Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of painting pigment technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing peach gum liquid painting pigment and its automated production device. Background Technology
[0002] Peach gum is a translucent, gum-like substance secreted from the trunks of peach or wild peach trees (Rosaceae family) after mechanical injury or disease. The solid substance formed by air drying or other dehydration methods on the trunk is called raw peach gum. Raw peach gum is a smooth, translucent, pink or pale yellow solid block that generally only swells upon contact with water and does not dissolve completely. Its aqueous solution is viscous, and it is a polysaccharide. After removing impurities, hydrolyzing or modifying, and drying, raw peach gum is processed to obtain commercially available solid peach gum.
[0003] Gum gum solution, formed by dissolving solid gum arabic, can be used in painting pigments to improve their color retention and adhesion. Current gum arabic production generally employs a segmented processing method, resulting in discontinuous processing. This reduces production efficiency, makes it difficult to guarantee the quality of the finished product, hinders large-scale, assembly-line production, and makes it difficult to control processing standards. For example, significant color deviations in the solution severely affect the color rendering properties of the painting pigments, or a solid content of less than 20% significantly reduces the adhesion of the painting pigments. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a production method and automated production device for preparing gum arabic paint with low chroma and solid content that meets the process standards. The method features close connection between processing steps, consistent production standards for gum arabic, and good color development and bonding properties of the gum arabic.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for preparing a painting pigment, gum arabic, characterized by comprising the following steps: Step 1: Crush the dried peach gum into particles with a diameter of no more than 5cm; Step 2: Take 14-32 parts of the above-mentioned particles and mix them with 70-80 parts of water. Add 3-6 parts of triethanolamine colloidal particle solubilizing agent, heat to 80-95℃ and stir for 8-9 hours until completely dissolved to obtain the first miscible. Step 3: Lower the temperature of the first miscible to 65-75℃, add 1-2 parts of triethanolamine colloidal solubilizing agent and 0.5-0.8 parts of potassium hydroxide to adjust the pH value to the range of 10-10.5, stir until the pH value drops to 5-6, and then let it stand for no less than 36 hours to obtain the second miscible. Step 4: Filter the second mixture with a screen mesh size of not less than 40 mesh to separate the initial peach gum solution. After precipitating it for 6-18 hours, further reduce the temperature to below 40 degrees Celsius. Step 5: Add 3-5 parts of propylene glycol humectant and 0.15-0.3 parts of Kathon preservative to the initial peach gum solution after step 4 to mix the gum solution. Then add 3-4 parts of bleaching agent and stir to obtain the finished peach gum solution.
[0006] —In step five, the mixture is prepared so that the solid content of the adhesive is between 28% and 38%, and the viscosity is between 33% and 42 degrees. The bleaching agent is a hydrogen peroxide solution with a mass percentage concentration of 20%-30%.
[0007] The method for preparing gum arabic for painting pigments provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The preparation method includes steps such as pulverizing gum arabic particles, heating and stirring to dissolve, cooling and adjusting pH to allow it to stand, filtering and settling, and blending and bleaching. In particular, triethanolamine gum arabic particle dissolving aid is added in two steps at two temperature ranges of 80-95℃ and 65-75℃, and the mixture is stirred at the same temperature until the gum arabic particles are completely dissolved. The gum arabic prepared by adjusting the pH value with potassium hydroxide, bleaching with hydrogen peroxide, allowing it to stand and settle, and blending and bleaching results in gum arabic with low color and solid content that meets the process standards, making it an excellent quality finished product for painting pigments.
[0008] The present invention also provides an automated production apparatus for implementing the above-mentioned method for preparing gum arabic pigment, comprising a pulverizer, a first reaction vessel, a second reaction vessel, a filter, a separation sedimentation tank, and a blending and bleaching reaction vessel connected in sequence by pipelines. The stirring paddle in the first reaction vessel used for implementing step two above rotates at 50-70 rpm, the stirring paddle in the second reaction vessel used for implementing step three above rotates at 100-150 rpm, and the stirring paddle in the blending and bleaching reaction vessel used for implementing step five above rotates at 30-40 rpm.
[0009] —It also includes a PLC controller for linkage control. The pipeline is equipped with switching valves and power pumps between adjacent devices. The switching valves and power pumps are electrically connected to the PLC controller. Electric heaters are installed in both the first and second reaction vessels. The electric heaters include temperature sensors and are electrically connected to the PLC controller.
[0010] The painting pigment gum syrup preparation and production apparatus provided by this invention employs a pulverizer, a first reaction vessel, a second reaction vessel, a filter, a separation and sedimentation tank, and a blending and bleaching reaction vessel connected in sequence. This apparatus realizes the process steps of pulverizing gum granules, heating and stirring to dissolve, cooling and pH adjustment for settling, filtration and sedimentation, and blending and bleaching. By first raising the pH value with potassium hydroxide and then using hydrogen peroxide for bleaching, the high molecular weight gum polysaccharide molecules are protected, maintaining the solid content of the gum syrup. Then, the oxidizing property of the hydrogen peroxide solution is used to oxidize and fade the pigment. After adding hydrogen peroxide solution for bleaching, the pH value gradually decreases, approaching neutral, to obtain a finished gum syrup with low color intensity. This method features tightly integrated processing steps and a continuous production process, improving the preparation efficiency of gum syrup. Furthermore, through PLC controller linkage control, processing parameters are ensured to be adjusted in real time, achieving consistent production standards, low color intensity, high solid content, and excellent finished pigment quality. It is particularly suitable for large-scale, assembly-line production requirements of gum syrup processing. Attached Figure Description
