Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of road dust suppression technology, and specifically to a bio-based dust suppressant that can be used for road reinforcement. Background Technology
[0002] Dust pollution has become one of the world's major environmental hazards, significantly impacting human health, production safety, and the environment. Therefore, controlling and reducing dust dispersion is of great importance.
[0003] Currently, commonly used dust suppression methods include covering, water spraying, and dust suppressants. However, neither covering nor water spraying is effective in solving the problem. Covering reduces operational efficiency, is difficult to recover, and is costly; water spraying produces little dust and has a short effective suppression time, less than half an hour in the high temperatures of summer, resulting in a serious waste of water resources. Compared to other methods, dust suppressants are characterized by low cost, practicality, long-lasting effectiveness, and significant dust removal effect. Since their inception, they have been widely adopted by countries around the world and are considered the most effective method for solving dust pollution.
[0004] With the development of chemical dust suppressants, problems such as low dust suppression efficiency and serious pollution have emerged. Therefore, researchers have begun to develop environmentally friendly dust suppressants with the goals of being green, biodegradable, low-cost, and highly efficient. Natural materials such as polysaccharides, proteins, and microorganisms have shown potential as dust suppressant components. For example, CN110437802A discloses a novel environmentally friendly and biodegradable algal bio-dust suppressant, comprising the following components (by mass percentage): polyvinyl alcohol: 3-6%, thickener: 1-5%, crosslinking agent: 3-5%, surfactant: 1-3.6%, metal oxide: 6-8%, algae: 3.1-5.7%, natural latex: 1-2.4%, organic polyol: 25-45%, water, and the balance. The dust suppressant prepared by this invention is non-toxic, harmless, and environmentally friendly; however, it involves the complex preparation of multiple chemical raw materials, and some raw materials are expensive, resulting in a relatively high cost. CN109021925A discloses a method for preparing an environmentally friendly dust suppressant. Using seaweed polysaccharide as a raw material, polyacrylamide polymers as a backbone material, polyvalent ethanol as a hygroscopic material, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate as a surfactant, the method involves mixing and stirring to obtain the environmentally friendly dust suppressant. The dust suppressant prepared by this invention is environmentally friendly, low-cost, and has high dust suppression efficiency. However, these dust suppressants only have dust suppression functions and lack road reinforcement functions. When heavy rain occurs, the muddy roads treated with these dust suppressants are usually very muddy and difficult to pass, which can seriously affect the normal use of roads. Therefore, developing a dust suppressant that can be used for road reinforcement while also possessing the advantages of high dust suppression efficiency, environmental friendliness, simple preparation, and low cost has significant practical application value.
[0005] Xylose mother liquor is the waste sugar solution remaining after the chemical production of xylose, or the waste mother liquor from other processes. To turn this waste into a valuable resource, xylose mother liquor is now widely used as a substitute for chemical raw materials in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Currently, some research focuses on the utilization value of the various monosaccharides in xylose mother liquor, aiming to synthesize a novel moisturizer for cosmetics. However, no one has yet utilized xylose mother liquor in the field of dust suppressants. Xylose mother liquor has a certain viscosity, therefore it can be used as a binder-like component in dust suppressants, effectively binding dust particles. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Technical issues:
[0007] Addressing the issues of limited performance, complex preparation, and high cost of existing dust suppressants, the main technical solution of this invention is to use xylose mother liquor, a byproduct of biomass raw material production (e.g., xylose preparation process), as the main raw material. By adding suitable crosslinking agents and other additives, an environmentally friendly bio-based dust suppressant is prepared. The bio-based dust suppressant provided by this invention not only has good dust suppression efficiency but also good compressive strength and water resistance, making it suitable for road reinforcement. Using the byproduct xylose mother liquor to replace chemical raw materials is not only environmentally friendly but also saves resources and reduces costs.
[0008] Technical solution:
[0009] The first aspect of the present invention provides a bio-based dust suppressant that can be used for road reinforcement, which, based on 100% solid content, contains the following components in the following weight ratio: 100 parts xylose mother liquor and 3-50 parts polyamine crosslinking agent.
[0010] Preferably, the bio-based dust suppressant contains the following components in the indicated weight ratios: 100 parts xylose mother liquor and 5-30 parts polyamine crosslinking agent.
[0011] More preferably, the bio-based dust suppressant contains the following components in the indicated weight ratios: 100 parts xylose mother liquor and 5-25 parts polyamine crosslinking agent.
[0012] In some embodiments, the xylose mother liquor contains 20% to 70% by weight of solids, with the remainder being water.
[0013] Preferably, the xylose mother liquor contains 40% to 70% solids by mass, with the remainder being water.
[0014] More preferably, the xylose mother liquor contains 50% to 70% solids by mass, with the remainder being water.
[0015] In some embodiments, the solids in the xylose mother liquor contain reducing sugars at a mass percentage of ≥50%.
[0016] Preferably, the solids in the xylose mother liquor contain reducing sugars with a mass percentage of ≥60%.
[0017] In some embodiments, the reducing sugar is mainly composed of xylose, arabinose, glucose and galactose.
[0018] Preferably, the reducing sugar is mainly composed of D-xylose, L-arabinose, D-glucose, and D-galactose.
[0019] In some embodiments, the solid contains ≥20% xylose by mass.
[0020] Preferably, the xylose content in the solid is ≥40% by mass.
[0021] In some embodiments, the polyamine crosslinking agent is selected from primary diamine or polyamine.
[0022] Preferably, the primary diamine is selected from one or more of lysine, ethylenediamine, 1,6-hexanediamine, diaminodiphenylmethane, xylenediamine, JEFFAMINE@D-230, JEFFAMINE@D-400, JEFFAMINE@D-2000, or JEFFAMINE@EDR-148; the secondary primary diamine is selected from one or more of diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, or JEFFAMINE@403.
[0023] More preferably, the primary diamine is one or more of JEFFAMINE@D-230 or JEFFAMINE@D-400; the secondary diamine is selected from one or more of JEFFAMINE@403, tetraethylenepentamine or lysine.
[0024] Based on a 100% solids content, in some embodiments, the recommended addition amount of the bio-based dust suppressant of the present invention is 1-20% of the soil, preferably 2-15%, and more preferably 5-12%. If the addition amount is too small, it will not significantly contribute to the compressive strength performance of the soil; if the addition amount is too large, it may lead to excessively high raw material costs, which is not economically worthwhile.
[0025] In some embodiments, the dust suppressant has a dust suppression efficiency of ≥82% under PM2.5 conditions; and a dust suppression efficiency of ≥81% under PM10.0 conditions.
[0026] A second aspect of the present invention provides the use of any of the above-mentioned bio-based dust suppressants for road reinforcement as soil stabilizers.
[0027] In some embodiments, the dust suppressant has a non-marking compressive strength greater than or equal to 1.2 MPa.
[0028] Technical effects:

[0030] 2. The dust suppressant prepared by this invention not only has dust suppression function, but also has good compressive strength and water resistance. It can also be used as a soil stabilizer. Applying the dust suppressant of this invention to roads can produce a road surface system with good comprehensive performance. 3. The dust suppressant prepared by this invention is formulated with fewer chemical raw materials, so it is simple to operate and easy to prepare. Attached Figure Description
