Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of marine antifouling technology, and in particular to an organic copper ion complex antifouling agent and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The attachment of marine organisms can cause great harm to marine engineering equipment such as ships, nuclear power platforms and oil extraction platforms. The annual loss caused by marine biofouling is at least 3 billion US dollars worldwide. The attachment of marine organisms on nuclear power platforms and oil extraction platforms can induce and accelerate the corrosion of the metal surface of the equipment, leading to a decrease in strength and safety hazards, and shortening the service life of the equipment. The attachment and accumulation on the ship bottom not only increase the overall weight of the ship body but also make the ship body surface rough, causing sailing resistance to the ship, increasing the power of the ship body and fuel consumption. At present, inorganic compounds containing copper are mainly used as antifouling agents. Cuprous oxide is the most commonly used and traditional antifouling agent that can meet the current environmental requirements. However, copper-based antifouling agents have poor antifouling effect on algae, and require a large amount of leaching rate to effectively prevent algae. However, excessive copper ion leaching rate can also reduce the antifouling period of the antifouling paint, so organic antifouling agents are generally added to the coating formula containing cuprous oxide as the main antifouling agent to improve the antifouling performance of the coating and prolong the service life.

[0003] Patent CN102702821A relates to an antifouling agent for marine facilities, which is a complex formed by three (2-(N-oxide-pyridyl-2-sulfur) ethyl) amine and metal ions. The complex can form a nanometer particle suspension in a solvent, has stable properties, good antifouling effect, and is non-toxic or low-toxic. However, the preparation process is complex and not convenient for synthesis. CN114736221A discloses a rare earth-based complex marine antifouling agent and a preparation method thereof. The invention is composed of sodium pyrithione, acidic alpha-amino acid and soluble rare earth salt through ternary coordination. The rare earth elements are selected from lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium and yttrium. The invention reduces the repellency of marine organisms to the antifouling agent, increases the permeability of the antifouling agent, and better penetrates into cells, has strong antibacterial ability, long-lasting antibacterial efficacy and low ecological safety risk. However, some rare earth elements are too expensive, and the synthesis cost is high. SUMMARY

An appropriate amount of solution was added to the conical flask of algal liquid, so that the Cu 2+The concentrations of the complex in the algal solution were 5 ppm, 10 ppm, and 30 ppm, with a blank control group also included.

[0048] Figure 2 The Chlorella culture time-algal concentration curves show that complex I has a good inhibitory effect on Chlorella growth. At concentrations of 5 ppm, 10 ppm, and 30 ppm, the concentrations of Chlorella remained at their initial levels, indicating a good inhibitory effect. Complex II, at a concentration of 5 ppm, showed no inhibitory effect on Chlorella growth, consistent with the growth concentration curve of the control group. At concentrations of 10 ppm and 30 ppm, the concentrations of Chlorella remained at their initial levels at all times, indicating a significant inhibitory effect. Complex III, at 5 ppm, showed some inhibitory effect on growth, with distinct growth curves at 24, 72, and 120 hours.
