AI Technical Summary
Existing defoamers are difficult to achieve rapid defoaming and long-lasting foam suppression in the water treatment system of the space station under microgravity conditions. Furthermore, liquid defoamers have poor storage stability, and solid defoamers have insufficient dispersibility, which cannot meet the long-term stable operation requirements of the space station.
A combination of dimethyl silicone oil, water-soluble silicone oil, specific surfactants, dispersants, anti-caking agents, and carriers is used to generate a high-efficiency solid defoamer for space station water treatment through a specific reaction. This includes multi-step synthesis of surfactants and dispersants to form a multi-point anchoring structure and a stable hydration shell. The use of a carrier enables rapid dispersion and foam suppression.
It achieves rapid defoaming and long-lasting foam suppression in a microgravity environment, ensuring uniform dispersion of the defoamer in water, improving the storage stability and dispersion performance of the defoamer, and meeting the long-term stable operation requirements of the space station water treatment system.
