Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of emulsion, and particularly relates to a kind of anti-icing deicing Pickering emulsion and its preparation and application method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Wind energy as a sustainable renewable clean energy is increasingly valued by the state, the latest data shows that during 2006-2017, the average annual growth rate of wind power installed capacity in China reached 46%. In 2019, China's power supply structure continues to transform to green and low carbon, non-fossil energy power generation installed capacity and power generation capacity have maintained rapid growth. At present, the wind energy resource rich areas in China are mainly located in "three north", coastal and inland mountainous areas, since the south wind resource rich areas are basically in the alpine and humid regions, cold and humid in winter, often encounter icing disasters. The icing of wind turbine blades seriously affects the safety and reliability of wind turbine power supply, thereby causing the problems of wind turbine power generation capacity decline, wind speed and temperature measurement values are underestimated and service life is reduced. In addition, during the operation of the wind turbine, the ice on the surface of the blade melts, and the large ice is thrown off from the blade, which is easy to cause safety hazards. Therefore, it is urgent to develop reliable and efficient wind turbine anti-icing and deicing technology to solve the problem of icing on the surface of the wind turbine.

[0003] The coating anti-icing and deicing technology refers to coating a coating with hydrophobic property on the surface of the wind turbine blade to make the supercooled water droplets difficult to adhere to the surface of the wind turbine blade to achieve the effect of anti-icing and deicing. This method does not need the system to provide additional energy, and the damage to the environment is relatively small, can be applied in the running wind farm and the construction is simple, and is favored by wind power operating enterprises. Since its adhesion and wear resistance are weak, the coating is easy to be worn or fall off when the blade rotates at high speed. In addition, for the wind turbine blade anti-icing and deicing relying only on the coating with hydrophobic property, the function is relatively single, especially for the wind turbine blade which has been iced.

[0004] The multifunctional coating with hydrophobic, photothermal and electrothermal conversion properties can effectively realize the surface anti-icing and deicing of the wind turbine blade. Among them, carbon black has attracted great attention in the field of preparing multifunctional coating due to its low price, high blackness and tinting power, high electrical conductivity and excellent photothermal conversion performance, and is widely used in wind turbine blade anti-icing and deicing. Although carbon black itself has good hydrophobicity, but after drying and curing of the coating, it is difficult for carbon black to form a micro-nano rough structure with low surface energy, so that the water contact angle of the coating is not ideal, which affects the anti-icing effect of the wind turbine blade. In addition, since carbon black has a large specific surface area, it is easy to agglomerate during the preparation of the coating, and it is difficult to uniformly disperse in various solvent systems, thereby causing poor photothermal conversion and electrothermal conversion effect of the coating. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to overcome the problems of single function and poor effect of the existing ice-proof and de-icing technology for the coating of wind turbine blades, the application provides an ice-proof and de-icing Pickering emulsion and a preparation and application method thereof. The prepared Pickering emulsion can be used for the ice-proof and de-icing coating of wind turbine blades. In order to achieve the above purpose, the application provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A preparation method of an ice-proof and de-icing Pickering emulsion, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Surface modification of carbon black: disperse the carbon black in a strong acid solution, heat and stir; then collect the modified carbon black filter cake by suction filtration, repeatedly wash and suction filter 4-6 times with deionized water to remove excess acid; finally, transfer the carbon black filter cake to a vacuum oven for drying;

[0008] (2) Preparation of Pickering emulsion stabilized by modified carbon black: disperse the modified carbon black into water to prepare a carbon black suspension; then dissolve a non-ionic surfactant in the carbon black suspension; pre-disperse the carbon black suspension by ultrasonic for 2-3 hours and reserve it as the water phase of the Pickering emulsion; select PDMS prepolymer as the oil phase of the Pickering emulsion; then mix the PDMS prepolymer and the carbon black suspension according to the oil-water volume ratio, stir to make it homogeneous; then add a silane coupling agent thereto, stir at 200-300 rpm for 1-2 hours to obtain the Pickering emulsion.

[0009] In the step (1), the carbon black filter cake is transferred to a vacuum oven at 90-110°C for drying for 6-8 hours.

[0010] In the step (1), after the carbon black is dispersed in the strong acid solution, heat to 30-50°C, stir at 200-300 rpm for 1-2 hours.

[0011] In the step (1), as a preferred, the carbon black is dispersed in the strong acid solution at a concentration of 0.1-0.3 g / mL.

[0012] In the step (1), as a preferred, the concentration of the strong acid solution is 1-3 mol / L.

[0013] In the step (1), as a preferred, the type of the strong acid solution is hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or nitric acid.

[0014] In the step (2), as a preferred, the concentration of the carbon black in the carbon black suspension is 0.01-0.03 g / mL.

[0015] In the step (2), as a preferred, the non-ionic surfactant is Glucopon 650EC, TERGITOL CA-90, Span 80, which is used to improve the dispersibility of carbon black in water and to play a synergistic emulsification effect with carbon black in preparing Pickering emulsion.

[0016] In the step (2), as a preferred, the non-ionic surfactant is dissolved in the carbon black suspension at a concentration of 0.001-0.003 g / mL.

[0017] In the step (2), the PDMS prepolymer is Dow Corning Sylgard 184, in which the mass ratio of the base component to the curing agent in the PDMS prepolymer is 10:1.

[0018] In the step (2), as a preferred, the oil-water volume ratio of the Pickering emulsion is 1:1, 1:2, 1:3.

[0019] In the step (2), as a preferred, the homogenization time of the Pickering emulsion is 3-5 min, and the rotation speed is 14000-18000 rpm.

[0020] In the step (2), the Pickering emulsion is an oil-in-water emulsion with stable properties.

[0021] In the step (2), as a preferred, the silane coupling agent is methyltrimethoxysilane, γ-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, or hexadecyltrimethoxysilane.

[0022] In the step (2), as a preferred, the silane coupling agent is added to the Pickering emulsion at a concentration of 0.01-0.03 g / mL.

[0023] An application method of an anti-icing and de-icing Pickering emulsion, the surface of the object to be treated is washed and then dried; then the Pickering emulsion prepared above is transferred to the surface of the object, and a coating with a thickness of 0.5 mm is coated on the surface of the object using a doctor blade, and then the object is transferred to an oven for curing, and a coating is obtained on the surface of the object.

[0024] In the application method, the object is a wind turbine blade, the washing is performed 3-6 times with ethanol, the oven temperature is 50-80℃, and the curing time is 2-4 h.

[0025] The present application proposes a Pickering emulsion interface assembly strategy, by selecting hydrophilic modified carbon black as the stable particle of Pickering emulsion, using sulfuric acid to modify the surface of carbon black to give the carbon black surface rich functional groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl), and at the same time has good amphiphilicity, for the subsequent hydrophobic modification of carbon black. Then dispersed in water as the water phase of Pickering emulsion, the prepolymer of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the oil phase of Pickering emulsion, under the action of mechanical shear force, the modified carbon black can be oriented and densely assembled at the oil-water interface of the emulsion, so as to obtain stable oil-in-water Pickering emulsion. Further, the carbon black at the oil-water interface of the Pickering emulsion is hydrophobically modified by using silane coupling agent, the rich hydroxyl functional groups on the surface of carbon black will react with the silane coupling agent, and the reacted carbon black can obtain lower surface energy. Finally, the multifunctional Pickering emulsion prepared is coated on the surface of the wind turbine blade, and the emulsion breaks during drying and curing. The water phase in the Pickering emulsion will gradually volatilize during heating, while the PDMS in the oil phase will spread on the surface of the wind turbine blade first, and then solidify on the surface of the blade. During the whole drying and curing process, the modified carbon black is fixed on the surface of PDMS and does not enter the interior of PDMS, thereby forming a superhydrophobic coating with a micro-nano rough structure.

[0026] By selecting carbon black with good hydrophobicity as the electrothermal and photothermal conversion unit, based on the good hydrophobicity, excellent photothermal conversion and electrothermal conversion effect of carbon black, the wind turbine blade ice prevention and removal can be effectively solved. The key to realizing the preparation of multifunctional coating lies in that the carbon black forms a micro-nano rough structure with low surface energy on the surface of the blade after the coating is dried and cured.

[0027] Therefore, the multifunctional Pickering emulsion prepared for wind turbine blade ice prevention and removal has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) Compared with the traditional method of preparing ice prevention coating by blending carbon black and PDMS through solution, the Pickering emulsion interface assembly strategy proposed in the present application can efficiently construct a micro-nano rough structure on the surface of the wind turbine blade with a small amount of carbon black, and endow the blade with hydrophobicity. At the same time, the surface energy of the hydrophobically modified carbon black is significantly reduced, so that the hydrophobicity of the formed coating is further improved.

[0029] (2) The carbon black is densely assembled on the surface of PDMS through the Pickering emulsion interface assembly strategy, thereby forming a continuous conductive network, and its electrical conductivity is much higher than that of the carbon black / PDMS coating prepared by direct melt blending. Therefore, under an external voltage, the coating formed on the surface of the wind turbine blade can remove the ice on the blade by electrothermal method.

[0030] (3) The carbon black can be used as an excellent light-heat conversion unit to remove ice on the surface of the wind turbine blade.

[0031] (4) The PDMS is selected as the base material of the coating, which has good flexibility and corrosion resistance, and can tightly fix the carbon black on the surface of the blade to increase the durability of the coating.

[0032] (5) The method for preparing the multifunctional coating on the surface of the wind turbine blade through the Pickering emulsion interface assembly strategy is easy to operate and can be mass-produced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
