Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of corrosion inhibitors, and particularly relates to an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor concentrate for hydraulic supports and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key support device for fully-mechanized coal mining faces, the stability and reliability of the hydraulic system of the hydraulic support are directly related to the safety in production and mining efficiency of the mine. The hydraulic transmission medium generally uses emulsion or concentrate with water as the main component, which is widely used due to its incompressibility, cooling property and economy. However, the inherent characteristics of the water-based medium also bring significant corrosion and wear challenges to the hydraulic support system. In the complex water quality environment of high temperature, high humidity, rich in chloride ions and sulfate ions under the mine, the carbon steel pipeline and cylinder body are prone to electrochemical corrosion, which not only shortens the service life of the equipment, but also exists the safety hidden danger of support instability caused by component corrosion failure.
[0003] In order to pursue high-efficiency corrosion inhibition performance, the traditional corrosion inhibitor technology for hydraulic supports often relies on chromate, nitrite, heavy metal salt or phosphate ester. Although such substances can form passivation films or adsorption films on the metal surface, they have poor environmental friendliness, low biodegradability, environmental pollution risk, and some components are strictly limited by environmental regulations. With the deepening of the concept of green mine construction, the development of environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors has become an urgent need in the industry.
[0004] Some existing environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors attempt to use natural polymers or organic acid substances such as phytic acid, chitosan, etc., which have biodegradability and certain metal chelating ability. However, such substances often face problems such as insufficient corrosion inhibition efficiency, poor film densification, poor long-term stability, etc. in actual application. Especially for the working conditions of dynamic operation and shear force flushing of the hydraulic support system, the protective film formed by simple physical adsorption or simple complexation is easy to fall off, and it is difficult to provide persistent and effective protection. In addition, the synergistic mechanism between the components in the existing technical solutions is often not clear enough, resulting in unsatisfactory compounding effect, and it is difficult to build a multi-level protection structure with strong adsorption, high densification, hydrophobic barrier and self-repairing potential on the metal surface.
[0005] The hydraulic support working fluid also needs to have good stability, including hard water resistance, low foam, anti-layering, etc., to ensure that the transmission accuracy is not affected or the pump is not cavitated due to foam, sedimentation, etc. in the circulating system. Some existing environmentally friendly formulations are prone to delamination, precipitation, etc. under complex water quality or temperature changes, affecting their use effect and promotion. Therefore, how to break through the existing technical bottlenecks under the premise of ensuring environmental friendliness and develop a corrosion inhibitor concentrate for hydraulic supports that can adapt to harsh mine working conditions and has comprehensive excellent performance is a technical problem to be solved in the field.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0031] The environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor concentrate for hydraulic supports provided by this invention achieves synergistic effects through the ingenious formulation of its components and a specific preparation process. The working fluid formed after dilution of this concentrate can quickly spread and wet the surface of carbon steel such as Q355 steel, forming a dense, stable, and highly hydrophobic organic complex protective film. This protective film is firmly bonded to the metal substrate through multiple coordination bonds, effectively blocking the erosion of water molecules, oxygen, and corrosive ions, significantly reducing the corrosion rate of the metal, and exhibiting excellent corrosion inhibition performance. Even under harsh environments such as simulated salt spray, it can effectively inhibit the spread of rust, providing a reliable guarantee for the long-term stable operation of hydraulic supports.
[0032] This invention provides a robust three-dimensional network structure for the entire protective film system by constructing a unique phytic acid-chitosan complex grafted framework. The active groups in this framework can undergo strong multi-point coordination adsorption with the metal surface, enhancing the adhesion strength and coverage uniformity of the film. Simultaneously, the introduced amphoteric polydopamine dispersion further strengthens interfacial adhesion; its active groups can interpenetrate and crosslink within the complex framework, filling potential defects and resulting in a more continuous and complete protective film, significantly improving its physical barrier properties and erosion resistance.
[0033] The protective film formed by this invention possesses excellent hydrophobic properties. This is due to the directional arrangement and enrichment of hydrophobic segments in the system, which constructs a low surface energy barrier on the outer layer of the film. This hydrophobic layer can effectively repel water molecules, reduce the wettability of the medium on the metal surface, and thus weaken the conditions for electrochemical corrosion from the source. This combination of hydrophobicity and strong adsorption of the underlying layer forms a gradient protective structure, further consolidating the overall corrosion inhibition effect.
[0034] The concentrate prepared by this invention exhibits excellent system stability and application performance. Its working fluid displays balanced foaming and defoaming characteristics, avoiding the adverse effects of excessive foam on the hydraulic system. After undergoing thermal cycling, the system remains homogeneous and stable, rarely exhibiting stratification or sedimentation, ensuring the reliability and performance durability of the product during storage and use. The good compatibility and synergistic effect among the components make this concentrate environmentally friendly, while simultaneously meeting the long-term, high-stability operation requirements of hydraulic support systems for the transmission medium.
[0035] In summary, this invention not only achieves efficient and environmentally friendly corrosion inhibition and protection, but also significantly improves film quality, interfacial bonding strength, hydrophobic properties, and system stability. It has excellent overall performance and promising application prospects. Detailed Implementation

[0067] The difference between Comparative Example 6 and Example 2 is that in step S4, after adding 8296g of amphoteric polydopamine dispersion within 30min, instead of adding 3000g of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution within 40min, 3000g of deionized water was added within 40min, and the temperature was controlled to not exceed 30℃. Then, the reaction was continued with stirring at 400rpm for 2h and subsequent feeding was carried out. The other conditions were the same as in Example 2.
[0068] Comparative Example 7:
[0069] The difference between Comparative Example 7 and Example 2 is that in step S4, after adding 1500g of sodium poly-(α,β)-DL-aspartate and stirring for 30 min, instead of adding 300g of calcium lactate pentahydrate first, 500g of sodium oleate and 3000g of deionized water are stirred at 40°C for 10 min to form a homogeneous soap solution, which is then cooled to 25°C and added dropwise to the main vessel within 15 min while stirring for another 30 min. Then, 300g of calcium lactate pentahydrate is added and stirred for 20 min before lactic acid is added. The remaining conditions are the same as in Example 2.
[0070] Performance testing:
[0071] Sample preparation: Environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor concentrates for hydraulic supports were prepared according to Examples and Comparative Example 1, respectively. After obtaining the final product, all were filtered through a 100µm filter. The working solution for application performance testing was prepared at a mass fraction of 3.0%. Specifically, 150g of each concentrate was weighed and added to deionized water to a total mass of 5000g. The solution was stirred at 25℃ and 400rpm for 30min and then allowed to stand for 2h to remove bubbles. These were recorded as the working solution for Examples and the working solution for Comparative Example, respectively. All metal-related samples were made of Q355 steel from the same batch. The sample surfaces were wet-polished with 400-mesh, 800-mesh, and 1200-mesh sandpaper in sequence. After rinsing with deionized water, the samples were sonicated with anhydrous ethanol for 5min and then dried.
[0072] Physicochemical properties (acidity, alkalinity, kinematic viscosity, surface tension): Acidity (pH) was measured according to GB / T 9724-2007. The pH of each working solution was calibrated at 25℃ using standard buffer solutions at pH=6.86 and pH=9.18, and the average of three parallel measurements was taken. Kinematic viscosity was measured according to GB / T 265-1988. The kinematic viscosity ν40 of each working solution was measured using a 40℃ constant temperature bath and an Ubbelohde viscometer. Surface tension was measured according to GB / T 5549-2010. The surface tension γ of each working solution was measured at 25℃ using the film-pulling method. The measurements were repeated five times, and the arithmetic mean was taken.
[0073] Corrosion inhibition performance: According to GB / T 18175-2014, a rotating plate device was used. The sample was Q355 steel (50mm×25mm×2mm). The edges and back were sealed with epoxy resin, leaving only the front 50mm×25mm single-sided exposed area of 12.50cm². 2 Add 1000 mL of each working solution to a constant-temperature glass container and maintain the temperature at (45±1) ℃. After installing the sample, rotate it at (120±5) r / min for 72 h to simulate the cyclic scouring condition. After the test, remove the sample, rinse with deionized water, and immerse it in 10% hydrochloric acid (with 0.5% hexamethylenetetramine added as a corrosion inhibitor) for 30 s to remove corrosion products. Then rinse with deionized water, rinse with anhydrous ethanol, and dry at 60 ℃ for 30 min. After cooling to room temperature, weigh it. Calculate the corrosion rate V = 87.6 × Δm / (ρ × A × t), where Δm is the weight loss and ρ is taken as 7.85 g / cm³. 3 A is 12.50cm 2 The time interval is 72 hours, and the corrosion inhibition rate η = (V0−V) / V0×100% is calculated, where V0 is the corrosion rate under the condition of deionized water blank working solution (without concentrate).
[0074] Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy: Using the same three-electrode system and electrolyte as the polarization curve, the working electrode was immersed in the corresponding working solution for 2 hours and then EIS was performed at open circuit potential. The AC perturbation amplitude was 10mV, the frequency range was 100kHz-0.01Hz, and 10 points were taken every tenth harmonic. The impedance spectrum was fitted with an equivalent circuit to obtain the low-frequency modulus |Z| 0.01Hz.
[0075] Film-forming hydrophobicity: According to GB / T 30447-2013, Q355 steel test pieces (30mm×30mm×2mm) were polished and cleaned as described above, then immersed in the corresponding working solution for 5 minutes. After being taken out and hung vertically to drip dry for 5 minutes, they were placed in an oven at (50±1)℃ to dry for 2 hours to form a surface film layer. A contact angle measuring instrument was used to add a drop of deionized water (volume 3.0µL) at (25±1)℃ and (50±5)% relative humidity. The static contact angle was read after 60 seconds of contact with the droplet and the measurement was repeated 5 times and the arithmetic mean was taken.
[0076] Salt spray test: According to GB / T 10125-2021, Q355 steel test pieces prepared and dried to form a film were used as samples for the film hydrophobicity test. The edges of the samples were sealed with neutral silicone sealant to avoid edge effects. A neutral salt spray test was conducted in a salt spray chamber. The spray solution was a 5.0% sodium chloride solution by mass, the test temperature was (35±1)℃, and the spraying was continuous for 240h. After the test, the samples were taken out, gently rinsed with deionized water, and allowed to air dry for 2h. The percentage of rust area was calculated using image analysis software.
[0077] Foaming characteristics: According to GB / T 12579-2002, 200 mL of the working solution of the examples and comparative examples were placed in the measuring cylinder of the foaming apparatus. The following steps were performed in sequence: Section I (24℃) for 5 min of aeration and 10 min of standing; Section II (93.5℃) for 5 min of constant temperature foaming and 10 min of standing; and Section III (24℃) for 5 min of reheating and 10 min of foaming. The foaming volume (0 min) and the foam volume after defoaming (10 min) were recorded for each section. The 0 min / 10 min of Section I was used as the foaming and defoaming index at room temperature.
[0078] Stratification and sedimentation: According to MT / T 76-2011, each concentrate was prepared into a working solution of 500 mL at a mass fraction of 3.0%, placed in a graduated 500 mL graduated cylinder and sealed. The solution was placed in a constant temperature oven at (54±2)℃ for 24 h and in an environment at (0±2)℃ for 24 h respectively. After being removed and allowed to stand at (25±1)℃ for 2 h, the supernatant stratification height (mm) was read. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0080]
[0081] Data Analysis:
[0082] As can be seen from the data in Examples 1-3 of Table 1, the environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor concentrate for hydraulic supports prepared in this invention maintains suitable weak alkalinity and near-water-based fluidity after dilution into a working fluid, while also possessing low surface tension to facilitate rapid wetting and spreading on Q355 steel surfaces. Its corrosion rate is significantly reduced, and the low-frequency modulus of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy remains at a high level, indicating that the complex grafted framework formed by phytic acid and chitosan can provide multi-point coordination adsorption on the metal surface. Combined with the strong interfacial adhesion of the amphoteric polydopamine dispersion, a dense organic complex protective film is constructed. The outer layer of this protective film forms a continuous hydrophobic barrier under the synergistic effect of sodium oleate and propylene glycol, increasing the contact angle and inhibiting corrosion propagation under salt spray conditions. Simultaneously, the interfacial regulation of the organosilicon defoamer and alkyl polysaccharide glycosides maintains a balance between foaming and defoaming performance, and exhibits minimal stratification and sedimentation after thermal cycling, meeting the stability requirements of long-term cyclic use of hydraulic support systems.
[0083] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, when only high molecular weight chitosan is used and low molecular weight chitosan is lacking, the rheological properties and dispersion stability of the system are more easily affected by molecular chain entanglement, leading to a decrease in the migration of the complex graft in the working fluid and making it difficult to form a continuous and uniform coating layer on the Q355 steel surface. The result is a decrease in the low-frequency modulus of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, an increase in the corrosion rate, and more pronounced stratification and sedimentation after thermal cycling. It is worth noting that the higher system viscosity inhibits bubble coalescence to some extent, which may lead to localized improvement in foaming indicators, but this improvement cannot compensate for the corrosion inhibition gap caused by insufficient film density.
[0084] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, when the phytic acid solution participates in the complexation grafting without partial neutralization by sodium hydroxide, the high acidity of the phytic acid causes excessive protonation of the chitosan amino groups and induces rapid flocculation. The complexation grafting framework exhibits localized dense aggregation and structural inhomogeneity during the formation stage. This structural defect weakens the subsequent embedding and solidification efficiency of the amphoteric polydopamine dispersion, reducing the continuity and adhesion strength of the protective film. This manifests as an increased corrosion rate, expanded salt spray corrosion area, and more significant stratification and sedimentation under thermal cycling. This demonstrates the crucial role of partial neutralization and controllable complexation in corrosion inhibition.
[0085] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, when the sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate segment is missing from the amphoteric polydopamine dispersion, although the surface hydrophobicity can be locally improved due to the enrichment of hydrophobic segments and sodium oleate, the low-frequency modulus of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the corrosion inhibition rate are still significantly reduced, and the salt spray corrosion area increases, showing an increase in contact angle and a decrease in corrosion resistance. The main reason is that the hydrophilic anchoring and electrolyte compatibility provided by sodium 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate help the polydopamine dispersion spread evenly and fill microporous defects. Its absence easily leads to the formation of discontinuous hydrophobic patches, causing water and chloride ions to invade along the defect channels. This result indicates that the bi-segment grafting of sulfonate segments and hydrophobic segments has a significant synergistic effect in interface regulation.
[0086] As can be seen from the data in Example 2 and Comparative Example 4 in Table 1, when the 1-dodecylthiol segment is missing from the amphoteric polydopamine dispersion, the water contact angle after film formation decreases and the salt spray corrosion area expands. Simultaneously, the low-frequency modulus of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy decreases and the corrosion rate increases. The main reason for this is that the hydrophobic long chain provided by 1-dodecylthiol can construct a low surface energy outer layer on the metal surface, forming a hydrophobic barrier-wetting spreading gradient structure together with the soap solution formed by sodium oleate. Without this segment, the film layer is more prone to water absorption and swelling, generating ion migration channels, resulting in a significant decrease in the corrosion inhibition effect's resistance to the salt spray environment.
[0087] As can be seen from the data in Example 2 and Comparative Example 5 in Table 1, when sodium gluconate, sodium citrate, and sodium poly-(α,β)-DL-aspartate are added before the amphoteric polydopamine dispersion, the carboxylate ligands in the system preferentially form complexes with the phytic acid-chitosan complex grafting backbone and metal ions, thereby weakening the adhesion, solidification, and network penetration of polydopamine at the interface, resulting in insufficient interlayer bonding and density of the protective film. In this case, the foaming and defoaming properties may improve to some extent due to changes in electrolyte strength, but the corrosion rate and salt spray corrosion area still show unfavorable changes.
[0088] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 6, when the amphoteric polydopamine dispersion is introduced without alkaline curing with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, although the system exhibits less stratification and sedimentation after thermal cycling due to the reduced degree of crosslinking, its corrosion rate increases and the low-frequency modulus of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy decreases, indicating insufficient chemical fixation and interfacial adhesion of the film. This is because alkaline conditions facilitate the reaction and network rearrangement between the active groups of polydopamine and the chitosan amine groups, locking the complexed grafted framework onto the metal surface and sealing ion migration channels. Without this step, the film is more susceptible to shearing by the working fluid and corrosion by the salt spray medium, making it difficult to fully release the synergistic effect.
[0089] As can be seen from the data in Example 2 and Comparative Example 7 in Table 1, when sodium oleate soap solution is added before calcium lactate pentahydrate, calcium ions readily undergo rapid saponification with oleate ions, generating insoluble calcium soap particles. This leads to significant stratification and sedimentation in the system, while simultaneously reducing the directional alignment ability of effective sodium oleate on the metal surface, resulting in a discontinuous hydrophobic barrier. This structural defect further affects the synergistic film formation of the amphoteric polydopamine dispersion and the phytic acid-chitosan complex grafted framework, manifested as a decrease in the low-frequency modulus of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, an increase in the corrosion rate, and an expansion of the salt spray corrosion area. Therefore, the slow-release calcium source of calcium lactate pentahydrate should be introduced before the saponification components to achieve a corrosion inhibition effect greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2) through multi-component complex adsorption.
