In the field of raw materials for the production of chemicals, the method of manufacturing an antifoam agent
I. INTRODUCTION
In the process of chemical production, the generation of foam is a common problem. The presence of foam can have adverse effects on the production process, such as reducing production efficiency and affecting product quality. Therefore, the application of defoamer is of great significance in the production of chemicals. In this paper, a manufacturing method of antifoam agent will be introduced in order to provide an effective antifoam solution for chemical production.
II. Materials and Methods
1. Materials
The materials required for this experiment include: silicone oil, emulsifier, stabilizer, preservative, deionized water and so on.
2. Manufacturing method
(1) Add silicone oil, emulsifier, stabilizer into the reactor according to a certain proportion and stir well.
(2) During the stirring process, gradually add deionized water and continue stirring for a certain time to form a stable emulsion.
(3) Add preservative to the emulsion and continue stirring until completely dissolved.
(4) The antifoam agent produced was centrifuged to remove impurities and unemulsified components.
(5) The defoamer was subjected to quality testing, including defoaming performance, stability, compatibility and other indicators.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1. Antifoaming performance
Through the comparative experiments, we found that the antifoam agent produced has good antifoaming performance, which can eliminate the foam in the production process of chemicals in a relatively short period of time. At the same time, its antifoaming effect is durable and can maintain a long antifoaming time.
2. Stability
After centrifugal separation and quality testing, we found that the antifoam agent produced has good stability and can keep its performance unchanged during storage and use. At the same time, the defoamer also has good thermal stability and acid-base stability, which can be used in different chemical production environments.
3. Compatibility
We conducted compatibility tests with different chemicals and found that the defoamer can be compatible with a wide range of chemicals without adversely affecting the quality of the product or the production process. This provides a strong support to further promote the application of this defoamer in the production of chemicals.
IV.CONCLUSION
In this paper, a manufacturing method of antifoam agent was introduced, and it was verified through experiments that the antifoam agent has good antifoam performance, stability and compatibility, and can provide an effective antifoam solution for the production of chemicals. Meanwhile, the method is simple to operate, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and it has good practical application value.
