Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of silica technology, specifically relating to a method for producing silica slurry for wet rubber compounding. Background Technology

[0002] Wet-process rubber compounding is a process in which fillers (such as silica, carbon black, etc.) are directly dispersed into rubber latex in the form of a slurry, and then the compound is prepared through processes such as blending, flocculation, and drying.

[0003] Compared to traditional dry mixing, wet mixing significantly improves filler dispersibility, reduces dust pollution, and enhances rubber properties such as wet slip resistance and rolling resistance. The basic process involves selecting suitable fillers such as silica (precipitation or fumed silica) and carbon black, pre-dispersing them with water to form a high-solids slurry (target solids content 20-30%), then adding a dispersant and using high-speed shearing or grinding equipment to fully disperse the filler, reduce viscosity, and adjust the pH to 8-10 to prevent flocculation or sedimentation. A suitable latex is then diluted to the appropriate concentration, and the slurry-state silica and latex are mixed while maintaining stirring. Other additives (such as coupling agent Si-69, antioxidants, accelerators, etc.) are added, and after mixing to the appropriate state, acid or salt is added to promote latex stability degradation, causing the rubber and filler to precipitate together. The moisture and residual electrolytes are then removed by dehydration and washing. After further drying using a screw extrusion dryer, fluidized bed or vacuum drying equipment, the product is granulated and finally mixed and post-treated to ensure the stability and processability (Mooney viscosity, dispersibility, etc.) of the rubber compound.

[0004] Compared to dry mixing, this method results in more uniform filler dispersion and saves on the high energy consumption of dry mixing. However, since the filler still uses dried solid silica, which is then remixed with water to form a slurry, not only is there a significant waste of energy, but the dispersibility and stability of the silica are also greatly reduced. When mixed with rubber, the silica exhibits poor interfacial compatibility and severe agglomeration, which in turn affects the homogeneity of the rubber compound, reduces its strength and stability, shortens its service life, and limits its application range.

[0005] This invention provides a production technology for silica slurry for wet rubber compounding. By treating the washed silica slurry for dispersion and stability, it can not only meet the requirements of wet rubber compounding for fillers, but also maintain stability during transportation and storage, without flocculation or sedimentation. The resulting rubber compound has excellent strength and stability. Summary of the Invention
