TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of rubber production, and in particular to a water-phase synergistic coagulation process production line and production process of graphene oxide modified natural rubber masterbatch. BACKGROUND

[0004] Natural rubber is a natural high molecular compound with cis-1,4-polyisoprene as the main component, and is an elastic solid material made of natural latex collected from rubber trees through processing procedures such as coagulation and drying. It is an important industrial raw material and is widely used in the fields of tires, conveyor belts, rubber hoses, and sealing rings.

[0005] Graphene is a new material with sp 2 hybrid connection, in which carbon atoms are tightly packed into a single-layer two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure. It has excellent optical, electrical, and mechanical properties and has broad application prospects in the fields of materials, micro-nano processing, energy, biomedicine, and drug delivery. It is considered to be a revolutionary material for the future. One of the most representative ones is graphene oxide (GO), which is a two-dimensional (2D) material with various oxygen-containing functional groups obtained by oxidizing graphite through physical and chemical means.

[0006] Graphene and its derivatives have excellent mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity, making them widely used in the reinforcement and modification of rubber to make the prepared rubber products have better mechanical strength, toughness, and thermal conductivity. However, the latex coagulation method commonly used for preparing graphene modified natural rubber masterbatch has the problem of long production cycle and high energy consumption due to the dehydration and drying process, in addition to high cost, which has become one of the main obstacles to the application of graphene modified natural rubber.

There are the following problems: first, the instant modification of graphene oxide and the instant use thereof cannot be realized in the production line, resulting in the reduction of the activity of modified graphene oxide, and thus high-performance masterbatch cannot be obtained; in addition, the process is multiple, and thus the personnel configuration is multiple. Second, the production line basically adopts hot air drying at a drying temperature of 60 DEG C, which is a compromise scheme considering the drying efficiency and the quality of the rubber after drying, but there are problems such as low drying efficiency and unstable quality of the masterbatch after drying.
