Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional coatings, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a phosphogypsum coating with super-hydrophobic and radiation cooling functions. Background Art

[0002] ‌Phosphogypsum is the main by-product in the production of high-concentration phosphate fertilizers, compound fertilizers or wet phosphoric acid. Its annual output is huge and contains a variety of impurities such as phosphorus, fluorine, and organic matter. This limits the direct use of phosphogypsum and reduces its resource utilization rate. According to statistics, China emits a huge amount of phosphogypsum each year, and the surface stockpile has exceeded hundreds of millions of tons, which not only occupies a large amount of arable land, but also damages the surface ecological environment. Therefore, the efficient utilization technology of phosphogypsum has become a global problem, and improving its utilization rate has become an urgent need.

[0003] Superhydrophobic modification of phosphogypsum is an effective way to utilize phosphogypsum in a high-value manner. Through superhydrophobic modification, the water absorption rate of phosphogypsum products can be significantly reduced, and their water resistance and durability can be improved, thereby expanding the application scope of phosphogypsum in the fields of building materials and the like. Among various superhydrophobic modification methods, organic modification of phosphogypsum improves the hydrophobicity of phosphogypsum products without affecting the appearance of phosphogypsum products, and is currently a commonly used modification method. However, organic hydrophobic agents usually only affect gypsum with small pore size and low porosity, while the modification effect on phosphogypsum with large pore size and high porosity is not obvious.

[0004] At the same time, radiative cooling technology is an extremely attractive new zero-energy cooling technology. This technology releases the heat energy of surface objects in the form of electromagnetic waves to the external space with a temperature close to absolute zero through the atmospheric window (such as the 8-13 micron band), thereby achieving the purpose of self-cooling. To achieve the best zero-energy cooling effect, the refrigeration material is usually required to have a high reflectivity in the solar spectrum band (0.3 ~ 2.5 μm) to prevent heat absorption; at the same time, it has a high emissivity in the atmospheric transparent window (ATW 8~ 13 μm) to transfer heat to the cold outer space, thereby achieving a quiet cooling function without power consumption while absorbing as little heat as possible. If the cooling function of phosphogypsum can be modified to obtain zero-energy cooling phosphogypsum, it will further broaden the application field of phosphogypsum and promote the high-value utilization and development of phosphogypsum. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a phosphogypsum coating with super-hydrophobic and radiation cooling functions, so as to solve the problems of existing phosphogypsum disposal and efficient utilization.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention: The synergistic effect of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), stearic acid (SA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is utilized to reduce the surface energy of PG and make its surface hydrophobic. Meanwhile, PMMA and SA give PG a significant cooling effect under the action of ultrasound. A method for preparing a phosphogypsum coating having super-hydrophobic and radiation cooling functions comprises the following steps: Step 1: Add PG, NaOH and Na2SO4 into deionized water in proportion, and stir and disperse to obtain a mixed suspension; Step 2: filtering, washing and drying the mixed suspension obtained in step 1 to obtain hydroxylated PG powder; Step 3: Add the silane coupling agent into a mixed solvent of deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, and heat and stir to obtain a dispersant; Step 4: adding the hydroxylated PG powder obtained in step 2 to the dispersant obtained in step 3, and stirring to obtain a mixed suspension; Step 5: filtering, washing and drying the mixed suspension obtained in step 4 to obtain hydrophobically modified PG powder; Step 6: Grind the hydrophobically modified PG powder obtained in step 5, and pass it through a sieve to obtain hydrophobically modified PG powders of different particle sizes; Step 7: Add PMMA and SA in proportion to a mixed solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and tetrahydrofuran (THF), and stir thoroughly to obtain a cooling modifier; Step 8: adding the hydrophobic modified PG powder obtained in step 6 to the cooling modifier obtained in step 7, stirring sufficiently, ultrasonically treating, and then adding PDMS and its curing agent to obtain a super-hydrophobic-radiation cooling dual-functional modified phosphogypsum coating; Step 9: The coating obtained in step 8 is coated on the substrate by a scraper method, and after the solvent is dried, a phosphogypsum coating with super-hydrophobic and radiation cooling functions is obtained.

[0010] In step 4, the stirring temperature is 60-80° C., and the stirring time is 1.0-2.5 h.

[0011] In step 5, the drying temperature is 60-80° C. and the drying time is 10-12 hours.

[0012] In step 6, the mesh size of the sieve is 90-110 meshes.

[0013] In step 7, the volume ratio of DMF:THF in the mixed solvent is 1:1-5, the mass concentration of PMMA added is 0.015-0.1 g / mL, and the mass concentration of SA is 0.02-0.1 g / mL. In the step 8, the mass ratio of hydrophobically modified PG powder to cooling modifier is 1:3-4, the PDMS mass concentration is 0.03-0.1 g / ml, the ultrasonic power is 50-100 w, preferably 80 w, the ultrasonic time is 5-30 minutes, preferably 10 min, the stirring temperature is room temperature, and the stirring time is 3-10 min, preferably 5 min.

[0014] In the step 9, the scraping film thickness of the scraping method is 300-400 μm, and the material of the substrate includes any one of a glass sheet, an aluminum sheet, a copper sheet, and a carbon steel sheet.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. Good water resistance. The surface hydrophobic modification of small-pore particles in phosphogypsum is carried out using silane coupling agent, and PMMA and SA are used to penetrate into the large pores, so that phosphogypsum has excellent super-hydrophobic and anti-seepage properties, extending the service life of phosphogypsum materials.

[0016] 2. Good zero-energy cooling effect. The synergistic effect of PMMA and SA is used to optimize the reflectivity and emissivity of phosphogypsum, significantly improving the zero-energy cooling effect of phosphogypsum.
