With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection and the deepening of sustainable development concepts, the paper industry is facing unprecedented transformation pressure. As an indispensable part of the paper industry, the green and sustainable development of defoamers has become a focus of industry attention.

1、 Application of environmentally friendly raw materials

Traditional defoamers often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful substances, causing pollution to the environment. In order to achieve green and sustainable development, future defoamers will pay more attention to the application of environmentally friendly raw materials. By using biodegradable natural ingredients such as plant extracts and microbial metabolites, environmental pollution can be reduced while improving the biocompatibility of defoamers.

2、 Research and development of efficient synthesis processes

In addition to the selection of raw materials, the development of efficient synthesis processes is also an important way to achieve green and sustainable development of defoamers. By optimizing the synthesis process, reducing energy consumption and waste emissions, the production cost of defoamers can be lowered while improving their environmental friendliness. In addition, developing defoamers with low or even zero VOC emissions will further reduce pollution to the atmospheric environment.

3、 Recycling and closed-loop production

In the paper industry, achieving resource recycling and closed-loop production is of great significance for promoting sustainable development. Future defoamer designs will pay more attention to the impact of residual components on pulp processing and paper recycling. By developing defoamers that are easy to decompose and recycle, long-term pollution to the environment can be reduced, while promoting closed-loop production and resource recycling in the paper industry.

4、 Technological innovation and intelligent application

Technological innovation is an important driving force for promoting the green and sustainable development of defoamers. By combining cutting-edge technologies such as biological enzyme technology and nanotechnology, more efficient, environmentally friendly, and multifunctional defoamer products can be developed. In addition, intelligent applications are also a future development trend. By utilizing technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, precise monitoring and management of the use of defoamers can be achieved, further improving their efficiency and environmental performance.
