Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of greases, and particularly relates to an anti-corrosion grease for ships in a seawater environment and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Lubricating grease for ships in seawater is a lubricant specially designed for marine environments, mainly used for underwater components of ships, such as bearings, gears, etc. This lubricating grease needs to have good seawater resistance, anti-marine biofouling, extreme pressure and anti-wear, and anti-corrosion properties to ensure the normal operation of ship equipment in harsh marine environments.
[0003] The marine environment is completely different from the land environment. Firstly, the lubricating grease is easily eroded by seawater salt and causes loss; moreover, it is easily affected by marine organisms. For example, barnacles, algae, and microorganisms will accelerate the loss of the lubricating grease's function. However, the currently used biocides are toxic to marine organisms and will cause pollution to the ocean in the long term; not only that, during the use of the lubricating grease, it is easier to wrap seawater and cause the device to rust.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a marine ship lubricating grease that is green, has strong rust resistance, and has a hydrophobic effect on seawater. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an anti-corrosion grease for ships in a seawater environment and a preparation method thereof. The lubricating grease prepared by the present invention can be applied to seawater ships, has strong corrosion resistance to seawater, reduces the moisture content of the lubricating grease through the hydrophobic effect on seawater, effectively deals with seawater microorganisms and their secretions to reduce the corrosion of the lubricating grease, and at the same time has environmental protection performance and little impact on marine organisms (such as fish, plants, etc.).
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present invention provides an anti-corrosion grease for ships in a seawater environment, comprising the following components in parts by mass:
[0008] 70 - 80 parts of composite base oil, 1 - 5 parts of environmentally friendly biocide, 1 - 10 parts of hydrophobic barrier agent, 1 - 5 parts of rust inhibitor, 1 - 3 parts of antioxidant, 1 - 2 parts of extreme pressure and anti-wear agent, and 10 - 20 parts of thickener.
[0009] Preferably, the composite base oil is a mixture of PAO synthetic oil and modified castor oil ester in a mass ratio of 50:(10 - 30).
[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the environmentally friendly biocide is as follows:
[0011] A. Mix the graphene oxide dispersion, sodium hydroxide, and chloroacetic acid and react to obtain carboxylated graphene;
[0012] B. Mix the carboxylated graphene with a copper sulfate solution, stir, and then add ascorbic acid to react to obtain nano-copper-carboxylated graphene;
[0013] C. Mix nano-copper-carboxylated graphene, tannic acid, and an ethanol solution, react, and then centrifuge to obtain an environmentally friendly biocide.
[0014] Preferably, in step A, the volume-mass ratio of the graphene oxide dispersion, sodium hydroxide, and chloroacetic acid is 100 mL : (0.1 - 3) g : (0.5 - 1) g; the concentration of the graphene oxide dispersion is 10 mg / mL.
[0015] Preferably, in step B, the mass-volume ratio of carboxylated graphene, copper sulfate solution, and ascorbic acid is 100 mg : (5 - 15) mL : 5 mL; the concentration of the copper sulfate solution is 0.1 - 0.3 mol / L, and the concentration of the ascorbic acid is 0.2 - 0.5 mol / L.
[0016] Preferably, the stirring time in step B is 2 - 4 h, the reaction temperature is 70 °C, and the time is 2 - 4 h.
[0017] Preferably, in step C, the mass ratio of nano-copper-carboxylated graphene, tannic acid, and ethanol solution is (1 - 5) : (1 - 5) : 100.
[0018] Preferably, the reaction temperature in step C is 40 - 50 °C, and the reaction time is 3 - 6 h.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, graphene acts as a carrier to prevent the oxidation of nano-copper. At the same time, its high specific surface area increases the adsorption amount of the rust inhibitor, forming a double protection of "physical barrier + chemical corrosion inhibition". Nano-copper inhibits the metabolism of microorganisms to produce acid and prevents microbially induced corrosion by releasing copper ions to damage the microbial cell membrane. The catechol groups in tannic acid molecules form five-membered ring chelates with copper ions, covering the active sites on the metal surface and inhibiting the electrochemical corrosion reaction; at the same time, tannic acid replaces toxic zinc salts by destroying the integrity of the microbial cell membrane and inhibiting enzyme activity.
[0020] Preferably, the preparation method of the hydrophobic barrier agent is as follows:
[0021] Disperse nano-silica in absolute ethanol, add 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7 - heptadecafluorodecyltriethoxysilane and react at 60 °C for 2 hours, and then add polydimethylsiloxane and azobisisobutyronitrile to react to obtain fluorinated polysiloxane grafted nano-silica, that is, the hydrophobic barrier agent.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, fluorinated polysiloxane contains a large number of fluorocarbon chains and its surface energy is extremely low, making the surface of the material difficult to be wetted by water. This low surface energy significantly increases the contact angle, forming a super hydrophobic state. Nano-silica particles (particle size 30-200nm) are grafted on the surface of fluorinated polysiloxane to form a micro-nano composite structure. This roughness further amplifies the hydrophobicity, making it difficult for water droplets to penetrate the surface, but instead rolls off in a spherical shape. When seawater (Na + , Cl + When fluorinated polysiloxane (such as fluorinated polysiloxane) contacts a super-hydrophobic surface, salt is difficult to deposit due to surface repulsion. At the same time, the chemical stability of fluorinated polysiloxane can resist salt corrosion and prevent the destruction of the grease structure due to salt crystallization. Traditional greases tend to form water-in-oil (W / O) emulsions when exposed to seawater, resulting in a sudden increase in viscosity. Fluorinated polysiloxane grafted nano-silica destroys the stability of the emulsion and prevents encapsulation by reducing the interfacial tension gradient (>5mN / m·cm).
[0023] Preferably, the rust inhibitor is one or more of calcium petroleum sulfonate, barium petroleum sulfonate, alkyl diphenylamine, and benzotriazole.
[0024] Preferably, the antioxidant is alkyl diphenylamine or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol.
[0025] Preferably, the extreme pressure anti-wear agent is one of thiophosphate acrylate, di-n-butyl phosphite, and dibutyl dithiocarbamate molybdenum.
[0026] Preferably, the thickener is a lithium soap-based thickener or a complex calcium sulfonate-based thickener.
[0027] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned anti-corrosion grease for ships in seawater environment: the composite base oil and thickener are mixed at 80°C and then environmentally friendly bio-inhibitors, hydrophobic barriers, rust inhibitors, antioxidants and extreme pressure anti-wear agents are added in sequence and mixed evenly.
[0028] Contains at least the following beneficial technical effects:
[0029] The grease prepared by the present invention can be used in seawater ships, has strong resistance to seawater corrosion, reduces the water content of the grease by distancing the seawater, and effectively responds to seawater microorganisms and their secretions to reduce corrosion to the grease. It also has environmentally friendly properties and has little impact on marine life (fish, plants, etc.). DETAILED DESCRIPTION
