Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water absorbent pads and preparation methods thereof, in particular to a diatomaceous earth water absorbent pad and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, we often use absorbent foot pads in homes, hotels, shopping malls, cars and other places. The materials commonly used for foot pads are: chemical fiber, leather, PVC, rubber, linen, etc. Foot pads made of these materials have certain advantages, but they also have defects such as being too soft, easy to deform, having a strong smell, poor water absorption, and not drying quickly. Therefore, foot pads with diatomaceous earth as the main material came into being. Diatomaceous earth is a siliceous sedimentary rock of biological origin, mainly composed of the remains of ancient diatoms, and its main component is silicon dioxide. Because the internal structure of diatomaceous earth has many micropores and large pore size, diatomaceous earth has strong adsorption performance and permeability, which can reflect the advantages of moisture absorption, moisture absorption, odor elimination, decomposition of formaldehyde harmful substances, clean air, and regulating space humidity. It is a very popular environmentally friendly material and has been used in absorbent foot pads.

[0003] In the prior art, Patent 201611218896.6 discloses a diatomaceous earth absorbent pad and a preparation method thereof. The patent mainly uses diatomaceous earth, glass fiber, and organic glue as the main raw materials for preparation, and is baked at 50-55°C during preparation; Patent 201710624731.7 discloses a diatomaceous earth moisture-absorbing foot pad and a preparation method thereof. The patent mainly uses diatomaceous earth, obsidian, expanded perlite, bagasse, and adhesive as raw materials. During preparation, the raw materials are mixed and frozen at -5°C to 0°C; Patent 201711368103.3 discloses a diatomaceous earth foot pad and a preparation method thereof. The patent mainly uses diatomaceous earth, modified zeolite, tourmaline, bamboo charcoal, flax, and adhesive. During preparation, the raw materials are mixed and frozen at -3°C to -1°C.

[0004] The above patents can prepare water-absorbent foot pads with good mechanical properties, but there are also the following problems: first, additional binders need to be added to the raw materials, and most of them use diatomaceous earth with a high silicon content, which is expensive, resulting in increased raw material costs and is not conducive to large-scale production; second, although the above-mentioned foot pads are strong and hard, they lack flexibility and cannot fit well to the surface when used in some non-flat places, which limits the places of use; third, they are highly absorbent but not quick-drying.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a diatomaceous earth water-absorbing pad and a preparation method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a diatomite absorbent pad and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problems of high preparation cost, insufficient flexibility and slow drying of the existing diatomite absorbent pad. The specific technical scheme is as follows:

[0007] A diatomaceous earth water-absorbing pad comprises the following raw materials by weight percentage: 15-20% quartz, 50-65% diatomaceous earth, 5-10% pulp fiber, 1-3% environmentally friendly color paste and 7-19% limestone.

[0008] Preferably, a diatomaceous earth absorbent pad comprises the following raw materials by weight percentage: 15-17% quartz, 55-60% diatomaceous earth, 6-8% pulp fiber, 1-2% environmentally friendly color paste and 10-15% limestone.

[0009] Preferably, the length of the pulp fibers is ≥5 mm.

[0010] Preferably, the diatomaceous earth consists of white diatomaceous earth and yellow diatomaceous earth, and the weight ratio of the white diatomaceous earth to the yellow diatomaceous earth is 1:2-5.

[0011] Preferably, the white diatomaceous earth has a silicon content of 65-75%, a bulk density of 0-25, and a mesh size of 300-350 meshes; the yellow diatomaceous earth has a silicon content of 25-45%, a bulk density of 0-20, and a mesh size of 200-250 meshes.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the diatomaceous earth water-absorbing pad, comprising the following steps:

[0013] S1. Weigh each raw material according to weight percentage, add water to each raw material, grind it, mix it, stir it, and vibrate it on a vibrating screen to obtain a mixed slurry;

[0014] S2, the mixed slurry is subjected to vacuum dehydration and compression dehydration to initially form a plate, and irregular edges and corners are cut off to obtain a square slab;

[0015] S3, subjecting the slab to high temperature and high pressure treatment to obtain an internally crystallized slab;

[0016] S4, drying the internally crystallized slab, and then sanding, cutting, engraving and color printing to obtain a finished product.

[0017] Preferably, in step S3, the temperature of the high temperature and high pressure treatment is 165-180°C, the pressure is 1-2MPa, and the treatment time is 20-24h.

[0018] Preferably, in step S4, the drying is to dry the internally crystallized slab to a moisture content of ≤12%.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The present invention solves the problems of high preparation cost, insufficient flexibility and slow drying of existing diatomaceous earth absorbent pads by optimizing raw materials, proportions and preparation methods. The diatomaceous earth absorbent pad prepared by the method of the present invention has the advantages of quick drying, high strength, hardness but not lacking flexibility, good formaldehyde removal effect, high stability and strong bactericidal effect.

[0021] 2. The raw material of the present invention contains limestone, which will become slaked lime under high temperature and high pressure conditions and has adhesiveness. Therefore, a water-absorbing pad can be made without adding an adhesive, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing costs. At the same time, the diatomaceous earth used in the present invention is composed of white diatomaceous earth and yellow diatomaceous earth, that is, yellow diatomaceous earth with a lower price is used instead of white diatomaceous earth for production, which can further reduce production costs.

[0022] 3. The present invention subjects the slab to high temperature and high pressure treatment, and the quartz, diatomaceous earth and limestone in the raw materials undergo a chemical reaction under the action of high temperature and high pressure to form silicon-calcium crystals. At the same time, the pulp fibers and the silicon-calcium crystals are mutually attracted and connected, and are interwoven together to form a mesh porous structure with high strength and high stability, so that the obtained absorbent pad has high strength and high stability. At the same time, the limestone also produces carbon dioxide gas under high temperature, and the small holes produced by the carbon dioxide gas increase the flexibility of the absorbent pad. Therefore, the silicon-calcium crystals produced under high temperature and high pressure and the small holes produced by the carbon dioxide gas together make the obtained absorbent pad hard but not lacking in flexibility, and can be used in more places.

[0023] 4. The interior of the absorbent pad of the present invention is a porous structure, which can quickly adsorb and remove formaldehyde and bacteria, and the holes produced by carbon dioxide also accelerate drying, so that the absorbent pad can be restored to a dry state in a short time, which is suitable for humid weather in the south.

[0064] Table 3 Formaldehyde purification performance test results

[0065] project Standard requirements (Class I) Formaldehyde purification performance (%) in conclusion Example 1 ≥75 90.5 conform to Example 2 ≥75 90.3 conform to Example 3 ≥75 90.5 conform to

[0066] 4. Water absorption performance test of the water absorbent pad of the present invention

[0067] The water absorption rate, water absorption speed and drying speed of the water absorbent pads prepared in Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3 were tested. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0068] Water absorption test method: Place the absorbent pad in a drying oven at 105±5℃ for 24 hours, take it out and place it in a desiccator to cool to room temperature, weigh the mass of the absorbent pad m1, and round it to 0.1g; soak it in room temperature water (20±5℃) for 24 hours; take the absorbent pad out of the water, carefully wipe off the water attached to the surface of the absorbent pad with a wet towel, and immediately weigh the mass of the saturated absorbent pad m3, and round it to 0.1g; the water absorption rate is calculated according to the formula

[0071] Table 4 Water absorption performance of the absorbent pad of the embodiment

[0072] project Water absorption (%) Water absorption speed (min) Drying speed (min) Example 1 56 43 65 Example 2 55 44 66 Example 3 58 41 60

[0073] Remarks: Technical requirements: Water absorption ≥ 45%.

[0074] Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 show that the water-absorbing pad of the present invention has the advantages of quick drying, good sterilization effect and good formaldehyde removal effect.

[0075] Comparative Example 1: An equal amount of slaked lime was used instead of limestone, and other raw materials and preparation methods were the same as those in Example 1.

[0076] The strength, flexibility, drying speed and porosity of the absorbent pads obtained in Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 were tested respectively, and the testing methods were the same as above. The results are shown in Table 5:

[0077] Table 5 Comparison of test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1

[0078]

[0079] From the comparative data in the above table, it can be seen that when the same amount of slaked lime is used instead of limestone, although the overall strength is slightly higher than that of Example 1, the flexibility is insufficient and the drying time is also longer, which may be related to the inability of slaked lime to produce carbon dioxide.

[0080] Comparative Example 2: During preparation, the slab processing temperature in step S3 is 300°C, and other raw materials and preparation methods are the same as those in Example 1.

[0081] Comparative Example 3: During preparation, the slab processing temperature in step S3 is 100°C, and other raw materials and preparation methods are the same as those in Example 1.

[0082] The strength, flexibility, drying speed and porosity of the absorbent pads obtained in Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 were tested respectively, and the testing method was the same as above. The results are shown in Table 6:

[0083] Table 6 Comparison of test results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3

[0084]

[0085] Table 6 shows that the processing temperature of the slab in step S3 will also affect the finished product. Only when the temperature of the present invention (165-180°C) is used can a water-absorbing pad with good properties be obtained. At 300°C, the reaction is more intense, the gas generation rate is fast, and the uneven pore generation leads to poor product flexibility. At 100°C, the reaction is slower, the gas generation rate is slow, and the uneven pore generation also leads to poor product flexibility. In addition, too high or too low a temperature will also affect the appearance, resulting in cracks or delamination.

[0086] Comparative Example 4: The raw materials of this comparative example include, by weight percentage, quartz 16%, diatomaceous earth 66%, pulp fiber 10%, environmentally friendly color paste 3% and limestone 5%, that is, compared with Example 1, the proportion of limestone is reduced and the total proportion of quartz and diatomaceous earth is increased. The preparation method is the same as that of Example 1.

[0087] Comparative Example 5: The raw materials of this comparative example include, by weight percentage, quartz 15%, diatomaceous earth 50%, pulp fiber 10%, environmentally friendly color paste 3% and limestone 22%, that is, compared with Example 1, the proportion of limestone is increased and the total proportion of quartz and diatomaceous earth is reduced. The preparation method is the same as that of Example 1.

[0088] Comparative Example 6: The raw materials of this comparative example include, by weight percentage, quartz 15%, diatomaceous earth 50%, pulp fiber 8%, environmentally friendly color paste 3% and limestone 24%, that is, compared with Example 1, the proportion of limestone is increased and the total proportion of quartz and diatomaceous earth is reduced. The preparation method is the same as that of Example 1.

[0089] Comparative Example 7: The raw materials of this comparative example include, by weight percentage, quartz 15%, diatomaceous earth 50%, pulp fiber 8%, environmentally friendly color paste 1% and limestone 26%, that is, compared with Example 1, the proportion of limestone is increased and the total proportion of quartz and diatomaceous earth is reduced. The preparation method is the same as that of Example 1.

[0090] The strength and flexibility of the absorbent pads obtained in Comparative Examples 4 to 7 and Example 1 were tested respectively, and the testing method was the same as above. The results are shown in Table 7:

[0091] Table 7 Comparison of test results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 4 to 7

[0092]

[0093] Remarks: Technical requirements: transverse strength ≥10MPa, longitudinal strength ≥8MPa.

[0094] Table 7 shows that the proportion of limestone, quartz and diatomaceous earth will also have an impact on the finished product. The data of Comparative Example 4 shows that when the proportion of limestone decreases and the total proportion of quartz and diatomaceous earth increases, cracks will appear in the product, and the strength cannot meet the technical requirements, and the flexibility is poor; the data of Comparative Examples 5, 6, and 7 show that when the proportion of limestone increases and the total proportion of quartz and diatomaceous earth decreases, although the product strength can meet the technical requirements, the product appearance and flexibility are not good. The applicant unexpectedly discovered that only when the amount of limestone added is 7-19% and the total proportion of quartz and diatomaceous earth is 70-80%, the strength, flexibility and appearance of the absorbent pad can meet the technical requirements at the same time.

[0095] The data in Tables 6 and 7 show that the raw materials, proportions, and processing temperature of the slabs of the present invention are closely linked. Changing any one of them will result in the performance of the water-absorbing pad not meeting the requirements. The applicant has to go through repeated experiments and explorations to find a suitable match between the three.

[0096] In summary, the present invention solves the problems of high preparation cost, insufficient flexibility and slow drying of the existing diatomite water-absorbing pad by optimizing the raw materials, proportions and preparation methods. The diatomite water-absorbing pad prepared by the method of the present invention has the advantages of quick drying, high strength, hardness but not lacking flexibility, good formaldehyde removal effect, high stability and strong bactericidal effect. In addition, the raw materials of the present invention contain limestone, which will become slaked lime under high temperature and high pressure conditions and has adhesiveness. Therefore, the water-absorbing pad can be made without adding a binder, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing costs. At the same time, the diatomite used in the present invention is composed of white diatomite and yellow diatomite, that is, yellow diatomite with a cheaper price is used to replace white diatomite for production, which can further reduce production costs.

[0097] The present invention treats the slab with high temperature and high pressure, and the quartz, diatomaceous earth and limestone in the raw materials react chemically under the action of high temperature and high pressure to form silicon calcium crystals. At the same time, the pulp fibers and silicon calcium crystals are mutually pulled and connected, and interwoven together to form a mesh porous structure with high strength and high stability, so that the prepared water-absorbing pad has high strength and high stability. At the same time, the limestone produces carbon dioxide gas under high temperature, which further increases the number of small holes in the mesh porous structure, thereby increasing the flexibility of the water-absorbing pad. Therefore, the silicon calcium crystals produced under high temperature and high pressure and the small holes produced by the carbon dioxide gas together make the prepared water-absorbing pad hard but not lacking in flexibility, and can be applied to more places. The interior of the water-absorbing pad of the present invention is a porous structure, which can quickly adsorb and remove formaldehyde and bacteria, and the holes produced by the carbon dioxide also accelerate drying, so that the water-absorbing pad can be restored to a dry state in a short time, which is suitable for humid weather in the south.

[0098] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of illustration and demonstration. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed, and it is clear that many changes and variations can be made based on the above teachings. The purpose of selecting and describing the exemplary embodiments is to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, so that those skilled in the art can realize and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention and various different selections and changes. The scope of the present invention is intended to be limited by the claims and their equivalents.
