Polyethylene (PE) is one of five synthetic resins, and is also the variety with the largest capacity and the largest import quantity in the synthetic resins in China. PE-based carbon fibers offer advantages over traditional PAN-CF in price and supply, such as high carbon yield (about 70%), excellent processability and very competitive cost. However, PE has a low melting point (130-135 ℃) and needs to be carbonized after stabilization treatment to obtain carbon fibers. At present, the PE precursor fiber is mainly subjected to concentrated sulfuric acid and high-temperature sulfonation treatment or electron beam irradiation crosslinking assisted concentrated sulfuric acid sulfonation. The electron beam irradiation equipment is expensive and 5-10 times of the ultraviolet irradiation equipment, and high-energy rays have great potential safety hazards to the personal safety and health of operators. The sulfonation and crosslinking process of concentrated sulfuric acid is long, and a large amount of toxic SOx gas is generated, so that the problems of environment and safety are caused.
