Description

Method for preparing fireproof flame-retardant, ultra-light and high-strength paper pulp foam by adopting wood fiber raw material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of materials, relates to the field of green fiber materials and environment-friendly materials, and particularly relates to a paper pulp foam with ultra-light weight, high elasticity, fire resistance and water resistance and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Foam is a lightweight, highly porous material that can meet certain performance criteria. In recent years, porous foam materials have gradually become a hot spot for research on new materials due to their characteristics of ultra-light weight, permeability, high porosity, high contactable surface area, and the like. At present, polymer foams are mainly prepared from non-degradable petroleum-based materials, and pose threats to resources and environment, so that the development and utilization of renewable resources to replace traditional fossil resources is a necessary trend. Cellulose is a natural high molecular compound abundant in the earth, and is mainly present in the cell walls of higher plants. The cellulose has the advantages of wide source, no toxicity, good biocompatibility, biodegradability and the like, and the surface of the cellulose contains a large amount of hydroxyl groups, so the cellulose is easy to modify and can be used for preparing multifunctional materials. Cellulose can replace expensive and non-biodegradable synthetic materials (such as polyurethane), and is called a new generation material with great potential.
At present, there are two main types of methods for preparing light and high-porosity porous materials by using cellulose: (1) dissolving natural fiber materials to form homogeneous liquid and gel, and capturing gas in the homogeneous liquid through surface tension to form approximately spherical bubbles; then carrying out curing molding and drying under a specific environment to obtain the solid foam. However, to obtain a homogeneous cellulose solution, relatively expensive cellulose solvents are generally required; however, cellulose solvents are generally difficult to recover, and even if they can be recovered, they are extremely expensive. (2) Dispersing nano cellulose in liquid, forming gel by means of cross-linking, solvent displacement and the like, and finally obtaining the porous product by freeze drying/casting or supercritical carbon dioxide drying. These porous materials are broadly referred to as cellulosic foams, and those having nanoscale voids therein may also be referred to as aerogels. Obtaining uniform nano-cellulose dispersion, the first step is to prepare nano-cellulose, usually by TEMPO oxidation, high pressure homogenization or acid hydrolysis or by dissolving natural wood fiber raw material at low temperature and then regenerating; the chemical reagents used in the process are expensive, the production cost is high, and the environment is damaged to a certain extent.
In order to solve the above problems, researchers have been working on developing more environmentally friendly and low cost processes for preparing cellulose foams. The invention patent CN103131038A discloses a preparation method of a lignocellulose foam material. The preparation method mainly comprises the following steps: (1) smashing lignocellulose to obtain 20-200-mesh wood flour; (2) adding wood powder into water, grinding and dispersing for 30 min-48 h to obtain a lignocellulose water dispersion; (3) and (3) carrying out freeze drying treatment on the lignocellulose aqueous dispersion to obtain the lignocellulose foam material. The preparation method is simple, the raw materials are low in price, and the preparation cost is reduced; and is pure green and environment-friendly. The invention patent application CN107915860A discloses a preparation method of a nano-cellulose microporous foam material. The invention patent application firstly utilizes concentrated sulfuric acid to hydrolyze microcrystalline cellulose, prepares nano cellulose by ultrasonic centrifugation, then obtains PLA/NCC composite foam material with uniform cells by a supercritical drying method after compounding and foaming with polylactic acid (PLA). The preparation method is simple and easy to operate, and raw materials are saved. Freeze drying and supercritical drying are conventional methods for preparing porous materials. Wherein the frozen product is dehydrated through sublimation, and the network state and density of the aerogel can be adjusted by changing the freeze-drying condition and the medium. The principle of supercritical drying is that in a supercritical state, a gas-liquid interface does not exist, namely, capillary action does not exist, so that the gel cannot shrink and the structure cannot be damaged, and finally, the material filled with gas and having a nano-pore structure is obtained. However, both methods have the problems of long experimental period, high equipment production cost and complex process, and are difficult to realize large-scale production.
In summary, the foam preparation process still has many problems restricting the scale production and application thereof, such as: in the drying process, the foam generates a large cavity, so that the performance of the foam is influenced, the treatment process is long in period and not green, chemicals are expensive and difficult to recover, the preparation cost is high, and the like. In addition, the pulp foam prepared by the traditional method has poor strength, fire resistance and heat insulation performance, and is not easy to commercialize. To perform the modification, a complicated, costly or environmentally unfriendly subsequent treatment is required. Therefore, there is a need to develop an efficient, sustainable, low-cost and environmentally friendly process for preparing high performance pulp foams, which process according to the present invention just meets these urgent needs.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems in the foam preparation in the prior art, the invention provides a preparation method of fireproof flame-retardant, ultra-light and high-strength paper pulp foam. The method of the invention not only has simple process and low cost, but also does not relate to expensive chemical reagents and processing equipment; in addition, the invention utilizes the compounding of the auxiliary agent and the beneficial interaction among different components, and the prepared paper pulp foam has excellent performance, wide industrialization prospect and expectable economic benefit.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: the method for preparing the fireproof flame-retardant ultra-light high-strength paper pulp foam by adopting the wood fiber raw material comprises the following steps:
(1) according to the weight ratio of 1 (20-200), adding the mechanically crushed natural wood fiber raw material into the fireproof crosslinking auxiliary agent solution, and carrying out crosslinking reaction under the conditions of heating and stirring to obtain the pulp fiber suspension. The fireproof crosslinking auxiliary agent is borate, boric acid or metaboric acid, and the borate is sodium tetraborate decahydrate, sodium metaborate, sodium polyborate, potassium tetraborate or potassium metaborate; the concentration of the fire-proof auxiliary agent solution is 0.1-0.6M. The temperature of the crosslinking reaction is 35-60 ℃, the reaction time is 0.5-6 h, and the stirring speed is 100-2000 rpm. The boron element is an element for healthy growth of plants, and the mechanical toughness of the plants can be obviously increased in the presence of a very small amount of boron element. In addition, the boron-containing compound is a green and environment-friendly flame retardant.
Wherein the natural wood fiber raw material is one or a mixture of several of commercial paper pulp, waste paper, straw agricultural wastes, cotton and cotton linters; the commercial paper pulp is bleached softwood pulp, bleached hardwood pulp, dissolving pulp or unbleached paper pulp.

The inorganic filler is one or more of nano silicon dioxide, montmorillonite, fly ash, sepiolite, expanded perlite and hollow glass beads; the dosage of the inorganic filler is 1-20wt% of the natural wood fiber raw material. The dosage of the chitosan is 1-20wt% of the natural wood fiber raw material. The stirring speed is 100-2000 rpm, and the stirring time is 0.5-6 h. The pulp foam prepared by adding the chitosan has better strength and water resistance, and can be stably and non-collapsibly in water. The inorganic filler is added, so that the heat transfer can be retarded, the heat conductivity of the paper pulp foam is greatly reduced, and the compression strength is improved by more than 3 times of the original compression strength. The reason is that the sodium borate and the chitosan can play roles of crosslinking, retention aid and reinforcement, so that more inorganic filler can be retained by means of charge action, covalent bond linkage and the like, and the bonding force between the inorganic filler and the fiber is increased.
(3) Adding a foaming agent into the pulp fiber mixed material obtained in the step (2), and mechanically stirring for foaming; excess water and foam are then removed to yield a separated pulp foam. The foaming agent is one or more of sodium dodecyl sulfate, octylamine, decylamine, sodium dodecyl p-toluenesulfonate and fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate; the amount of the foaming agent is 0.5-10wt% of the natural wood fiber raw material.
(4) And (4) drying and forming the paper pulp foam obtained in the step (3) to obtain the fireproof and waterproof paper pulp foam. The drying and forming method is to carry out vacuum drying or direct drying after natural air drying for 2-10 h. The temperature of the vacuum drying is 30-60 ℃, and the time of the vacuum drying is 1-8 h; the direct drying temperature is 25-90 ℃, and the direct drying time is 10-24 h.
The formula for preparing the fireproof flame-retardant ultra-light high-strength paper pulp foam by adopting the wood fiber raw material comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of crushed natural wood fiber raw material and 0.5-10 parts of fireproof crosslinking auxiliary agent; 1-20 parts of inorganic filler and 0-20 parts of chitosan; 0.5-10 parts by weight of foaming agent; a plurality of parts by weight of water; wherein the natural wood fiber raw material has a weight fraction of 0.5-5wt% in water. The natural wood fiber raw material is one or a mixture of several of commercial paper pulp, waste paper, straw agricultural wastes, cotton and cotton linters; the commercial paper pulp is bleached softwood pulp, bleached hardwood pulp, dissolving pulp or unbleached paper pulp. The fireproof crosslinking auxiliary agent is borate, boric acid or metaboric acid, and the borate is sodium tetraborate decahydrate, sodium metaborate, sodium polyborate, potassium tetraborate or potassium metaborate; the inorganic filler is one or more of nano silicon dioxide, montmorillonite, fly ash, sepiolite, expanded perlite and hollow glass beads; the foaming agent is one or more of sodium dodecyl sulfate, octylamine, decylamine, sodium dodecyl p-toluenesulfonate and fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate.

This is because the pulp foam fibers without the addition of sodium tetraborate and chitosan lack effective interaction with each other and also cause a large amount of inorganic filler loss during the suction filtration process, resulting in a large decrease in compressive strength and elasticity.
Comparative example 2: the method is characterized in that the pulp foam is prepared by using commercial bleached wheat straw pulp as a raw material according to the following steps:

Finally adding 7wt% (relative to the natural wood fiber raw material) of foaming agent sodium dodecyl sulfate, continuously stirring for 1h at the stirring speed of 800 rpm, and cooling to room temperature after the reaction is finished.
(2) And removing excessive foam and liquid by means of vacuum filtration. The obtained pulp foam is dried for 2h at ambient temperature and then dried for 20 h in an oven at 45 ℃ for forming to obtain the pulp foam.
The compressive strength of the pulp foam is 132.0 KPa, and after 30 times of compression, the original height of the pulp foam is kept to be 82.1 percent; the thermal conductivity coefficient is 60.6 mW/(m.K), and the limiting oxygen index is 36. Compared with example 4 (compression strength is 500.0 KPa, after 30 times of compression, the original height is kept 83 percent, the thermal conductivity is 20.6 mW/(m.K), and the limiting oxygen index is 36) which is relatively similar to the preparation process, no inorganic filler is added, the elasticity of the product is not greatly changed, but the compression strength is obviously reduced, and the thermal conductivity is greatly increased.
Fig. 8 is an infrared thermal image of the sample prepared in this example. As can be seen from fig. 8, the top temperature of the sample was 18 ℃ and the middle temperature was 23 ℃ under the condition that the bottom heating plate temperature was 70 ℃ for three hours. It is noted that the samples prepared in this comparative example still have some thermal insulation properties, but the thermal insulation properties are somewhat reduced compared to the samples with inorganic filler added (compared to fig. 7 of example 4).

The pulp foam had a strength of only 1.3KPa, and rapidly collapsed in water to change its original pulp form. In addition, in the ignited state, the foam burns rapidly to become ash, and the original foam form cannot be maintained.
As can be seen from the above, the density of the pulp foam of the present invention is as low as 20 mg/cm3(ii) a After 30 times of compression, the foam shape still maintains certain physical strength and original shape, and the maximum compression strength is up to 500 KPa; the limited oxygen index is as high as 39, the thermal conductivity coefficient is as low as 15 mW/(m.K), the self-extinguishing property is realized, and the fireproof performance is excellent. The reason is that the invention utilizes the synergistic crosslinking effect of boron ions, cellulose and chitosan, not only improves the mechanical and fireproof performance of the product, but also effectively increases the retention rate of inorganic filler and natural fiber, thereby reducing the expansion with heat and the contraction with cold of the foam material and improving the dimensional stability of the foam material.
