Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of emulsifiers, in particular to a paraffin emulsifier and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Paraffin wax is a long-chain compound with a straight-chain hydrocarbon structure. It does not contain hydrophilic groups in its molecules and is extremely oily. The emulsification of paraffin wax is to disperse it in water, change its surface tension with the help of the directional adsorption effect of the emulsifier, and form a highly dispersed, uniform, and stable emulsion under the action of mechanical external forces. The production of paraffin wax emulsion is already a fairly mature process and can be used in industries and fields such as papermaking, leather, wood, agriculture, explosives, medicine, ceramics, cosmetics, and automobile protection. Existing methods for emulsifying paraffin include: (1) surfactant emulsification method; this method uses surfactants (amphiphilic molecules) to adsorb on the interface between paraffin wax (oil phase) and water phase to reduce interfacial tension and form a stable water-in-oil (O / W) or oil-in-water (W / O) emulsion. (2) polymer emulsifier method; this method uses natural or synthetic polymer compounds to form a physical barrier (steric hindrance) at the oil-water interface to prevent droplet aggregation. (3) Phase transition temperature method (PIT method); This method changes the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity of nonionic surfactants by adjusting the temperature, prepares nanoemulsions near the phase transition temperature, and locks the structure after cooling. (4) High-energy mechanical emulsification method; This method breaks paraffin into micron or nanometer droplets by applying high-intensity mechanical forces (shear, impact, cavitation) and disperses them in water. (5) Self-emulsification method; This method introduces hydrophilic groups by chemically modifying paraffin (such as oxidation and sulfonation), causing it to spontaneously disperse in water to form an emulsion. (6) Pickering emulsion method; This method uses nano / micrometer-sized solid particles (such as silica, clay) to be adsorbed on the oil-water interface to form a physical barrier to stabilize the emulsion.

[0003] Existing methods of emulsifying paraffin have more or less shortcomings in terms of cost and environmental friendliness. In addition, the specific method to be chosen for emulsifying paraffin usually needs to consider the actual application scenario. Taking the use of emulsified paraffin in the production of artificial boards as an example, a certain amount of emulsified paraffin is mixed with the sizing agent into the wood fiber or sawdust to make the pressed artificial boards water-resistant and improve the surface finish. However, the existing emulsified paraffin may have a high hygroscopicity due to its strong hydrophilicity, which will cause the water absorption and expansion rate of the artificial boards to be too large. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of existing paraffin emulsifiers in taking both cost and environmental protection into account, and to provide a paraffin emulsifier and a preparation method thereof. The paraffin emulsifier prepared by the method provided by the present invention can take both cost and environmental protection into account at the same time and has good application prospects.
