[background technology]
In recent years, along with science and technology development, the titanium dioxide crystal that it is found that nanoscale has excellent photocatalysis property, promptly under the irradiation of ultraviolet ray (UV), have very strong oxidation/reducing property, can realize the functions such as the thorough mineralising of room temperature, antibacterial and mouldproof and ultraviolet screener of bio-refractory organic pollution.Thereby the application of relevant titanium dioxide nano-crystal and synthetic method thereof become key subjects, and the various countries scientific worker launches research from different perspectives.
At present, research great majority to the synthetic method of titanium dioxide nano-crystal concentrate on collosol-gelatum system, co-precipitation hydrolyzation system, microemulsion system direction (needing the elevated temperature heat crystallization), and direction such as the hydro-thermal under the higher temperature conditions, solvent thermal synthesis system.With the synthetic titanium dioxide nano-crystal particle of these methods hard aggregation (needing experience elevated temperature heat crystallization) taking place more greatly and easily, is difficult to disperse and dissolving; Perhaps very high to the requirement of reactor, be difficult for amplifying, be difficult to adapt to suitability for industrialized production.
So the existing scientific and technological person of part begins the composition problem of titanium dioxide nano-crystal under the cryogenic conditions is launched research, and has the part achievement to come out.Some synthetic method, comprise co-precipitation Hydrolyze method, acidifying dispergation method, alkalization peptisation, the hot method of hydrothermal/solvent etc., in documents such as CN 1295977A (Chinese invention patent publication number, down together), CN 1323743A, CN 1363521A, CN 1583888A, CN 1654335A, CN 1218878C, CN 1631999A, CN 1709987A, CN 1571756A, CN 1706749A, CN 1170775C, CN 1562768A and CN 1686608A, disclose.But in the synthetic method of titanium dioxide nano-crystal, there is following defective under these cryogenic conditions:
(1) process is loaded down with trivial details, the reaction system complexity, and the technological process of production is long.Generally the titaniferous inorganic salts with the tetravalence attitude are the titanium source, and by the alkali lye neutralization, the titaniferous inorganic salts are hydrolyzed into the titanium hydroxide/hydration titanic acid of impalpable structure, the titanium hydroxide of gained impalpable structure in washes clean (to detect less than Cl
-Ion, SO
4 2-Ions etc. are foundation) after, be scattered in again in the solution such as inorganic acid or alkali, through dispergation/peptization and crystallization process, make needed titanium dioxide nano-crystal.
(2) a large amount of consumption of resources such as alkali, acid solution and water produce a large amount of waste water simultaneously, are unfavorable for environmental improvement.The titaniferous inorganic salt compound can produce more inorganic acid in hydrolytic process, need to neutralize (promptly in the process of neutralization hydrolysis taking place) with a large amount of alkali lye, needs extra inorganic acid to carry out dispergation and crystallization after the titanium hydroxide of gained impalpable structure is waited to have washed again.
(3) the reaction mass kind is many, and product purity is not high.Except that titanium-containing compound, also need some alkali lye, acid solution, organic solvent, surfactant etc.Also make simultaneously the separation purification difficulty of product increase, be difficult to obtain the titanium dioxide nano-crystal of higher degree.
(4) productive rate of unit reaction volume is lower, and productive rate is generally only about 10~25g/l.

(3) Separation ﹠ Purification: mainly refer to cooling, centrifugation, removal of impurities, be common routine operation process.
Centrifugation gained titanium dioxide nano-crystal promptly obtains a kind of colloidal dispersion that contains the titanium dioxide nano-crystal of adjustable concentration through dialysis purification or nanofiltration purification; Perhaps handle and to obtain a kind of soluble titanium dioxide nano-powder through low-temperature vacuum drying.
Centrifugation gained clear liquid mainly contains sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid and the very little titanium dioxide nano-crystal of a spot of particle, and it decompression distillation can be obtained certain density hydrochloric acid solution, can be used for disposing precursor solution, can be used for also that other is industrial.Residue then can extract sodium chloride and titanium dioxide.
Among the present invention, the titanium source can add mixed in hydrochloric acid by titanium tetrachloride and titanium trichloride and make, and also can be made by titanium sponge and excessive titanium tetrachloride, hydrochloric acid reaction.Because the titanium trichloride hydrochloric acid solution is normally made by the reaction of titanium sponge, titanium tetrachloride and hydrochloric acid, so the salt-mixture acid solution of titanium tetrachloride and titanium trichloride also can be made by titanium sponge and excessive titanium tetrachloride, the reaction of hydrochloric acid.Because wherein excessive titanium tetrachloride provides the Ti of tetravalence attitude
4+Ion, the titanium sponge that reacts then changes the Ti of three valence states into
3+Ion.Reduced the link of titanium trichloride being carried out purifying, and the hydrochloric acid solution of titanium tetrachloride and titanium trichloride mix link, so, dispose the titanium source with titanium sponge and excessive titanium tetrachloride, hydrochloric acid reaction, production cost is lower.
