Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of calcium carbonate preparation technology, specifically a hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate for use in styrene-butadiene rubber. Background Technology

[0002] The main reasons for using calcium carbonate in rubber are its high whiteness, ease of processing, ability to increase volume and weight, and cost reduction. However, its lack of reinforcing properties in rubber limits its application. With advancements in calcium carbonate preparation technology, it has been discovered that nano-calcium carbonate, chain-like calcium carbonate, and cubic calcium carbonate have semi-reinforcing effects when added to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). Nevertheless, research progress on the application of rod-shaped calcium carbonate in rubber remains slow.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 107555460A discloses a method for preparing nano-calcium carbonate for rubber tires. The method involves preparing a nano-calcium carbonate suspension using a bubbling method, surface modification with sodium polystyrene sulfonate, rosin, and pentaerythritol stearate, followed by pressure filtration and drying to obtain the nano-calcium carbonate for rubber tires. When filled into rubber tires, it can significantly improve the tire's reinforcement and wear resistance. This method pertains to the application of nano-calcium carbonate in rubber but does not involve rod-shaped calcium carbonate, thus offering little contribution to research progress on the application of rod-shaped calcium carbonate in rubber.

[0004] Chinese patent CN 109911925B discloses a method for preparing rubber-specific nano-calcium carbonate. The method involves preparing a chain-like nano-calcium carbonate suspension using a bubbling method, coating the chain-like nano-calcium carbonate with silica using a partially soluble silicon-containing substance, and then surface-coating it with a fatty acid-based substance. After pressure filtration and drying, the resulting rubber-specific nano-calcium carbonate is obtained. This method pertains to the application of chain-like nano-calcium carbonate in rubber and does not involve rod-shaped calcium carbonate, thus offering little contribution to the research progress of rod-shaped calcium carbonate applications in rubber.

[0005] Chinese patent CN 104609453B discloses a method for preparing cubic precipitated calcium carbonate. The method involves preparing a nano-calcium carbonate suspension using a bubbling method, using urea-based substances as a curing agent to accelerate curing, surface treatment with sodium stearate, and then pressure filtration and drying to obtain a cubic precipitated calcium carbonate. This method for preparing cubic precipitated calcium carbonate does not involve rubber applications and does not significantly contribute to research progress on the application of rod-shaped calcium carbonate in rubber.

[0006] Chinese patent CN 115072757A discloses a method for preparing fine rod-shaped aragonite-type calcium carbonate. The method involves reacting acetic acid with several calcium-containing waste residues to obtain a calcium acetate solution. Carbon dioxide is then introduced into the calcium acetate solution at a specific temperature and pH under specific pressure. The resulting suspension is then subjected to solid-liquid separation and dried to obtain fine rod-shaped aragonite-type calcium carbonate. This method for preparing rod-shaped calcium carbonate does not involve applications in rubber and does not significantly contribute to research progress on its application in rubber.

[0007] Chinese patent CN 110844930A discloses a method for preparing hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate. The method involves dissolving calcium oxide in water, heating, stirring, allowing it to stand for digestion, sieving, and concentrating to obtain a raw material calcium hydroxide slurry. Using sodium D-gluconate as a crystal form control agent, the temperature and rotation speed are controlled, and CO is introduced to induce a gas reaction, yielding a product slurry. After pressure filtration and drying, hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate is obtained. This method for preparing hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate does not involve rubber applications and does not significantly contribute to research progress on the application of rod-shaped calcium carbonate in rubber.

[0008] In summary, current research progress on the application of rod-shaped calcium carbonate in rubber is still in a slow stage, and the existing methods for preparing rod-shaped calcium carbonate are still not sufficient for its effective use in rubber. Summary of the Invention

This is an innovation in the microstructure of calcium carbonate, breaking through the technical bottleneck of the prior art which has not yet produced lead monoxide coating hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate.

[0028] 2.

Secondly, by coating the hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate with lead monoxide, which is distributed on the surface of the calcium carbonate, the calcium carbonate is tightly bound, and the lead monoxide can also connect to the SBR. This special property enhances the tensile strength and elongation at break of the SBR. Attached Figure Description

[0069] The difference from Example 1 is that the operation step S6 in Example 1 was not performed; that is, the surface of the obtained hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate does not have lead monoxide coating.

[0070] The differences from Comparative Example 1 are as follows: First, the S6 operation step in Example 1 was not performed; that is, the surface of the obtained hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate did not have lead monoxide coating. Second, 3 parts of zinc oxide vulcanizing activator were added during the subsequent filling with styrene-butadiene rubber.

[0071] The hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate obtained in Examples 1-3 and the calcium carbonate obtained in Comparative Examples 1-4 were used as fillers for styrene-butadiene rubber. The formulation of the styrene-butadiene rubber is as follows:

[0072] Table 1: Styrene-butadiene rubber formulation used in this invention (without the addition of vulcanizing activator zinc oxide)

[0073]

[0074] The rolled styrene-butadiene rubber samples were tested at 160℃ for the positive vulcanization time t90, and the styrene-butadiene rubber was vulcanized using a flat vulcanizing apparatus according to the positive vulcanization time. Finally, the samples were cut and tested according to the national standard. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0075] Table 2: Performance test results of styrene-butadiene rubber strips prepared using calcium carbonate according to the present invention

[0076]

[0077] The data in Table 2 shows that:

[0078] (1) Compared with Comparative Examples 1-2, the hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate prepared by the method of Examples 1-3 of the present invention, when used to fill styrene-butadiene rubber, still achieves excellent vulcanization performance, i.e., short vulcanization time T90 and fast vulcanization speed, without the addition of the vulcanizing activator zinc oxide. At the same time, it has better tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0079] This is because in Comparative Example 1, the concentrations of various solutions were low and the dropping speed was slow, so the prepared calcium carbonate was not completely hollow rod-shaped, but rather some independently formed various morphologies. The irregular morphology caused the lead monoxide to coat the calcium carbonate unevenly, thus failing to serve as a good connection point between the calcium carbonate and the styrene-butadiene rubber, thereby reducing the tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0080] This is because in Comparative Example 2, the high concentration and fast dropping speed of the various solutions resulted in the prepared calcium carbonate not being entirely hollow rods, but containing a small number of solid rods. The lack of a hollow structure reduced the contact area between styrene-butadiene rubber and calcium carbonate, thus lowering the tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0081] (2) Compared with Comparative Example 3, the hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate prepared by the methods of Examples 1-3 of the present invention, when used to fill styrene-butadiene rubber, exhibits excellent vulcanization performance, i.e., short vulcanization time T90 and fast vulcanization speed, without the addition of the vulcanizing activator zinc oxide. At the same time, it also has very good tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0082] This is because in Comparative Example 3, the hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate was not coated with lead monoxide. In the absence of lead monoxide and the addition of the vulcanizing activator zinc oxide, the positive vulcanization time was significantly prolonged. Furthermore, the lack of lead monoxide as a bonding point between the calcium carbonate and styrene-butadiene rubber greatly reduced the tensile strength and elongation at break.

[0083] (3) Compared with Comparative Example 4, the hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate prepared by the methods of Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention, when used to fill styrene-butadiene rubber, exhibits similar vulcanization performance, i.e., the vulcanization time T90 is comparable, even without the addition of the vulcanizing activator zinc oxide. At the same time, the tensile strength and elongation at break are also comparable.

[0084] Because Comparative Example 4 did not involve lead monoxide coating and instead included 3 parts of zinc oxide as a vulcanizing activator, the hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate prepared by the methods of Examples 1-3 of this invention exhibits comparable performance when used as a filler for styrene-butadiene rubber. Therefore, it can be determined that the hollow rod-shaped calcium carbonate prepared by the methods of Examples 1-3 of this invention can replace 3 parts of zinc oxide as a vulcanizing activator when used as a filler for styrene-butadiene rubber.

[0085] The above description, in conjunction with specific / preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various substitutions or modifications can be made to these described embodiments without departing from the inventive concept, and all such substitutions or modifications should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
