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

Abstract

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.
