A kind of preparation method of corundum-mullite light heat-insulating material
Technical field
The invention belongs to light heat-insulating material preparing technical field, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of corundum-mullite light heat-insulating material.
Background technology
Day by day exhausted along with the energy, there are higher requirement in country and enterprise to energy-saving and cost-reducing in production process.In the Thermal Equipment such as Industrial Stoves, high-temperature electric resistance furnace, use light heat-insulating material to be a kind of simple and effective method that can significantly save energy and reduce the cost.Wherein with the corundum-mullite complex phase light heat-insulating material that corundum and mullite are principal crystalline phase, have the good characteristic of two kinds of materials concurrently, having that void content is high, thermal conductivity is low, thermal shock resistance is excellent, resistance to elevated temperatures is good and the advantage such as thermal expansivity is little, is one of more satisfactory middle high-temperature energy-conservation material.As the corundum-mullite series light heat-insulation brick of J. P. Morgan & Co. of Britain exploitation, maximum operation (service) temperature is from 1650 DEG C to 1760 DEG C.
The typical pore forming method preparing light heat-insulating material at present has interpolation pore-forming material method and foaming.Adding pore-forming material method is by adding pore-forming material (as graphite, starch, sawdust, polystyrene spheres etc.) in ceramic batch, utilize pore-forming material in base substrate, occupy certain space, after oversintering, pore-forming material leaves matrix and forms pore to obtain light heat-insulating material.A kind of preparation method of light high-alumina insulating firebrick of the patent disclosure of publication number CN 101768005A, with bauxite chamotte and kaolin for raw material, with poly-light ball and sawdust for pore-forming material, has prepared light fire brick.The preparation method that patent discloses a kind of corundum-mullite light brick of publication number CN 102381880A, with alumine, α-Al
2o
3micro mist, aluminium dihydrogen phosphate are raw material, be pore-forming material, prepared light heat-insulation brick with polystyrene spheres.The shortcoming of this technique is that goods inner air vent size is uneven, gas cell distribution is uneven and void content is on the low side, and then causes that product strength is lower, thermal conductivity is higher.Foaming is in ceramic composition, add organic or Inorganic chemical substance and whipping agent, during processing, form volatile gases, produces foam, drying and burn till obtained light porous ceramic.Foaming more easily controls shape and the density of goods, and article construction is evenly distributed, to close porosity high, is particularly suitable for preparing light heat-insulating material.
Simple and one of foam process of practicality by whipping agent mechanical foaming in ceramic size.But because bubble is thermodynamics unsteady state, in ceramic size, the floating of meeting bubbling is discharged, is combined the phenomenon becoming the instability such as large and Ostwald ripening, therefore the key of foaming is to realize solidifying the quick in situ of bubble in conjunction with in-situ consolidation forming technology.Document " Gel-casting process prepares mullite foamed ceramics " (" University Of Tianjin's journal ", 41st volume, 12nd phase) and patent CN 101591175A employing Gel-casting process, on the basis of ceramic size foaming, prepare the light ceramics of high porosity by the in-situ polymerization solidification of organic monomer.Applied widely to raw material of Gel-casting process, the blank strength of preparation is high.But its use organic monomer there is certain toxicity, to HUMAN HEALTH and environmental protection unfavorable; And base substrate binder removal is complicated, sintering shrinkage large, easily causes the cracking of goods.
Sol-gel moulding process is as a kind of novel colloidal formation technique, and it utilizes colloidal sol to the transformation of gel to realize the consolidation in-situ forming of slurry.In inorganic sol, silicon sol mature preparation process, cost are low; Gelation reaction is more easy to control; More stable, good with the matching of ceramic size (iso-electric point is partial to acidity) in the basic conditions, be most widely used.The people (J.Am.Ceram.Soc.73 (1): 85-90 such as Takamitsu Fujiu, 1990) foamed by freonll-11 in silicon sol, dodecyl sulphonic acid sodium stabilise bubbles, the gelation reaction of silicon sol is utilized to fix foam, obtained fumed silica after foams drying, sintering.The people (Journal of Porous Materials 11:107-115,2004) such as Takahiro Tomita take silicon sol as raw material, and sodium laurate sulfuric ester is whipping agent, by sol gel reaction in conjunction with the standby foam silicon-dioxide of mechanical foaming legal system.The shortcoming of the method described in above document foams in silicon sol, only relies on nano-silicon dioxide particle to enclose hole, its drying cycle long (more than 30 days) and dry difficulty, easy to crack, and be difficult to prepare the sample with standard brick size, actual application value is not high.
