DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The structures, scales, sizes and the like drawn in the attached drawings of the specification are all used to comply with the disclosures of the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, rather than limiting the conditions for the implementation of the present disclosure, so they have no technical significance. Any modifications of the structure, changes of the proportion and adjustments of sizes, without affecting the effects and purposes to be achieved by the present disclosure, should fall within the scope of the technical contents disclosed by the present disclosure.

[0027] The carbon black synthetic filter materials of the present disclosure are used to remove contaminants in the air, which can be prepared by impregnating nonwoven fabric filter fibers with a mixed solution composed of carbon black, animal glue, glycerin, urea, cupric complex of amino acid, Turkey red oil, methylsilicone oil and deionized water.

[0028] The present disclosure specifies the proportion of main raw materials: the proportion of bone glue:carbon black powder:glycerin:urea:cupric complex of amino acid:Turkey red oil:methylsilicone oil is 40:60:40:5:1:2:2. The weight parts of raw materials are as below: 2˜4 parts of carbon black, 1˜3 parts of animal glue, 1˜3 parts of glycerin, 0.2˜0.4 parts of urea, 0.03˜0.06 parts of cupric complex of amino acid, 0.05˜0.15 parts of Turkey red oil, 0.05˜0.15 parts of methylsilicone oil, and 45˜55 parts of water, respectively. The performance difference of the materials is closely related to the synthesis method of the materials, but the present disclosure is more inclined to practical uses. The present disclosure is intended to solve the problems in the application of the current air filters, which has more practical significance, and especially provides reference for the later study of viruses and other microorganism.

[0029] On the basis of the currently conventional air filters commonly applied in the market, by selection through a great deal of impregnating experiments, the present disclosure prepares a novel composite material finally. Moreover, the application and practical effects of the composite material are tested experimentally, with the results showing that the filtering effect on small particles is improved significantly, thereby providing basic parameters of material development for the later research and development of filters for viruses and other microorganism as well as particulate matters. In addition, the synthetic composite material further changes the combination form in which the traditional fiber filters only filter particulate matters and activated carbon only filters gaseous contaminants. The present disclosure can effectively solve the problem of adopting a combination of filters with different functions in the treatment of contaminants for the currently available air filters, overcome the disadvantages of large volume and complicated structure in the current compound filters, and avoid the increasing of filter resistance caused by the difference in combining form and arrangement in case of cost waste. Therefore, the present disclosure not only realizes the elimination of both gaseous contaminants and solid particulate matters, but also reduces the space occupied by compound filters effectively, thus achieving an effect of 1+1>2.

[0030] Unless otherwise specified, equipment used in the present disclosure is conventional equipment in the field, and the materials used in the present disclosure are all commercially available.

Example 1

[0031] This example provides a preparation method of carbon black synthetic filter materials and an application thereof, in which the carbon black synthetic filter materials are used to remove contaminants in the air, and are prepared by impregnating nonwoven fabric filter fibers with a mixed solution composed of carbon black, animal glue, glycerin, urea, cupric complex of amino acid, Turkey red oil, methylsilicone oil and deionized water, the nonwoven fabric filter fibers are coated with carbon black; wherein, the mixed solution is composed of the following weight parts of raw materials: 2˜4 parts of carbon black, 1˜3 parts of animal glue, 1˜3 parts of glycerin, 0.2˜0.4 parts of urea, 0.03˜0.06 parts of cupric complex of amino acid, 0.05˜0.15 parts of Turkey red oil, 0.05˜0.15 parts of methylsilicone oil, and 45˜55 parts of water.

[0032] In particular, following the above proportions of raw materials, animal glue was dissolved in deionized water to form a glue solution, where the animal glue was bone glue, into which was added carbon black to mix, where the carbon black was Shenling carbon black power of model C311, then added glycerin, urea, cupric complex of amino acid, Turkey red oil and methylsilicone oil, and finally added deionized water and stirred to form a stable mixed solution through ultrasonic dispersion; nonwoven fabric filter fibers were impregnated into the mixed solution, where the time for impregnation was 2.5˜3.5 h, and the temperature for impregnation was 10˜25° C. Then the nonwoven fabric filter fibers after impregnation were dried in an oven to get carbon black synthetic filter materials, where the drying time was 2.5˜3.5 h, and the drying temperature was 50˜70° C. According to the Certification Standards EN779, ISO9001, the filtration grade of the nonwoven fabric filter fibers was certified as F6.

[0033] As a preferable example, the mixed solution was composed of the following weight parts of raw materials: 3 parts of carbon black, 2 parts of animal glue, 2 parts of glycerin, 0.25 parts of urea, 0.05 parts of cupric complex of amino acid, 0.1 parts of Turkey red oil, 0.1 parts of methylsilicone oil, and 45˜55 parts of water. The carbon black synthetic filter materials prepared at this proportion were shown in the SEM diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 2, from which it can be seen that the surface of fibers after impregnating with carbon black became rough, the distribution was in the state of manual processing; after impregnating with carbon black, the porosity of fibers is small, but the fibers are dense in structure. After impregnating with carbon black, the surface of each fiber was coated with carbon black to form a carbon black coating. A part of carbon black was deposited on the surface of some fibers, and some crosslinking occurred on the surface of carbon black. There were some wrinkles in the coating and the surface was rough.

Example 2

[0034] The same as Example 1 except that the mixed solution in this example is composed of the following weight parts of raw materials: 2.5 parts of carbon black, 2.2 parts of animal glue, 1.4 parts of glycerin, 0.35 parts of urea, 0.04 parts of cupric complex of amino acid, 0.15 parts of Turkey red oil, 0.05 parts of methylsilicone oil, and 45˜55 parts of water.

Example 3

[0035] The same as Example 1 except that the mixed solution in this example is composed of the following weight parts of raw materials: 3.5 parts of carbon black, 3 parts of animal glue, 2.5 parts of glycerin, 0.3 parts of urea, 0.06 parts of cupric complex of amino acid, 0.05 parts of Turkey red oil, 0.15 parts of methylsilicone oil, and 45˜55 parts of water.

Example 4

[0036] In this example, the carbon black synthetic filter materials prepared in the preferable example 1 was calculated according to the test and corresponding equations, and the filling rate was calculated by measuring the density of the filter material and then calculating the ratio of the density of the filter material to the density of the material used in the filter material.

[00001]$\alpha =\frac{{\rho }_1}{{\rho }_2}$

[0037] In the equation: α—the filling rate, %; ρ.sub.1—the density of the filtering layer, kg/m.sup.3; ρ.sub.2—the density of the material used in the filtering layer, kg/m.sup.3.

[0038] The relevant parameters of two pieces of nonwoven fabric fiber filter materials were obtained and shown in Table 1.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Main parameters of experimental samples Grade Gram Filling Grade (National Specification weight rate Porosity (EN779) Standards) No. Material (thickness, mm) (g/m.sup.2) (%) (%) F6 Z2 A Nonwoven 25 * 25 * 8 12.08 4.65 95.35 fabrics B Nonwoven 25 * 25 * 8 5.48 2.19 97.81 fabrics

[0039] It can be known from Table 1 that, A is a synthetic material after impregnation, B is a blank control, indicating that after impregnation, the filling rater was increased, the porosity was reduced, the pores among fibers became smaller, thus increasing the chance of capturing particulate matters by the filter materials. Therefore, the improvement on the existing nonwoven fabric fiber materials helps to improve the filtration of fine particulate matters.

[0040] An application of the carbon black synthetic filter materials of the present disclosure in removing contaminants in the air, the filtration efficiencies of the carbon black synthetic filter materials on PM.sub.1.0, PM.sub.2.5, PM.sub.10 are enhanced by 16.8%, 28.0% and 11.7%, respectively.

[0041] A particulate matter (PM) filtration experiment was performed on the prepared carbon black synthetic filter materials. The PM filtration efficiency difference before and after improvement at different filtering velocities can be seen from FIG. 5. At a filtering velocity of 0.2 m/s, the concentration difference of PM.sub.1.0 before and after improvement is the maximum 3.04%, which was mainly due to the leading role of Brownian motion as well as the continuous diffusion movement of particles. With the increase of the filtering velocity, the concentration difference of PM.sub.10, PM.sub.2.5, PM.sub.1.0 before and after improvement increased gradually, reaching the maximum at 0.8 m/s, at which before and after improvement, the concentration difference of PM.sub.10 was 4.81%, the concentration difference of PM.sub.2.5 was 6.74%, and the concentration difference of PM.sub.1.0 was 3.48%. The filtration efficiencies on PM.sub.1.0, PM.sub.2.5, PM.sub.10 were enhanced by 16.8%, 28.0%, 11.7% respectively. Therefore, it can be seen that the improved materials had significantly enhanced filtration efficiencies on particulate matters, in particular, the filtration effect on PM.sub.2.5 was more significant.

[0042] The filtration efficiencies of fiber materials before and after synthesis on particulate matters with different particle sizes at a filtering velocity of 0.8 m/s were shown in FIG. 6, from which it can be seen that the filtration efficiencies of fiber materials before and after synthesis increased with the increasing of particle size, and the filtration efficiencies before synthesis were higher than the filtration efficiencies after synthesis. For particulate matters smaller than 0.5 μm, the filtration efficiencies of two pieces of fiber filtration materials were both low, not exceeding 30%. For particulate matters with particle sizes of 0.6˜2.5 μm, the filtration efficiency difference between filtration materials after synthesis and filtration materials before synthesis was in a range of 10%˜20%. And for particulate matters greater than 2.5 μm, the filtration efficiencies of two pieces of fiber filtration materials were comparable. Therefore, the filtration materials after synthesis mainly improve the capture of particulate matters of 0.6˜2.5 μm, this is due to that after the filtration materials after synthesis have been modified with carbon black, the porosity among fibers is reduced, thus increasing the chance of capturing particulate matters. Therefore, the modification on the existing nonwoven fabric fiber materials helps to improve the filtration of fine particulate matters.

[0043] An application of the carbon black synthetic filter materials prepared by the preparation method of carbon black synthetic filter materials of the present disclosure in removing contaminants in the air, the filtration efficiencies of the carbon black synthetic filter materials on PM.sub.1.0, PM.sub.2.5, PM.sub.10 are enhanced by 16.8%, 28.0% and 11.7%, respectively.

Comparative Example 1

[0044] The same as Example 1 except that no glycerin was added in this example, and the prepared carbon black synthetic filter material was shown in FIG. 7. It can be seen from FIG. 7 that in the absence of glycerin, bulky structures were found in both (a) polyester fiber materials and (b) nonwoven fabric materials, and the area was large in some regions. This is due to the widely presence of carbon black in nature, carbon black powder used in the present disclosure exists mainly in the form of small particles, and glycerin acts as a lubricant. Therefore, in the formation of dispersion, if no glycerin is added, the formed dispersion is difficult to disperse without the lubricant and prone to coagulate. The occurrence of bulky coagulation after synthesis is not suitable for practical use, thus affecting the synthesis of materials greatly. Secondly, glycerin makes the dispersant more smooth and uniform, so that the dispersion can bind to the filter materials well during the synthesis of materials, thus enabling the formed materials more stable after drying and not fall off in small wind. In the process of synthesis, if no other auxiliary materials are added after drying, small particles such as carbon black and the like would be only attached to the nonwoven fabrics and fall off directly under a little external force, which may have no effects and fail to meet the desired requirement.

[0045] Therefore, by the same principle, Example 1 is the optimal raw material proportion in terms of the selection of various raw materials for the formation of dispersion.

Comparative Example 2

[0046] The same as Example 1 except that the nonwoven fabric filter fibers used in Example 1 were replaced with polyester fiber materials and polyester materials, where the polyester fiber materials and polyester materials as well as the nonwoven fabric filter fibers of the present disclosure are all air filter materials. The impregnating results were shown in FIG. 8, from which it can be seen that, in the same dispersion, the synthetic materials showed different morphologies. The reasons were in that polyester fibers and polyester materials have large porosity, so the solution may flow in the gaps, thus causing uneven impregnation; secondly, there may be solution accumulation because of the connection among fibers, resulting in uneven density after drying, so it is difficult to meet the desired requirement. The structure of nonwoven fabrics is relatively uniform, and there is no large area of non-uniformity and bulky structures in the impregnated materials. Therefore, it is demonstrated through a large amount of experiments that the nonwoven fabrics have relatively good effects.

It should be noted that the foregoing are only preferable examples of the present disclosure, rather than limiting the present disclosure.
