreated polyvinyl alcohol fiber, the amount of tetrasodium dimethyl cresol orange used is 0.5-1.5 g, the amount of concentrated phosphoric acid used is 0.5-1.5 mL, and 30 mL of distilled water is required.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (2), the reflux time under magnetic stirring is 4-8 h.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention, and those skilled in the art in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments based on the content of the above invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The preparation method of xylenol orange functionalized polyvinyl alcohol fiber PVAF-XO in this embodiment is as follows:

[0031] (1) Pretreatment of commercial polyvinyl alcohol fiber: 5.0 g of commercial polyvinyl alcohol fiber was placed in a 500 mL round-bottom flask containing 300 mL of distilled water. After reflux for 5 h under magnetic stirring, the fiber was filtered and rinsed with 200 mL of 65°C distilled water. After washing, the fiber was dried in a drying oven at 60°C for later use.

[0032] (2) Add 0.5 g of pretreated polyvinyl alcohol fiber into a 100 mL round-bottom flask, then add 1.0 g of tetrasodium xylenol orange, 1 mL of concentrated phosphoric acid and 30 mL of distilled water. After reflux for 5 h under magnetic stirring, filter and collect the filtrate for the preparation of the next batch of fibers. After the reaction, the fiber is washed with 65 °C distilled water until the filtrate does not show color under ultraviolet light. Finally, it is dried in a drying oven at 60 °C for 12 h to obtain xylenol orange functionalized polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVAF-XO).

[0033] The xylenol orange functionalized polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVAF-XO) was applied to Zn 2+ The detection was carried out according to the following scheme.

[0034] 0.05 g PVAF-XO was placed in 5 mL Zn 2+ In the ionic solution, the color change of the fiber was observed within 10 min.

[0035] The experimental results are as follows Figure 2-4 PVAF-XO has excellent ion selectivity, which is only for Zn 2+ Appears purple, for water and other metal ions such as Pb 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Ni 2+ Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ , Fe 3+ All show the original yellow color of PVAF-XO ( Figure 2 ).

[0036] PVAF-XO to Zn 2+ The detection limit is low. It can turn purple to zinc ion solutions above 0.05 mol / L. Moreover, PVAF-XO can still respond to 0.004 mol / L zinc ions, but due to the low zinc ion concentration, the surface of PVAF-XO is slightly red ( Figure 3 ).

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, PVAF-XO in 1.0 mol / L Zn2+ The solution can be recycled at least 8 times. After 1-6 cycles, PVAF-XO turns purple; after 7-8 cycles, PVAF-XO turns purple-red.

[0038] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention are intended to be illustrative and not to limit the protection scope of the present invention in any form. Those skilled in the art may make improvements based on the above examples, and all these improvements belong to the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
