Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sole manufacturing, in particular to the application of waste diatomite and white carbon black, a sole material, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] During beer production, diatomaceous earth is widely used to filter beer mash to remove impurities and suspended matter, ensuring beer clarity and taste. However, the spent diatomaceous earth after filtration is often considered waste and cannot be directly recycled, resulting in a waste of resources and increased processing costs for companies.

[0003] In the footwear industry, soles are typically made of synthetic materials such as synthetic rubber and EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer). While these materials offer excellent wear resistance and elasticity, their production relies heavily on petroleum resources and can pollute the environment. In recent years, with growing environmental awareness, soles made from some renewable materials have gradually appeared on the market, but these materials still have drawbacks in terms of wear resistance, cost, and production process.

[0004] With rapid socioeconomic development, people's expectations for footwear are growing. Early consumers primarily focused on whether shoes were sturdy and durable. With social progress and improved living standards, consumers are increasingly concerned with shoe quality and performance. Safety and comfort are the development goals of the entire footwear industry. Data shows that sole materials account for approximately 50% of a shoe's weight.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sole material with good wear resistance and an environmentally friendly production process, and at the same time recycle waste diatomaceous earth to reduce production costs and reduce environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention
