[0022] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in further detail below in combination with specific examples, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the following description.
[0023] Example 1: Preparation of solid foam cleanup agent.
[0024] 40 parts of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, 30 parts of sodium α-alkenyl sulfonate, 15 parts of urea, 10 parts of sodium bicarbonate, and 5 parts of paraffin wax were poured into a stirrer, stirred uniformly, taken out, and placed in a mold brushed with polyethylene glycol 400, and then pressed and formed, and dried at low temperature for standby use.
[0025] Example 2: Preparation of foam net.
[0026] 4 parts of CMC and 2 parts of sodium carbonate were sequentially added to 300 parts of water, stirred uniformly, and then 100 parts of polylactic acid powder was slowly and uniformly added to the water, and stirred gently to prevent caking. After stirring uniformly, the polylactic acid powder was placed at room temperature to absorb moisture and swell for about 30 minutes to form a polylactic acid colloid. The polylactic acid colloid was poured into a mold, and then extruded into a linear shape by external force, and then dried and woven into a foam net.
[0027] Example 3: Comparison of liquid carrying capacity of solid foam cleanup agent with and without foam net.
[0028] Five commercial solid foam cleanup agents were taken, and two indoor test samples of 0.5 g were prepared for each. One of the samples was wrapped with a foam net prepared in Example 2, and then the liquid carrying volume of the samples with and without foam net was tested respectively. It should be noted that, in order to reduce the original disturbance in the foaming pipe and enhance the contrast between the samples, the sand core head was not used at the gas inlet, but the gas was directly introduced from the liquid outlet below the foaming pipe, and the amount of water pre-added in the foaming pipe was 500 mL. The test device is shown in Figure 1 , and the test data comparison is shown in Figure 2 .
