Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aramid fibers, and particularly to a low water content aramid nanofiber and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Para-aramid nanofibers (ANFs) are aramid fibers with diameters ranging from a dozen to several hundred nanometers and lengths reaching several to dozens of micrometers. Their chemical composition, chemical structure, and crystal structure are identical to those of aramid fibers, inheriting the excellent properties unique to aramid fibers, such as high temperature resistance, high strength, and good insulation performance. At the same time, their unique large aspect ratio structure, huge specific surface area, have received extensive attention in the fields of composite materials, lithium batteries, electronics, etc.

[0003] Currently, there are mainly two routes for the preparation of aramid nanofibers: the top-down method and the bottom-up method. The most common top-down method is to continuously stir aramid fibers or powders in an alkaline solution (KOH / DMSO) to protonate the aramid fibers and split them into nanofibers. This method takes a long time for stirring and has a low yield. In patent CN 110656393A, this method was improved, and the stirring time was minimized to 4h, but it still does not have the ability of continuous production. The bottom-up method, as described in patent CN105153413A: aramid polymers after polycondensation reaction are dispersed by high-speed shear to obtain aramid nanofibers. This method can be continuously produced and has been industrially produced. However, there are still some problems that limit the application of aramid nanofibers: ① In the fields of lithium batteries, electricity, insulation, etc., the water content has a great impact on the product performance, and generally requires the water content of raw materials to be <200 ppm, or even lower. However, water is often used as a fiber-forming or cleaning agent during the processing of aramid nanofibers, and it is difficult to achieve a low water content. ② In the field of composite material reinforcement, aramid nanofibers with water as the dispersion medium are difficult to be compounded with general resin systems, restricting the expansion of their application fields. ③ The recycling process is long, with high energy consumption and cost.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a low water content aramid nanofiber and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a preparation method of a low water content aramid nanofiber. The aramid nanofiber dispersion prepared by the method provided by the present invention has a water content of less than 200 ppm, and the dispersion has good stability and can be stored for a long time without special conditions.

[0006] The present invention provides a preparation method of a low water content aramid nanofiber, comprising the following steps:

[0007] A) Under an inert gas protection atmosphere, calcium chloride solution, p-phenylenediamine and terephthaloyl chloride are mixed and reacted until the viscosity of the system increases and a gel appears, and the reaction is terminated;

[0008] B) The gel is added to N-methylpyrrolidone for dilution and homogenously dispersed to obtain a diluted solution;

[0009] C) The diluted solution is added to a fiber-forming solvent and homogenously dispersed to obtain a fiber-formed dispersion; the fiber-forming solvent is dichloromethane or chloroform;

[0010] D) The fiber-formed dispersion is pressure-filtered, and the filter cake is put into a displacement kettle, added with N-methylpyrrolidone for cleaning and then pressure-filtered again to obtain aramid nanofibers.

[0011] The preparation method of the aramid nanofibers with low water content provided by the present invention first conducts polymerization: under an inert gas protection atmosphere, calcium chloride solution, p-phenylenediamine and terephthaloyl chloride are mixed and reacted until the viscosity of the system increases and a gel appears, and the reaction is terminated.

[0012] The inert gas described in the present invention includes nitrogen. That is: in a nitrogen protection atmosphere, calcium chloride is dissolved in N-methylpyrrolidone, and then p-phenylenediamine is dissolved at a low temperature.

[0013] The calcium chloride solution is a calcium chloride N-methylpyrrolidone solution, and the mass fraction of calcium chloride in N-methylpyrrolidone is 3.2% - 7.8%; specifically, it can be: 3.2%, 3.4%, 3.6%, 3.8%, 4.0%, 4.2%, 4.4%, 4.6%, 4.8%, 5.0%, 5.2%, 5.4%, 5.6%, 5.8%, 6.0%, 6.2%, 6.4%, 6.6%, 6.8%, 7.0%, 7.2%, 7.4%, 7.6%, 7.8%; or the point values between any two of the above.

[0014] The dissolution temperature of p-phenylenediamine is 0 - 5°C, and the molar concentration of p-phenylenediamine is 0.2M.

[0015] Then terephthaloyl chloride is added, and the mixture is strongly stirred and reacted until the viscosity of the system increases and a gel appears, and the reaction is terminated.

[0016] The molar ratio of terephthaloyl chloride to p-phenylenediamine in the present invention is 1.005 - 1.020; specifically, it can be 1.005, 1.006, 1.007, 1.008, 1.009, 1.010, 1.011, 1.012, 1.013, 1.014, 1.015, 1.016, 1.017, 1.018, 1.019, 1.020; or the point values between any two of the above.

[0017] The frozen colloid is added to N-methylpyrrolidone for dilution and homogenously dispersed to obtain a diluted solution. That is, the frozen colloid is added to N-methylpyrrolidone, and a homogenizer is used for shear dispersion to make it into a flowable solution state.

[0018] According to the present invention, the mass ratio of the frozen colloid to N-methylpyrrolidone is 1:6 to 16. Specifically, it can be 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16; or the point values between any two of the above; or the range values between any two of the above.

[0019] The diluted solution is added to a fiber-forming solvent and homogenously dispersed to obtain a dispersed solution after fiber formation; the fiber-forming solvent is dichloromethane or chloroform.

[0020] According to the present invention, the volume ratio of the diluted solution to the fiber-forming solvent is 1:0.3 to 5, and it can be 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:0.8, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5; or the point values between any two of the above; or the range values between any two of the above.

[0021] The shear linear velocity of the homogenizer is 30 to 34 m / s; specifically, it can be 30 m / s, 31 m / s, 32 m / s, 33 m / s, 34 m / s.

[0022] The dispersed solution after fiber formation is pressure-filtered, and the filter cake enters a displacement kettle, where it is washed with N-methylpyrrolidone and then pressure-filtered again to obtain aramid nanofibers.

[0023] According to the present invention, the pressure of the pressure filter is 0.1 MPa to 1.2 MPa; specifically, it can be 0.1 MPa, 0.2 MPa, 0.3 MPa, 0.4 MPa, 0.5 MPa, 0.6 MPa, 0.7 MPa, 0.8 MPa, 0.9 MPa, 1.0 MPa, 1.1 MPa, 1.2 MPa.

[0024] The solid content of the aramid nanofiber finished product prepared by the present invention is 0.5% to 2%, the average diameter of the nanofibers is 5 nm to 50 nm, and the moisture content is less than 200 ppm.

[0025] After step D) of the present invention, it further includes neutralization and recovery: the filtrates from the two pressure filtrations enter a neutralization kettle, and under the condition of stirring, a neutralizing agent or a mixed slurry of N-methylpyrrolidone is used for neutralization. The neutralized filtrate separates the solvent through an evaporator and enters storage tanks for storage respectively.

[0026] The neutralizing agent according to the present invention is calcium oxide, and the mass fraction of the neutralizing agent is 10% to 15%; specifically, it can be 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%.

[0027] The evaporation parameters of the evaporator in the present invention are a vacuum degree of -0.92 to -0.097 MPa and an evaporation temperature of 55°C to 95°C; the solvent obtained by evaporation is dichloromethane or chloroform and enters the fiber-forming solvent storage tank; the solvent obtained by evaporation is N-methylpyrrolidone and enters the dilution solvent storage tank.

[0028] In the preparation process of the present invention, the selected dilution solvent and the fiber-forming solvent have a large difference in boiling point, are easy to separate, have a short recovery process, and low energy consumption. The solvents used are common solvents in the aramid industry, without introducing new reagents, which is conducive to the unified integration of the production of various aramid products. This dispersion can be well matched with the existing technologies in multiple industries (such as lithium battery separator coating, composite material reinforcement, etc.).

[0029] A low-water-content aramid nanofiber of the present invention is prepared by the preparation method described in any one of the above.

[0030] The preparation process of the present invention does not involve water, and the water content of the prepared aramid nanofibers can be conveniently controlled below 200 ppm. The nanofibers are dispersed in N-methylpyrrolidone and have good stability and can be stored for a long time.

[0059] Comparative Example 3:

[0060] In a nitrogen atmosphere, N-methylpyrrolidone was added to dissolve calcium chloride at high temperature, and the mass fraction of calcium chloride was 6.6%.

NMP entered the NMP solvent storage tank and could be reused in the dilution section. The diameter distribution of this comparative example is shown in Figure 5 ; It can be seen from Figure 5 that the shear rate is too low and the fiber diameter is too large.
