Description

Continuous preparation system and method for ultra-light material
Technical Field
The invention relates to a continuous preparation system of an ultra-light material, and also relates to a method for preparing the ultra-light material by using the system.
Background
The ultra-light material is prepared by heating and foaming expandable microspheres, and the density of the material is 0.015-0.3Kg/m3The hollow plastic microsphere filler of (2), the diameter of which is 10 to 500 um.
The expandable microsphere is a plastic particle synthesized by suspension polymerization and consists of an airtight shell and a foaming agent sealed in the airtight shell. When the microspheres are heated, irreversible foaming occurs, and pre-expanded microspheres (ultra-light materials) are generated. The ultra-light material is widely applied to the industrial fields of aerospace, high-speed rail, automobiles and the like, coatings, heat-insulating materials, sealing materials and the like as a light filler. The automotive industry uses ultra-lightweight materials in underbody coatings, tires, composites, and adhesives.
The synthesis and foaming techniques of microspheres are reported in patents such as US3615972, EP486080, EP566367, CN201610792097.3, CN201510483687.3, CN201280073857.5 and CN 2012100109302.3. Due to the difference of the synthesis process, the microspheres can be divided into low-temperature, medium-high temperature, high-temperature and ultrahigh-temperature microspheres according to the foamable temperature range of the microspheres. The fast-thinking technologies (shanghai) ltd may provide various different forms of expandable microspheres, including expanded and unexpanded forms, of dry powders and filter cakes, of which low-temperature WU1501 and high-temperature DU608 brands are best known.
Both the unfoamed and the foamed forms of the expandable microspheres are sold in the market, but the foamed microspheres (ultra-light materials) are ultra-light powder with low density, so that the production, transportation and sale of the foamed microspheres are inconvenient, and users generally prepare the foamed microspheres on site, namely purchase a filter cake of the unfoamed expandable microspheres to be added into production equipment for continuously preparing final products.
After the collection of the expandable microspheres from the aqueous phase, the filter cake is dewatered and further dried to form a free flowing dispersible powder. Because the spheres are temperature sensitive (depending on the softening point of the polymer shell wall), high temperature evaporative drying cannot generally be used to remove water in a timely manner. Furthermore, since the aqueous slurry contains many contaminants and additives from the suspension polymerization process, it tends to aggregate and cake when dewatered to form a filter cake, resulting in failure to obtain pre-expanded microspheres with good dispersibility in the end.
Numerous patents have mentioned methods and apparatus for drying foamed microsphere blowing agents. As both US8247465 and US8329298 mention the step of adhering a particulate filler to the outer surface of the microsphere shell, which contributes to improving the dispersibility and flowability of the microspheres upon drying, but this operation is very demanding on the equipment, the procedure is difficult to control, and it is difficult to maintain the quality and uniformity of the product. CN105396524B provides a device for preparing a foamed microsphere foaming agent; the device adds the torrent device, sets up open tubular construction and arc and assembles the section through the setting, can prevent effectively that the microballon foamer from agglomerating at the foaming in-process, but its production efficiency is low, and maneuverability is poor, and equipment utilization is low, can not adjust the different temperature interval's of prefoaming microballon production process at any time. CN105150494A proposes an apparatus and a method for continuously preparing ultra-light filler, which well solves the problems of bridging, blocking and poor fluidity of raw materials during charging, wherein a double screw is used to realize the continuous preparation of dry powder ultra-light filler from wet cake. However, the above-mentioned patent mentions an apparatus and a method for preparing an ultra-lightweight material by further heat-foaming a wet cake having a low water content, and the problems of agglomeration and insufficient foaming when heating a foamed microsphere cake are not solved.
Therefore, there is a need for a continuous preparation system and method for ultra-light materials that overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages.

mixing and dispersing: conveying the microsphere filter cake from the feeding zone 210 to the mixing and dispersing zone 220, and simultaneously adding a surface treatment agent to the mixing and dispersing zone 220 through the auxiliary agent adding device 300, so that the microsphere filter cake and the surface treatment agent are mixed and dispersed in the mixing and dispersing zone 220, thereby obtaining microsphere wet powder;
preheating: transporting said wet microsphere powder from said mixing and dispersing zone 220 to said preheating zone 230, wherein said wet microsphere powder is preheated and further mixed and dispersed in said preheating zone 230 to form a mixed hot wet microsphere powder;
heating: conveying the mixed wet microsphere powder from the preheating zone 230 to the heating zone 240, and further heating the mixed wet microsphere powder through the first heating section 240-1, the second heating section 240-2 and the third heating section 240-3 to obtain incompletely foamed wet microsphere powder;
foaming: and conveying the incompletely foamed microsphere wet powder from the third heating section 240-3 to the heat-insulating foaming device 400, and completing foaming in the heat-insulating foaming device 400, thereby obtaining the ultra-light material.
2.1 feeding step
In one embodiment, the rotation speed of the conical propeller of the feeding device 100 in the feeding step may be 100 and 150rpm, preferably 90-100 rpm. The feed rate in the conical hopper may be 100 and 200 kg/h. The temperature of the feed section may be room temperature.
2.2 mixing and dispersing step
In one embodiment, in the mixing and dispersing step, the solid content of the obtained wet powder of the mixed hot microspheres can be more than 70%, and preferably 70% -75%.
2.3 preheating step
In one embodiment, the rotational speed of the lateral coupling 500 during the preheating step is 50-100rpm, preferably 80-90rpm, which is matched to the rotational speed of the conical propeller of the feeding device 100.

In one embodiment, in the preheating step, the rotation speed of the lateral coupling 500 may be set according to actual operating conditions. If the rotating speed is too high, the mixing speed of the wet microsphere powder and the surface treating agent is too high, and further the coating of the surface treating agent on the surface of the microsphere is too little, so that the microsphere is heated unevenly; if the rotation speed is too low, the speed of conveying the wet powder of microspheres is too slow, further the surface treatment agent mixed in the wet powder of microspheres is not uniform, the microspheres are heated for a long time, and the shells are softened to cause mutual adhesion.

The invention prevents the microsphere wet powder from being heated unevenly in the heating step by adding the surface treating agent. The surface treatment agent includes a solid product and a liquid product. Solid articles are preferred for heat transfer and ease of handling. Specific examples of the solid product and the liquid product are as described above.
In one embodiment, in the heating step, the temperatures of the first heating section 240-1, the second heating section 240-2, and the third heating section 240-3 may be the same or different, and are all higher than the minimum foaming temperature of the microspheres.

For low temperature expanded microspheres, the temperature of the heating zone 240 may be 120-170 ℃, preferably 140-160 ℃, more preferably 140-150 ℃.
For high temperature expanded microspheres, the temperature of the heating zone 240 may be 170-.
2.5 foaming step
In one embodiment, the method further comprises, after the heating step: conveying the mixed wet hot microsphere powder from the heating area 240 to a heat-preservation foaming device 400 for foaming, and collecting the obtained ultra-light material (pre-foaming microspheres) from a discharge hole 406;
