Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fine chemicals, and in particular to a method for preparing a composite emulsion of fatty alcohol, paraffin and polyether ester. In particular, to address the problem of poor mixing stability of fatty alcohol emulsion and polyether ester emulsion, a solution is proposed that combines step-by-step emulsification, high-pressure homogenization and low-temperature compounding. Background Art

[0002] Fatty alcohol and polyetherester emulsions are widely used in textiles, daily chemicals, and other fields. However, direct mixing of the two is prone to problems such as delamination and flocculation, primarily due to differences in polarity and incompatibility of the emulsifying systems. Traditional methods typically use a single emulsifier or simple blending, but these methods lack the stability required to meet industrial requirements.

[0003] In the prior art, patent CN101690857B prepares an emulsion by compounding natural higher fatty alcohols, paraffin, polyether emulsifiers, alkyl glycosides, and thickeners. Patent CN102600647A adds anionic surfactants in the later stage of the emulsification process to make them adsorb on the surface of the fatty alcohol, but the compatibility and stability in different application systems still need to be improved; patent CN109369903A provides a method for preparing a narrow distribution fatty alcohol polyether, but does not mention the ability to suppress foam in industrial applications. Emulsions in the prior art are prone to stratification, flocculation, aggregation, and even demulsification during long-term storage or under harsh conditions, resulting in a decrease in their defoaming performance or failure. Although paraffin emulsions can improve the dispersibility of hydrophobic components, their compatibility with polyether esters is still insufficient. The emulsion may stratify during storage due to insufficient compatibility, thereby affecting its defoaming effect; and the synergistic effect of high-pressure homogenization and inorganic salts in the prior art has not been fully explored. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The fatty alcohol-polyether ester composite emulsion of the present invention is composed of the following components:

[0005] A. Paraffin

[0006] The paraffin wax of the present invention is a hydrocarbon compound extracted from petroleum, shale oil or other asphalt mineral oil, such as microcrystalline paraffin or liquid paraffin. The amount of paraffin wax used accounts for 2-8% of the total amount of the emulsion.

[0007] B. Nonionic emulsifier

[0008] The nonionic emulsifier described in the present invention is a commonly used nonionic surfactant selected from sorbitan monostearate (S-60), sorbitan monooleate (S-80), sorbitan monostearate polyoxyethylene ether ester (T-60), sorbitan monooleate polyoxyethylene ether ester (T-80), fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, oleic acid polyoxyethylene ether, castor oil polyoxyethylene ether, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, peregal O-15, peregal O-20, peregal O-25, peregal O-50, AEO-3, AEO-5, AEO-7, AEO-9, AEO-10, AEO-15, AEO-20, and AEO-22. The nonionic emulsifier is used in an amount of 0.1-10% of the total emulsion. The nonionic emulsifier is applied in two steps, represented by B1 and B2, respectively.

[0009] C. Water

[0010] In the present invention, the amount of water used accounts for 50-70% of the total amount of the emulsion. The water is used in two parts, represented by C1 and C2 respectively.

[0011] D. Polyether ester

[0012] The polyether ester of the present invention is prepared by a technique known in the art. Specifically, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, dibasic acid, and fatty acid are mixed in a molar ratio of 2-5:1:2-3:2-3.5 under a nitrogen atmosphere with p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst, heated to 150-200°C, stirred, and reacted for 5-8 hours. After the reaction, the mixture is cooled to 40°C and the pH is adjusted to 6-7 with ethanolamine to obtain the polyether ester. The amount of the polyether ester used accounts for 10-50% of the total amount of the emulsion.

[0013] E. Fatty alcohol

[0014] The fatty alcohols described herein are monohydric to trihydric C16-C30 alcohols, including synthetic and natural fatty alcohols. Synthetic fatty alcohols can be obtained by oxidation of aluminum alkyls via the Ziegler process or by carbonyl synthesis; natural fatty alcohols can be extracted from oils and fats. Specifically, these fatty alcohols include those containing a single carbon atom, such as C16, C18, C20, C22, C24, C26, C28, and C30; as well as mixed fatty alcohols containing varying numbers of carbon atoms, such as C16-18 mixed alcohols and C16-22 mixed alcohols, one or more of which can be selected. The amount of fatty alcohol used should account for 15-25% of the total emulsion volume.

[0015] F. Inorganic salt solution

[0016] The inorganic salt in the present invention is selected from sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium citrate, ammonium sulfate, sodium carbonate, and urea, with a concentration of 0.1-1.0 wt %. The amount of the inorganic salt solution used accounts for 2-5% of the total mass of the emulsion.

[0017] The present invention provides a method for preparing a composite emulsion. By using step-by-step emulsification, high-pressure homogenization, and low-temperature compounding processes, combined with the charge regulation effect of inorganic salts, the stability of the fatty alcohol-polyether ester composite emulsion is significantly improved. The specific steps include:

[0018] (1) Dissolve paraffin wax and nonionic emulsifier in 70-85℃ water and prepare paraffin wax emulsion (solid content 10-30%) by high-speed shearing (8000-12000 rpm).

[0020] (3) Fatty alcohol pretreatment: Heat the fatty alcohol to 60-75°C to melt, mix it with paraffin emulsion at a mass ratio of 1:1-3, and pass it through a high-pressure homogenizer (pressure 50-100 MPa, cycle 2-3 times) to obtain a uniform emulsion.

[0021] (4) Low-temperature compounding and salt regulation: The homogenized fatty alcohol-paraffin emulsion is slowly added dropwise to the low-temperature polyether ester emulsion (dropping speed 1-2 mL / min, stirring rate 10000-30000 rpm), and then the inorganic salt solution is added. The mixture is stirred at 100-500 rpm for 30-60 min to finally obtain a stable composite emulsion, which is the fatty alcohol-polyether ester composite emulsion of the present invention.

[0022] Beneficial effects

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. Use nonionic emulsifiers in steps to avoid competitive adsorption between components of different polarity;

[0025] 2. High-pressure homogenization improves the interfacial bonding strength between fatty alcohol and paraffin wax, reducing phase separation during polyetherester mixing;

[0026] 3. Low-temperature compounding reduces molecular thermal motion, and inorganic salts compress the double electrical layer through the "salting-out effect", synergistically improving the stability of the emulsion. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A fatty alcohol-polyether ester composite emulsion according to claim 1, characterized in that the fatty alcohol of component E is a monohydric to trihydric alcohol of C16-C30, including synthetic fatty alcohols and natural fatty alcohols; the synthetic fatty alcohols can be obtained by oxidation of alkyl aluminum by the Ziegler method or by carbonyl synthesis; the natural fatty alcohols can be obtained by extraction from oils and fats; specifically, the fatty alcohols include fatty alcohols containing a single carbon atom, such as C16 alcohol, C18 alcohol, C20 alcohol, C22 alcohol, C24 alcohol, C26 alcohol, C28 alcohol, and C30 alcohol; and mixed fatty alcohols containing different numbers of carbon atoms, such as C16-18 mixed alcohol and C16-22 mixed alcohol, one or more of which are selected.

7. A fatty alcohol-polyether ester composite emulsion according to claim 1, characterized in that the inorganic salt of component F is selected from sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium citrate, ammonium sulfate, sodium carbonate, and urea, and has a concentration of 0.1-1.0 wt%.
