Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of snow-melting agents, and in particular to an environmentally friendly snow-melting and ice-de-de-icing composition and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, de-icing agents are mainly divided into two categories: chloride-based and non-chloride-based. Chloride-based de-icing agents contain chloride ions, which have strong penetrating and corrosive properties and can severely damage materials such as metals and concrete. Non-chloride-based de-icing agents mainly consist of potassium acetate, sodium acetate, calcium magnesium acetate, etc., and are environmentally friendly and non-corrosive, but they are expensive and have relatively poor snow-melting and ice-removing capabilities.
[0003] Among related technologies, a biomass-based environmentally friendly non-chlorine de-icing and snow-melting agent is disclosed, composed of the following raw materials in molar proportions: 10-30 parts tap water, 15-35 parts glucose degradation products, 6-20 parts starch degradation products, 8-18 parts sucrose, 7-18 parts glyceryl monocitrate, and 2-5 parts corrosion inhibitor. The main components of this de-icing agent are sugar derivatives and organic acid salts, which can lower the freezing point. It does not contain chloride ions, has weak corrosive effects, and since the raw materials are primarily biomass, it has minimal impact on seed germination rates, making it an environmentally friendly product.
[0004] However, organic acid salts melt snow and ice much slower than chloride salts, especially in the cold winters of northern regions where temperatures can drop below -30°C, where the melting rate is even slower and snow and ice may not be cleared in time. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Comparative Example Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides an environmentally friendly snow-melting and ice-de-de-icing composition, comprising the following raw materials: 37.5 kg of calcium magnesium acetate, 15 kg of sodium formate, 20 kg of potassium acetate, 11.5 kg of urea, 2 kg of surfactant, 3.5 kg of corrosion inhibitor, 6.5 kg of sodium alginate, 4.5 kg of chitosan, 3 kg of calcium chloride, 2 kg of carboxymethyl cellulose, and 1.5 kg of nano-silica. The surfactant comprises rhamnolipid and tea polyphenols in a 1:1 weight ratio. The corrosion inhibitor comprises triisopropanolamine, sodium gluconate, and phytic acid in a 3:4:1 weight ratio.
[0052] According to the formula, calcium magnesium acetate, sodium formate, potassium acetate, urea, surfactant, corrosion inhibitor, sodium alginate, chitosan, calcium chloride, carboxymethyl cellulose and nano silica are mixed and stirred evenly to obtain an environmentally friendly snow melting and ice-removing composition.
[0053] Comparative Example 2 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that, in the preparation of the organic acid salt sustained-release microspheres, an equal amount of calcium magnesium acetate was used to replace urea.
[0054] Comparative Example 3 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that, in the preparation of the organic acid salt sustained-release microspheres, an equal amount of sodium alginate was used to replace chitosan.
[0055] Comparative Example 4 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that, in the preparation of the organic acid salt sustained-release microspheres, an equal amount of sodium alginate was used to replace the nano-silica.
[0056] Performance testing The following performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly snow-melting and ice-de-de-icing compositions prepared in Examples 1-16 and Comparative Examples 1-4: Snow melting and de-icing speed test: A 30mm thick ice layer was placed in a test chamber at a temperature of -30℃. An environmentally friendly snow melting and de-icing composition was sprayed onto the ice surface at a dosage of 30g / m². 2 The ice melting process was observed, and the time required for the ice to completely melt was recorded. Based on the formula: snow melting rate (mm / min) = ice thickness / time for complete ice melting, the snow melting rate of the environmentally friendly snow melting compositions prepared in each example and comparative example was calculated. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0057] Table 1 As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4, and Table 1, compared with Example 1, the snow melting and ice-removing speed of Comparative Examples 1-4 in the frigid environment of -30℃ is significantly reduced. This indicates that the raw material ratio and preparation method of Example 1 can help improve the snow melting and ice-removing speed of the environmentally friendly snow melting and ice-removing composition in frigid environments.
[0058] This is likely because the specific ratio of calcium magnesium acetate, potassium acetate, and sodium formate creates a synergistic effect that lowers the freezing point. The dissolution of calcium magnesium acetate releases heat, as does the dissolution of sodium formate; this dual exothermic effect provides additional heat energy in low-temperature environments, accelerating snow and ice melting. Sodium alginate-chitosan composite wall material exhibits excellent pH responsiveness and ion exchange capacity, slowly releasing the core material in icy environments, extending its continuous effect to 4-6 hours. The 3:4:1 ratio of triisopropanolamine, sodium gluconate, and phytic acid forms a dense protective film on metal surfaces, reducing corrosion rates on carbon steel. Furthermore, the formula is chloride-free, biodegradable, and does not pollute soil, vegetation, or water, meeting environmental protection requirements.
[0059] As can be seen from Examples 1-16 and Table 1, the snow melting and de-icing rates of Examples 1-16 in a frigid environment of -30℃ are all greater than 1.3 mm / min. This indicates that using the raw material ratios and preparation methods within the range of Examples 1-16 can help improve the snow melting and de-icing rate of the environmentally friendly snow melting and de-icing composition in frigid environments.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
