Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in the present application shall have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application pertains. The features or characteristics mentioned in the present application or the features mentioned in the specific examples can be combined in any manner, and the specific examples are only used to illustrate the present application and not to limit the scope of the present application.

[0024] S1, filtering and drying the phosphogypsum crystal obtained after acid washing the phosphogypsum;

[0025] S2, adding a surface activator to the phosphogypsum crystal obtained in S1, and crystallizing after ball milling to obtain modified phosphogypsum crystal;

[0027] In some embodiments of the application, in S1, one or more of dilute acetic acid and dilute hydrochloric acid is used for acid washing. The acid can chemically react with impurities in the phosphogypsum, remove metal oxides and soluble organic matter in the phosphogypsum, thereby effectively improving the purity of the phosphogypsum and reducing the adverse effects of impurities on the performance of the subsequent material.

[0028] In some embodiments of the application, in S1, the temperature for drying and crystallizing is 80-100℃, and the time for drying and crystallizing is 6-8h.

[0029] In some embodiments of the application, in S2, the amount of the surface activator added is 0.1-2% of the mass of the phosphogypsum crystal, and the surface activator includes one or more of silane KH-550, silane KH-570, vinyl triethoxysilane, dodecyl phosphate and octadecyl phosphate. The molecular structure of the surface activator contains a group that can react with the hydroxyl group on the surface of the phosphogypsum, and the organic group at the other end has good affinity with polypropylene, thereby playing a bridging role between the phosphogypsum and polypropylene, enhancing the interfacial bonding force between the two, and improving the mechanical properties of the polypropylene manhole special material.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, in S2, the crystallization temperature is 80-120 DEG C, and the length-diameter ratio of the modified phosphogypsum crystal is 6-10. At the crystallization temperature, the surface activator can better act on the surface of the phosphogypsum crystal to form a uniform coating layer. The obtained modified phosphogypsum crystal plays a role similar to that of a reinforcing fiber in a polypropylene matrix, effectively improving the mechanical properties of the material such as tensile strength and bending strength.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, in S3, the mass ratio of the polypropylene and the modified phosphogypsum crystal is 60-80:40-20.

The role of the activator is to initiate the crosslinking reaction of the polypropylene molecular chain or the chemical reaction with the surface of the modified phosphogypsum crystal during the melt blending process, to produce free radical structures in the polypropylene molecular chain and the organic structure molecular chain on the surface of the modified phosphogypsum. By using the activity of the newly generated free radicals, a covalent structure is formed at the interface, the bonding force between the polypropylene phase and the modified phosphogypsum phase is improved, the interaction within the polypropylene inspection well special material is enhanced, and the strength, heat resistance and other properties of the polypropylene inspection well special material are improved.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, in S3, the addition amount of the auxiliary activator is 1-5% of the mass of the polypropylene, and the auxiliary activator includes one or more of cyanuric acid and triallyl isocyanurate. The auxiliary activator is added to ethanol to form an ethanol dispersion of the auxiliary activator, the ethanol dispersion of the auxiliary activator is added to the polypropylene, and mixing is carried out in a high-speed mixer at about 80 DEG C with a speed of 1500-3000 r / min. During the mixing process, ethanol is volatilized, and the mixing is stopped after the ethanol is volatilized.

[0035] The auxiliary activator cooperates with the activator to promote the chemical reaction, and meanwhile, the auxiliary activator can improve the processing performance of the polypropylene inspection well special material, reduce the melt viscosity of the polypropylene inspection well special material, make the polypropylene inspection well special material more smooth in the extrusion process, improve the production efficiency, and further enhance the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the polypropylene inspection well special material.

[0056] Test Example 1

[0057] a, contact angle test of the modified phosphogypsum crystal

[0058] The modified phosphogypsum crystal obtained in Examples 1-5 was subjected to a contact angle test, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0059] Table 1, contact angle data table of the modified phosphogypsum crystal obtained in Examples 1-5

[0060]

[0061] The contact angle is an important index for measuring the wettability of a solid surface, and the greater the contact angle, the stronger the hydrophobicity of the solid surface. As can be seen from Table 1, the modified phosphogypsum crystals obtained have hydrophobicity, and in the preparation of the modified phosphogypsum crystals, the surface activator is successfully coated on the surface of the phosphogypsum crystals, changes the surface properties thereof, changes the hydrophilicity thereof into strong hydrophobicity, and a large number of hydrophobic groups are directed outward, so that the contact angle is significantly increased.

[0062] The modified phosphogypsum crystals with hydrophobicity are used for compounding with polypropylene, which can reduce the invasion of water into the polypropylene inspection well special material and improve the water resistance thereof. On the other hand, good hydrophobicity is also conducive to better dispersion of the polypropylene inspection well special material in the polypropylene matrix and avoids agglomeration. Since the polypropylene itself is also a hydrophobic material, the compatibility of the two is improved due to the similar hydrophobicity, thereby positively affecting the mechanical properties of the polypropylene inspection well special material.

[0063] b. Mechanical property test of the polypropylene inspection well special material

[0064] The mechanical properties of the polypropylene inspection well special material prepared in Examples 1-5 are tested, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0065] Table 2, mechanical property data table of the polypropylene inspection well special material prepared in Examples 1-5

[0066]

[0067] The mechanical properties of the polypropylene used in Examples 1-5 are tested, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0068] Table 3, mechanical property data table of the polypropylene used in Examples 1-5

[0069]

[0070] As can be seen from Table 2 and Table 3, in the preparation method provided by the present application, the modified phosphogypsum crystals used play a reinforcing role in the polypropylene matrix, improve the tensile strength, but the impact strength decreases to different degrees.

[0071] Therefore, in the preparation method of the polypropylene inspection well special material reinforced by the modified phosphogypsum, the surface activator is added to modify the phosphogypsum crystals, improve the compatibility of the phosphogypsum crystals with the polypropylene, so that the two can be better combined during mixing, and the overall performance of the polypropylene inspection well special material is improved.

[0072] It should be pointed out finally that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit it, and although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can still be modified or replaced equivalently, and these modifications or equivalent replacements should not make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
