AI Technical Summary
The main component of existing mulch film is polyethylene, which is difficult to recycle, leading to secondary pollution and waste of resources. In addition, traditional mulch film cannot be degraded, and its long-term residues cause harm to the soil and environment.
The production method of PBAT biodegradable mulch film filled with cassava starch involves preparing maleic acid esterified starch and mixing it with PBAT, dispersant, lubricant and other materials under high temperature and high humidity conditions. The film is then prepared using an AB twin-screw blown film machine. Silver-gray fluorescent insect repellent powder and light-shielding antioxidant plasticizer are added to achieve complete biodegradation.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of degradable films, and in particular to a method for producing a cassava starch-filled PBAT biodegradable mulch film. Background Art
[0002] At present, the main component of the "degradable" mulch on the market (mainly including photodegradable mulch, thermal oxygen degradable mulch, starch-filled mulch, etc.) is still polyethylene. After use, it is broken into pieces and buried in the soil and cannot be recycled at all, causing serious secondary pollution. However, due to different planting methods in different places, the mechanized recycling equipment for waste agricultural films varies greatly and has poor regional applicability, so the cost of configuring recycling machinery is very high. After mechanical recycling, manual secondary collection is still required, making it difficult to reduce the recycling cost. At present, the recycling of residual film is mostly done manually, which is not thorough and inefficient. In addition, the recycled mulch is mostly processed on-site and piled up on the ridges or field roads, which will not only pollute the environment again, but also cause waste of resources. Although the widespread use of agricultural film has played an important role in increasing agricultural yields and efficiency, due to the low recovery rate of residual mulch, the amount of residual film in the soil has gradually increased, which is very easy to cause mulch pollution; at the same time, traditional mulch cannot be degraded, and the residual mulch in the natural state can remain in the soil for more than 200 years, which has brought a series of hazards to agricultural production and the environment, so it is called "white pollution" of farmland. People are in urgent need of a production method for cassava starch-filled PBAT biodegradable mulch to meet existing usage needs and performance requirements. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a method for producing a high-temperature and high-humidity easily fully biodegradable plastic film.
[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for producing a cassava starch-filled PBAT biodegradable mulch film comprises the following steps: (1) Preparation of maleic acid esterified starch: 80-90 parts of nadic anhydride or methyl nadic anhydride were weighed and added to 100 parts of cassava starch and then limestone powder, and the mixture was uniformly mixed in a high-speed mixer at a speed of 800-1000 rpm for 1-2 h, and filtered through a 500-mesh sieve to obtain activated cassava starch; (2) According to the weight fraction, 45-50 parts of activated cassava starch, 45-50 parts of PBAT, 0.2-0.3 parts of dispersant and 0.1-0.2 parts of lubricant are mixed evenly in a high-speed mixer, and then sent into a screw extruder for plasticization and granulation. The extruder temperature is set to 120°C for zone 1, 135°C for zone 2, 140°C for zone 3, 135°C for zone 4 and 135°C for zone 5, and the cooling temperature is 60°C. An AB twin-screw film blowing machine is used for film blowing at 150-170°C to obtain the product.
[0005] Furthermore, in step (1), the mass ratio of cassava starch to limestone powder is 19-21:1.
[0006] Furthermore, the dispersant in step (2) is palmitamide.
[0007] Furthermore, in step (2), the lubricant is palm oil.
[0008] Furthermore, the density of the PBAT in step (2) is 1.24-1.27 g / cm3, the melt index is 2-4 g / 10 min at 190°C, the melting point is not less than 115°C, and the weight average molecular weight is 50,000-80,000.
[0009] Furthermore, the cassava starch has an ash content of ≤0.2g / 100g and a fineness of 800-1000 mesh.
[0010] Furthermore, the side feed of the A screw film blowing machine is added with silver-grey fluorescent insect repellent powder, and the amount of the silver-grey fluorescent insect repellent powder added is 4-6% of the mass proportion of the main feed of the screw film blowing machine.
[0011] The silver-grey fluorescent insect repellent powder not only has the effect of ordinary mulch, but can also effectively repel pests.
[0012] Furthermore, a light-shielding antioxidant plasticizer is added to the side feed of the B screw film blowing machine, and the amount of the light-shielding antioxidant plasticizer added is 6-8% of the mass proportion of the main feed of the screw film blowing machine, preferably triphenyl phosphite or tricresyl phosphate, which has a light-shielding and antioxidant effect, and also has a certain plasticizing effect.
[0013] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The product disclosed in the present invention is a method for producing a cassava starch-filled PBAT biodegradable mulch film. The product's thickness, mechanical properties and other indicators meet the requirements of fully biodegradable agricultural ground covering films. The main components are biomass materials such as aliphatic polyesters and aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters with complete degradation characteristics, and do not contain olefin raw materials such as polyethylene. A proper proportion of cassava starch is added, and the effective service life is more than 60 days. The film has biodegradable properties, and there is no secondary pollution during the degradation process. It inhibits the growth of weeds and reduces water consumption for growth. It also has the characteristics of increasing production and improving quality, being environmentally friendly, and not requiring recycling after use. It can effectively keep warm and retain moisture, and can replace herbicides to inhibit weeds. After use, it is finally decomposed into carbon dioxide and water through the action of microorganisms, light and temperature in the soil. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
