The invention discloses photocatalytic self-cleaning lubricating
grease containing nano
titanium dioxide and a preparation method of the photocatalytic self-cleaning lubricating
grease, and belongs to the technical field of lubricating
grease. The lubricating grease is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 70 to 85 parts of
base oil, 8 to 15 parts of a
thickening agent, 1 to 5 parts of modified nano TiO2, 0.5 to 1.5 parts of an
antioxidant, 0.5 to 2 parts of an anti-wear
reagent at extreme pressure, 0.5 to 1.5 parts of
calcium sulfonate and 0.3 to 0.8 part of polyisobutene. Self-cleaning is realized through a photocatalytic
nanoreactor, surface lipophilic modified
anatase type nano TiO2 (loaded with an Ag cocatalyst) is stably dispersed in lubricating grease, strong oxidizing free radicals are generated through excitation under illumination, pollutants such as
oil sludge and deposited carbon are decomposed into CO2, water and neutralizable small molecular acid in situ, and the
oil sludge and the deposited carbon are recycled. Meanwhile, through compatibility of a
catalytic decomposition resistant additive and a friction pair surface enrichment strategy,
dynamic balance of lubricating performance is maintained, the synergistic effect of online
pollutant degradation and long-acting
lubrication is achieved, the service life of grease is prolonged, and
oil sludge accumulation is reduced.
