Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of filter elements, and particularly relates to a preparation method of aramid filter material suitable for an alkaline radiation environment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the nuclear energy industry, the treatment of radioactive wastewater is a key link to ensure environmental safety and stable operation. Due to the presence of high-concentration strong alkaline substances such as sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide in nuclear wastewater, the pH value of the wastewater is usually higher than 12, which poses a severe chemical corrosion challenge to the filter material. At present, glass fiber filter elements are widely used in nuclear wastewater treatment systems due to their good high-temperature resistance and high mechanical strength. However, long-term exposure to a high-alkaline environment can cause the silicon-oxygen bond (Si-O-Si) in the glass fiber to be attacked by OH- ions, leading to an "alkali dissolution" reaction, material structure damage, strength reduction, and even fiber breakage, thereby affecting the filtration efficiency and system safety.

[0003] To solve this problem, researchers have attempted to introduce aramid fibers as a replacement material. Aramid filter elements have excellent chemical corrosion resistance and thermal stability, and exhibit good resistance to dissolution in a short-term alkaline environment. Studies have shown that the aromatic amide structure on the surface of aramid fibers can effectively resist the erosion of OH- ions and delay the aging process of the material. However, even so, long-term exposure to an extremely high-alkaline environment can still cause partial hydrolysis of the aramid molecular chain, especially in the case where alkalinity and radiation coexist, the fiber structure will gradually deteriorate, and eventually some degree of dissolution and performance degradation will occur. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of aramid filter material suitable for an alkaline radiation environment. This method can more effectively improve the durability and stability of aramid fibers in a high-alkaline and radiation environment, and solve the problem of structural damage and performance degradation of aramid fibers after long-term work in a high-alkaline radiation environment.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of the present application is as follows:

[0006] A preparation method of aramid filter material suitable for an alkaline radiation environment, the method comprising:

[0007] S1: adding polyol, p-phenylene diisocyanate, and a catalyst into a reaction kettle to obtain a primary prepolymer;

[0008] S2: adding a diamine chain extender and a crosslinking agent into the primary prepolymer to obtain a secondary prepolymer;

[0009] S3: adding deionized water and a curing agent to the secondary prepolymer for dispersion and emulsification to obtain a stable polyurethane glue solution;

[0010] S4: after the aramid fiber is carded and separated, the aramid fiber is immersed in the polyurethane glue solution for impregnation treatment, the aramid fiber after the impregnation treatment is introduced into a microwave heating box for curing and forming to obtain the aramid filter material.

[0011] Further, the step S1 is specifically: 60-75 parts by mass of polyhydric alcohol is added to a reaction kettle, stirred and heated to 100-120 DEG C, then vacuumized and cooled to 35-40 DEG C, 20-30 parts by mass of p-phenylene diisocyanate and 5-10 parts by mass of a catalyst are added, and polymerization is carried out at 75-90 DEG C for 2-4 hours to obtain a primary prepolymer.

[0012] Further, the polyhydric alcohol is one or both of polyester polyol and polyether polyol, the molecular weight of the polyester polyol is 1000-2000, the molecular weight of the polyether polyol is 2000-4000, the polyester polyol is one or more of polyneopentyl glycol adipate diol, sulfonate polyester diol and polybutylene glycol adipate polyol, and the polyether polyol is polytetramethylene ether glycol.

[0013] Further, the catalyst is one or more of bismuth neodecanoate, bismuth iso-octoate and bismuth laurate.

[0014] Further, the step S2 is specifically: 3-6 parts by mass of a diamine chain extender is added to the primary prepolymer, and incubation is carried out at 70-90 DEG C for 1-3 hours; then cooled to 30-40 DEG C, 1-2 parts by mass of a crosslinking agent is added, and continues to react at 60-70 DEG C for 1-3 hours to obtain a secondary prepolymer.

[0015] Further, the diamine chain extender is 3,3-dichloro-4,4-diaminodiphenyl methane or 3,3-dichlorobenzene diamine.

[0016] Further, the crosslinking agent is trimethylolpropane or pentaerythritol.

[0017] Further, the step S3 is specifically: 300-500 parts by mass of deionized water and 1-5 parts by mass of a curing agent are added to the secondary prepolymer, and dispersion and emulsification are carried out in a high-speed disperser at a speed of 1000-2500 r / min to obtain a stable polyurethane glue solution.

[0018] Further, the curing agent is one or more of diamine-based diphenyl sulfone, diamine-based diphenyl methane and m-phenylenediamine.

[0019] Further, in the step S4, the aramid fiber carding and yarn splitting are specifically: using an opening carding machine to stretch and split yarn at 100 DEG C, humidity 50%, speed 150 m / min, the draw ratio is 2-5 times; the heating temperature of the microwave heating box is 200-250 DEG C, and the time is 2-10 min.

[0020] The beneficial technical effects of the present application are:

[0021] 1. The present application can effectively improve the durability and stability of aramid fiber in high alkaline and radiation environment by coating a layer of polyurethane coating on the surface of aramid fiber. The polyurethane coating not only plays a physical isolation role to prevent alkali from eroding the fiber matrix, but also can absorb part of the radiation energy, thereby delaying the material aging and degradation process.

[0022] 2. The present application selects p-phenylene diisocyanate as one of the raw materials for preparing polyurethane. Since two isocyanate groups are directly connected to the benzene ring, the formed hard segment has a high benzene ring content, which gives the polyurethane higher thermal stability and radiation resistance.

[0023] 3. Compared with the traditional diol chain extender, the diamine chain extender in the present application has a stronger polarity of the urethane group formed in the polyurethane, which is beneficial to enhance the interaction force between the molecular chains. More hydrogen bond network structures can be formed between the hard segments, so that the material has higher cohesive energy density and order in the interior, thereby showing more excellent structural stability and anti-degradation ability when subjected to external stimuli such as radiation or high temperature.

[0024] 4. The present application uses aromatic curing agents such as diamine-based diphenyl sulfone, diamine-based diphenyl methane and m-phenylenediamine, which have a large number of benzene ring structures in the molecular structure, which helps to improve the heat resistance and radiation resistance of the final polyurethane material, and further enhances the protection of the coating on the aramid fiber.

[0025] 5. The present application introduces trimethylolpropane or pentaerythritol as a crosslinking agent to construct a three-dimensional crosslinking network structure, which effectively improves the compactness and mechanical strength of the polyurethane coating, and enhances the structural integrity and durability of the material under complex working conditions.

[0026] 6. The aramid filter material prepared by the present application has excellent alkali resistance, radiation resistance, mechanical properties and thermal stability, and is suitable for use in extreme harsh environments such as nuclear power plants, chemical wastewater treatment, strong alkaline industrial waste gas filtration, etc., and has a broad engineering application prospect.
