Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wet spinning, in particular to a wet spinning method and a carbon fiber. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, there are two kinds of PAN-based carbon fiber precursor spinning processes, namely wet spinning and dry-jet wet spinning. In the dry-jet wet spinning process, the quality stability of the spinneret and the spinning solution is required to be very high. A slight hole blockage or gelation or air bubble in the spinning solution will cause the spinning solution to flow over the surface of the spinneret, resulting in termination of production. Compared with the dry-jet wet spinning process, the wet spinning process has relatively low requirements for the spinning solution, and occasional broken filaments have little effect on the production of the precursor.

[0003] In the wet spinning process, the spinning solution is directly introduced into the coagulation bath after being extruded through the spinneret hole, and the surface layer is rapidly coagulated, while the core layer is coagulated slowly. Therefore, the wet spinning coagulation bath is difficult to withstand a large amount of draft, and in order to prevent coagulation breakage, a wet spinning process usually uses a spinneret with a smaller hole diameter to increase the yarn speed. Whether the hole diameter of the spinneret is reduced or the flow of the spinning solution is increased (the yarn speed is increased), the extrusion swelling effect will be intensified, resulting in unstable flow of the spinning solution and increased surface defects, which is not conducive to the improvement of the orientation of the nascent fiber.

[0004] Based on the above reasons, the yarn speed of the wet spinning process is usually much lower than that of the dry-jet wet spinning process. Currently, the dry-jet wet spinning speed of PAN precursor can reach more than 500 m / min, while the wet spinning speed of PAN precursor is difficult to exceed 150 m / min, and is usually below 100 m / min. In order to solve the problem of low wet spinning speed of PAN precursor, patent CN201410259184.3 proposes a combined coagulation process, which is essentially to solve the problem of spinnability of the wet spinning process. However, this process also causes the weakening or even disappearance of the fiber grooves. Patent JP2010-229577 proposes a method of mixing two PAN solutions with different molecular weights to obtain a special molecular weight distribution, which can improve the spinnability of the spinning solution. However, this method has the disadvantage of complex spinning solution preparation process. Patent JP2001-329426A proposes a method of increasing the concentration of the coagulation bath to the vicinity of the critical concentration to improve the spinnability. However, in actual production, the concentration of the coagulation bath near the yarn outlet of the spinneret is quite different from that of other positions of the coagulation bath. If the coagulation bath is controlled at the critical concentration, it is easy to cause incomplete coagulation or large pore defects. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a wet spinning method, which can realize a yarn speed of not less than 180 m / min, significantly improve the spinning efficiency of the conventional wet spinning process, and maintain good yarn stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will combine the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the described embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] In a first aspect, the present application provides a wet spinning method, comprising the following steps:

[0028] 1) preparing a polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, wherein the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution comprises a copolymer obtained by polymerization of a monomer containing a carboxyl group and acrylonitrile, the number average molecular weight of the copolymer is 20000-500000, and the molecular weight distribution Mw / Mn is 1.0-1.9; the solid content of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is 20%-33%, the coagulation value is 20-80 g, and the intrinsic viscosity is 1.0-1.6 dL / g;

[0029] 2) the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is sprayed from a spinneret at a speed of 10-40 m / min, and the nascent fiber is obtained by coagulation in a first coagulation bath;

[0030] 3) the nascent fiber is drawn in an N-stage coagulation bath, washed, oiled, densified, steam-drawn, and shaped, and then wound to obtain a raw yarn, wherein the winding speed is not less than 180 m / min;

[0031] In step 3), N is greater than or equal to 1; the swelling degree of the nascent fiber is 180-250%, and the draw ratio of the nascent fiber in the first coagulation bath is 0.4-4.

[0032] The wet spinning method of the present application can greatly improve the spinning efficiency by controlling the parameters of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, reasonable coagulation process and drawing process, etc. The main reasons include: 1. The copolymer with specific molecular weight and narrow distribution has the advantages of longer relaxation time and lower gel temperature, which can reduce the coagulation speed of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution and enhance the spinnability of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution; 2. The intrinsic viscosity of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution in the range of 1.0-1.6 dL / g can further enhance the spinnability of the spinning solution, if it is higher than 1.6 dL / g, the spinnability of the spinning solution under high shear will be poor, and if it is lower than 1.0 dL / g, the fiber adhesion probability will be increased; 3. The coagulation value of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution in the above range can obtain the primary fiber with reasonable swelling degree; 4. The solid content of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution in the range of the present application can further improve the spinnability of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution, if the solid content is lower than 20%, the fiber filament obtained by coagulation in the coagulation bath will be too poor in density, and the orientation degree will be difficult to improve, and the heat resistance will be insufficient during the spinning process; if the solid content is higher than 30%, the spinnability of the spinning solution will be poor, and the spinning solution will be easy to gel during storage; 5. The speed of the spinning solution ejected from the spinneret hole is 10-40 m / min, which can balance the relationship between the spinning efficiency and the original wire quality, if the spinning line speed is lower than 10 m / min, not only the spinning efficiency will be reduced, but also the linear density will be uneven, and even the wire will be broken; in addition, since the shear received by the spinning solution in the spinneret hole is reduced, the inhibition of the entanglement of macromolecular chains by shear will be inhibited, when the spinning line speed exceeds 40 m / min, the drawability of the fiber will be poor, and during the high multiple orientation process, the hairiness will be easily generated, and even the drawability during the carbonization process will be affected; 6. The reasonable drawing ratio of the primary fiber in the coagulation bath can reduce the amount of hairiness and ensure the quality of the wire, if it is not in the above range, the wire will be broken or the fineness will be too large; 7. If the swelling degree of the primary fiber is lower than 180%, the fiber will be easy to lose transparency and form a serious skin-core structure, and if the swelling degree is higher than 250%, the coagulation rate will be too slow, the coagulation will be insufficient, the fiber will be easy to adhere, and the spinning speed will be affected.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the rotational viscosity of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is 20-150 Pa.s;

[0034] And / or, the intrinsic viscosity of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is 1.1-1.5 dL / g;

[0035] And / or, the solid content of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is 22%-30%.

[0036] Wherein, if the rotational viscosity of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is higher than 150 Pa.s, the spinnability of the spinning solution will be affected, and if the rotational viscosity is lower than 20 Pa.s, it will have adverse effects on the fiber forming and strength.

[0037] For example, the swelling degree of the nascent fiber is 190% to 240%, the draw ratio of the nascent fiber in the coagulation bath is 0.8 to 3, the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is ejected from the spinneret at a speed of 15 to 30 m / min, and the coagulation value of the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is 25 to 75 g.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the carboxyl-containing monomer is one or more of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, monomethyl itaconic acid, monoethyl itaconic acid, monopropyl itaconic acid, monoisopropyl itaconic acid, monobutyl itaconic acid, monoisobutyl itaconic acid, monotert-butyl itaconic acid, maleic acid, methylmaleic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, and methylfumaric acid.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the copolymer is formed by polymerizing a carboxyl-containing monomer and acrylonitrile under the action of an initiator.

[0040] For example, the carboxyl-containing comonomer accounts for 0.1-10% of the mass of acrylonitrile during polymerization, preferably 0.2-5%; the polymerization is carried out in solution.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the solvent used in the polymerization is dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0042] For example, the copolymer is obtained by free radical polymerization, controlled radical polymerization, and conventional free radical polymerization. Conventional free radical polymerization can be divided into continuous, semi-continuous, and batch polymerization. It is difficult to obtain polymers with a molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) below 2.0 by batch polymerization with full backmixing and semi-continuous methods (multiple reactors in series).

[0043] This invention discovers that in continuous polymerization in a tubular reactor, due to the plug flow of material inside the tube and the low degree of backmixing, narrow-distribution PAN polymers can be obtained even when using conventional free radical polymerization.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution is prepared by a method comprising the following steps:

[0045] A monomer containing a carboxyl group, acrylonitrile, an initiator, and a solvent are continuously pumped into a tubular reactor with an inner diameter of 1–10 mm. The polymerization reaction is carried out under conditions of 0.1–1 MPa pressure and 60–120 °C temperature. After cooling and monomer removal, the reaction system is degassed. The degassed reaction system is then mixed with ammonia gas to obtain the polyacrylonitrile spinning solution.

[0046] In an embodiment, the diameter of the orifices of the spinneret is 0.04-0.2 mm; further 0.05-0.15 mm.

[0047] wherein a smaller orifice diameter means a higher extrusion speed, and under the condition that the extrusion speed of the primary fiber in the primary coagulation bath is constant, the use of a spinneret with a smaller orifice diameter will reduce the draw ratio of the primary fiber, which is beneficial to reduce the damage of fiber drawing, but as mentioned above, too low draw ratio of the primary fiber will easily lead to an increase in the amount of hair; from the perspective of cleaning the spinneret, the spinneret with a small diameter is difficult to clean, and it is easy to produce hair due to incomplete cleaning of the spinneret.

[0048] In an embodiment, N is greater than 1, the draw ratio of the fiber in the N-1th coagulation bath is R n-1 , and the draw ratio of the fiber in the Nth coagulation bath is R n , wherein R n-1 / R n is 1.05-12.

[0049] In an embodiment, the medium of the first coagulation bath and the Nth coagulation bath is dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution.

[0050] In an embodiment, the concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution in the first coagulation bath is 40-80%; and / or, N is greater than 1, the concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution in the N-1th coagulation bath is C N-1 , and the concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution in the Nth coagulation bath is C N , wherein C N-1 / C N is 1-4. In the above embodiment, by limiting the stepwise change of the concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution in the N coagulation baths, the fiber can gradually improve the crystallinity and orientation degree while reducing defects such as broken yarn and fusion.

[0051] In an embodiment, the coagulation temperature of the first coagulation bath is 20-70℃, and / or the coagulation temperature of the N-1th coagulation bath is T n-1 , and the coagulation temperature of the Nth coagulation bath is T n , wherein T n / T n-1 is 1-3. In the above embodiment, by limiting the stepwise change of the coagulation temperature of the N coagulation baths, the crystallinity and orientation degree of the fiber can be further improved, the grain size can be controlled, and defects such as broken yarn and fusion can be reduced.

[0052] Illustratively, N satisfies: 1≤N≤3.

[0053] In an embodiment, the primary fiber stays in the coagulation bath for 3-24 s.

[0054] In one embodiment, the drawing ratio of the fiber in the steam drawing is 2-5. The drawing of the fiber can make the fiber reach higher crystallinity and orientation by the plasticizing effect of the high-pressure steam water molecules.

[0055] In a second aspect, the present application provides a carbon fiber prepared from the precursor fiber obtained by the wet spinning method of the first aspect.

[0056] Further, the precursor fiber is subjected to oxidation treatment at 200-280℃, primary carbonization treatment at 300-800℃, and secondary carbonization treatment at 1000-1500℃ in sequence to obtain the carbon fiber.

[0057] The present application is described in detail below in combination with specific examples:

[0064] The rotational viscosity of the spinning solution is tested by using a Kinexus Jl009 rheometer, the shear rate is 10S -1 , and the testing temperature is 60℃.

[0066] 10-20cm tow is put into a centrifuge for centrifugation at 3000rpm for 10min to remove the coagulation bath or water adsorbed on the surface of the tow, and the mass is weighed as A. The centrifuged fiber is put into a Soxhlet extractor and refluxed with deionized water for 4h. The tow is taken out and dried in an oven at 120℃ for 2h to obtain the dry tow mass B, and the swelling degree is obtained by (A-B) / B·100%.

[0067] <Setting value>

[0068] The PAN solution was diluted with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to form a 1% (mass) solution. 50 g of the solution was gradually added dropwise into 70% dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution at 25°C under constant stirring until the solution became turbid. The mass of the dimethyl sulfoxide aqueous solution added dropwise was recorded as the coagulation value.
