Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of general-purpose pitch-based carbon fiber preparation technology, and in particular to a general-purpose carbon fiber made from waste heat transfer oil and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Dibenzyltoluene (DMT) heat transfer oil is a high-temperature liquid-phase heat transfer oil with an operating temperature up to 350℃. It is used as a heat transfer medium in some high-temperature equipment due to its high thermal stability, high boiling point, excellent low-temperature fluidity, and safe operation. It is currently widely used as a high-temperature heat transfer oil both domestically and internationally. Statistics show that my country's annual production of DMT heat transfer oil has reached over 3 million tons, but approximately 900,000 tons of waste heat transfer oil (referring to waste DMT heat transfer oil) are generated annually. This is because DMT heat transfer oil oxidizes and deteriorates over time, leading to decreased fluidity and thermal conductivity, thus requiring regular replacement, generally every 1-3 years. Currently, waste heat transfer oil disposal methods include recycling, pyrolysis, and waste treatment. Recycling is costly and can only be used when the heat transfer oil pollution is relatively low. Pyrolysis, when used as fuel, has low economic efficiency and easily generates large amounts of harmful gases. Therefore, how to achieve efficient, rational, and high-value utilization of waste heat transfer oil is a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed by those skilled in the art.

[0003] On the other hand, with the deepening research on the molecular structure of general-purpose spinning pitch and its influence on the mechanical properties of carbon fibers in recent years, the academic community generally believes that regulating the molecular structure of general-purpose spinning pitch to form a linear chain molecular structure with aromatic structural units connected by methylene bridges is an effective way to prepare high-performance general-purpose pitch carbon fibers. From the perspective of molecular structure, dibenzyltoluene heat transfer oil not only has a high carbon content, but also has abundant methyl branches and a good linear molecular structure. Therefore, a method for preparing general-purpose carbon fibers using waste heat transfer oil as raw material is proposed, which can not only realize the effective utilization of waste resources, but also effectively reduce the large amount of CO2 emissions generated during the current waste heat transfer oil incineration process.

[0004] Currently, the main raw materials for preparing general-purpose carbon fiber include coal tar pitch, ethylene tar pitch, and bio-pitch, and the main methods include thermal polycondensation, atmospheric and vacuum distillation, and air oxidation. However, the difference in precursor preparation processes directly determines the mechanical properties of general-purpose pitch-based carbon fiber. Among them, Chinese invention patent application number CN202010468692.8, "A method for preparing general-purpose pitch-based fiber from coal liquefaction residue," discloses a method for preparing general-purpose carbon fiber using coal liquefaction residue as raw material. This method involves sedimentation separation, vacuum filtration, and oxidative polycondensation to obtain a pitch precursor with a softening point of 240–340℃, which is then processed through melt spinning, non-melting treatment, and carbonization to obtain carbon fiber. Chinese invention patent application number CN202010496675.5, "A method for producing spinning pitch for coal tar pitch-based general-purpose carbon fiber raw materials," obtains pitch with a high softening point through distillation, vacuum distillation, component adjustment, and oxidation. The two patents mentioned above both involve air oxidation, a method commonly used in industry. However, air oxidation has low oxidation efficiency, takes too long, and the heat transfer oil has good oxidation resistance, making it unsuitable for this application. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a general-purpose carbon fiber and its preparation method using waste heat transfer oil as raw material, which also possesses the characteristics of rapid reaction and being environmentally friendly and clean.

[0036] S400: The spinning pitch is continuously melt-spun. The pitch melt is sprayed from the spinneret and then drawn by hot air. The circulating hot air is blown to the fiber outlet and collected by a mesh chain. The collected pitch fibers are transferred together with the mesh chain and subjected to pre-oxidation and carbonization treatments in an inert environment to obtain general-purpose carbon fibers.
