Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing, specifically relating to a solvent-free tank bottom plate repair agent and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The bottom of petrochemical storage tanks is highly susceptible to electrochemical corrosion caused by chloride ions, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, as well as bacterial corrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria, due to the presence of a water layer. This type of corrosion, acting on the tank bottom over a long period, forms numerous pits and can even cause perforation, jeopardizing storage and transportation safety and resulting in material waste. Traditional repair methods after corrosion occurs include metal welding and reinforcing with steel plates, but these methods require open flames or the use of large areas of carbon steel plates, significantly impacting production. Epoxy zinc-rich conductive coating technology, used as an anti-corrosion and anti-static coating for the inner wall of storage tanks, is also applied to tank bottom repair; however, traditional epoxy resin coating materials have limited protection against acidic and alkaline media and cannot achieve long-term, high-efficiency protection. In the early stages, Wang Feng et al. prepared a tank bottom repair agent using epoxy resin as a binder, phenoxypropylene oxide as a plasticizer, and polyethylene polyamine as a curing agent at a weight ratio of 100:10:(10-12). They employed a one-step curing method for cross-linking and used two coating methods—applying a patching method and a lamination method—to repair different corroded areas of the tank bottom. However, apart from this, mature materials and technologies for repairing the bottom of steel storage tanks have not yet been developed.

[0003] Therefore, in order to improve repair efficiency and effectively extend the service life of storage tanks, it is necessary to develop a high-efficiency corrosion-resistant tank bottom repair agent. Based on preliminary research and on-site tank area exchanges, it is considered to use epoxy resin as the matrix, compound with different functional fillers, and small molecule amines as curing agents, without adding dispersants, defoamers and other organic solvents, to prepare a solvent-free epoxy repair material. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solvent-free tank bottom plate repair agent and its preparation method, so as to solve the problem that the existing technology cannot simultaneously take into account environmental protection and achieve efficient repair and protection of the tank bottom.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing a solvent-free tank bottom plate repair agent.

[0006] Specifically, the preparation method of the solvent-free tank bottom plate repair agent of the present invention includes the following:

[0007] (1) Epoxy resin is uniformly dispersed in an organic solvent to obtain an epoxy resin slurry;

[0008] (2) Add small molecule amine to the reactor and purge with nitrogen for protection; turn on mechanical stirring and heat the small molecule amine to the pre-crosslinking reaction temperature; after the temperature stabilizes, slowly add the resin slurry obtained in step (1) to the reactor until the color of the reaction solution turns light yellow and the color no longer changes.

[0009] (3) Raise the reactor temperature to the reaction temperature and continue to slowly add the epoxy resin slurry obtained in step (1) into the reactor. After the temperature stabilizes, continue the reaction until the end.

[0010] (4) After the reaction is complete, stop heating, turn off nitrogen, stop stirring, cool to room temperature and discharge to obtain repair agent component A;

[0011] (5) Mix epoxy resin, lubricant, inorganic filler and optional organic filler evenly to obtain repair agent component B.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the organic solvent mentioned in step (1) includes one or more of ethanol, methanol, and acetone, preferably acetone. The epoxy resin is a conventional epoxy resin in the art, specifically selected from one or more of epoxy resins E44, E51, 170, E12, E20, and E68.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the small molecule amines in step (2) include one or more of diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, N-aminopiperazine, polyamide, and dimethylimidazole, preferably two or more, and most preferably three or more small molecule amines used in combination.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, step (2) involves slowly adding the resin slurry to the small molecule amine, which is a conventional operation in the field.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the pre-crosslinking temperature of the small molecule amine in step (2) is 80±10 ℃. When the color of the reaction solution changes during the reaction process, it indicates that new substances are generated, and the addition of resin slurry should be stopped at this time. During the pre-crosslinking reaction, the mass ratio of the amount of resin slurry added (based on epoxy groups) to the mass of the small molecule amine is 1:10-1:5.

[0016] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the reaction temperature in step (3) is 100±10 ℃, and the reaction time is 3.5±1 h. During the reaction, the total amount of resin slurry added, calculated as epoxy groups, is in a mass ratio of 1:10 to 8:10 to the mass of small molecule amine.

[0017] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the epoxy resin serves as the repair agent matrix, providing the repair agent with certain strength and toughness. The lubricant is selected from one or more of alkane oil and dimethyl silicone oil (AR). The alkane oil can be selected from one or more of C6, C10, and C12. The alkane oil acts as a lubricant, improving the compatibility between the filler and the resin, and making its dispersion more uniform. The inorganic filler includes one or more of ferrosilicon powder, carbon black, calcium carbonate (AR), silicon dioxide (AR), and titanium dioxide (AR). The ferrosilicon powder can be selected from one or more of 75#, 70#, 72#, 65#, and 60#. The carbon black can be selected from one or more of C311, N220, N330, and N550. The inorganic filler is used to fill the voids between resins, giving the repair agent certain rigidity and strength, while improving adhesion to the substrate. Preferably, two or more of the inorganic fillers are used in a compound ratio. The organic filler can be organobentonite (AR). Organic fillers have an anti-settling effect and can also improve the corrosion resistance of the system.

[0018] Furthermore, the epoxy resin used in step (5) is selected from one or more of epoxy E44, E51, 170, E12, E20, and E68, with epoxy E44 being preferred. Preferably, the epoxy resin used in step (5) and step (1) is the same brand. The ratio of epoxy resin, lubricant, inorganic filler, and optional organic filler is 100:1.6-1.7:141.6-233.9:5-10. When the repair agent of the present invention is applied, the mixing ratio of repair agent component A and repair agent component B is generally 3.1:1-6.5:1.

[0019] Based on research findings, the applicant discovered that epoxy resin is widely used in functional protective coatings for storage tank surfaces. However, there is currently no good solution for repairing corrosion at the bottom of storage tanks. Current methods mostly involve replacing the bottom plate or adding reinforcing plates, which are costly, wasteful of resources, and require hot work, posing a significant risk. Drawing on experience in external corrosion protection of storage tanks, the applicant proposes coating the damaged area at the bottom of the tank with a solvent-free metal repair material. After curing, the material forms a high-strength, high-hardness paint film that can replace the metal steel plate for continued service. This method is simple to operate, energy-saving, and the solvent-free system is also more environmentally friendly.

[0020] Previous experiments revealed that directly blending epoxy resin and curing agent leads to incomplete cross-linking reactions between resin molecules, resulting in decreased adhesion of the paint film to the metal, as well as reduced rigidity and flexibility. This allows corrosive media to penetrate the paint film and further corrode the substrate. Therefore, this invention develops a step-by-step curing method to improve the internal curing rate of the resin, forming a highly cross-linked and dense paint film that adheres tightly to the metal surface. This provides rigid support while hindering the penetration of corrosive media, extending the service life of the storage tank and reducing operating costs.

[0021] In this invention, a combination of multiple small-molecule amine curing agents is preferred. This is because, compared to polyamide, piperazine, and imidazole curing agents, small-molecule curing agents have shorter molecular chains, better molecular flexibility, less steric hindrance during the resin curing reaction, and greater flexibility. The combination of multiple small-molecule amine curing agents provides a more precise molar amount of active amines, and the synergistic effect between molecules promotes full cross-linking between resin molecules and the curing agent.

[0022] Adding functional pigments and fillers such as carbon black, ferrosilicon powder, calcium carbonate, organobentonite, silica, and titanium dioxide to the paint film system can fill the tiny gaps in the resin, preventing corrosive substances from penetrating the paint film and corroding the substrate. At the same time, ferrosilicon powder and other substances have a certain affinity for the substrate, which helps the adhesion of the paint film.

[0023] In summary, epoxy resin and curing agent can be pre-cured by prepolymerization, and functional pigments and fillers can be added to the obtained slurry to prepare a metallic repair material with high adhesion, heavy corrosion resistance, and high strength and modulus.

[0024] Compared to traditional methods, the coating prepared by this method innovatively employs a stepwise polymerization approach. First, the curing agent is cross-linked and cured with a small amount of resin, and then the remaining resin is added to achieve complete curing. This method significantly improves the resin curing rate in the paint film, resulting in a highly corrosion-resistant and highly adhesive coating. The addition of fillers also contributes to the rigidity repair and corrosion resistance of the paint film, and the solvent-free nature aligns better with the concept of green environmental protection.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. By employing a stepwise polymerization method for the resin, the contact density between resin and curing agent molecules is controlled. In the prepolymerization stage, a small number of resin molecules bond with the curing agent, forming a small cross-linked network. When components A and B are mixed, the resin molecules react with the remaining active amine, connecting the various small cross-linked networks into a whole. This significantly increases the degree of polymerization between the resin and the curing agent, resulting in a uniform and dense network structure. This improves the cross-linking density of the repair agent, thereby enhancing its overall mechanical properties. It combines high strength and high flexibility while resisting the penetration of corrosive media, giving it a certain degree of corrosion resistance. In contrast, in one-step cross-linking polymerization, a large amount of resin and curing agent come into contact simultaneously, producing a large number of small cross-linked networks. Compared to stepwise cross-linking, the density is poor, leading to lower mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.

[0027] 2. The repair agent is formulated using a combination of pre-polymerization and mechanical blending. First, a small amount of resin and curing agent mixture is polymerized to form a small network polymer structure. This is then mixed with functional fillers, and the mixture is thoroughly mixed with the resin components before use and cured. The coating prepared using this method has a high degree of polymerization and a large molecular weight, resulting in better adhesion to the substrate and higher strength compared to traditional anti-corrosion coatings. It also possesses excellent flexibility, allowing it to withstand significant pressure changes when used for tank bottom plate repair. It has a long service life, requires no repeated application, and is suitable for various working conditions. Furthermore, the system does not contain any organic solvents, resulting in no VOC emissions during use, making it environmentally friendly and more eco-friendly. A highly corrosion-resistant resin is selected as the repair agent matrix, improving both the flexibility and mechanical strength of the repair agent while maintaining its anti-corrosion properties.

[0028] 3. The repair agent provided by this invention incorporates various functional pigments and fillers such as ferrosilicon powder, carbon black, and alkane oil into the coating. These filler elements fill resin voids, improving the adhesion of the repair agent to the metal substrate and hindering the penetration of corrosive media. The resin, curing agent, and fillers mutually promote each other, forming a unified whole. This ensures coating adhesion while imparting certain anti-corrosion and anti-aging properties to the coating. Furthermore, ferrosilicon powder and other components have a certain affinity for the substrate, contributing to improved adhesion between the repair agent and the substrate.

[0029] 4. The repair agent system prepared by the method of the present invention is a solvent-free system. No organic solvent is added during use or application. The small amount of diluent added during the reaction process is recovered and reused after dissipating and evaporating in the reaction, which is harmless to the environment and more green and environmentally friendly.
