Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of surfactant preparation, and particularly relates to a citric acid type-lignin sulfonate cationic surfactant and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lignin sodium sulfonate is a kind of lignin sulfonate. Lignin is a natural polymer in the world, and its content is only second to cellulose and chitin. As a filler and adhesive material, it can strengthen the interaction between plant cellulose, and it is also necessary to remove the component when people extract and utilize plant cellulose on a large scale. Lignin sulfonate has good water solubility due to the introduction of sulfonic acid group in the molecule, which greatly improves its reaction capacity. Surfactant refers to a substance that can significantly reduce the surface tension of the target solution. It has a fixed hydrophilic and lipophilic group, and can be oriented on the surface of the solution. Surfactant can reduce the surface tension of water by adsorbing on the gas-liquid interface, and can also reduce the oil-water interfacial tension by adsorbing between liquid interfaces. Surfactant has a series of physical and chemical effects such as wetting or anti-sticking, emulsification or demulsification, foaming or defoaming, and solubilization, dispersion, washing, corrosion prevention, and anti-static, and corresponding practical applications, and becomes a flexible and diverse, widely used fine chemical product. Surfactant is used as a detergent in daily life. Therefore, the present application combines the characteristics of lignin sodium sulfonate and the wide application of surfactant to propose a citric acid type-lignin sulfonate cationic surfactant and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0003] To solve the problem that the emulsifying capacity of the existing surfactant gradually weakens or deactivates with the limitation of the properties of the solution and the reaction conditions during use, the present application improves these problems by preparing a citric acid type-lignin sulfonate cationic surfactant. Aniline is a stable organic compound at room temperature, and is also one of the most important intermediates in the dye industry. Therefore, the intermediate used to prepare the surfactant is relatively stable. Citric acid is widely used in detergent production, and its specificity and chelation play an active role, have good performance, and outstanding safety performance. It is easy to degrade under the action of microorganisms and heat. Therefore, the citric acid type-lignin sulfonate cationic surfactant prepared from lignin sodium sulfonate, aniline and citric acid can exert its excellent emulsifying and sterilizing properties under various environmental conditions.
