Process Optimization of High Oil Absorption Resins by Suspended Emulsion Polymerization and their Properties

To reduce costs and obtain excellent performance, acrylic modified lignin sulfonate instead of butyl methacrylate stearyl methacrylate was prepared to oil absorption resin. And 1, 4-butylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinking agent, 2,2’-azo-bis-(2-methylpropionitrile) as the initiator, with butyl acrylate to product the high lignin oil-absorbing resin, selected the best scheme for preparing by the orthogonal method, and the different concentrations of lignin and the best resin properties determined by SEM and its oil absorption test. Experimental results show that the resin has the high oil absorption properties,the maximum absorption of 20 times, and the suction speed is fast that 90min to reach saturation; It also has other characteristics,such as inexpensive cost, lightweight, easy recycling and disposal, reusable and so on.

PMMA-BMA oil absorption resin was prepared by dispersion polymerization. Oil absorption properties were adjusted by changing the monomer ratio, content of initiator and crosslinking agent. Absorption capacity of porous material, which PMMA-BMA oil absorption resin adhesive in the polyurethane surface, was also investigated. The experimental results show that the best oil absorption ratio of PMMA-BMA copolymer resin was obtained when the MMA/BMA mole ratio was1:1.5, and the initiator and crosslinking agent was 0.4% and 0.35% of the copolymer resin respectively. The porous material was fabricated using the porous polyurethane sponge dipped in the liquid copolymer resin. The porous material resin can be reused since its low oil retention rate, and it can be used as absorption container of oil vapor.

Grafting Degree

AbstractPolypropylene oil-absorption fibre (PP-g-BA) was prepared by radiationinduced graft polymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) onto polypropylene (PP) using divinylbenzene (DVB) as cross-linking agent. The original and grafted PP fibres were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and the result indicated that butyl acrylate was successfully grafted onto PP fibre. The factors that influenced the grafting degree of PP were discussed, such as the concentration of monomer and crosslinking agent. When the concentration of DVB was 2% and the concentration of BA was 10%, the maximum grafting degree reached 20.53%. The oil absorption properties of PP and PP-g-BA fibre were investigated and the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of PP-g-BA reached 19.74 g/g for toluene and 18.8 g/g for kerosene. Simulating absorption in the oil floating on the surface of water showed that the oil could be absorbed quickly and completely in three minutes. PP-g-BA exhibited quicker adsorption rate and higher adsorption capacity than PP fibre did.

The differential microemulsion polymerization was used to synthesize crosslinked latex nanoparticles. In this paper, 1, 3-butylene glycol dimethacrylate (1, 3-BGDMA) was used as a crosslinking agent respectively 0-6 weight% of monomer total. The polymerization was carried out using butyl methacrylate (BMA), butyl acrylate (BA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) as the monomer mixture. The thin film of latex nanoparticles were prepared by using spin coating method and have been dried at 100°C for 5 minutes. The amount of the crosslinking agent added in the polymerization was optimized and we found that the particle sizes fall in the range of 30-60 nm. Field Emission Scanning Electrons Microscope (FESEM) was demonstrated that the spherical image of uncrosslinked latex change to a wooden-like image when the crosslinking agent added in the polymerization.

Novel composite resins with dual absorption properties of water and oil are prepared by the polymerization of high internal phase emulsion (HIPEs) with n-butyl methacrylate as the external phase monomer and acrylamide as the internal phase monomer. The subsequent polymerization leads to the formation of water and oil dual-absorption composite resins. The morphology of porous structure and microcosmic phase separation after water/oil uptake is observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water and oil absorbency strongly depend on composition. The composites with saturated water uptake could absorb the chloroform again but cant absorb water if saturated with chloroform first. And the resins exhibit great reusability, keeping almost constant absorbency. The present methodology could be a potential approach to obtain amphiphilic composites, which possess potential applications in the bioengineering, medical and industrial fields.
