Performance testing
1. Foaming property test in tap water
The foam stabilizers obtained in examples 1-16 and comparative examples 1-6 were diluted to 100g with municipal tap water to form foam stabilizer solutions, respectively, in an amount of 0.6 g;
then 60g of a conventional foaming agent formula for lightweight concrete and 1840g of municipal tap water are respectively added into the foam stabilizer solution of the examples 1-16, and the mixture is fully and mechanically stirred for 30min to form the foaming liquid of the examples 1-16; the foam stabilizer solutions of comparative examples 2-6 were mechanically stirred sufficiently for 30min to form comparative examples 2-6.
The foam stabilizing performance testing method comprises the following steps: the above example foaming liquids 1 to 16 and comparative example foaming liquids 1 to 6 were thoroughly mixed with compressed air under a pressure of 0.2Mpa of about 30L/min by means of a constant flow pump of 1.5L/min to form a foam 1-foam 22, respectively, and then the expansion ratio and 50% liquid separation time of the produced foam were calculated from the volume and weight of the foam and the decay rate of the foam. The test results are shown in table 2:
TABLE 2 foam Properties in tap Water
As can be seen from Table 2, the foaming ratio of the foaming agent (modified nano silica) of comparative example 4 was 11.2 times, and the foaming and foam stabilizing properties of the foaming agents of examples 1 to 16 of the present invention were better than those of the conventional modified nano silica, as shown in the following examples 1 to 16, the foaming ratio of the foaming agent of comparative examples 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the foaming agent of the present invention, the foaming ratio of the foaming agent of comparative example 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the foaming agent of the present invention, and the foaming and foam stabilizing properties of the foaming agent of comparative example 6 were substantially about 13 times.
Comparative example foaming liquid 1 was a foaming liquid without any foam stabilizer added, and the 50% liquid separation time of the formed foam 17 was 38.5min. The foam stabilizer of the comparative example 2 is added into the foaming liquid 2, the foam stabilizer does not contain sulfonate anionic gemini surfactant, the 50% liquid separation time of the formed foam is 40.3min, the 50% liquid separation time of the foaming liquid 2 of the comparative example is only prolonged by 1.8min compared with the 50% liquid separation time of the foaming liquid 1 of the comparative example without the foam stabilizer, and the two groups of data compare the sulfonate anionic gemini surfactant to have main effect on the stability of the foam.
Compared with the example foaming liquid 3 obtained by adding the foam stabilizer of the example 3, the 50% liquid separation time of the example foaming liquid 3 is 70.3min, and is far longer than the 50% liquid separation time of the example foaming liquid 2 by 40.3min. The three groups of data of the comparative example foaming liquid 1, the comparative example foaming liquid 2 and the example foaming liquid 3 show that the foam stabilizer prepared in the invention mainly plays a role in stabilizing foam and is a sulfonate anionic gemini surfactant.
Foam stabilizing agents are added into the foam 1-16 and the foam 18-22, and the 50% liquid separation time of the foam is higher than that of the foam 17, which indicates that the foam stabilizing agents play a role in stabilizing foam.
The foam 19 and the foam 20 respectively adopt the conventional and practical organic silicon resin polyether and the modified nano silicon dioxide as foam stabilizers, and the 50% liquid separation time of the foam is 56.4min and 54.7min respectively, which shows that the conventional foam stabilizers are limited in improvement of foam stability, and the foam stabilizer provided by the invention can improve the 50% liquid separation time of the foam to more than 60min, especially the 50% liquid separation time of the foam in the foam 3 adopting the foam stabilizer of the embodiment 3 reaches more than 70min, so that the foam stability is greatly improved.
In foam 21 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 5) and foam 22 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 6), the lack of cationic surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant, respectively, reduced the 50% liquid separation time of the foam relative to foam 3 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of example 3), but still greater than foam 18 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 2), indicating that cationic surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant have less effect on foam stability, whereas the sulfonate anionic gemini surfactant of the present invention has a determining effect on foam stability.
2. Foam stabilization in different types of blowing agents
Selection of a foaming agent:
(1) Blowing agents of the anionic type: the foaming agent formula for the conventional lightweight concrete comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 7.5% of sodium dodecyl sulfate (K12), 6.0% of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate (AES), 4.5% of alpha-alkenyl sodium sulfonate (AOS), 6.0% of cocamidopropyl betaine (CAB-35), 4% of coconut fatty acid diethanolamide, 2% of triethanolamine and the balance of water.
(2) Conventional zwitterionic blowing agents: the main component is cocamidopropyl betaine CAB-35, and a small amount of anionic surfactant is added.
(3) Conventional bio-based foaming agents: the main component is polypeptide or amino acid mixture formed by biological protein fermentation.
The foam stabilizers obtained in example 3 and comparative examples 3 to 6 were each diluted to 100g with municipal tap water to form a foam stabilizer solution.
And then respectively taking 60g of an anionic foaming agent, 60g of a conventional zwitterionic foaming agent and 60g of a conventional bio-based foaming agent, respectively adding 1840g of municipal tap water into the three foaming agents, and fully mechanically stirring for 30min to form examples 17-19 and comparative foaming liquids 7-18.
The foam stabilizing performance testing method comprises the following steps: the foaming liquids 17 to 19 of the above examples and the foaming liquids 7 to 18 of the comparative examples were thoroughly mixed with compressed air under a pressure of 0.2Mpa of about 30L/min by a constant flow pump of 1.5L/min to form a foam 23 to foam 37 by a foam generator, and then the expansion ratio and 50% liquid separation time of the produced foam were calculated according to the volume and weight of the foam and the decay rate of the foam. The test results are shown in table 3:
TABLE 3 foam Properties in tap Water
As can be seen from table 3, in the foaming liquids of three systems of anionic foaming agent, conventional zwitterionic foaming agent and conventional bio-based foaming agent, the foaming ratio of the system is affected by the adoption of the foam stabilizer (modified nano silicon dioxide) of comparative example 4; the foam stabilizing effect in the anionic foaming agent is obvious, but the foam stabilizing effect in the conventional zwitterionic foaming agent and the conventional bio-based foaming agent is poor, and the foam stabilizing effect in the anionic foaming agent is better by adopting the foam stabilizing agent (lack of cationic surfactant) in the comparative example 3, but the foam stabilizing effect in the conventional zwitterionic foaming agent and the conventional bio-based foaming agent is slightly poor; the foam stabilizer of comparative example 6 (lacking zwitterionic surfactant) had better foam stabilizing effect in conventional zwitterionic blowing agents, but slightly worse in anionic blowing agents and conventional bio-based blowing agents. The foaming liquid 17, the foaming liquid 18 and the foaming liquid 19 of the embodiment, which are composed of the foam stabilizer of the embodiment 3, can keep the 50% liquid separation time at 70min in the anionic foaming agent, the zwitterionic foaming agent and the bio-based foaming agent, and have better foam stabilizing effect and wider application range.
3. High hardness in-water foaming performance test
The foam stabilizers obtained in example 3, example 4, example 6, example 7, example 15, example 16 and comparative examples 2 to 6 were each treated with 0.6g of water having a high hardness (total degree of mineralization 8000mg/L, ca) 2+ 、Mg 2+ The total concentration is 600mg/L, the rest is Cl - And Na (Na) + ) Diluted to 100g to form a foam stabilizer solution.
And then 60g of a conventional foaming agent formula for lightweight concrete and 1840g of high-hardness water are respectively added into the foam stabilizer solution, and the mixture is fully and mechanically stirred for 30min to form 20-25 of an example foaming liquid and 20-24 of a comparative example foaming liquid.
The conventional lightweight concrete foaming agent formulation 60g and high hardness water 1840g were sufficiently mechanically stirred for 30min to form a comparative foaming liquid 19.
The foam stabilizing performance testing method comprises the following steps: the foaming liquids 20 to 25 of the above examples and the foaming liquids 19 to 24 of the comparative examples were thoroughly mixed with compressed air at a pressure of 0.2Mpa of about 30L/min by a constant flow pump of 1.5L/min through a foam generator to form foam 38 to foam 49, and then the expansion ratio and 50% liquid separation time of the produced foam were calculated according to the volume and weight of the foam and the decay rate of the foam. The test results are shown in table 4:
TABLE 4 foam Properties in high hardness Water
As can be seen from Table 4, the comparative example foam liquid 19 was a foam liquid prepared with high hardness water without any foam stabilizer, the foaming ratio of the formed foam 44 was 13.1 times, the 50% liquid separation time was 37.4 minutes, and the foaming ratio and liquid separation time were somewhat lower than those of the foam liquid prepared with tap water (comparative example foam liquid 1), indicating that the foaming performance of the foam liquid itself was not greatly affected by water.
The foam 46 adopts the prior conventionally used silicone polyether as a foam stabilizer, the 50% liquid separation time of the foam is 51.2min respectively, compared with the 37.4min of the 50% liquid separation time of the foam 44 without the foam stabilizer, the prior conventionally used silicone polyether still has a certain foam stabilizing effect in hard water, but has a certain gap compared with the foam stabilizing effect (56.4 min) in tap water, which indicates that the silicone polyether foam stabilizer cannot adapt to the water quality of the hard water.
The foam 47 adopts the existing modified nano silicon dioxide as a foam stabilizer, the 50% liquid separation time of the foam 47 in high-hardness water is 52.6min, and the foam 47 has a small difference with the 50% liquid separation time (54.7 min) in tap water, which indicates that the modified nano silicon dioxide is insensitive to the change of water quality and salinity as the foam stabilizer; the foam stabilizing effect is far lower than 50% liquid separation time (69.8 min) of the foam 39 of the embodiment 3, and the addition of the modified nano silicon dioxide has a certain defoaming effect, so that the foaming multiple of a foam system is reduced (11.2 times in tap water and 10.8 times in high-hardness water) and is lower than the foaming multiple of the foaming property per se (about 13 times).
In high hardness water, the foam systems of the examples 3, 4, 6, 7, 15 and 16 are adopted, no big difference exists between the foam systems and the corresponding foam solutions in tap water in terms of foaming times and 50% liquid separation time, and especially the 50% liquid separation time of the foam solution 20 of the example, which is obtained by adding the foam stabilizer of the example 3, is 69.8min, which indicates that the foam stabilizer product of the example has strong adaptability to hard water.
In foam 48 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 5) and foam 49 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 6), the lack of cationic surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant, respectively, reduced the 50% liquid separation time of the foam relative to foam 38 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of example 3), but still greater than foam 45 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 2), indicating that cationic surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant have less effect on the foam stability of the hard water, whereas the sulfonate anionic gemini surfactant of the present invention has a determining effect on the foam stability.
4. Testing of foaming Performance in seawater
The foam stabilizers obtained in example 3, example 4, example 6, example 7, example 15, example 16 and comparative examples 2 to 6 were diluted with seawater to 100g to form foam stabilizer solutions, respectively, at 0.6 g.
And then 60g of a conventional foaming agent formula for lightweight concrete and 1840g of seawater are respectively added into the foam stabilizer solution, and the mixture is fully and mechanically stirred for 30min to form the foaming liquid 26-31 of the example and the foaming liquid 26-30 of the comparative example.
The conventional lightweight concrete foaming agent formulation 60g and seawater 1840g were sufficiently mechanically stirred for 30min to form a comparative foaming liquid 25.
The foam stabilizing performance testing method comprises the following steps: the foaming liquids 26 to 31 of the above examples and the foaming liquids 25 to 30 of the comparative examples were thoroughly mixed with compressed air under a pressure of 0.2Mpa of about 30L/min by a constant flow pump of 1.5L/min through a foam generator to form foam 50-foam 61, and then the expansion ratio and 50% liquid separation time of the produced foam were calculated according to the volume and weight of the foam and the decay rate of the foam. The test results are shown in table 5:
TABLE 5 foam Properties in seawater
As can be seen from Table 5, the comparative example foaming liquid 25 was a foaming liquid prepared with seawater without any foam stabilizer, the foaming ratio of the formed foam 56 was 12.9 times, the 50% liquid separation time was 36.9min, and compared with the foaming liquid prepared with tap water (comparative example foaming liquid 1), the foaming ratio and the liquid separation time were somewhat reduced, indicating that the foaming performance itself of the foaming liquid in seawater was not greatly affected by water.
The foam 58 adopts the prior conventionally used silicone polyether as a foam stabilizer, the 50% liquid separation time of the foam is 42.3min respectively, and compared with the 50% liquid separation time of the foam 56 without the foam stabilizer, the prior conventionally used silicone polyether has very limited foam stabilizing effect in seawater, which indicates that the foam stabilizing effect of the silicone polyether is poorer and poorer along with the rising of salt in the seawater quality.
The foam 59 adopts the existing modified nano silicon dioxide as a foam stabilizer, the 50% liquid separation time of the foam 59 in the seawater is 49.1min, which is not greatly different from the 50% liquid separation time (54.7 min) in tap water, so that the modified nano silicon dioxide as the foam stabilizer is insensitive to the change of the salinity of water quality; the foam stabilizing effect is far lower than 50% liquid separation time (68.1 min) of the foam 50 of the embodiment 3, and the addition of the modified nano silicon dioxide has a certain defoaming effect, so that the foaming multiple of a foam system is reduced (11.2 times in tap water and 9.9 times in seawater) and is lower than the foaming multiple of the foaming property per se (about 13 times).
In seawater, the foam systems of the examples 3, 4, 6, 7, 15 and 16 are reduced to a smaller extent in terms of foaming times or 50% liquid separation time compared with the corresponding foam liquid in tap water, but the reduction amplitude is smaller, so that the influence of the salt concentration change in water quality on the foam stabilizer of the examples is smaller, and particularly the 50% liquid separation time of the foam liquid 26 of the example obtained by adding the foam stabilizer of the example 3 is 68.1min, and the foam stabilizer product of the example has stronger adaptability to seawater compared with the 50% liquid separation time (70.3 min) in tap water.
In foam 60 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 5) and foam 61 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 6), the lack of cationic surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant, respectively, reduced the 50% liquid separation time of the foam relative to 50 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of example 3), but still greater than that of foam 57 (with the addition of the foam stabilizer of comparative example 2), indicating that cationic surfactant and zwitterionic surfactant have less effect on the stability of the seawater foam, whereas the sulfonate anionic gemini surfactant of the present invention has a determining effect on foam stability.
