Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of preparation methods of magnesium hydroxide flame retardants, in particular to a method for preparing a nano magnesium hydroxide flame retardant through high shear force.
Background
Magnesium hydroxide, as an inorganic material, has the characteristics of no toxicity, no odor, no corrosiveness, high decomposition temperature and the like, and has very important application in the fields of flame retardance, environmental protection, medical use, food, ceramics, cosmetics and the like. The advantages of magnesium hydroxide as an inorganic flame retardant are particularly prominent with the increasing demand for halogen-free flame retardants in recent years. The preparation method of the magnesium hydroxide mainly comprises the following steps: 1. brine lime method: is prepared by reacting bittern with slaked lime. 2. Brine ammonia water method: taking brine which is subjected to purification treatment to remove impurities such as sulfate, carbon dioxide, a small amount of boron and the like as a raw material, and taking ammonia water as a precipitator to perform precipitation reaction in a reaction kettle to obtain a finished product of magnesium hydroxide; 3. magnesia ammonia hydrochloride method: the magnesite and anthracite or coke are calcined to generate magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide, the magnesium oxide and the carbon dioxide are reacted with hydrochloric acid with specified concentration after calcination to prepare magnesium chloride solution, and the magnesium chloride solution and ammonia water with certain concentration are reacted in a reactor to obtain a magnesium hydroxide product.
The high shearing force is that under the action of centrifugal force generated by the rotor rotating at high speed, materials are sucked into the working cavity from the upper feeding area and the lower feeding area of the working head and from the axial direction. Powerful centrifugal force throws the material from radially getting into between the stator, the narrow accurate clearance of rotor, receives comprehensive effort such as centrifugal extrusion, liquid layer friction, hydraulic impact simultaneously, and the material is by preliminary dispersion.
The high-concentration magnesium salt reacts with sodium hydroxide to prepare magnesium hydroxide, and because colloid is easy to generate and the viscosity is high, agglomeration can be caused, and the particle size is large. When the conventional stirring equipment is in a low rotating speed, the prepared magnesium hydroxide has too large particle diameter due to large viscosity and insufficient stirring, and cannot be used as a flame retardant, and when the rotating speed is too large, reactants splash and cannot react. Therefore, the preparation of magnesium hydroxide from magnesium salt and sodium hydroxide requires a device with high stirring speed and less splashing. The high shear reactor can satisfy the above requirements because it contains a stator and a rotor.
