  • Publication number: 20230242769
    Abstract: Disclosed is an impurity removal and modification method for pyrolysis carbon black of waste tires, the method comprising: dispersing pyrolysis carbon black of waste tires in an alkali solution of potassium ferrate; adding hypohalite; leaving to stand for layering; and performing centrifugation and washing on a lower-layer slurry to obtain a stably dispersed pyrolysis carbon black/water suspension. This modification method can be operated simply and easily; and by means of the method, ash in pyrolysis carbon black of waste tires can be effectively removed, and the pyrolysis carbon black is then stably dispersed in water. In addition, the modification method is low in production cost, and is green and environmentally friendly, and a waste liquid thereof can be recycled.

  • Publication number: 20230076982
    Abstract: A preparation method includes 1) dispersing cellulose nanocrystal in water and adjusting pH to 7; 2) adding carboxylate to the aqueous dispersion of the step 1), and stirring until uniform; and 3) adding a monomer and a ceric ammonium nitrate initiator to the system of the step 2), reacting for 0.5-3 h to obtain a precipitate, and subjecting the precipitate to suction filtration, washing, and drying to obtain the cellulose nanocrystal powder. By adding a small amount of carboxylate into a cellulose nanocrystal graft polymer modification system initiated by ceric ammonium nitrate, hydrolysis of cerium ions can be inhibited through complexation of the carboxylate to the cerium ions which play an initiating role in ceric ammonium nitrate, so that ceric ammonium nitrate can initiate the polymerization reaction under acid-free conditions, thereby achieving polymerization of polyvinyl acetate monomer on the surface of cellulose nanocrystals.
