Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polyester fibers, in particular to a method for preparing flame-retardant hydrophilic polyester fibers. Background Art

[0002] Polyester fiber is a linear high molecular polymer (the main component is polyethylene terephthalate, PET) made from dibasic acids and diols through condensation reaction. It is a synthetic fiber formed after spinning. It has the characteristics of high strength, good elasticity, wear resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. It is widely used in textiles and clothing, industrial fabrics, packaging materials and other fields. Its performance can be further optimized through copolymerization, blending, modification and other means to meet special functional requirements such as flame retardancy, hydrophilicity, and antibacterial.

[0003] Existing polyester fibers are often flame-retardant modified by halogen flame retardants or inorganic additives, but halogen flame retardants release toxic gases when burned, and inorganic additives require high addition amounts to achieve LOI ≥ 28%, which leads to increased hydrophobicity of polyester fibers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for preparing flame-retardant hydrophilic polyester fibers, which solves the problem that the hydrophobicity of polyester fibers is aggravated due to the flame-retardant modification of existing polyester fibers by halogen flame retardants or inorganic additives.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a flame-retardant hydrophilic polyester fiber, comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1: preparing a flame-retardant hydrophilic masterbatch: mixing polyethylene terephthalate chips, a halogen-free flame retardant, and a hydrophilic modifier in a mass ratio of 100:(6-14):(4-8), wherein the halogen-free flame retardant is a cyclic phosphonate compound, and the hydrophilic modifier is a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer having a molecular weight of 4000-7000;

[0007] S2: melt blending and extrusion granulation at 245-255℃ under nitrogen protection, residence time 4-6min;

[0008] S3: Mix the masterbatch with conventional polyester chips in a mass ratio of 1:(5-8), melt them through a screw extruder, and control the temperature of the three zones: zone 1 267-272°C, zone 2 272-277°C, zone 3 277-282°C, and the shear rate 1200-1400s -1 ;

The ratio balances the flame retardant efficiency and melt fluidity. The flame retardant acts through the condensed phase carbonization mechanism, and the hydrophilic agent enhances the hydrophilicity through hydrogen bonding.

[0013] S5 was treated with 8-12 wt% sulfonic acid surfactant (pH 3.5-4.5) at 75-85 °C for 25-35 min to achieve a sulfur grafting density of ≥1.5×10 -5 mol / g; S6 is dried and set at 115-125℃ (10-15℃ higher than Tg) for 12-18min, so that it can achieve a long-lasting effect of flame retardancy retention rate ≥95% and grafting density attenuation rate ≤5% after 50 washes, and realize the simultaneous enhancement of flame retardancy and hydrophilicity, thereby extending product life.

[0014] Preferably, the halogen-free flame retardant and the hydrophilic modifier are pretreated before mixing in S1: the cyclic phosphonate compound is vacuum dried at 60-80°C for 4-6 hours, with a moisture content of ≤300ppm; the polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer is ultrafinely ground to a particle size D50 = 10-25μm.

[0017] Preferably, in S3, the temperature gradient of the three zones of the screw extruder satisfies the following conditions: the temperature rise rate from zone 1 to zone 3 is ≤ 5°C / min; the residence time of the melt at the die is 90-110s; and the intrinsic viscosity is 0.65±0.03dL / g.

[0018] Preferably, in S4, the microporous structure of the composite spinneret satisfies the following conditions: the guide hole taper angle is 90°±5°, the guide hole length is 0.8-1.2 mm; the micropore outlet chamfer angle is 60°±5°, the chamfer depth is 0.05-0.08 mm; and the temperature difference between the spinneret surface and the three zones is ≤3°C.

[0019] Preferably, in S1, the polyethylene terephthalate chips are first preheated to 60±5°C, and then the pretreated cyclic phosphonate compound halogen-free flame retardant is added and dry-mixed for 5-8 minutes, and finally the ultrafinely ground polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer hydrophilic modifier is added; the temperature is maintained at 60±2°C throughout the mixing process and the heating rate is ≤2°C / min.

[0020] Preferably, the compound system of the sulfonic acid surfactant in S5 comprises: main active agent: sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium α-olefin sulfonate compounded in a mass ratio of (2.0-3.5):1; penetration enhancer: polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, added in an amount of 0.3-0.7% of the total mass of the surfactant; stability control agent: trisodium citrate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate compounded in a ratio of 1:(0.5-1.0), with a total concentration of 1.2-1.8wt%.

[0021] Preferably, an ultrasonic field is applied synchronously in S5 with parameters of a frequency of 50±2kHz and a power density of 0.8W / cm 3 .

[0022] Preferably, 0.5-1.0 wt % of triphenyl phosphite is added before the end of the reaction in S5 to quench the residual free radicals.

[0023] The present invention provides a method for preparing a flame-retardant hydrophilic polyester fiber. The method has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The present invention achieves a sulfonic acid group grafting density of ≥2.5×10 through dynamic adsorption control of the sulfonic acid surfactant composite system and combined with the diffusion enhancement effect of polyoxyethylene lauryl ether. -5 mol / cm 2 The fiber wicking rate is increased to 8mm / s; at the same time, with the help of the ultrasonic field-induced microjets and the synergistic effect of triphenyl phosphite quencher, the final flame retardant retention rate after 50 washes is ≥95%, and the grafting density attenuation rate is ≤5%. The long-lasting effect is achieved, and the flame retardancy and hydrophilicity are enhanced simultaneously, extending the product life.

[0025] 2. The present invention controls the extrusion melt flow rate at 25-35g / 10min (GB / T3682.1) through a twin-screw extruder, and coordinates the temperature rise rate of the three zones to ≤5°C / min, as well as the geometric optimization of the composite spinneret guide hole cone angle of 90°±5° and the chamfer depth of 0.05-0.08mm to coordinate the temperature control of the plate surface temperature difference of ≤3°C, so that the fiber strength dispersion coefficient is ≤4.8% and the melt shear rate gradient is ≤15%, thereby achieving high-stability continuous production and eliminating the outlet expansion deformation defect.

[0026] 3. The present invention vacuum-dries the cyclic phosphonate flame retardant at 60-80°C and ultrafinely grinds the hydrophilic modifier to a D50 of 10-25 μm. Combined with three-dimensional mixing under argon protection, the thermal decomposition rate of the flame retardant is reduced and the size of the hydrophilic agent dispersed phase is controlled to 0.2-0.5 μm. Polyester chips are preheated to 60±5°C, the flame retardant is dry-mixed, and the hydrophilic agent is added in the final stage. This allows the flame retardant to be embedded in the polyester surface layer to form a "core-shell" structure with a depth of 0.5-1.0 μm, and the melt coverage of the hydrophilic agent is greater than 90%. This enhances the synergy of the functional components of the raw materials and improves the thermal stability and component uniformity of the raw materials. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Figure 1 The present invention is a preparation flow chart of a method for preparing a flame retardant hydrophilic polyester fiber. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Please see the attached Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for preparing a flame-retardant hydrophilic polyester fiber, comprising the following steps:

[0030] S1: preparing a flame-retardant hydrophilic masterbatch: mixing polyethylene terephthalate chips, a halogen-free flame retardant, and a hydrophilic modifier in a mass ratio of 100:(6-14):(4-8), wherein the halogen-free flame retardant is a cyclic phosphonate compound, and the hydrophilic modifier is a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer with a molecular weight of 4000-7000;

[0031] S2: melt blending and extrusion granulation at 245-255℃ under nitrogen protection, residence time 4-6min;

[0032] S3: Mix the masterbatch with conventional polyester chips in a mass ratio of 1:(5-8), melt them through a screw extruder, and control the temperature of the three zones: zone 1 267-272°C, zone 2 272-277°C, zone 3 277-282°C, and the shear rate 1200-1400s -1 ;

[0033] S4: The melt is spun through a composite spinneret at a spinning speed of 3000-3400 m / min, a side-blowing temperature of 22-24°C, and a humidity of 70-75%;

[0034] S5: The fiber is immersed in an 8-12 wt% sulfonic acid surfactant aqueous solution, with a bath ratio of 1:20, a temperature of 75-85°C, and a time of 25-35 min;

[0035] S6: Drying and setting temperature 115-125℃, time 12-18min.

[0036] Specifically, in S1, polyethylene terephthalate chips are used as a matrix resin, mixed with a cyclic phosphonate compound halogen-free flame retardant and a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer hydrophilic modifier with a molecular weight of 4000-7000 g / mol in a mass ratio of 100:(6-14):(4-8). The ratio has been verified by thermogravimetric analysis to balance flame retardant efficiency and melt fluidity. The cyclic phosphonate promotes the formation of a dense carbon layer during fiber combustion through a condensed phase flame retardant mechanism, and the polyethylene glycol segment enhances hydrophilicity through hydrogen bonding. S2 is heated at 245°C under nitrogen protection. -255 ℃ for melt blending and extrusion granulation, with a residence time of 4-6 min. This temperature range is determined by differential scanning calorimetry to be the starting temperature of thermal decomposition of the flame retardant minus 15-20 ℃, ensuring the structural integrity of the flame retardant. At the same time, the aspect ratio of the twin-screw extruder is 40:1 and the speed is 200 rpm to ensure uniform dispersion of the components. S3 mixes the masterbatch with conventional polyester chips in a mass ratio of 1: (5-8), and then passes through the screw extruder at three temperature gradients of 267-272 ℃, 272-277 ℃, and 277-282 ℃ and a shear rate of 1200-1400s. -1 The melt was melted under the following conditions. The temperature gradient design was based on rheological tests to confirm that the apparent viscosity of the melt was stable at 180±10 Pa·s, and the shear rate threshold avoided excessive molecular chain breakage. The melt in S4 was spun through a composite spinneret with an aspect ratio of 4:1-6:1, with a spinning speed of 3000-3400 m / min to match the melt relaxation time. The side blowing conditions were controlled at 22-24°C and 70-75% relative humidity to induce a fiber crystallinity of 45±3%. The S5 impregnation treatment used an 8-12 wt% sulfonic acid surfactant aqueous solution with a bath ratio of 1:20, a temperature of 75-85°C for 25-35 min, and a solution pH of 3.5-4.5 to promote the free radical grafting of sulfonic acid groups onto the polyester surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy verified that the sulfur grafting density reached 1.5×10 -5mol / g; S6 drying and setting at 115-125℃ for 12-18min. This temperature range is within the glass transition temperature of polyester plus 10-15℃ to achieve fiber morphology fixation. The implementation effect is verified by standard tests: limiting oxygen index ≥30%, contact angle ≤58°, flame retardant performance retention rate ≥95% after 50 standard washes, breaking strength retention rate ≥97%, scanning electron microscopy shows that the thickness of the uniform grafted layer on the fiber surface is 0.8±0.1μm.

[0037] See attached Figure 1 The halogen-free flame retardant and the hydrophilic modifier need to be pretreated before mixing in S1: the cyclic phosphonate compound is vacuum dried at 60-80°C for 4-6 hours, and the moisture content is ≤300ppm; the polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer is ultrafinely ground to a particle size D50 = 10-25μm.

[0038] Specifically, in S1, the cyclic phosphonate compound halogen-free flame retardant needs to be dehydrated in a vacuum drying oven, with the temperature controlled at 60-80°C for 4-6 hours and the vacuum degree maintained at 0.095-0.100 MPa. The moisture content after treatment is strictly ≤300 ppm. This temperature range is determined based on the thermogravimetric analysis curve and can avoid the risk of thermal decomposition of the phosphorus-oxygen bond in the flame retardant molecule. At the same time, the polyethylene glycol polypropylene glycol block copolymer hydrophilic modifier needs to be treated in an ultrafine grinder, using a nitrogen-protected fluidized bed airflow milling process with a crushing pressure of 0.7-0.9 MPa and a feed rate of 20-30 kg / h. Finally, a powder with a volume-based median particle size D50 = 10-25 μm is obtained, and the particle size distribution span is <0.8. This particle size range is confirmed by a combined test of scanning electron microscopy and melt index: when D50>25 μm, the melt flow rate of the masterbatch decreases by 15%, and when D50<10 μm, the powder agglomeration rate is >10%. After pretreatment, the raw materials were transferred to a three-dimensional motion mixer under an argon atmosphere and mixed at a speed of 20 rpm for 40 minutes. The coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity was less than 5%. After this pretreatment, the thermal weight loss rate of the flame retardant was reduced to less than 0.5%, the melting time of the hydrophilic modifier was shortened by 30%, and the energy spectrum analysis of the masterbatch cross-section showed that the coefficient of variation of the phosphorus element distribution was less than 8%.

[0039] See attached Figure 1 The polyethylene glycol segment in the polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer accounts for 65±2%, the hydroxyl value is 45-60mgKOH / g; the molar ratio of propylene glycol / ethylene glycol repeating units is 1:(2.0-2.5); the surface tension of the aqueous solution at 25℃ is ≤40mN / m.

[0040] Specifically, the mass proportion of the polyethylene glycol segment in the polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer is controlled at 65±2%, and this ratio is quantitatively confirmed by characteristic peak area integration by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Its hydroxyl value ranges from 45 to 60 mgKOH / g, and is determined by the acetic anhydride pyridine method in accordance with GB / T12008.3 standard; the molar ratio of propylene glycol to ethylene glycol repeating units is fixed at 1:2.0-2.5, and the molecular segment composition distribution is determined by gel permeation chromatography coupled with a multi-angle laser light scattering instrument. This ratio is designed to ensure that the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of the copolymer is in the range of 12-14; a 5 wt% aqueous solution is prepared at 25°C, and the surface tension is measured by the platinum plate method to be ≤40 mN / m, and the testing equipment is a fully automatic surface tension meter (accuracy ±0.1 mN / m). When the proportion of polyethylene glycol is less than 63%, the water contact angle increases by more than 5°, while when it is above 67%, the melt flow rate decreases by 15%. When the hydroxyl value is lower than 45 mgKOH / g, the fiber grafting efficiency decreases by 30%, and when it is higher than 60 mgKOH / g, the side reaction rate increases by 20%. When the molar ratio of propylene glycol to ethylene glycol is less than 1:2.0, the cloud point of the copolymer exceeds 60°C, and when it is greater than 1:2.5, the surface tension rises to above 45 mN / m. The threshold value of surface tension ≤40 mN / m is verified by the Wilhelmy hanging plate method to stabilize the fiber contact angle ≤58°. The implementation effect is confirmed by FTIR and XPS: the copolymer meeting the above parameters has a dispersed phase size of 0.2-0.5 μm in the polyester matrix, and the sulfonic acid grafting density is increased to 1.8×10 -5 mol / g.

[0041] See attached Figure 1 In S2, the speed of the twin-screw extruder is 200-250 rpm, and the melt flow rate is controlled at 25-35 g / 10 min.

[0042] Specifically, during the twin-screw extrusion granulation process of S2, the extruder speed is controlled in the range of 200-250rpm. This parameter is determined based on the maximum torque limit of the screw and the melt shear thermal effect: when the speed is lower than 200rpm, the mixing efficiency decreases by 30%, and when it is higher than 250rpm, the melt temperature exceeds 260℃, causing the flame retardant to decompose. The melt flow rate is precisely controlled at 25-35g / 10min by adjusting the barrel temperature and screw combination (test conditions 290℃ / 2.16kg, according to GB / T3682.1 ), when the melt flow rate is lower than 25g / 10min, the qualified rate of masterbatch granulation drops to 85%, and when it is higher than 35g / 10min, the fiber strength loses 12%. The torque rheometer and scanning electron microscope verified that under the conditions of speed 230±10rpm and melt flow rate 30±1g / 10min, the flame retardant dispersed phase size is 0.5-1.5μm, and the particle size distribution span is <1.0; when the melt flow rate deviates from the optimal value by ±5g / 10min, the fiber limiting oxygen index fluctuation range is ≥2%.

[0043] See attached Figure 1 In S3, the temperature gradient of the three zones of the screw extruder satisfies the temperature rise rate from zone 1 to zone 3 of ≤5°C / min; the residence time of the melt at the die head is 90-110s; and the intrinsic viscosity is 0.65±0.03dL / g.

[0044] Specifically, in S3, the temperature gradient control of the three zones follows the principle of temperature rise rate ≤ 5°C / min, which is specifically implemented as follows: zone 1 267-272°C, zone 2 272-277°C, zone 3 277-282°C. The temperature sensor feeds back signals to the PLC system in real time, and the heating power is adjusted by the PID algorithm to ensure that the heating and cooling rates of adjacent temperature zones are ≤ 4.5°C / min. The temperature rise threshold is determined based on the dynamic viscoelasticity test of polyester melt - when the temperature rise rate is > 5°C / min, the fluctuation amplitude of the melt storage modulus exceeds 15%, resulting in the subsequent spinning breakage rate increasing to 25 times / 1,000 spindles. The residence time of the melt at the die head is maintained at 90-110s through the joint control of the screw speed and the melt pump speed. The time distribution was determined using the radioactive tracer germanium-68 (half-life 271 days) labeling method. When the residence time was <90 seconds, the flame retardant dispersed phase size was >2.0 μm. When it was >110 seconds, the intrinsic viscosity decreased by 0.05 dL / g, with a target intrinsic viscosity of 0.65±0.03 dL / g (test standard GB / T1632.1, phenol / tetrachloroethane mixed solvent at 35°C). The screw shear field was controlled in a closed loop using an online viscometer: when the intrinsic viscosity was >0.68 dL / g, the speed was reduced by 10-15 rpm; when it was <0.62 dL / g, the temperature in the three zones was increased by 2-3°C. The results were verified by rheometer and GPC: when the temperature rise rate was ≤5°C / min, the melt relaxation time distribution index was The intrinsic viscosity is 0.64±0.01dL / g at a residence time of 100±5s; the intrinsic viscosity of 0.65dL / g corresponds to a number average molecular weight of 25,000±800g / mol. This molecular weight threshold stabilizes the fiber strength at 4.3±0.2cN / dtex (GB / T14344).

[0045] See attached Figure 1 In S4, the microporous structure of the composite spinneret meets the following requirements: the guide hole cone angle is 90°±5°, the guide hole length is 0.8-1.2mm; the microporous outlet chamfer angle is 60°±5°, the chamfer depth is 0.05-0.08mm; the temperature difference between the spinneret surface and the three zones is ≤3°C.

[0046] Specifically, in S4, the microporous structure of the composite spinneret must meet the following conditions: the guide hole cone angle is controlled within the range of 90°±5°, and this angle has been verified by computational fluid dynamics simulation to make the melt shear rate gradient ≤15%; the guide hole axial length is set to 0.8-1.2mm, and when the length is <0.8mm, the melt fracture index is >0.15, and when it is >1.2mm, the pressure loss increases by 30%; the microporous outlet is chamfered at 60°±5°, with a chamfer depth of 0.05-0.08mm. The structure is laser co- Measurements using a focusing microscope (accuracy of ±0.001mm) verified that when the chamfer angle deviates from 60° by more than ±8°, the fiber diameter variation coefficient is >5%. A chamfer depth of <0.05mm cannot eliminate the outlet expansion effect, while a depth of >0.08mm will induce an eddy current frequency of >20Hz. The spinneret surface temperature is monitored in real time by an embedded thermocouple, and the difference between it and the temperature of the three zones of the screw extruder is ≤3°C. The temperature is controlled by a dual-channel circulating thermal oil system (oil temperature accuracy of ±0.5°C). A temperature difference of >3°C will result in a melt viscosity fluctuation of ≥10%.

[0047] See attached Figure 1 In S1, the polyethylene terephthalate chips are first preheated to 60±5°C, and then the pretreated cyclic phosphonate compound halogen-free flame retardant is added and dry-mixed for 5-8 minutes, and finally the ultrafinely crushed polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer hydrophilic modifier is added; the temperature is maintained at 60±2°C throughout the mixing process and the heating rate is ≤2°C / min.

[0048] Specifically, in S1, polyethylene terephthalate chips are first preheated to 60±5°C, which is the glass transition temperature of polyester minus 10-15°C as determined by differential scanning calorimetry, to avoid pre-crystallization (crystallization <3%) and reduce the surface free energy from 45mN / m to 32mN / m (determined by the Wilhelmy hanging plate method); then, a vacuum-dried cyclic phosphonate compound halogen-free flame retardant is added to perform dry mixing, and the mixing time is strictly controlled within 5-8 minutes. This range is determined based on discrete element simulation - when the time is <5 minutes, the flame retardant is unevenly dispersed, resulting in an agglomeration rate of >12%, and when it is >8 minutes, the flame retardant surface migration is triggered; dry mixing The process maintains a constant temperature of 60±2°C with a heating rate of ≤2°C / min, achieved through a PID temperature control module (accuracy of ±0.5°C). A temperature fluctuation of >±3°C will cause the polyester surface energy to fluctuate by ≥15%. Finally, a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer hydrophilic modifier, ultrafinely ground to a D50 of 10-25 μm, is added. Utilizing its softening point of 55-58°C, a molten surface coating is formed at 60°C. This hierarchical compatibility mechanism was verified by scanning electron microscopy: the flame retardant is embedded in the polyester surface layer to a depth of 0.5-1.0 μm, the hydrophilic agent forms a continuous phase coating structure, and the coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity is <5% (EDS surface scanning phosphorus element distribution).

[0049] See attached Figure 1 The compound system of sulfonic acid surfactant in S5 includes: main active agent: sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium α-olefin sulfonate are compounded in a mass ratio of (2.0-3.5):1; penetration enhancer: polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, the addition amount is 0.3-0.7% of the total mass of the surfactant; stability control agent: trisodium citrate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate are compounded in a mass ratio of 1:(0.5-1.0), with a total concentration of 1.2-1.8wt%.

[0050] Specifically, in S5, the sulfonic acid surfactant compound comprises: the main active agent is sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium α-olefin sulfonate, the mass ratio of the two is controlled at (2.0-3.5):1, the ratio is determined by measuring the tension value of the bubble life 1s by a dynamic surface tension meter ≤32mN / m, the dynamic adsorption efficiency is reduced by 30% when the ratio is <2.0, and the critical micelle concentration is increased to 0.18mmol / L when the ratio is >3.5; the penetration enhancer is polyoxyethylene lauryl ether with a molecular weight of 600±50g / mol, and the addition amount is 0.3-0.7% of the total mass of the surfactant. This range is expanded by fluorescence tracer. Experimental verification: when the addition amount is <0.3%, the penetration depth inside the fiber is ≤2.0μm; when it is >0.7%, the solution viscosity increases by 40%, resulting in a decrease in the bath exchange efficiency; the stability control agent is composed of trisodium citrate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate, compounded in a molar ratio of 1:(0.5-1.0), with a total concentration of 1.2-1.8wt%. This ratio is determined based on the Zeta potential test (-45±2mV) and the calcium ion chelation value ≥300mgCaCO3 / g. When the total concentration is <1.2wt%, the solution turbidity is >15NTU; when it is >1.8wt%, the conductivity exceeds 20mS / cm, causing fiber swelling.

[0051] See attached Figure 1 In S5, an ultrasonic field was applied synchronously with the parameters of frequency 50±2kHz and power density 0.8W / cm 3 .

[0052] Specifically, in S5, an ultrasonic field is applied synchronously, and its parameters are controlled at a frequency of 50±2kHz and a power density of 0.8W / cm 3 The frequency range is determined by the acoustic cavitation effect threshold: when the frequency is <48kHz, the cavitation bubble diameter is >150μm, resulting in micro-damage to the fiber surface; when the frequency is >52kHz, the sound intensity attenuation rate is >25%, and the power density is 0.8W / cm 3 After simulation and optimization of the sound intensity distribution, a piezoelectric ceramic transducer array (phase difference ≤ 5°) was used to achieve a sound intensity uniformity deviation of <15% in the reaction tank. Specifically, a directly coupled ultrasonic system was used: the transmitter was immersed at a depth of 10-15 mm, the pulse duty cycle was 80%, and cooling water was circulated to maintain a solution temperature rise of ≤2°C / h. A frequency of 50 kHz corresponded to a cavitation bubble resonance radius of 3.2 μm (Minnaert equation) and a power density of 0.8 W / cm3 The acoustic pressure amplitude reaches 0.45 MPa. This parameter combination has been verified by hydroxyl radical capture experiments (TA fluorescence method) to increase the reaction rate constant by 3.8 times. The quantitative data of the boundary effect are: the fiber strength loss rate is >8% at a frequency of 47 kHz, and the power density is 1.0 W / cm 3 The foaming rate of the initiating solution is >30%. The implementation effect is confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and XPS: it meets 50±2kHz and 0.8W / cm 3 The graft density of sulfonic acid groups reaches 2.5×10 -5 mol / cm 2 , the fiber wicking rate is increased to 8mm / s (AATCC197).

[0053] See attached Figure 1 Before the end of S5 reaction, 0.5-1.0 wt% triphenyl phosphite is added to quench the residual free radicals.

[0054] Specifically, in S5, 0.5-1.0 wt% triphenyl phosphite is added to the reaction system as a free radical quencher. The additive captures residual hydroxyl radicals through the PH bond of triphenylphosphine (bond energy 322 kJ / mol). The reaction follows the second-order kinetic equation with a rate constant k2 = 4.2 × 10 3 L·mol -1 ·s -1 (25℃), when the addition concentration is <0.5wt%, the quenching efficiency is <85%, resulting in a grafting density decay rate of >15% after 50 washes; >1.0wt% induces the precipitation of phosphorus-based byproducts, making the solution turbidity >20NTU. The specific implementation adopts a metering pump pulse injection method, controlling the addition rate to 5-8mL / min, and simultaneously cooling the system to 60±2℃ to inhibit side reactions. The quenching effect is verified by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy: when the addition amount is 0.8wt%, the free radical signal intensity is reduced to ≤1.0×10 13 spins / g, and the atomic concentration of phosphorus on the fiber surface is maintained at 0.3-0.5at% (XPS analysis).
