Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lubricating materials, specifically relating to an environmentally friendly polypeptide-based water-based lubricating additive and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial lubrication, water-based lubricants, with their excellent cooling, flame-retardant, high thermal conductivity, and high specific heat capacity, are widely used in metal processing processes such as cutting, grinding, drawing, and rolling, as well as in hydraulic transmission. Compared with oil-based lubricants, water-based lubricants are environmentally friendly, resource-rich, and inexpensive, and are gradually becoming the main products in the metalworking fluid market. Water-based lubrication is essentially in a boundary lubrication state, making it difficult to establish an effective fluid lubrication film. Anti-wear and friction-reducing effects are only achieved through the boundary lubrication film formed on the friction pair surfaces by additives. Therefore, high-performance water-soluble lubricating additives are key to improving the performance of water-based lubricants and expanding their application range.

[0003] Currently, most commercially available water-based friction modifiers are based on commonly used oil-based additives. They improve their solubility in water by adding water-soluble groups to their molecular structure. Therefore, these additives still retain elements such as sulfur and phosphorus, which are prone to environmental pollution, found in oil-based additives. With societal development and increasing public awareness of environmental issues, related policies and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, leading to the gradual restriction of the use of additives with high ecotoxicity and poor biodegradability. In recent years, developing environmentally friendly green lubricating additives using natural products as raw materials has become an important development direction in the field of lubricating materials research.

[0004] This invention relates to a polypeptide extracted from fish processing waste such as fish skin. It is inexpensive and has good water solubility and biodegradability, causing no pollution to the natural environment. It has the potential to become a new type of environmentally friendly water-based lubricant additive. Summary of the Invention

[0011] 2) After pretreatment, BMKX-5 macroporous adsorption resin was packed into a column. 10 g of crude fish skin polypeptide extract was dissolved in 2 BV of water and then loaded onto the column for adsorption. The adsorption residue was discarded.

[0012] 3) Add 10 BV of water, 30% ethanol, and 75% ethanol sequentially to the resin column after adsorption for elution. Collect the corresponding eluents, concentrate and dry them to obtain fish skin polypeptides of different polarities.

[0013] Furthermore, the polypeptide-based water-based lubricating additive of the present invention can be applied to water-glycol lubricating fluid.

[0014] Furthermore, the amount of the polypeptide-based water-based lubricating additive of the present invention is 1 wt% to 3 wt%.

[0015] This invention extracts waste from fish processing, such as fish skin, turning waste into treasure and solving the problem of waste disposal. Simultaneously, it provides a polypeptide-based lubricant additive that can significantly reduce the friction coefficient of water-glycol lubricants, with a minimum reduction of 66.2%.
