Polymer bentonite composite impermeable material and pyrogen-free synthesis method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of macromolecules, and particularly relates to a polymer bentonite composite impermeable material and a non-heat source synthesis method thereof.
Background
The gaps among the bentonite particles are main channels for water conduction, when the bentonite particles absorb water and swell, the gaps among the particles can be blocked, the channels for water transmission become roundabout and tortuous, and the permeability coefficient is obviously reduced. However, in salt, strong acid and strong base solutions, the hydrophilicity of natural bentonite is significantly reduced, the swelling property is reduced, and the barrier property is no longer provided. It is noted that bentonite-based barrier facilities need to be applied in a wide variety of harsh environments. For example, when the bentonite waterproof blanket is applied to vertical separation of industrial solid waste landfill sites, a large amount of acid or alkaline salt solution is generated by industrial waste under the fermentation of microorganisms, and the traditional bentonite waterproof blanket is difficult to effectively separate, so that waste liquid leakage is caused, and the life health of people and the sustainable development of the society are harmed. Therefore, the research on the salt, acid and alkali resistant modified bentonite is urgent.
Polymer hydrogels have been studied for a long time. We note that the ionic polyacrylic acid hydrogel has ultrahigh water absorption rate and better salt resistance, and the non-ionic polyamide hydrogel has lower sensitivity to the pH value of the solution. Synthesizing polymer bentonite nano composite material, endowing the bentonite with the hydrophilicity, salt resistance, acid resistance and alkali resistance of the polymer, and obtaining the high-seepage-proofing modified bentonite. Among them, a method of directly blending a polymer with bentonite has received much attention. For example, in CN105199288A, cationic polyacrylamide and bentonite are blended under hydrothermal and stirring conditions, so that intercalation of a polymer on montmorillonite crystals is realized, a high-molecular bentonite nanocomposite is obtained, and the barrier property of bentonite on an organic pollutant aqueous solution is effectively improved. As such a scheme of blending a polymer with bentonite should also include two prerequisite steps of synthesis and purification of the polymer from the viewpoint of overall social cost, it should be noted that the modification scheme of blending polyacrylamide with bentonite does not improve the barrier property of the bentonite sample against strong acid, alkali and salt solutions. It is speculated that the synthetic route for composites is a function of production costs, while the choice of polymer influences the properties of the product.
In conclusion, a simple and fast low-cost scheme for synthesizing salt-resistant and acid-alkali-resistant bentonite barrier materials is still lacking. An in-situ polymerization scheme under the condition of no heat source is provided, so that the modified monomer and the bentonite are subjected to polymerization reaction while being blended, and the salt-resistant, acid-resistant and alkali-resistant polymer bentonite nanocomposite is obtained.
