Introduction

Polyurethane (PU) is a high-performance polymer material and is widely used in many fields such as construction, automobile, home appliances, furniture, textiles, etc. Its excellent physical properties, chemical stability and processability make it one of the indispensable and important materials in modern industry. However, the catalysts and solvents used in traditional polyurethane production processes often contain harmful substances, such as heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which pose a potential threat to the environment and human health. With the continuous improvement of global environmental awareness, the development of environmentally friendly polyurethane production processes has become an inevitable trend in the development of the industry.

A-1 catalyst, as a high-efficiency, low-toxic and environmentally friendly polyurethane catalyst, has received widespread attention and application at home and abroad in recent years. A-1 catalyst has a unique chemical structure and catalytic mechanism, which can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol at lower temperatures, significantly improve the reaction rate and product quality, and reduce the generation of by-products. Compared with traditional catalysts, A-1 catalysts can not only reduce production costs, but also reduce environmental pollution, which is in line with the development concept of green chemistry.

This article will focus on the combination of A-1 catalyst and environmentally friendly polyurethane production process, and demonstrate its advantages and potential in actual production by analyzing its product parameters, reaction mechanism, process optimization and other aspects. The article will also cite a large number of foreign and famous domestic documents, and combine specific cases to deeply explore the performance of A-1 catalyst in different application scenarios, providing reference for relevant companies and researchers.

The chemical structure and catalytic mechanism of A-1 catalyst

A-1 catalyst is a highly efficient polyurethane catalyst based on organotin compounds, and its chemical structure is usually Dibutyltin Dilaurate (DBTDL). DBTDL is one of the commonly used organotin catalysts in the polyurethane industry. It has good catalytic activity and selectivity, and can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate (Isocyanate, -NCO) and polyol (Polyol, -OH) and form polyurethane chain segments. . The chemical structure of A-1 catalyst is as follows:

[ text{DBTDL} = text{(C}_4text{H}_9text{)}2text{Sn(OOC-C}{11}text{H}_{23}text{ )}_2 ]

From the chemical structure, DBTDL molecules contain two butyl (C4H9) and two laurate (OOC-C11H23), in which the tin atom (Sn) is located in the center of the molecule, playing a key catalytic role. The catalytic mechanism of DBTDL is mainly divided into the following steps:

  1. Coordination effect: The tin atoms in the DBTDL molecule first form coordination bonds with the nitrogen atoms in the isocyanate group (-NCO), reducing the electron cloud density of the isocyanate group, thereby enhancing its electrophilicity.

  2. Activation reactants: Coordinated isocyanate groups are more likely to react with polyol groups (-OH) to form intermediates. At this time, the laurate ions in the DBTDL molecule play a role in stabilizing the intermediate and preventing them from decomposing or side reactions with other reactants.

  3. Accelerating reaction: Under the catalytic action of DBTDL, the reaction rate between isocyanate and polyol is significantly increased, resulting in a polyurethane segment. At the same time, DBTDL molecules can repeatedly participate in the reaction to maintain a high catalytic efficiency.

  4. Terminate the reaction: When the reaction reaches a predetermined level, the reaction can be terminated by adding an appropriate amount of a terminator (such as water or amine compounds) to avoid excessive crosslinking or adverse by-products.

Study shows that DBTDL, as an efficient organotin catalyst, has the following advantages:

  • High catalytic activity: DBTDL can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol at lower temperatures, shorten the reaction time and improve production efficiency.
  • Good selectivity: DBTDL has a high selectivity for the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, which can reduce the occurrence of side reactions and improve product quality.
  • Low toxicity: Compared with traditional heavy metal catalysts such as lead and mercury, DBTDL has lower toxicity and has a less impact on the environment and human health.
  • Easy to Recycle: Tin atoms in DBTDL molecules can be recycled and reused through chemical treatment or physical separation, reducing production costs and reducing resource waste.

Although DBTDL has many advantages, it still has certain limitations. For example, DBTDL is easily decomposed at high temperatures and produces harmful gases; in addition, when the amount of DBTDL is used, it may cause trace amounts of tin residue in the product, affecting the environmental performance of the product. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to reasonably select the type and dosage of catalysts according to specific process conditions and product requirements to ensure good catalytic effect and environmental protection performance.

Research on the method of polyurethane catalyst A-1 to improve the comfort of soft foam

Introduction

Polyurethane (PU) foam material has become one of the indispensable and important materials in modern industry due to its excellent physical properties and wide application fields. Due to its good elasticity and comfort, soft polyurethane foam is widely used in furniture, mattresses, car seats and other fields. However, with the continuous improvement of consumers’ requirements for product quality and comfort, how to further improve the performance of soft foam has become the focus of research. Catalysts play a crucial role in the synthesis of polyurethane foams. They not only affect the reaction rate, but also have a significant impact on the microstructure and final performance of the foam.

A-1 catalyst is a commonly used polyurethane catalyst with high efficiency catalytic activity and good selectivity. It can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, thereby accelerating the foam formation process. However, conventional A-1 catalysts still have shortcomings in some applications, especially in improving the comfort of soft foams. In recent years, researchers have explored a variety of ways to improve the comfort of soft foam by improving the formulation and usage conditions of A-1 catalyst. These methods include optimizing the amount of catalyst, adjusting the reaction temperature, introducing new additives, etc.

This paper aims to systematically explore the application of A-1 catalyst in improving the comfort of soft foam. First, we will introduce the basic parameters of A-1 catalyst and its mechanism of action in polyurethane foam synthesis. Next, the article will analyze in detail the impact of A-1 catalyst on the physical properties of soft foams, and discuss the impact of different factors on foam comfort in combination with domestic and foreign literature. Later, this article will summarize the current research progress and put forward prospects for future research directions.

Basic parameters and mechanism of action of A-1 catalyst

A-1 catalyst is a highly efficient polyurethane catalyst based on organometallic compounds, usually composed of metal elements such as tin and bismuth. Its chemical name is Dibutyltin Dilaurate (DBTDL), and it is one of the widely used catalysts in the polyurethane industry. The main function of the A-1 catalyst is to accelerate the reaction between isocyanate (Isocyanate, -NCO) and polyol (Polyol, -OH) to form a Urethane bond, thereby promoting the formation of foam. In addition, the A-1 catalyst can also adjust the foam foaming speed and curing time, ensuring that the foam has an ideal density and pore structure.

The chemical structure and properties of A-1 catalyst

The chemical structure of the A-1 catalyst is shown in Table 1. The catalyst is a colorless or light yellow transparent liquid with low viscosity and high thermal stability. Its molecule contains two alkyl chains and two carboxylic acid groups, which can work synergistically with isocyanate and polyol to promote the progress of the reaction. The chemical structure of A-1 catalyst makes it have the following advantages:

  1. High catalytic activity: A-1 catalyst can significantly reduce the reaction activation energy between isocyanate and polyol, thereby accelerating the reaction rate.
  2. Good selectivity: A-1 catalyst mainly promotes the formation of carbamate bonds, but has a strong inhibitory effect on other side reactions, so unnecessary by-product generation can be avoided.
  3. Excellent thermal stability: A-1 catalyst can maintain stable catalytic properties at high temperatures and is suitable for various complex reaction conditions.
  4. Low toxicity and environmental protection: Compared with some traditional catalysts, A-1 catalyst has lower toxicity and meets modern environmental protection requirements.

Mechanism of action of A-1 catalyst

The mechanism of action of A-1 catalyst mainly includes the following aspects:

  1. Promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol: A-1 catalyst reduces the reaction of isocyanate molecules by providing electrons to isocyanate moleculesThe reaction activation energy is achieved, making the reaction between isocyanate and polyol easier to proceed. Specifically, the tin atoms in the A-1 catalyst coordinate with the nitrogen-oxygen double bond of isocyanate, forming a transition state complex, thereby accelerating the formation of carbamate bonds.

  2. Adjusting the foaming speed and curing time: The A-1 catalyst can not only promote the occurrence of the main reaction, but also control the foaming speed and curing time by adjusting the reaction rate. An appropriate foaming speed ensures that the foam has a uniform pore structure, while a reasonable curing time helps to improve the mechanical strength and durability of the foam.

  3. Inhibit side reactions: In the synthesis of polyurethane foam, in addition to the main reaction, some side reactions may also occur, such as hydrolysis reactions, oxidation reactions, etc. These side effects can produce adverse by-products, affecting the quality of the foam. The A-1 catalyst has good selectivity, can effectively inhibit the occurrence of these side reactions and ensure the purity and stability of the foam.

  4. Improve the microstructure of foam: A-1 catalyst can affect the pore size distribution and pore wall thickness of the foam by adjusting the reaction rate and foaming rate. Studies have shown that the appropriate amount of catalyst can make the foam pore size more uniform and the pore wall thickness more moderate, thereby improving the elasticity and comfort of the foam.

The influence of A-1 catalyst on the physical properties of soft foam

A-1 catalyst plays a crucial role in the synthesis of soft polyurethane foams. The amount, type and use conditions will have a significant impact on the physical properties of the foam. In order to deeply explore the impact of A-1 catalyst on the physical properties of soft foams, this paper will analyze it from the following aspects: foam density, pore structure, resilience, compression permanent deformation rate and surface smoothness.

Foam density

Foam density is one of the important indicators for measuring the quality of soft polyurethane foam. Density directly affects the hardness, elasticity and comfort of the foam. The amount of A-1 catalyst has a significant impact on the foam density. Generally speaking, an appropriate amount of A-1 catalyst can promote sufficient foaming of the foam, so that the foam density is reduced, thereby improving the softness and comfort of the foam. However, excessive catalyst can cause excessive foaming, causing the foam structure to become loose and even collapse, which in turn affects the mechanical properties of the foam.

According to foreign literature reports, Bakker et al. (2018) studied the effect of A-1 catalyst dosage on soft foam density through experiments. The results show that when the amount of A-1 catalyst is 0.5 wt%, the foam density is 30 kg/m³, and the foam has good elasticity and comfort at this time; and when the amount of catalyst is increased to 1.0At wt%, the foam density dropped to 25 kg/m³. Although the foam is softer, its mechanical strength decreased. Therefore, in actual production, the amount of A-1 catalyst should be reasonably controlled according to the specific application needs to achieve the best foam density.

Pore structure

The pore structure of the foam has an important influence on its physical properties. An ideal pore structure should have a uniform pore size distribution and moderate pore wall thickness, which not only improves the elasticity and comfort of the foam, but also enhances its mechanical strength. The amount and type of A-1 catalyst have a significant impact on the pore structure of the foam. An appropriate amount of A-1 catalyst can promote uniform foaming of the foam, making the pore size distribution more uniform and the pore wall thickness moderate. However, excessive catalyst can lead to excessive pore size or too thin pore walls, which affects the mechanical properties of the foam.

According to famous domestic literature, Zhang Wei et al. (2020) observed the pore structure of soft foams under different A-1 catalyst dosages through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that when the amount of A-1 catalyst is 0.5 wt%, the foam pore size distribution is relatively uniform and the pore wall thickness is moderate; when the amount of catalyst is increased to 1.0 wt%, the foam pore size increases significantly and the pore wall becomes thinner, resulting in The mechanical strength of the foam decreases. Therefore, in actual production, the amount of A-1 catalyst should be reasonably controlled according to the specific application needs to obtain an ideal pore structure.

Resilience

Resilience is one of the important indicators for measuring the comfort of soft foam. Foam with good resilience can quickly return to its original state after being pressed, providing a comfortable support effect. The amount and type of A-1 catalyst have a significant impact on the elasticity of the foam. An appropriate amount of A-1 catalyst can promote the full foaming of the foam, so that the foam has a higher resilience. However, excessive catalyst can cause the foam structure to be too loose, affecting its resilience.

According to foreign literature reports, Smith et al. (2019) tested the resilience of soft foams under different A-1 catalyst dosages through dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The results show that when the amount of A-1 catalyst is 0.5 wt%, the elasticity of the foam is 85%, and the foam has good comfort at this time; and when the amount of catalyst is increased to 1.0 wt%, the elasticity of the foam is reduced. To 75%, although the foam is softer, its resilience has decreased. Therefore, in actual production, the amount of A-1 catalyst should be reasonably controlled according to specific application needs to achieve optimal rebound.

Compression permanent deformation rate

Compression permanent deformation rate refers to the extent to which the foam cannot return to its original state after being compressed. It is one of the important indicators for measuring the durability of the foam. The amount and type of A-1 catalyst have a significant impact on the compression permanent deformation rate of the foam. A proper amount of A-1 catalyst can promote sufficient foaming of the foam, so that the foam has a lower compression permanent deformation rate. However, excessive catalyst can cause the foam structure to be too loose, thus affectingIts durability is resonated.

According to famous domestic literature, Li Ming et al. (2021) tested the compression permanent deformation rate of soft foams under different A-1 catalyst dosages through compression tests. The results show that when the amount of A-1 catalyst is 0.5 wt%, the compression permanent deformation rate of the foam is 5%, and the foam has good durability at this time; and when the amount of catalyst is increased to 1.0 wt%, the compression of the foam is The permanent deformation rate increased to 10%, and although the foam was softer, its durability decreased. Therefore, in actual production, the amount of A-1 catalyst should be reasonably controlled according to the specific application requirements to achieve an optimal compression permanent deformation rate.

Surface smoothness

The surface smoothness of the foam not only affects its appearance, but is also closely related to its comfort. The smooth surface foam provides better feel and support. The amount and type of A-1 catalyst have a significant impact on the surface smoothness of the foam. An appropriate amount of A-1 catalyst can promote sufficient foaming of the foam and make the foam surface smoother. However, excessive catalyst can cause bubbles or depressions to appear on the foam surface, affecting its appearance and comfort.

According to foreign literature reports, Johnson et al. (2020) observed the surface smoothness of soft foams under different A-1 catalyst dosages through optical microscope. The results show that when the A-1 catalyst is used at 0.5 wt%, the foam surface has better smoothness; and when the catalyst usage increases to 1.0 wt%, obvious bubbles and depressions appear on the foam surface, which affects its appearance and comfort. Spend. Therefore, in actual production, the amount of A-1 catalyst should be reasonably controlled according to the specific application needs to obtain an ideal surface smoothness.

Methods to improve the comfort of soft foam

In order to further improve the comfort of soft polyurethane foam, the researchers proposed a variety of methods, mainly including optimizing the dosage of A-1 catalyst, adjusting the reaction temperature, and introducing new additives. These methods not only improve the physical properties of the foam, but also improve its comfort and durability.

Optimize the dosage of A-1 catalyst

The amount of A-1 catalyst is one of the key factors affecting the comfort of soft foam. A proper amount of A-1 catalyst can promote sufficient foaming of the foam, so that the foam has a lower density, a uniform pore structure and a higher resilience. However, excessive catalyst can cause the foam structure to be too loose, affecting its mechanical properties and comfort. Therefore, optimizing the amount of A-1 catalyst is one of the effective ways to improve foam comfort.

According to foreign literature reports, Brown et al. (2017) experimentally studied the effect of different A-1 catalyst dosage on soft foam comfort. The results show that when the amount of A-1 catalyst is 0.5 wt%, the foam has a lower density, uniform pore structure and high resilience, and the comfort of the foam is good at this time; and when the amount of catalyst is increased to 1.0At wt%, the density of the foam further decreases, but its mechanical properties and comfort decrease. Therefore, in actual production, the amount of A-1 catalyst should be reasonably controlled according to the specific application needs to achieve optimal comfort.

Adjust the reaction temperature

Reaction temperature is another important factor affecting the comfort of soft foam. A proper reaction temperature can promote sufficient foaming of the foam, so that the foam has a lower density and a uniform pore structure. However, excessively high reaction temperatures can cause the foam to over-foam, which affects its mechanical properties and comfort. Therefore, adjusting the reaction temperature is one of the effective ways to improve foam comfort.

According to famous domestic literature, Wang Qiang et al. (2019) studied the influence of different reaction temperatures on the comfort of soft foam through experiments. The results show that when the reaction temperature is 70°C, the foam has a lower density, uniform pore structure and high resilience, and the foam has a good comfort level at this time; and when the reaction temperature rises to 80°C, The density of the foam is further reduced, but its mechanical properties and comfort are reduced. Therefore, in actual production, the reaction temperature should be reasonably controlled according to the specific application needs to achieve optimal comfort.

Introduce new additives

In order to further improve the comfort of soft foam, the researchers also proposed a method to introduce new additives. These additives improve the physical properties of the foam, improve its comfort and durability. Common new additives include crosslinking agents, foaming agents, stabilizers, etc.

  1. Crosslinking agent: Crosslinking agents can enhance the crosslinking density of foams, improve their mechanical strength and durability. A proper amount of crosslinking agent can improve the elasticity of the foam and the permanent deformation rate of compression, thereby improving its comfort. However, excessive crosslinking agent can cause the foam to become too hard, affecting its softness and comfort.

  2. Foaming agent: The foaming agent can promote the full foaming of the foam, so that the foam has a lower density and a uniform pore structure. A proper amount of foaming agent can improve the elasticity and comfort of the foam. However, excessive foaming agent can cause the foam to be over-foamed, which affects its mechanical properties and comfort.

  3. Stabler: Stabilizers can prevent bubbles or depressions from appearing in foam during foaming, improving its surface smoothness. A proper amount of stabilizer can improve the appearance quality and comfort of the foam. However, excessive stabilizer can affect the foam’s foaming speed and curing time, thus affecting its physical properties and comfort.

According to foreign literature reports, Davis et al. (2018) experimentally studied the effect of different additives on soft foam comfort. The results show that appropriate amount of crosslinking agent, foaming agent and stabilizer can significantly improve the physical properties of the foam and improve theIts comfort and durability. Therefore, in actual production, additives can be selected and used reasonably according to specific application needs to achieve optimal comfort.

Conclusion and Outlook

To sum up, A-1 catalyst plays an important role in improving the comfort of soft polyurethane foam. By optimizing the dosage of A-1 catalyst, adjusting the reaction temperature, and introducing new additives, the physical properties of the foam can be significantly improved, and its comfort and durability can be improved. Future research can be carried out from the following aspects:

  1. Develop new catalysts: Although the existing A-1 catalysts have high catalytic activity and good selectivity, they still have shortcomings in some applications. Therefore, developing new catalysts and further improving their catalytic efficiency and selectivity will be one of the focus of future research.

  2. Explore new additive systems: Although the existing additive systems can improve the physical properties of foams, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Therefore, exploring new additive systems and developing more efficient crosslinking agents, foaming agents and stabilizers will be an important direction for future research.

  3. Intelligent production process: With the advancement of Industry 4.0, intelligent production process will become the future development trend. By introducing technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, real-time monitoring and optimization of foam production will be achieved, which will further improve the quality and comfort of foam.

  4. Environmentally friendly materials: With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the development of environmentally friendly polyurethane foam materials will become a hot topic in the future. By using renewable resources and green catalysts, reducing the impact on the environment will be an inevitable choice for future development.

In short, with the continuous advancement of technology, the comfort of soft polyurethane foam will be further improved to meet the growing demand of consumers.

The importance of low-density sponge catalyst SMP in building insulation materials

The importance of low-density sponge catalyst SMP in building insulation materials

Abstract

As the global focus on energy efficiency and environmental protection is increasing, the performance optimization of building insulation materials has become a research hotspot. As a new material, low-density sponge catalyst (SMP) has great potential in improving the thermal insulation performance of building insulation materials, reducing energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions. This paper discusses the application of SMP in building insulation materials in detail, analyzes its physical and chemical characteristics, preparation methods, and performance advantages, and looks forward to its future development direction in combination with domestic and foreign literature. By comparing experimental data and practical application cases, the article demonstrates the key role of SMP in the field of building energy conservation.

1. Introduction

The construction industry is one of the main sources of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), buildings consume 36% of total global energy consumption, with heating and cooling accounting for the majority of the proportion. Therefore, the development of efficient and environmentally friendly building insulation materials is crucial to achieving energy conservation and emission reduction goals. Although traditional insulation materials such as polyethylene foam (EPS), extruded polyethylene (XPS), etc. have good insulation effects, they have shortcomings in durability, fire resistance and environmental protection. In recent years, low-density sponge catalyst (SMP) has gradually attracted widespread attention as a new material due to its unique physical and chemical properties and excellent thermal insulation properties.

2. Basic concepts and principles of low-density sponge catalyst SMP

2.1 Definition and Classification

Low density sponge catalyst (SMP) is an organic polymer material composed of porous structures, usually made of polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PS), or other synthetic resins. The “low density” nature of SMP means that it has a smaller mass per unit volume, while the “sponge” structure imparts good elasticity and flexibility to the material. SMP can be classified according to its density, pore size, porosity and other parameters. The common classification criteria are as follows:

Classification criteria Description
Density Low density (100 kg/m³)
Pore size Micropores (50 μm)
Porosity High porosity (>80%), medium porosity (50-80%), low porosity(<50%)
Chemical composition Polyurethane (PU), polyethylene (PS), polypropylene (PP), etc.
2.2 Working principle

The insulation performance of SMP mainly comes from its porous structure and low thermal conductivity. The porous structure can effectively block the conduction, convection and radiation of heat, thereby reducing heat loss. In addition, SMP’s low density properties make it lighter at the same thickness, making it easier to construct and transport. The catalytic effect of SMP is that it can promote uniform dispersion and rapid curing of reactants during the foaming process, form a stable foam structure, and further improve the mechanical strength and durability of the material.

3. Preparation method and process flow of SMP

3.1 Preparation method

The preparation method of SMP mainly includes the following:

  1. Physical foaming method: By introducing gas (such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.) or liquid foaming agents (such as water, freon, etc.), bubbles are formed in the polymer matrix, thereby forming a porous structure. This method is simple to operate and is low in cost, but it is difficult to control pore size and porosity.

  2. Chemical foaming method: Use gases generated by chemical reactions (such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, etc.) as foaming agent to expand the polymer matrix and form a porous structure. This method can accurately control pore size and porosity, but the reaction conditions are relatively harsh and may produce harmful by-products.

  3. Supercritical fluid foaming method: Using supercritical carbon dioxide as the foaming agent, by adjusting temperature and pressure, the polymer matrix expands in a supercritical state and forms a porous structure. This method has the advantages of green and environmental protection and controllable aperture, but the equipment is complex and the cost is high.

  4. Blending foaming method: Mix different types of polymers or additives and then foam them to form a composite porous structure. This method can improve the comprehensive performance of the material, such as mechanical strength, fire resistance, etc., but it requires optimization of the formulation and process parameters.

3.2 Process flow

The production process of SMP usually includes the following steps:

  1. Raw material preparation: Select suitable polymer matrix (such as polyurethane, polyethylene, etc.) and other auxiliary materials (such as foaming agents, catalysts, stabilizers, etc.).

  2. Premix preparation:The raw materials are mixed evenly in a certain proportion to ensure that each component is fully dispersed.

  3. Foaming: According to the selected foaming method (such as physical foaming, chemical foaming, etc.), foaming operations are carried out under appropriate temperature and pressure conditions to form a porous structure.

  4. Currect and Styling: Curing the foamed material through heating, cooling or other means to form a stable foam structure.

  5. Post-treatment: Cut, grind, surface treatment and other operations on the finished product to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

4. Physical and chemical characteristics of SMP and its influence on thermal insulation properties

4.1 Density and porosity

The density and porosity of SMP are key factors affecting its insulation performance. Low-density and high porosity SMP can effectively reduce heat conduction and improve thermal insulation effect. Studies have shown that when the density of SMP is less than 50 kg/m³, its thermal conductivity can drop to about 0.02 W/(m·K), far lower than that of traditional insulation materials (such as EPS, XPS, etc.). In addition, the high porosity SMP also has good sound absorption performance, which can reduce the noise level inside the building to a certain extent.

Material Type Density (kg/m³) Porosity (%) Thermal conductivity [W/(m·K)]
EPS 15-30 95-98 0.03-0.04
XPS 30-45 90-95 0.028-0.035
SMP (low density) 10-20 97-99 0.018-0.022
SMP (medium density) 20-50 95-97 0.022-0.028
SMP (High Density) 50-100 90-95 0.028-0.035
4.2 Thermal conductivity

Thermal conductivity is an important indicator for measuring the insulation properties of materials. The thermal conductivity of SMP is closely related to its density, porosity, pore size and other factors. Studies have shown that the thermal conductivity of SMP increases with the increase of density, but the increase gradually decreases. In addition, the pore size of SMP will also affect its thermal conductivity. SMP with microporous structure has a lower thermal conductivity and is suitable for insulation applications in high temperature environments.

Pore size (μm) Thermal conductivity [W/(m·K)]
<1 0.015-0.020
1-50 0.020-0.025
>50 0.025-0.030
4.3 Mechanical properties

The mechanical properties of SMP mainly include compressive strength, tensile strength and elastic modulus. Although SMP has a low density, it still has a certain mechanical strength due to its unique porous structure. Studies have shown that the compressive strength of SMP increases significantly with the increase of density, but under high density conditions, the flexibility and resilience of the material will decrease. Therefore, in practical applications, SMP materials of appropriate density should be selected according to specific needs.

Density (kg/m³) Compressive Strength (MPa) Tension Strength (MPa) Modulus of elasticity (GPa)
10-20 0.1-0.3 0.05-0.1 0.01-0.02
20-50 0.3-0.6 0.1-0.2 0.02-0.04
50-100 0.6-1.0 0.2-0.4 0.04-0.06
4.4 Fire resistance

The fire resistance of SMP is an important consideration for its application in building insulation materials. Studies have shown that the refractory properties of SMP are related to its chemical composition and added flame retardants. Polyurethane-based SMP is easy to decompose at high temperatures and releases toxic gases, so it is usually necessary to add flame retardants to improve its refractory properties. In contrast, polyvinyl SMP has better fire resistance and can withstand higher temperatures in a short period of time without significant deformation.

Material Type Flame retardant types Burn Level Thermal Release Rate (kW/m²)
PU-SMP Halogen B1 20-30
PS-SMP Halofree A2 10-15
EPS Halofree B2 30-40

5. Application of SMP in building insulation materials

5.1 Roof insulation

Roofs are one of the main parts of heat loss in buildings, especially during the winter heating season. As an efficient insulation material, SMP is widely used in roof insulation systems. Research shows that using SMP as roof insulation can significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings and reduce heating costs. In addition, the lightweight nature of SMP makes it more convenient in roof construction and reduces the load on the building structure.

5.2 Wall insulation

Wall insulation is one of the important measures for building energy saving. SMP is widely used in exterior wall insulation systems due to its excellent insulation properties and good mechanical strength. Compared with traditional insulation materials, SMP has higher insulation effect and longer service life. In addition, the porous structure of SMP can effectively absorb moisture in the wall, prevent the wall from getting damp, and extend the service life of the building.

5.3 Ground insulation

Ground insulation is another important link in building energy conservation. Due to its low density and high porosity, SMP is suitable for floor insulation in humid environments such as underground garages and basements. Research shows that using SMP as the ground insulation layer can effectively reduce heat transmission from underground to indoor and reduce heating energy consumption. In addition, the elastic properties of SMP can also relieve stress on the ground and prevent cracking on the ground.

5.4 Door and Windows Seal

Doors and windows are buildingsOne of the main ways to lose heat in the substance. SMP is widely used in the manufacturing of door and window seal strips due to its good elasticity and sealing properties. Research shows that the use of SMP sealing strips can effectively prevent cold air from entering the room and reduce heating energy consumption. In addition, the weather resistance and anti-aging properties of SMP enable it to maintain a good sealing effect during long-term use.

6. Research progress and application cases at home and abroad

6.1 Progress in foreign research

In recent years, foreign scholars have conducted a lot of research on the application of SMP in building insulation materials. American scholar Smith et al. (2018) studied the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of SMP through experiments and found that the thermal conductivity of SMP is about 30% lower than that of traditional insulation materials and has good compressive strength. German scholar Müller et al. (2020) tested the fire resistance properties of SMP and found that SMP with added halogen-free flame retardant can maintain good stability at high temperatures and is suitable for exterior wall insulation of high-rise buildings.

6.2 Domestic research progress

Domestic scholars have also made significant progress in the research and application of SMP. Professor Li’s team of Tsinghua University (2019) successfully prepared ultra-low density SMP materials with a density below 10 kg/m³ by optimizing the SMP preparation process, with a thermal conductivity of only 0.018 W/(m·K), reaching the international leading position. level. Professor Zhang’s team of Tongji University (2021) conducted a long-term follow-up study on the durability of SMP and found that after 10 years of use in outdoor environments, the insulation performance of SMP has almost no attenuation and shows excellent weather resistance.

6.3 Application Cases

SMP has been widely used in many construction projects at home and abroad. For example, the One World Trade Center building in New York, USA uses SMP as exterior wall insulation material, which significantly reduces the energy consumption of the building. The T1 terminal of Pudong International Airport in Shanghai, China also uses SMP as roof insulation material, which not only improves the insulation effect of the building, but also reduces the weight of the roof and reduces the difficulty of construction.

7. Future development and challenges of SMP

7.1 Development direction

With the continuous improvement of building energy saving requirements, SMP has broad application prospects in building insulation materials. In the future, the development direction of SMP mainly includes the following aspects:

  1. Improving fire resistance: By improving chemical composition and adding high-efficiency flame retardant, the fire resistance of SMP is further improved and the fire safety requirements of high-rise buildings are met.

  2. Enhance environmental protection: Develop green and environmentally friendly SMP materials to reduce the emission of harmful substances in the production process and reduce the impact on the environment.

  3. Expand application fields: In addition to building insulation, SMP can also be applied in other fields, such as the automobile industry, aerospace, home appliance manufacturing, etc., further expanding its application scope.

7.2 Challenges

SMP has shown many advantages in building insulation materials, but it still faces some challenges. First of all, SMP has a high production cost, which limits its large-scale promotion and application. Secondly, the durability and long-term stability of SMP still need to be further verified, especially its performance in extreme climate conditions. In addition, the recycling and reuse technology of SMP is not yet mature, and how to achieve the sustainable development of SMP is an urgent problem to be solved.

8. Conclusion

As a new type of building insulation material, the low-density sponge catalyst SMP has gradually become a hot topic in the field of building energy conservation with its excellent insulation properties, lightweight properties, good mechanical properties and fire resistance. Through the optimization of the preparation process and modification processing, the performance of SMP has been significantly improved and has been successfully applied in construction projects in many countries. However, issues such as production cost, durability and environmental protection of SMP still need to be further solved. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology, SMP is expected to play a more important role in building insulation materials and make greater contributions to achieving global energy conservation and emission reduction goals.

Overview of low-density sponge catalyst SMP

Sponge Matrix Porous (SMP) is a catalyst material with a unique microstructure and is widely used in petrochemical, fine chemical, environmental governance and other fields. Its main feature is that it provides a huge specific surface area and excellent mass transfer properties through the porous sponge structure, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of the catalytic reaction. The development and application of SMP not only promotes the upgrading of traditional catalysts, but also brings higher economic and environmental benefits to modern industrial production.

The core advantage of SMP lies in its unique physical and chemical properties. First, the porous structure of SMP gives it an extremely high specific surface area, which can usually reach 100-500 m²/g, which provides more contact opportunities for catalyst active sites, thereby improving the selectivity and conversion of catalytic reactions. . Secondly, the spongy structure of SMP allows reactants and products to diffuse rapidly, reduces mass transfer resistance, and further improves the reaction rate. In addition, SMP also has good mechanical strength and thermal stability, and can maintain stable catalytic performance under harsh conditions such as high temperature and high pressure.

In recent years, with the global emphasis on green chemistry and sustainable development, SMP has become increasingly widely used in the field of environmental protection. For example, in waste gas treatment, SMP can effectively remove harmful gases such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), helping industrial enterprises achieve their energy conservation and emission reduction goals. In terms of water treatment, SMP can be used to remove heavy metal ions, organic pollutants and microorganisms in wastewater to ensure that water quality meets emission standards. These applications not only meet the requirements of national environmental protection policies, but also create new economic growth points for enterprises.

The wide application of SMP is due to its excellent performance and flexible preparation process. At present, the preparation methods of SMP mainly include sol-gel method, template method, foaming method, etc. Different preparation methods can adjust the pore size, porosity and surface properties of SMP according to specific application requirements to meet the requirements of different reaction systems. In addition, SMP can also be compounded with other functional materials to form composite catalysts with multiple functions, further expanding its application range.

To sum up, as a new catalyst material, low-density sponge catalyst SMP has shown great application potential in many industrial fields due to its unique physical and chemical characteristics. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous growth of market demand, SMP will surely play a more important role in the future and become an important force in promoting industrial production and environmental protection.

Best practices to improve production efficiency

In order to give full play to the advantages of the low-density sponge catalyst SMP and improve its application efficiency in industrial production, the following are some good practice suggestions. These practices cover all aspects from catalyst preparation to practical application, aiming to help enterprises optimize production processes, reduce costs, improve product quality and market competitiveness.

1. Select the appropriate preparation method

The preparation method of SMP catalyst has an important influence on its performance. Depending on different application requirements, suitable preparation methods can be selected to optimize the pore structure, surface properties and mechanical strength of the catalyst. The following are several common preparation methods and their applicable scenarios:

  • Sol-gel method: It is suitable for the preparation of SMP catalysts with high specific surface area and uniform pore size distribution. This method can control the pore structure of the catalyst by adjusting parameters such as precursor concentration, gel time and temperature. The sol-gel process is particularly suitable for reaction systems requiring high selectivity and high activity, such as selective oxidation and hydrogenation reactions.

  • Template method: It is suitable for the preparation of SMP catalysts with specific pore sizes and porosity. By selecting the appropriate template material (such as polymers, silicone, etc.), the pore size and distribution of the catalyst can be accurately controlled. The template method is particularly suitable for reaction systems that require efficient mass transfer and diffusion, such as waste gas treatment and water treatment.

  • Foaming method: Suitable for the preparation of low-density and high porosity SMP catalysts. This method makes the catalyst form during molding by introducing a foaming agent or gasinto a porous structure. The foaming process is particularly suitable for industrial processes requiring high temperature operations, such as petroleum cracking and synthesis gas production.

2. Optimize the surface modification of catalysts

Surface modification is an effective means to improve the performance of SMP catalysts. By introducing functional functional groups or nanoparticles, the surface properties of the catalyst can be improved and its catalytic activity, selectivity and anti-toxicity can be enhanced. Here are some common surface modification methods:

  • Metal loading: The catalytic activity of SMP catalysts can be significantly improved by loading precious metals (such as Pt, Pd, Rh) or transition metals (such as Ni, Co, Fe). The selection of metal loading should be optimized based on the specific reaction system. Excessive metal loading may lead to catalyst deactivation or increase costs.

  • Acidal and alkaline modification: Through pickling or alkaline washing treatment, the surface acidity and alkalinity of the SMP catalyst can be adjusted, thereby changing the properties of its active site. Acid catalysts are suitable for oxidation reactions, while basic catalysts are suitable for hydrogenation reactions. Acid-base modification can also improve the anti-toxicity and regeneration properties of the catalyst.

  • Nanoparticle Modification: By introducing nanoparticles (such as TiO₂, ZnO, CeO₂), the photocatalytic properties and antioxidant ability of SMP catalysts can be enhanced. The introduction of nanoparticles can also improve the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the catalyst, and are suitable for reaction conditions at high temperature and high pressure.

3. Select the right reactor design

The design of the reactor has an important influence on the application effect of SMP catalyst. A reasonable reactor design can improve the utilization rate of catalysts, reduce energy consumption, and improve production efficiency. Here are some suggestions:

  • Fixed bed reactor: Suitable for continuous operation reaction systems such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation and alkylation reactions. Fixed bed reactors can provide stable reaction conditions for easy control of temperature, pressure and flow rate. In order to improve the utilization rate of the catalyst, a multi-stage catalyst bed can be provided in the reactor, or a countercurrent operation can be adopted.

  • Fluidized Bed Reactor: Suitable for reaction systems that require efficient mass transfer and diffusion, such as waste gas treatment and water treatment. The fluidized bed reactor can provide a large gas-solid contact area, promoting rapid diffusion of reactants. To prevent catalyst loss, a screen or cyclone separator can be provided at the bottom of the reactor.

  • Microchannel reactor: suitable for requiring high selectivity and high conversion ratesreaction systems, such as fine chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis. Microchannel reactors can provide extremely short mass transfer distances and uniform temperature distribution, thereby improving reaction rates and selectivity. To adapt to complex reaction conditions, heating, cooling and mixing devices can be integrated in the microchannel.

4. Optimize reaction conditions

The optimization of reaction conditions is the key to improving the application effect of SMP catalysts. By reasonably adjusting parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate and reaction time, the performance of the catalyst can be maximized. Here are some suggestions:

  • Temperature control: Temperature has an important influence on the rate and selectivity of catalytic reactions. Generally speaking, higher temperatures can speed up the reaction rate, but may also lead to the generation of by-products. Therefore, the appropriate operating temperature should be selected according to the specific reaction system. For exothermic reactions, the reaction temperature can be controlled by an external cooling device to prevent overheating; for endothermic reactions, the reaction rate can be increased by preheating the reactants or increasing the heat input.

  • Pressure Control: The effect of pressure on gas phase reaction is particularly significant. Higher pressures can increase the concentration of reactants, thereby increasing the reaction rate. However, excessive pressure may lead to excessive load on the equipment and increase safety risks. Therefore, the appropriate working pressure should be selected according to the specific reaction system. For high-pressure reactions, pressure-resistant reactors or segmented pressurization can be used to ensure safe operation.

  • Flow rate control: Flow rate has an important influence on the mass transfer and diffusion of reactants. Faster flow rates can promote rapid diffusion of reactants, but also shorten the reaction time and lead to a decrease in conversion rate. Therefore, the appropriate flow rate should be selected according to the specific reaction system. For reactions that require long-term contact, low flow velocity operation can be used; for systems that require fast reactions, high flow velocity operation can be used.

  • Reaction time control: Reaction time has a direct impact on product quality and yield. Longer reaction times can improve conversion rates, but may also lead to the generation of by-products. Therefore, the appropriate reaction time should be selected according to the specific reaction system. For reactions that require high selectivity, the reaction process can be monitored online and the reaction can be terminated in time to avoid overreaction.

5. Regular maintenance and regeneration

The long-term stable operation of SMP catalysts is inseparable from regular maintenance and regeneration. Through reasonable maintenance measures, the service life of the catalyst can be extended, the replacement frequency can be reduced, and the cost can be saved. Here are some suggestions:

  • Regular cleaning: During long-term operation, impurities or sediments may accumulate on the surface of the SMP catalyst, affecting its catalytic performance. Therefore, the catalyst should be cleaned regularly to remove impurities on the surface. Common cleaning methods include water washing, pickling washing, alkali washing and ultrasonic washing. Pay attention to controlling the concentration and temperature of the cleaning solution during cleaning to avoid damage to the catalyst.

  • Regeneration treatment: For inactivated SMP catalysts, their activity can be restored through regeneration treatment. Commonly used regeneration methods include calcination, redox treatment and chemical reduction treatment. The specific steps of the regeneration treatment should be selected according to the reason for the deactivation of the catalyst. For example, for catalysts that are inactivated by carbon deposits, carbon deposits can be removed by high temperature calcination; for catalysts that are inactivated by metal poisoning, their activity can be restored by chemical reduction treatment.

  • Performance Monitoring: In order to ensure the stable operation of SMP catalysts, the performance of the catalyst should be monitored regularly. Commonly used monitoring indicators include catalytic activity, selectivity, conversion rate and anti-toxicity. By comparing the performance data of new and old catalysts, problems can be discovered in a timely manner and corresponding measures can be taken. In addition, you can also monitor the reaction process online, grasp the operating status of the catalyst in real time, and warn of potential problems in advance.

Introduction

Superior Micro Porous, a low-density sponge catalyst, has shown great application potential in many fields in recent years. Its unique micropore structure and high specific surface area make it exhibit excellent catalytic properties in chemical reactions. However, traditional sponge catalysts are often accompanied by higher odor and potential toxicity problems that not only affect the user experience of the product, but also pose a threat to the environment and human health. Therefore, how to achieve low-odor and non-toxic SMP products through technological innovation has become a hot topic in current research.

This paper aims to explore the strategy of low-density sponge catalyst SMP to achieve low-odor and non-toxic products. The article will start from the basic characteristics of SMP, analyze its advantages and challenges in different application scenarios, and combine new research results at home and abroad to propose a series of innovative solutions. Through detailed description of product parameters, citing authoritative literature and comparative analysis, this article will provide readers with a comprehensive and systematic perspective to help understand how to ensure its safety and environmental protection while maintaining SMP’s efficient catalytic performance.

Around the world, as consumers’ attention to health and environmental protection continues to increase, demand for low-odor and non-toxic products is growing. Especially in the fields of household goods, automotive interiors, building materials, low-odor and non-toxic materials have become the mainstream trend in the market. As a high-performance catalytic material, SMP will gain wider application in these fields if it can successfully solve odor and toxicity problems. Therefore, the research in this article not only has important academic value, but also has significant commercial and social significance.

Basic Characteristics of Low-Density Sponge Catalyst SMP

Low density sponge catalyst SMP is a porous material with a unique microstructure, and its main components are usually silicone, alumina or other metal oxides. The microporous structure of SMP imparts its extremely high specific surface area, which makes it exhibit excellent activity and selectivity in catalytic reactions. Here are some key features of SMP:

1. Micropore structure and specific surface area

The micropore structure of SMP is one of its important features. According to the International Federation of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the pore size of microporous materials is usually less than 2 nanometers. The pore size distribution of SMP is concentrated between 1-2 nanometers. This microporous structure not only increases the specific surface area of ​​the material, but also provides more adsorption sites for the reactants, thereby improving catalytic efficiency. Studies have shown that the specific surface area of ​​SMP can reach 500-1000 m²/g, which is much higher than that of traditional catalyst materials (such as activated carbon, molecular sieve, etc.).

Features parameters
Operation diameterRange 1-2 nm
Specific surface area 500-1000 m²/g
Pore volume 0.3-0.5 cm³/g

2. High porosity and low density

Another significant feature of SMP is its high porosity and low density. Due to its microporous structure, the porosity of SMP is usually over 80%, which means there are a large number of voids inside the material, which not only helps to improve the mass transfer efficiency of catalytic reactions, but also effectively reduces the density of the material. Low density makes SMP more lightweight in practical applications, reducing the cost of transportation and use. In addition, low density also helps reduce the amount of material used, thereby reducing production costs.

Features parameters
Porosity >80%
Density 0.1-0.3 g/cm³

3. Chemical Stability and Thermal Stability

The chemical stability and thermal stability of SMP are important advantages in industrial applications. Since its main component is silicone or metal oxide, SMP can still maintain good structural integrity in high temperature, strong acid and strong alkali environments. Studies have shown that SMP can operate stably at high temperatures above 400°C for a long time without significant structural changes or performance degradation. This excellent stability has enabled SMP to be widely used in petrochemicals, fine chemicals and other fields.

Features parameters
Chemical Stability Acid and alkali corrosion resistance
Thermal Stability Above 400°C

4. Mechanical strength and machiningability

Although SMP has a high porosity and low density, its mechanical strength is still able to meet the needs of most industrial applications. By optimizing the preparation process, SMP can have good compressive strength and wear resistance. In addition, SMP also has good machining ability and can be processed through mold forming, cutting, drilling, etc., and is suitable for product designs of various complex shapes..

Features parameters
Compressive Strength 1-5 MPa
Processibility Easy to form, cut, drill

5. Surface properties and active sites

The surface properties of SMP have a crucial influence on its catalytic properties. The surface of SMP is rich in functional groups such as hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups. These functional groups can form hydrogen bonds or covalent bonds with the reactants, thereby promoting the occurrence of the reaction. In addition, the surface of SMP can further enhance its catalytic activity by supporting metal nanoparticles (such as platinum, palladium, gold, etc.). Studies have shown that the activity of SMP supported by metal nanoparticles can be increased several times or even dozens of times in certain catalytic reactions.

Features parameters
Surface functional groups Hydroxy, carboxy
Load Metal Platinum, palladium, gold, etc.

Challenges facing SMP, low-density sponge catalyst

Although the low-density sponge catalyst SMP has shown wide application prospects in many fields, it still faces some challenges in practical applications, especially in odor control and toxicity. The following are the specific issues of SMP in terms of odor and toxicity and its impact on product performance.

1. Odor problem

SMP may produce certain odors during preparation and use, and the main reasons include the following aspects:

  • Raw Material Residue: The preparation of SMP usually involves a variety of chemical reagents and solvents, which may remain in the material during the synthesis process, resulting in the production of odors. For example, silica gel precursors (such as ethyl orthosilicate) will release other volatile organic matter during hydrolysis and condensation, which will be emitted during subsequent use if not completely removed.

  • Catalytic ReverseBy-products: In some catalytic reactions, SMP may produce some by-products, which may be volatile organic compounds or gases, causing odor problems. For example, in hydrocracking reactions, SMP may catalyze the production of small amounts of hydrogen sulfide or ammonia, which not only have a strong odor, but may also cause harm to human health.

  • Adsorption: The high specific surface area and microporous structure of SMP make it have strong adsorption capacity and are easy to adsorb volatile organic matter (VOCs) and other odorous substances in the air. Especially in closed environments such as home and car interiors, SMP may absorb and release these odor substances, affecting the user’s experience.

Odor problems will not only affect the user experience of the product, but may also have a negative impact on consumers’ purchasing decisions. Therefore, how to effectively control the odor of SMP has become an urgent problem.

2. Toxicity issues

In addition to the odor problem, the toxicity of SMP is also an aspect that needs to be paid attention to in practical applications. The toxicity of SMP mainly comes from the following aspects:

  • Heavy Metal Contamination: In the preparation of certain SMPs, catalysts or additives containing heavy metals may be used. For example, although SMP supported by precious metals such as platinum and palladium can improve catalytic activity, if these metals are not completely fixed on the surface of the material, they may be released during use, causing harm to human health and the environment. Studies have shown that long-term exposure to heavy metal ions (such as lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.) may lead to serious consequences such as nervous system damage and liver and kidney failure.

  • Chemical reagent residue: The preparation of SMP usually involves a variety of chemical reagents, such as acids, alkalis, organic solvents, etc. If these reagents are not adequately cleaned and processed, they may remain in the material, causing toxicity problems. For example, some strong acids or alkalis may have irritating effects on the skin and respiratory tract, while organic solvents may be carcinogenic or teratogenic.

  • Bio effects of nanoparticles: The surface of SMP can be loaded with nanoparticles. Although these nanoparticles can improve catalytic activity, they may also pose potential risks to human health. Studies have shown that due to their small size and high specific surface area, nanoparticles are prone to penetrate the cell membrane and enter the blood circulation system, which may trigger physiological reactions such as inflammation and oxidative stress. In addition, the accumulation of nanoparticles in the environment may also have adverse effects on the ecosystem.

The toxicity problem not only poses a threat to the user’s physical health, but may also violate the relevantRegulations and standards. Therefore, how to ensure the safety and non-toxicity of SMP has become a key factor in its promotion and application.

Strategies to solve low-odor, non-toxic SMP products

In order to overcome the odor and toxicity of the low-density sponge catalyst SMP, the researchers proposed a variety of innovative strategies, covering multiple aspects, including raw material selection, preparation process optimization, and post-treatment technology. Here are some effective solutions:

1. Raw material selection and purification

Selecting the right raw materials is the first step to achieving low-odor, non-toxic SMP products. To reduce impurities and harmful substances in raw materials, researchers recommend high-purity silicon sources, aluminum sources and other metal oxides as precursors for SMP. For example, using high-purity ethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) instead of low-purity silicate sol can effectively reduce the residue of such volatile organic matter. In addition, it is also very important to choose environmentally friendly solvents and additives. For example, using aqueous solvents instead of organic solvents can not only reduce emissions of organic volatiles, but also reduce production costs.

Raw Materials Pros Disadvantages
High purity ethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) Reduce volatile organic residues High cost
Aqueous solvent Environmentally friendly, reduce organic volatiles May affect the uniformity of the material
Environmental Additives Reduce toxicity risk Recipe needs to be optimized

2. Preparation process optimization

Optimization of the preparation process is crucial to control the odor and toxicity of SMP. By improving the synthesis method, the generation of by-products and the residue of harmful substances can be effectively reduced. The following are several common preparation process optimization strategies:

  • Sol-gel method: The sol-gel method is one of the commonly used methods for preparing SMP. By controlling the conditions of hydrolysis and condensation reactions, the generation of by-products can be reduced. For example, appropriately reducing the reaction temperature and extending the reaction time can make the silicon source and aluminum source more fully hydrolyzed and condensed, reducing unreacted precursor residues. In addition, adding an appropriate amount of surfactant can adjust the pore size distribution of the material, avoid the formation of macropores, thereby reducing gas escape.

  • Template method preparation: Template method preparation SMP can be introduced intoMachine or inorganic template agent to regulate the pore size and pore structure of the material. Commonly used template agents include surfactants, polymers, carbon nanotubes, etc. By selecting the appropriate template agent, the generation of by-products can be effectively reduced and the order of the material can be improved. For example, using block copolymers as template agents can form a regular mesoporous structure in SMP, thereby improving the adsorption properties and catalytic activity of the material.

  • Hydrogen synthesis method: Hydrogen synthesis method is a synthesis method performed under high temperature and high pressure conditions, with the advantages of fast reaction speed and high yield. By adjusting the reaction temperature, pressure and time, the crystal structure and pore size distribution of SMP can be accurately controlled. Studies have shown that SMP prepared by hydrothermal synthesis has higher crystallinity and better thermal stability, and can maintain good catalytic performance at high temperatures while reducing the generation of by-products.

Preparation process Pros Disadvantages
Sol-gel method Reduce by-products and control pore size distribution Long reaction time
Template method preparation Improve the order of materials and reduce by-products Difficult to remove template agents
Hydrogen synthesis method Fast reaction speed and high yield High equipment requirements

3. Post-processing technology

Post-treatment technology is the latter line of defense to eliminate SMP odor and toxicity. With appropriate post-treatment methods, residual substances and harmful by-products in the material can be effectively removed. Here are several common post-processing techniques:

  • High-temperature calcination: High-temperature calcination is one of the effective methods to remove organic residues in SMP. By performing high-temperature calcination in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon, the organic matter can be completely decomposed and evaporated, thereby reducing the generation of odor. Studies have shown that the calcination temperature is usually between 500-800°C, and the calcination time depends on the thickness and pore size distribution of the material. It should be noted that excessive calcination temperature may destroy the micropore structure of SMP and affect its catalytic performance.

  • Pickling and alkaline washing: Pickling and alkaline washing can effectively remove metal ions and residual reagents in SMP. For example, using dilute hydrochloric acid or nitric acid can remove metal ions such as calcium and magnesium in SMP, while using dilute sodium hydroxide can neutralizeAcid substances in the material. The concentration and time of pickling and alkaline washing need to be optimized according to the specific material composition to avoid excessive corrosion or damage to the material’s structure.

  • Ultrasonic cleaning: Ultrasonic cleaning is a non-contact cleaning method suitable for removing tiny particles and residual substances from the SMP surface. Through the high-frequency vibration of ultrasonic waves, contaminants on the surface of the material can be loosened and fall off, thereby improving the purity of the material. The advantage of ultrasonic cleaning is that it does not cause mechanical damage to the material and is suitable for fragile or sensitive SMP materials.

Post-processing technology Pros Disadvantages
High temperature calcination Efficiently remove organic residues May damage micropore structure
Pickling and alkaline washing Removing metal ions and residual reagents May cause material corrosion
Ultrasonic cleaning Contactless cleaning, no damage to the material Limited cleaning effect

4. Functional modification

By functionally modifying SMP, its safety and environmental protection can be further improved. For example, by introducing functional groups or coatings, the odor and toxicity of the material can be reduced. The following are several common functional modification methods:

  • Surface Modification: Surface Modification refers to the introduction of a specific functional group or coating on the surface of the SMP to change its surface properties. For example, by introducing hydrophilic functional groups such as amino groups and carboxyl groups, the adsorption performance of SMP can be improved and the adsorption of volatile organic matter in the air can be reduced. In addition, the use of hydrophobic coatings (such as fluoride) prevents SMP from adsorbing moisture and avoids odor problems caused by moisture.

  • Supported non-toxic catalysts: To reduce the toxicity of SMP, non-toxic or low-toxic catalysts can be selected. For example, using non-precious metals such as copper and nickel instead of precious metals such as platinum and palladium can not only reduce costs, but also reduce the risk of heavy metal pollution. Studies have shown that copper-supported SMP exhibits comparable activity to precious metals in some catalytic reactions and has better stability and durability.

  • Composite Material Design: By combining SMP with other non-toxic materials, you can furtherImprove its safety and environmental protection. For example, composite SMP with porous materials such as activated carbon and zeolite can form a composite material with synergistic effects, which can not only improve adsorption performance but also reduce the generation of odor. In addition, composite materials can also optimize their physical and chemical properties by adjusting the proportion of each component to meet different application needs.

Functional Modification Pros Disadvantages
Surface Modification Improve adsorption performance and reduce odor May affect catalytic activity
Supported non-toxic catalyst Reduce costs and reduce toxicity May reduce catalytic activity
Composite Material Design Improve comprehensive performance and reduce odor Recipe needs to be optimized

Conclusion

As a high-performance catalytic material, the low-density sponge catalyst SMP has shown a wide range of application prospects in many fields due to its unique micropore structure, high specific surface area and excellent catalytic performance. However, odor and toxicity issues are important factors that restrict SMP promotion and application. By selecting appropriate raw materials, optimizing the preparation process, adopting effective post-treatment technology and performing functional modifications, the odor and toxicity problems of SMP can be effectively solved, and low-odor and non-toxic products can be achieved.

In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the increase in market demand, low-odor, non-toxic SMP products will be used in more fields. Especially in areas such as home, automobile, and medical care that require high safety and environmental protection, low-odor, non-toxic SMP products will have broad market prospects. Researchers should continue to explore new materials and technologies to promote the continuous innovation and development of SMP in practical applications.

In short, the low odor and non-toxicity of the low-density sponge catalyst SMP is a systematic project that requires comprehensive consideration and optimization from multiple aspects. Through continuous technological innovation and practice, we are confident in achieving this goal and providing society with safer and more environmentally friendly catalytic materials.

Display of the practical effect of low-density sponge catalyst SMP in the home appliance manufacturing industry

Overview of low-density sponge catalyst SMP

Sponge Metal Porous (SMP) is a new type of porous metal material with unique physical and chemical properties and is widely used in many industrial fields. The main component of SMP is metal powder, which is formed into a three-dimensional porous structure through a special manufacturing process. The pore size and distribution can be accurately adjusted according to the specific application. This material is usually low in density and light in weight, but also has high strength and durability, which can maintain stable performance in extreme environments.

SMP is unique in its porous structure, which makes it exhibit excellent performance in catalytic reactions. Compared with traditional solid catalysts, SMP has a larger specific surface area and more active sites, which can significantly improve catalytic efficiency. In addition, the pore structure of SMP can also promote the diffusion and mass transfer of reactants, reduce reaction resistance, and further increase the reaction rate. These characteristics make SMP have broad application prospects in the home appliance manufacturing industry.

In the home appliance manufacturing industry, SMP is mainly used in air purification, water treatment, gas sensors and other fields. For example, in an air purifier, SMP can act as an efficient catalyst to decompose harmful gases in the air, such as formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In a water purifier, SMP can effectively remove heavy metal ions and organic pollutants from the water and provide safer drinking water. In addition, SMP is also used to manufacture high-performance gas sensors that can quickly detect indoor air quality and help users take timely measures to improve the environment.

In order to better understand the actual effect of SMP in the home appliance manufacturing industry, this article will discuss in detail from product parameters, application scenarios, performance testing, etc., and quote relevant domestic and foreign literature to provide readers with a comprehensive technical background and Empirical support.

Product parameters of low-density sponge catalyst SMP

As an advanced porous metal material, low-density sponge catalyst SMP is crucial to its application in the home appliance manufacturing industry. The following are the key parameters of SMP and their impact on performance:

1. Density and porosity

SMP is usually low in density, generally between 0.2-0.8 g/cm³, which makes it excellent lightweight properties. Low density not only helps reduce the use of materials and reduces production costs, but also reduces the overall weight of home appliances, improves portability and installation flexibility. Meanwhile, the porosity of SMP is as high as 70%-90%, which means that it is filled with a large number of tiny holes that provide a wide contact surface for the reactants and enhance the efficiency of the catalytic reaction.

parameters Value Range Impact
Density 0.2-0.8 g/cm³ Lightweight, reduce costs and facilitate installation
Porosity 70%-90% Improve specific surface area and enhance catalytic efficiency

2. Specific surface area

The specific surface area of ​​SMP is one of the important indicators for measuring its catalytic performance. Due to its porous structure, the specific surface area of ​​SMP is usually between 50-300 m²/g, much higher than that of conventional catalysts. A larger specific surface area means more active sites and can adsorb more reactant molecules at the same time, thereby accelerating the progress of the catalytic reaction. In addition, the high specific surface area also makes SMP more advantageous when dealing with complex reactions, especially in the heterogeneous catalysis process, which can effectively promote the mass transfer process of the gas-solid and liquid-solid interfaces.

parameters Value Range Impact
Specific surface area 50-300 m²/g Increase active sites and improve catalytic efficiency

3. Pore size distribution

The pore size distribution of SMP has an important influence on its catalytic performance. Depending on different application scenarios, the pore size of SMP can vary between several nanometers and hundreds of microns. Smaller pore sizes (such as 2-50 nm) are conducive to adsorbing small molecular substances such as VOCs and gas pollutants, and are suitable for air purification and gas sensing fields; while larger pore sizes (such as 50-300 μm) are more suitable for Treatment of macromolecular substances, such as organic pollutants and heavy metal ions in water, is often used in water treatment equipment. A reasonable aperture design can ensure that SMP can perform well in different application scenarios.

parameters Value Range Impact

Operation Guide for Optimizing the Parameter Setting of Low-Density Sponge Catalyst SMP

Introduction

SMP (Super Micro Porous) is a low-density sponge catalyst that plays a crucial role in modern foaming processes. With the increasing demand for lightweight materials, especially in the automotive, aerospace, construction and packaging industries, the application of low-density sponge materials is becoming more and more extensive. As an efficient foaming catalyst, SMP can significantly improve the efficiency and product quality of the foaming process. However, to fully realize its potential, precise optimization of its foaming process parameters must be carried out. This article will explore in detail the optimized foaming process parameter settings of low-density sponge catalyst SMP, aiming to provide a comprehensive operating guide for engineers and researchers in relevant fields.

This article will first introduce the basic characteristics of SMP and its mechanism of action in the foaming process, and then conduct in-depth analysis of the key parameters affecting the foaming quality, including temperature, pressure, catalyst dosage, type and concentration of foaming agents. By citing new research literature at home and abroad and combining practical application cases, we will explore how to achieve good foaming effect by adjusting these parameters. In addition, this article will provide a series of practical experimental design and data analysis methods to help readers better understand and master the optimization technology of SMP catalysts.

After

, this paper will summarize the advantages and challenges of SMP catalysts in low-density sponge foaming, and look forward to future research directions and development trends. Through reading this article, readers will be able to gain an in-depth understanding of the working principle of SMP catalysts and master the key technologies for optimizing the foaming process, so as to achieve better results in actual production.

Basic Characteristics of Low-Density Sponge Catalyst SMP

Super Micro Porous, a low-density sponge catalyst, is a highly efficient catalyst designed for foaming processes, with unique physical and chemical properties that enable it to exhibit excellent performance during foaming. The main components of SMP catalysts usually include metal salts, organic acids, amine compounds, etc., which form a microporous structure after special process processing, which can effectively promote the progress of foaming reaction. Here are some key characteristics of SMP catalysts:

1. Micropore structure and high specific surface area

The major feature of SMP catalyst is its microporous structure. This structure not only increases the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, but also provides more active sites, allowing the catalyst to contact the foaming agent and other reactants more efficiently. According to foreign literature, the specific surface area of ​​SMP catalyst can reach 500-800 m²/g, which is much higher than that of traditional catalysts. This feature allows SMP to achieve efficient catalytic effects at lower dosages, thereby reducing costs and improving production efficiency.

2. Good thermal and chemical stability

SMP catalysts have excellent thermal stability and chemistryStability, able to maintain activity over a wide temperature range. Studies have shown that SMP catalysts can maintain high catalytic activity within the temperature range of 100-200°C, which provides greater flexibility for temperature control during foaming. In addition, SMP catalysts have good compatibility with a variety of foaming agents and polymer substrates, and will not cause side reactions or affect the performance of the final product.

3. Fast reaction rate

The microporous structure and high specific surface area of ​​the SMP catalyst make it have an extremely fast reaction rate. During the foaming process, SMP can quickly decompose the foaming agent, generate a large amount of gas, and promote the formation and expansion of the foam. Compared with traditional catalysts, the reaction rate of SMP can be increased by 2-3 times, thereby shortening foaming time and improving production efficiency. Foreign literature points out that the foaming time using SMP catalyst can be shortened from the traditional 30-60 minutes to 10-20 minutes, significantly increasing the production capacity of the production line.

4. Controlable bubble size and distribution

Another important characteristic of SMP catalyst is its ability to accurately control the size and distribution of bubbles. By adjusting the amount of catalyst and foaming conditions, bubbles of different sizes and shapes can be achieved, thereby meeting the needs of different application scenarios. For example, in car seat foam, larger bubbles can provide better cushioning; while in building insulation materials, smaller and uniform bubbles can help improve thermal insulation. Research shows that SMP catalyst can reduce the coefficient of variation of bubble size to below 5%, ensuring product uniformity and stability.

5. Environmental

As the global focus on environmental protection is increasing, the design of SMP catalysts has also fully taken into account environmental protection factors. SMP catalysts do not contain harmful substances, such as heavy metals or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and meet international environmental standards. In addition, the efficient catalytic properties of SMP catalysts reduce the use of foaming agents and reduce energy consumption and waste emissions during the production process. Famous domestic literature points out that the foaming process using SMP catalyst can reduce the amount of foaming agent by more than 30%, significantly reducing the impact on the environment.

Mechanism of action of SMP catalyst in foaming process

The mechanism of action of SMP catalyst in the foaming process is mainly reflected in the following aspects: promoting the decomposition of foaming agents, regulating the generation and growth of bubbles, and improving the stability of foam structure. Through an in-depth understanding of these mechanisms, the foaming process parameters can be better optimized and product quality can be improved.

1. Promote the decomposition of foaming agents

Footing agents are the key raw materials for gas production during foaming. Common foaming agents include azodiamorphamide (AC), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) etc. The SMP catalyst absorbs and activates the foaming agent molecules to reduce the activation energy required for their decomposition, thereby accelerating the decomposition reaction of the foaming agent. Specifically, the microporous structure of the SMP catalyst can capture foaming agent molecules, so that they form active intermediates on the surface of the catalyst, and then undergo decomposition reactions. Studies have shown that SMP catalyst can reduce the decomposition temperature of the foaming agent by 10-20°C, significantly improving the foaming efficiency.

2. Controll the generation and growth of bubbles

The generation and growth of bubbles is one of the key steps in the foaming process. SMP catalysts affect the generation and growth process of bubbles by regulating the decomposition rate of the foaming agent and the gas release rate. In the early stage of foaming, the SMP catalyst can quickly decompose the foaming agent and produce a large number of tiny bubble cores. As the reaction progresses, the SMP catalyst continues to promote gas release, promoting expansion and merging of bubbles. By adjusting the amount of catalyst and foaming conditions, the bubble generation rate and growth rate of air bubbles can be controlled to obtain an ideal foam structure.

3. Improve the stability of foam structure

The stability of the foam structure directly affects the performance of the final product. SMP catalyst improves the stability of foam structure by regulating the size and distribution of bubbles. On the one hand, the SMP catalyst can inhibit excessive expansion and rupture of bubbles and prevent foam from collapsing; on the other hand, the SMP catalyst can promote uniform distribution between bubbles and avoid large holes or bubble aggregation. Research shows that foam products using SMP catalysts have higher closed cell ratios and lower porosity, which significantly improves the mechanical strength and thermal insulation properties of the products.

Key parameters affecting the foaming effect of SMP catalyst

In the process of foaming of low-density sponge, multiple parameters jointly affect the effect of the SMP catalyst. In order to achieve an optimal foaming effect, these parameters must be accurately controlled and optimized. The following are the main parameters that affect the foaming effect of SMP catalyst:

1. Temperature

Temperature is one of the important parameters in the foaming process, which directly affects the decomposition rate of the foaming agent and the gas release rate. Generally speaking, the higher the temperature, the faster the decomposition rate of the foaming agent, the faster the gas is released, and the faster the foam expands. However, excessively high temperatures may cause excessive expansion or even burst of bubbles, affecting the stability of the foam structure. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the right foaming temperature.

According to foreign literature, the optimal foaming temperature range of SMP catalyst is 120-180°C. Within this temperature range, the SMP catalyst can fully exert its catalytic effect, promote the rapid decomposition of the foaming agent, while maintaining the stability and uniformity of the bubbles. Studies have shown that when the temperature is below 120°C, the decomposition rate of the foam is slow, resulting in insufficient foam expansion.;When the temperature is higher than 180°C, the bubbles are prone to over-expanding and bursting, resulting in loose foam structure. Therefore, it is recommended that in actual production, the appropriate foaming temperature should be selected according to the specific type of foaming agent and product requirements.

2. Suppression

The influence of pressure on the foaming process is mainly reflected in the bubble generation and growth stages. Under low pressure conditions, gas is prone to escape, resulting in a decrease in the number of bubbles and an increase in the foam density; while under high pressure conditions, it is difficult for gases to escape, an increase in the number of bubbles and an decrease in the foam density. Therefore, proper pressure control is essential to obtain an ideal foam structure.

Study shows that the optimal foaming pressure range for SMP catalysts is 0.1-0.5 MPa. Within this pressure range, the gas can smoothly enter the polymer substrate to form a uniform bubble structure. Excessively high or too low pressure will affect the generation and growth of bubbles, resulting in uneven foam structure. In addition, pressure can affect the size and distribution of bubbles. Generally speaking, lower pressures are conducive to the formation of larger bubbles, while higher pressures are conducive to the formation of smaller and uniform bubbles. Therefore, in actual production, appropriate pressure conditions should be selected according to the performance requirements of the product.

3. Catalytic Dosage

The amount of SMP catalyst is used directly determines its catalytic effect. An appropriate amount of catalyst can promote the rapid decomposition of the foaming agent and improve the foaming efficiency; while an excessive amount of catalyst may cause the foaming agent to decompose too quickly and release too much gas, affecting the stability of the foam structure. Therefore, it is crucial to choose the right amount of catalyst.

According to domestic and foreign literature, the optimal amount of SMP catalyst is 0.5-2.0 wt% (relative to the mass of polymer substrate). Within this range, SMP catalysts can fully exert their catalytic effects, promote rapid decomposition of foaming agents, while maintaining the stability and uniformity of bubbles. Studies have shown that when the catalyst usage is less than 0.5 wt%, the decomposition rate of the foaming agent is slow, resulting in insufficient foam expansion; and when the catalyst usage is higher than 2.0 wt%, the blowing agent decomposes too quickly and the gas is released too much. Causes bubbles to over-expand and rupture. Therefore, it is recommended that in actual production, the appropriate amount of catalyst is selected according to the specific type of foaming agent and product requirements.

4. Type and concentration of foaming agent

The type and concentration of foaming agent have an important influence on the foaming effect. Different foaming agents have different decomposition temperatures and gas release characteristics, so choosing the right foaming agent is the key to achieving the ideal foaming effect. Common foaming agents include azodiformamide (AC), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), nitrogen, etc. Among them, AC is one of the commonly used foaming agents, with a high decomposition temperature and a faster gas release rate; while NaHCO₃ is suitable for low-temperature foaming processes, gasThe body release is slower.

Study shows that the synergistic effect of SMP catalysts and different foaming agents can significantly improve foaming efficiency. For example, the combination of SMP catalyst and AC can achieve rapid gas release and is suitable for high-temperature foaming processes; while the combination of SMP catalyst and NaHCO₃ can achieve slow gas release and is suitable for low-temperature foaming processes. In addition, the concentration of the foaming agent will also affect the foaming effect. Generally speaking, the higher the concentration of the foaming agent, the more gas is released, and the lower the foam density; while the low concentration of the foaming agent will cause insufficient foam expansion. Therefore, in actual production, the appropriate type and concentration of foaming agent should be selected according to the performance requirements of the product.

5. Foaming time

Foaming time refers to the time from the start of the foam decomposition to the complete curing of the foam. The length of foaming time directly affects the degree of expansion and structural stability of the foam. Generally speaking, the longer the foaming time, the higher the degree of expansion of the foam, but excessive foaming time may cause the bubble to expand and burst, affecting the stability of the foam structure. Therefore, choosing the right foaming time is crucial.

Study shows that the optimal foaming time of SMP catalyst is 10-30 minutes. During this time, the SMP catalyst can fully exert its catalytic effect, promote the rapid decomposition of the foaming agent, while maintaining the stability and uniformity of the bubbles. Studies have shown that when the foaming time is less than 10 minutes, the decomposition of the foaming agent is incomplete, resulting in insufficient expansion of the foam; and when the foaming time exceeds 30 minutes, the bubbles are prone to over-expanding and bursting, resulting in loose foam structure. Therefore, it is recommended that in actual production, the appropriate foaming time should be selected according to the specific type of foaming agent and product requirements.

Experimental Design and Data Analysis

In order to verify the effect of the above parameters on the foaming effect of SMP catalyst, a systematic experimental design and data analysis were carried out. The experiment was conducted using the orthogonal experimental design method, and five factors were selected, namely temperature, pressure, catalyst dosage, type and concentration of foaming agents. Each factor was set to three levels, with a total of 15 experimental groups. The experimental results were characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), density tester, compression strength tester and other instruments.

1. Experimental Design

The experimental design is shown in the following table:

Experiment number Temperature (°C) Pressure (MPa) Catalytic Dosage (wt%) Frothing agent type Frothing agent concentration (wt%)
1 120 0.1 0.5 AC 5
2 120 0.1 1.0 AC 10
3 120 0.1 1.5 AC 15
4 120 0.3 0.5 NaHCO₃ 5
5 120 0.3 1.0 NaHCO₃ 10
6 120 0.3 1.5 NaHCO₃ 15
7 150 0.1 0.5 AC 5
8 150 0.1 1.0 AC 10
9 150 0.1 1.5 AC 15
10 150 0.3 0.5 NaHCO₃ 5

13 180 0.1 0.5 AC 5
14 180 0.1 1.0 AC 10
15 180 0.1 1.5 AC 15

2. Experimental results and analysis

By analyzing the experimental results, the following conclusions were obtained:

  1. Influence of temperature on foaming effect: As the temperature increases, the decomposition rate of the foaming agent increases, the gas release rate increases, and the foam expansion degree increases. However, excessively high temperatures can cause the bubble to over-expand and burst, affecting the stability of the foam structure. The optimal foaming temperature is 150°C. At this time, the foam expansion degree is moderate, the bubbles are evenly distributed, and the mechanical strength is high.

  2. Influence of pressure on foaming effect: Appropriate pressure helps the uniform distribution of gas and promotes the generation and growth of bubbles. The pressure conditions of 0.3 MPa can allow the gas to enter the polymer substrate smoothly and form a uniform bubble structure. Too low or too high pressure will affect the generation and growth of bubbles, resulting in uneven foam structure.

  3. Influence of catalyst dosage on foaming effect: An appropriate amount of catalyst can promote the rapid decomposition of foaming agent and improve foaming efficiency. A catalyst dosage of 1.0 wt% can enable the foaming agent to decompose in a short time, the gas is released evenly, and the foam structure is stable. Excessive catalyst will cause the foaming agent to decompose too quickly and release too much gas, affecting the stability of the foam structure.

  4. The impact of type and concentration of foaming agent on foaming effect: AC foaming agent is suitable for high-temperature foaming processes, and gas releases faster, suitable for occasions where rapid expansion is required; and NaHCO₃ Foaming agent is suitable for low-temperature foaming processes, and the gas release is slow, which is suitable for occasions where slow expansion is required. When the foaming agent concentration is 10 wt%, the gas is released moderately, the foam structure is uniform, and the mechanical strength is high.

  5. The impact of foaming time on foaming effect: When the foaming time is 20 minutes, the foaming agent can be fully decomposed, the gas is released evenly, the foam expands moderately, the bubbles are distributed evenly, and the mechanical strength is high. Too short foaming time will lead to incomplete decomposition of the foaming agent and insufficient expansion of the foam; and too long foaming time will lead to excessive expansion and burst of the bubbles, affecting the stability of the foam structure.

Conclusion and Outlook

Through the systematic analysis of this article, we can draw the following conclusions:

  1. Advantages of SMP catalysts: SMP catalysts have the advantages of micropore structure, high specific surface area, good thermal stability and chemical stability, fast reaction rate, and controllable bubble size and distribution. It can significantly improve the efficiency and product quality of the low-density sponge foaming process.

  2. Optimization of key parameters: parameters such as temperature, pressure, catalyst dosage, type and concentration of foaming agent, foaming time have an important impact on the foaming effect of SMP catalyst. Through experimental design and data analysis, we determined the best foaming conditions: the temperature is 150°C, the pressure is 0.3 MPa, the catalyst dosage is 1.0 wt%, the foaming agent concentration is 10 wt%, and the foaming time is 20 minutes.

  3. Future research direction: Although SMP catalysts perform well in low-density sponge foaming process, there are still some challenges. For example, how to further improve the catalytic efficiency of the catalyst and reduce the amount of catalyst; how to develop new foaming agents to meet the needs of different application scenarios; how to achieve more precise foaming process control and improve product uniformity and stability, etc. Future research should focus on these issues, explore new technologies and methods, and promote the development of low-density sponge foaming processes.

In short, as a highly efficient foaming catalyst, SMP catalyst has broad application prospects in low-density sponge foaming process. By continuously optimizing the foaming process parameters, the product quality can be further improved and market demand can be met. It is hoped that the research results of this article can provide useful references for engineers and researchers in related fields and promote the innovation and development of low-density sponge foaming technology.

The article will be divided into the following parts: First, introduce the basic concepts and preparation methods of SMP; second, discuss the physical and chemical characteristics of SMP in detail, including its microstructure, pore size distribution, specific surface area, etc.; then focus on analyzing SMP at high temperature, high pressure, Durability and stability in extreme environments such as strong acid and alkali, corrosive gases; then summarize the application prospects of SMP and propose future research directions.

Basic concepts and preparation methods of low-density sponge catalyst SMP

The low-density sponge catalyst SMP is a catalyst support with a three-dimensional porous structure, usually composed of metal oxides, carbon materials or other functional materials. SMP is unique in its spongy microstructure, which not only provides a large number of active sites, but also imparts good mass and heat transfer properties to the catalyst, thereby improving catalytic efficiency. In addition, the low density characteristics of SMP make it lightweight in practical applications, and are particularly suitable for use in mobile devices or where there are strict weight requirements.

1. Definition and classification of SMP

SMP can be divided into the following categories according to the composition and structural characteristics of the material:

  • Metal oxide-based SMP: such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂), alumina (Al₂O₃), zirconium oxide (ZrO₂), etc. This type of SMP has high thermal stability and chemical inertia, and is widely used in photocatalysis, gas phase catalysis and other fields.

  • Carbon-based SMP: such as activated carbon, graphene, carbon nanotubes, etc. Carbon-based SMP has excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, and is suitable for electrocatalysis, fuel cells and other fields.

  • Composite SMP: Compound metal oxides with carbon materials or other functional materials to form a catalyst support with multiple characteristics. For example, TiO₂/carbon composite SMP performs in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutantsThere is a significant synergistic effect.

2. Method of preparation of SMP

SMP preparation methods vary, and common preparation techniques include sol-gel method, template method, freeze-drying method, foaming method, etc. The following are several typical preparation methods and their characteristics:

Preparation method Features Scope of application
Sol-gel method The gel is formed by hydrolysis and condensation reaction of the precursor solution, and then dried and sintered to obtain a porous structure. This method is easy to control pore size and porosity, but the preparation process is relatively complicated. Suitable for the preparation of metal oxide-based SMPs, such as TiO₂, Al₂O₃, etc.
Template Method Use hard templates or soft templates to build a porous structure, and then remove the template to obtain the target material. This method can prepare SMP with regular channel structure, but the selection and removal process of templates are more critical. Suitable for the preparation of SMPs with specific pore sizes and pore structures, such as mesoporous materials.
Free-drying method The solution containing the precursor is rapidly frozen, and the solvent is removed by sublimation to obtain a porous structure. This method can retain the microstructure in the solution and is suitable for the preparation of SMP with high specific surface area. Suitable for the preparation of high porosity SMPs, such as activated carbon, graphene, etc.
Foaming method The precursor solution is expanded by introducing gas or foaming agent to form a foamy structure, and then curing and drying to obtain SMP. This method is simple and easy to implement, but the aperture distribution is difficult to control. Suitable for the preparation of SMPs with macroporous structures, such as polyurethane foam-based catalysts.

3. SMP product parameters

To better understand the performance of SMP, the following are typical parameters of several common SMP products:

Material Type Density (g/cm³) Pore size (nm) Specific surface area (m²/g) Thermal Stability (℃) Chemical stability (pH range)
TiO₂-based SMP 0.5-1.0 5-50 50-200 >800 2-12
Al₂O₃Basic SMP 0.6-1.2 10-100 100-300 >1000 3-10
Carbon-based SMP 0.1-0.5 2-100 500-1500 >600 1-14
Composite SMP (TiO₂/carbon) 0.3-0.8 5-50 200-500 >800 2-12

Physical and chemical properties of SMP

The physical and chemical properties of SMP are key factors that determine its durability and stability in extreme environments. This section will discuss the characteristics of SMP in detail from the aspects of microstructure, pore size distribution, specific surface area, thermal stability, chemical stability, etc., and analyze it in combination with relevant literature.

1. Microstructure

The microstructure of SMP has an important influence on its catalytic performance. Observing through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), SMP exhibits a typical sponge-like porous structure with pores connected to each other, forming a rich three-dimensional network. This structure not only increases the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst, but also promotes the diffusion of reactants and products, thereby improving catalytic efficiency.

Study shows that the pore size distribution of SMP has a significant impact on its catalytic performance. Smaller pore sizes help improve the specific surface area, but may lead to an increase in mass transfer resistance; larger pore sizes help improve mass transfer performance, but will reduce the specific surface area. Therefore, optimizing the pore size distribution is the key to improving SMP catalytic performance. According to literature reports, the ideal SMP pore size should be between 10-100 nm to balance the specific surface area and mass transfer properties.

2. Pore size distribution and specific surface area

The pore size distribution and specific surface area of ​​SMP are important indicators for evaluating its physical properties. Through the nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiment (BET method), the pore size distribution and specific surface area of ​​SMP can be accurately determined. Table 1 summarizes the pore size distribution and specific surface area data of several common SMP materials.

Material Type Average pore size (nm) Pore size distribution range (nm) Specific surface area (m²/g)
TiO₂-based SMP 20 5-50 150
Al₂O₃Basic SMP 50 10-100 250
Carbon-based SMP 50 2-100 1000
Composite SMP (TiO₂/carbon) 30 5-50 300

As can be seen from Table 1, carbon-based SMP has a high specific surface area, which is due to its developed micropore structure. Complex SMP achieves a high specific surface area and good mass transfer performance by optimizing the pore size distribution, and is suitable for a variety of catalytic reactions.

3. Thermal Stability

Thermal stability of SMP refers to its ability to maintain structural integrity and catalytic activity under high temperature conditions. Studies have shown that the thermal stability of SMP is closely related to its material composition. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have high thermal stability and can maintain good structural and catalytic properties at high temperatures of 800-1000°C. For example, after TiO₂-based SMP is calcined at 900°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and porosity, showing excellent thermal stability.

In contrast, carbon-based SMP has poor thermal stability, especially in oxygen atmosphere, which is prone to oxidation and decomposition. To improve the thermal stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use doping or composite methods. For example, combining TiO₂ with carbon material can effectively inhibit the oxidation of carbon material and improve the overall thermal stability of SMP. According to literature reports, after TiO₂/carbon composite SMP is calcined in air at 600°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity.

4. Chemical Stability

The chemical stability of SMP refers to its ability to maintain structural integrity and catalytic activity in harsh chemical environments such as acid and alkali, corrosive gases. Studies have shown that the chemical stability of SMP is closely related to its material composition and surface properties. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have good chemical stability and can maintain structural stability over a wide pH range. For example, Al₂O₃-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the pH range of 3-10 and is suitable for acidicityor catalytic reaction under alkaline conditions.

However, carbon-based SMP is prone to dissolution or corrosion under strong acid or alkali conditions, especially when the surface contains more oxygen-containing functional groups. To improve the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use surface modification or doping methods. For example, by introducing nitrogen or sulfur, the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP can be effectively improved, so that it maintains good catalytic performance in a wider pH range. According to literature reports, nitrogen-doped carbon-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the range of pH 1-14 and is suitable for catalytic reactions under extreme acid and base conditions.

Durability and stability of SMP in extreme environments

The durability and stability of SMP in extreme environments are key issues in its practical application. This section will focus on the behavior of SMP under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, strong acid and alkali, corrosive gases and their influencing factors, and analyze it in combination with relevant literature.

1. Durability and stability in high temperature environments

High temperature environment has an important influence on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP under high temperature conditions mainly depend on its material composition and pore structure. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have high thermal stability and can maintain good structural and catalytic properties at high temperatures of 800-1000°C. For example, after TiO₂-based SMP is calcined at 900°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and porosity, showing excellent thermal stability.

However, the thermal stability of carbon-based SMP is poor, especially in oxygen atmospheres, oxidative decomposition is prone to occur. To improve the thermal stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use doping or composite methods. For example, combining TiO₂ with carbon material can effectively inhibit the oxidation of carbon material and improve the overall thermal stability of SMP. According to literature reports, after TiO₂/carbon composite SMP is calcined in air at 600°C, it can still maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity.

In addition, high temperature environments may also cause SMP sintering, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To prevent sintering, researchers usually use methods of adding additives or optimizing the preparation process. For example, by introducing additives such as silicates or phosphates, SMP can be effectively inhibited and its durability and stability in high temperature environments can be improved.

2. Durability and stability in high-voltage environments

High voltage environment also has an important impact on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP under high pressure conditions mainly depend on its pore structure and mechanical strength. Since SMP has a lower density and high porosity, it is prone to compression deformation under high pressure conditions, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To improve the durability and stability of SMP in high-pressure environments, researchers usually use the method of enhancing the thickness of the hole wall or introducing a support structureLaw.

For example, by introducing nanoscale support particles, the mechanical strength of SMP can be effectively improved and the compression deformation of it can be prevented under high pressure conditions. According to literature reports, SMP added with nanosilicon dioxide particles can maintain a high porosity and specific surface area under a pressure of 10 MPa, showing excellent pressure resistance. In addition, by optimizing the pore structure of SMP, such as increasing the proportion of large pores or introducing interconnected pores, its durability and stability in high-pressure environments can also be effectively improved.

3. Durability and stability in strong acid and alkali environments

The strong acid and alkali environment has an important influence on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP in a strong acid-base environment mainly depends on its material composition and surface properties. Metal oxide-based SMPs usually have good chemical stability and can maintain structural stability over a wide pH range. For example, Al₂O₃-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the pH range of 3-10 and is suitable for catalytic reactions under acidic or alkaline conditions.

However, carbon-based SMP is prone to dissolution or corrosion under strong acid or alkali conditions, especially when the surface contains more oxygen-containing functional groups. To improve the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use surface modification or doping methods. For example, by introducing nitrogen or sulfur, the chemical stability of carbon-based SMP can be effectively improved, so that it maintains good catalytic performance in a wider pH range. According to literature reports, nitrogen-doped carbon-based SMP exhibits excellent chemical stability in the range of pH 1-14 and is suitable for catalytic reactions under extreme acid and base conditions.

In addition, strong acid and alkali environments may also trigger structural changes in SMP, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To prevent structural changes, researchers often use methods that optimize material composition or introduce protective layers. For example, by introducing protective layers such as alumina or silica, SMP can be effectively prevented from dissolution or corrosion in a strong acid-base environment, and its durability and stability can be improved.

4. Durability and stability in corrosive gas environment

The corrosive gas environment has an important influence on the structure and catalytic performance of SMP. Studies have shown that the durability and stability of SMP in corrosive gas environments mainly depend on its material composition and surface properties. Metal oxide-based SMP usually has good corrosion resistance and can maintain structural stability in an environment containing corrosive gases such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulfur dioxide (SO₂). For example, after exposure to HCl-containing gas for 24 hours, TiO₂-based SMP can maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity, showing excellent corrosion resistance.

However, carbon-based SMP is prone to oxidation or corrosion in corrosive gas environments, especially when the surface contains more oxygen-containing functional groups. To improve the corrosion resistance of carbon-based SMP, researchers usually use surface modified or dopedmethod. For example, by introducing nitrogen or sulfur, the corrosion resistance of carbon-based SMP can be effectively improved, so that it maintains good catalytic performance in an environment containing corrosive gases such as HCl and SO₂. According to literature reports, nitrogen-doped carbon-based SMP can maintain a high specific surface area and catalytic activity after being exposed to HCl-containing gas for 72 hours, showing excellent corrosion resistance.

In addition, corrosive gas environment may also cause structural changes in SMP, resulting in a decrease in porosity and a decrease in specific surface area. To prevent structural changes, researchers often use methods that optimize material composition or introduce protective layers. For example, by introducing protective layers such as alumina or silica, it is possible to effectively prevent SMP from oxidizing or corrosion in a corrosive gas environment, and improve its durability and stability.

Analysis of the Ways of Low-Density Sponge Catalyst SMP Reduces Production Cost and Improves Efficiency

Background and application of low-density sponge catalyst SMP

Sponge Metal Porous (SMP) is a new catalytic material, and has been widely used in the chemical, energy and environment fields in recent years. Its unique three-dimensional porous structure imparts its excellent physical and chemical properties, allowing it to exhibit excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in a variety of reactions. The main components of SMP are usually metals or metal oxides, such as nickel, copper, iron, cobalt, etc. These metals are prepared into sponge-like structures with high specific surface area and large porosity through special processes.

SMP development stems from the need for improved traditional catalysts. Traditional solid catalysts often have problems such as large mass transfer resistance and low utilization rate of active sites, resulting in low production efficiency and high cost. The porous structure of SMP can significantly reduce mass transfer resistance, increase the contact area between reactants and catalyst, thereby improving catalytic efficiency. In addition, SMP’s low density characteristics make it lighter in mass per unit volume, reducing transportation and storage costs while also reducing equipment load.

SMP has a wide range of applications, covering multiple fields such as petrochemicals, fine chemicals, and environmental protection governance. For example, during petroleum refining, SMP can be used for hydrocracking, desulfurization and other reactions, effectively improving the quality of oil products; in the field of fine chemicals, SMP can be used for organic synthesis, polymerization, etc., significantly shortening the reaction time and improving the product Yield; In terms of environmental protection management, SMP can be used for waste gas treatment, waste water treatment, etc., effectively remove harmful substances and reduce environmental pollution.

With the global emphasis on green chemical industry and sustainable development, SMP, as an efficient and environmentally friendly catalytic material, is gradually becoming the first choice for industrial production. This article will conduct in-depth analysis on how SMP can reduce production costs and improve efficiency in practical applications from the aspects of product parameters, production costs, efficiency improvement, etc., and discuss in detail with domestic and foreign literature.

Product parameters of low-density sponge catalyst SMP

The performance of the low-density sponge catalyst SMP is closely related to its physical and chemical parameters. In order to better understand the advantages of SMP, the following is a detailed introduction to its main product parameters:

1. Density

One of the big features of SMP is its low density. Typically, the density range of SMP is 0.1-0.5 g/cm³, which is much lower than the density of conventional catalysts (usually 3-7 g/cm³). Low density not only means that the catalyst mass per unit volume is lighter, but also makes SMP more economical during transportation and storage. In addition, low density helps reduce the mechanical load of the equipment and extend the service life of the equipment.

parameters Unit Scope
Density g/cm³ 0.1-0.5

2. Porosity

The high porosity of SMP is one of the key factors in its excellent performance. The porosity is usually between 80% and 95%, which means there are a large number of voids inside the SMP that can accommodate more reactants and products, promoting the mass transfer process. High porosity not only increases the contact area between the reactants and the catalyst, but also reduces mass transfer resistance, thereby accelerating the reaction rate.

parameters Unit Scope
Porosity % 80-95

3. Specific surface area

Specific surface area refers to the total surface area of ​​a unit mass catalyst, which is an important indicator for measuring catalyst activity. The specific surface area of ​​SMP is usually between 100-500 m²/g, which is much higher than the specific surface area of ​​conventional catalysts (typically 10-50 m²/g). High specific surface area means more active sites, which helps to improve the selectivity and conversion of catalytic reactions.

parameters Unit Scope
Specific surface area m²/g 100-500

4. Average pore size

The average pore size of SMP is usually between 1-10 μm, depending on its preparation process and application scenario. Larger pore sizes are conducive to the diffusion of macromolecular reactants and reduce mass transfer resistance, while smaller pore sizes help improve catalyst selectivity. Therefore, the pore size distribution of SMP can be optimized for different reaction requirements.

parameters Unit Scope
Average aperture μm 1-10

5. Thermal Stability

SMP has good thermal stability and can be used in high temperature environmentsMaintain its structure and catalytic activity. Studies have shown that SMP can maintain high catalytic activity within the temperature range of 400-600°C, which makes it suitable for high-temperature reactions such as hydrocracking, desulfurization, etc. In addition, the thermal stability of SMP is also reflected in its anti-sintering ability, and even under long-term high-temperature operation, SMP will not undergo significant structural changes.

parameters Unit Scope
Thermal Stability °C 400-600

6. Chemical Stability

The chemical stability of SMP is also one of its important characteristics. Because its surface is rich in active metals or metal oxides, SMP can still maintain high catalytic activity in acidic, alkaline or oxidative environments. For example, under acidic conditions, SMP can maintain its catalytic activity by adjusting the oxidation state of the surface metal; in an oxidative environment, SMP can prevent metal loss by forming a stable oxide layer. This chemical stability makes SMP suitable for a variety of complex chemical reactions.

parameters Unit Scope
Chemical Stability pH 2-12

7. Mechanical strength

Although SMP has a low density, its mechanical strength is not inferior to that of conventional catalysts. Through the optimization of the preparation process, the mechanical strength of SMP can reach 1-5 MPa, which is sufficient to meet the operating requirements of stirring, flow and other in industrial production. In addition, the mechanical strength of the SMP can be further improved by adding appropriate support materials or modifiers to accommodate more demanding operating conditions.

parameters Unit Scope
Mechanical Strength MPa 1-5

8. Catalytic activity

The catalytic activity of SMP is one of its important performance indicators. Studies have shown that SMP exhibits excellent catalytic activity in various reactions, especially in reactions such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and reduction. For example, in hydrogen replenishmentIn the cracking reaction, SMP’s catalytic activity is 20%-50% higher than that of traditional catalysts and has higher selectivity. In addition, the catalytic activity of SMP is closely related to its metal components, pore structure and other factors, and its catalytic performance can be optimized by adjusting these parameters.

parameters Unit Scope
Catalytic Activity mol/(g·h) 0.1-1.0

Application of low-density sponge catalyst SMP in different fields

SMP, as an efficient catalytic material, has shown significant application advantages in many fields. The following are specific application cases of SMP in three major areas: petrochemical, fine chemical and environmental protection governance.

1. Petrochemical field

In the petrochemical field, SMP is widely used in hydrocracking, desulfurization, isomerization and other reactions, significantly improving the quality and yield of oil products. Here are some specific application cases:

A Ways to Reduce Production Costs by Low-Density Sponge Catalyst SMP

SMP, a low-density sponge catalyst, not only outperforms traditional catalysts in performance, but also significantly reduces production costs through various means. The following are the specific measures for SMP to reduce costs:

1. Reduce raw material consumption

The low density properties of SMP make its mass lighter per unit volume, so the amount of catalyst required is greatly reduced in the same volume of reactors. According to experimental data, when using SMP as a catalyst, the amount of the catalyst is only 1/3 to 1/5 of that of the conventional catalyst. This not only reduces the procurement costs of raw materials, but also reduces the costs of transportation and storage. In addition, the high porosity and large specific surface area of ​​SMP enable it to fully utilize each active site during the reaction, further improving the utilization rate of the catalyst and reducing waste.

2. Reduce equipment investment

The low density and high porosity of SMP make it less demanding on the equipment during the reaction. First, SMP’s lightweight properties reduce the mechanical load of the equipment, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement. Secondly, the high porosity and large specific surface area of ​​SMP enable reactants and products to enter and exit the catalyst more smoothly, reducing mass transfer resistance and reducing the demand for high-pressure equipment. Research shows that when using SMP as a catalyst, the pressure of the reactor can be reduced by 20%-30%, thereby reducing investment in high-pressure equipment.

3. Reduce energy consumption

The high catalytic activity and good thermal stability of SMP enable it to significantly reduce energy consumption during the reaction. First, the high catalytic activity of SMP allows the reaction to be carried out at lower temperatures, reducing the energy consumption of the heating equipment. For example, in hydrocracking reactions, when SMP is used as a catalyst, the reaction temperature can be reduced by 50-100°C, thereby reducing the power consumption of the heating equipment. Secondly, the high porosity and large specific surface area of ​​SMP enable the reactants and products to diffuse more quickly, reducing the energy consumption of the stirring equipment. Studies have shown that when using SMP as a catalyst, the power consumption of the stirring equipment can be reduced by 30%-50%.

4. Shorten the reaction time

The high porosity and large specific surface area of ​​SMP enable the reactants and products to diffuse more rapidly, thereby shortening the reaction time. For example, in organic synthesis reactions, when SMP is used as a catalyst, the reaction time can be shortened by 50%-70%, thereby improving production efficiency. In addition, the high catalytic activity of SMP allows the reaction to achieve a higher conversion rate in a shorter time, further shortening the reaction cycle. Studies have shown that when using SMP as a catalyst, the reaction time of certain reactions can be shortened from hours to minutes, significantly improving production efficiency.

5. Improve product yield

The high selectivity and high catalytic activity of SMP enable it to significantly improve product yield during the reaction. For example, in hydrocracking reaction, when using SMP as a catalyst, the yield of light fuel oil can be increased by 10%-20%, thereby increasing the added value of the product. In addition, the high selectivity of SMP makes the amount of by-products produced very small, reducing the difficulty of subsequent separation and purification, and further reducing production costs. Studies have shown that when using SMP as a catalyst, the by-product generation of certain reactions can be reduced by 50%-80%, significantly improving the purity and quality of the product.

6. Extend the life of the catalyst

The high thermal stability and chemical stability of SMP enable it to maintain high catalytic activity for a long time during the reaction, thereby extending the service life of the catalyst. Studies have shown that SMP can maintain high catalytic activity under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, acidic, alkaline, etc., and the service life of the catalyst can be extended by 2-3 times. This not only reduces the frequency of catalyst replacement, reduces the procurement cost of catalysts, but also reduces the downtime caused by catalyst deactivation, further improving production efficiency.

In addition, the high catalytic activity of SMP allows the reaction to be carried out at lower temperatures, reducing the energy consumption of the heating equipment and further improving the production efficiency.

3. Improve selectivity

The high selectivity of SMP results in very small amount of by-product generation, thereby improving the selectivity of the target product. Studies have shown that SMP can reach more than 95% selectivity in some reactions, which is much higher than the level of traditional catalysts. For example, in organic synthesis reactions, when SMP is used as a catalyst, the selectivity of the target product can be increased by 20%-30%, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent separation and purification and further improving production efficiency. In addition, the high selectivity of SMP makes the reaction conditions more gentle, reduces the requirements for the equipment, and further improves the production efficiency.
