Description

A Composite Thermal Insulation Material and Its Preparation Method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a composite thermal insulation material and its preparation method, in particular to a cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material and its preparation method. It belongs to the field of thermal insulation materials.
Background Technology
With the increasingly worsening of global warming, the sea level is rising year by year, so the energy conservation of buildings has become an inevitable issue in the development of the construction industry. The use of thermal insulation materials is an important way to achieve energy conservation in buildings. Silica aerogel, as the solid material with the lowest density, is a research hotspot in the field of thermal insulation. By its traditional preparation method, silica aerogel is prepared from organic solvents as raw materials through supercritical drying. Such a method features high investment cost, complicated parameter control, long production time and intermittent production, Moreover, it is not safe as flammable and toxic solvent vapor may be released during the production process. In recent years, methods of preparing silica aerogel with atmospheric drying and low cost have become new research hotspots, but the quality of silica aerogel prepared via atmospheric drying needs to be improved, because such silica aerogel is easy to crack and shrink and contains many by-products. Moreover, such preparation methods need to consume a large amount of solvent and spend a long time in completing the solvent replacement process.

In some embodiments, the said cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material has a room temperature thermal conductivity of 0.13-0.27W/(m•K) and a compressive strength of 3-5MPa.
-0 The present invention provides a preparation method for the composite thermal insulation material mentioned. The method includes the following steps:
1) Mix fly ash with sodium carbonate and grind them, and then calcinate the mixture at high temperature to obtain a calcined mixture;
2) Hydrolyze the calcined mixture with a viable acid, then adjust its pH to 3 - 7, and leave it to stand still and age to form a silica gel;
3) Wash the silica gel with deionized water and then with ethanol several times in sequence, then add diatomite into washed silica gel according to the mass ratio of silica gel to diatomite at 1:1-1:5, then stir the mixture well and place it under vacuum condition to have negative pressure adsorption for 12h ~48h until the diatomite completely enters the gel, to obtain a composite material;
4) According to the volume ratio of 8:1:1-8:2:1, mix n-hexane, trimethylchlorosilane and ethanol to obtain a modification solution, and then immerse the composite material in the modification solution for modification, every 8 -24h to replace the modification solution until the composite material is suspended or floating in the modification solution, then take it out, wash with n-hexane to obtain the modified composite material;
5) Dry the modified composite material in stages: dry it at room temperature ~ 40°C for 12 - 24 hours, and then dry it at 100-130°C for 2-4 hours, and repeat such drying until constant weight, to obtain a silica aerogel-diatomite material;
6) Diatomite material, cement, polypropylene (PP) fiber, coupling agent, cellulose ether and redispersible emulsion powder are mixed under dry conditions according to the proportion specified above in relation to the composite thermal insulation material, and then water is added to the mixture and stirred evenly to obtain cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite insulation material.
In some embodiments, the mixing and grinding of fly ash and sodium carbonate mentioned in step 1) refer to mixing fly ash and sodium carbonate at a mass ratio of 1:0.8 - 1:1.5 and then grinding the mixture to below 200 mesh (74[tm).
In some embodiments, the particle size of the fly ash described in step 1) is < 200 mesh (74[m), and the high-temperature calcination treatment described in step 1) refers to the high temperature calcination treatment at 750-85 0 °Cfor 1.5-2h.

Beneficial effects: Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages:
1. The cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material provided by the present invention is prepared by making silica wet gel with fly ash and then embedding it in diatomite and finally drying the resulted mixture in stages. It overcomes the drawbacks that organic thermal insulation materials are easily flammable and inorganic thermal insulation materials have relatively high thermal conductivity, while also overcoming the shortcomings that silica aerogel has a complex preparation process, high raw material costs and a narrow application range.
2. The present invention uses silica aerogel as the thermal insulation material and diatomite as the support material of the silica aerogel. The cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material prepared by introducing the thermal insulation material into the cement material has low thermal conductivity and good thermal insulation performance, and its thermal conductivity decreases with the increasing content of the thermal insulation material silica aerogel.
3. In terms of mechanical properties, the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material provided by the present invention makes up for the drawbacks of existing silica aerogel thermal insulation materials, which have good thermal insulation performance but low strength and high cost. The strength of the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material decreases with the increasing content of thermal insulation material, and its minimum value is 3MPa, which can meet the mechanical performance requirements of masonry mortar buildings and make up for the drawbacks of existing silica aerogel thermal insulation materials, which have good thermal insulation performance but too low strength.
4. The present invention prepares cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material with a wide range of raw materials, and the preparation cost is low. It overcomes the high-cost defect in the existing technologies, and the preparation method has simple equipment, convenient operation, and is easy to industrialize.

The cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation materials (1#-13#) prepared in Embodiment cases 1-13 are off-white. For the raw materials used in Embodiment cases 1-9 and the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation materials prepared in the cases, various parameter and performance analyses include:
1. Analyze the microstructure of diatomite and silica aerogel-diatomite materials with scanning electron microscope;
2. Measure the specific surface area and pore structure of the raw materials and silica aerogel-diatomite materials with an automatic specific surface area analyzer to determine the composite effect of diatomite and silica aerogel and whether the diatomite pores are effectively filled by silica aerogel;
3. Use Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to study and analyze the chemical composition of silica aerogel-diatomite materials;
4. Use DRE-2C non-steady thermal sensor to analyze and compare the thermal conductivity of the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material and the cement slurry test block without thermal insulation material, and observe the effect of the silica aerogel-diatomite material on the thermal insulation performance of cement-based materials;
5. Use the cement constant stress flexural and compressive testing machine to measure the compressive strength of the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material.
6. Measure the changes of the thermal conductivity and compressive strength of the materials under water-saturated and dried-to-constant-weight conditions, and analyze the influence of the humid environment on the use performance of the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material.
The test results show that the content of silica aerogel-diatomite in the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material has a roughly negative correlation with the thermal conductivity and compressive strength of the composite thermal insulation material; the content of diatomite in the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material has a positive correlation with the density, thermal conductivity and compressive strength of the composite thermal Insulation material, but is negatively correlated with the specific surface area . At the same time, in a humid environment, the thermal conductivity of the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite composite thermal insulation material increases significantly, and its compressive strength decreases by about 13%, as shown in Figure 1-6:
Figure 1 shows the scanning electron microscope photographs of the surface morphology of the raw material diatomite as well as the silica aerogel-diatomite materials prepared in Embodiment cases 1-4, where a is diatomite; b, c, and d are the silica aerogel-diatomite materials prepared in Embodiment cases 1-3 in sequence; both e and f are silica aerogel-diatomite materials prepared in Embodiment case 4. From microstructure diagrams, it can be seen that diatomite has a porous pie-like structure whose surface has a sieve-like pore distribution. After the silica aerogel-diatomite material is formed, the pores of diatomite decrease, and its specific surface area is greatly reduced. It can be seen from the figure that, as the amount of diatomite increases, silica aerogel cannot completely fill the pores of diatomite and some pores are exposed.
Figure 2 shows the nitrogen adsorption and desorption curves of the raw material diatomite as well as the silica aerogel-diatomite materials prepared in Embodiment cases 1-4. It can be seen from the test results that the specific surface area of diatomite is relatively small. It is known that the specific surface area of silica aerogel is large. The most probable pore diameter of diatomite is about 4nm. It can be seen from the nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherm that most of the pores in diatomite are micropores. As the mass ratio of diatomite to silica aerogel increases, the specific surface area of the silica aerogel-diatomite material decreases from 554.465 m2/g as seen in the sample prepared in Embodiment case 1 to 84.009 m 2/g as seen in the sample prepared in Embodiment case 4, getting closer and closer to the specific surface area of diatomite, while its pore diameter is reduced to about 4nm and its nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherm is a type I isotherm, indicating that the silica aerogel-diatomite material is a microporous material and its most probable pore diameter is about 2.2nm, in line with the pore structure characteristics of silica aerogel. Combined with SEM photos, this indicated that silica aerogel can effectively fill the pores of diatomite and can be effectively adsorbed under negative pressure to form silica aerogel-diatomite material. As the amount of diatomite increases, the specific surface area of silica aerogel-diatomite material becomes smaller and smaller. This is consistent with the analysis results of scanning electron microscope photos.
Figure 3 shows the XRD test charts of the raw material diatomite, the silica aerogel prepared without diatomite as well as the silica aerogel-diatomite materials prepared in Embodiment cases 1, 2 and 4. It can be seen from thefigure that the different peak intensities of the silica aerogel-diatomite materials are caused by the different contents of diatomite in the silica aerogel-diatomite materials. The XRD diagrams of the silica aerogel-diatomite materials have no new peaks compared with those of diatomite and the silica aerogel prepared without diatomite. This indicates that adding the diatomite negative pressure adsorption after gelation did not produce any new substances in the present invention.
Figure 4 shows the FT-IR test charts of the raw material diatomite, the silica aerogel prepared without diatomite as well as the silica aerogel-diatomite materials prepared in Embodiment cases 1, 2 and 4. It can be seen that the figure is the superposition of the FT-IR test charts of diatomite and silica aerogel. At the same time, it can be seen from the figure that there is no new peak appearing. Therefore, no new substances are generated in the silica aerogel-diatomite material formed by adding diatomite into silica aerogel during the preparation process of silica aerogel, and the structure of the silica aerogel-diatomite material remains unchanged and its thermal insulation performance is stable.
Figure 5 shows the thermal conductivity analysis diagrams of the cement slurry test block and 1#-9# samples prepared in Embodiment cases 1-9. Figure 5(a) is the thermal conductivity analysis diagram of the cement slurry test block and 1#-4# samples prepared in Embodiment cases 1-4. Through the comparison between the wet environment and the completely dry environment in the figure, it can be seen that after the cement-based material is added with the silica aerogel- diatomite material, its thermal conductivity is significantly reduced no matter whether it is in the wet care condition or under constant temperature to constant weight condition. This indicates that the addition of silica aerogel-diatomite material can significantly improve the thermal insulation performance of cement. When other conditions remain unchanged, with the increase of diatomite content in silica aerogel-diatomite materials, the thermal conductivity of cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite materials gradually rises, as shown in 1# to 4#. This is because silica aerogel cannot completely cover the pores of diatomite as the diatomite content increases. When heat is transmitted, it is transmitted along the diatomite with higher thermal conductivity, forming a thermal bridge effect, leading to a significant increase in the thermal conductivity of the composite material. Figure 5(b) is the thermal conductivity analysis diagram of 5#-9# samples prepared in Embodiment cases 5-9. From the above test results, it can be concluded that, with the increasing content of silica aerogel-diatomite material, the thermal conductivity of cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite materials shows a decreasing trend, as shown in 5#-8#, but with different decrease rates. The thermal conductivity of 5#-8# samples prepared in Embodiment cases 5-9 rises significantly after water absorption, indicating that water absorption has an adverse effect on the reduction of thermal conductivity.
Figure 6 shows the compressive strength performance analysis diagrams of the cement slurry test block as well as 1#-9# samples prepared in Embodiment cases 1-9. Figure 6(a) is the compressive strength performance analysis diagrams of the cement slurry test block and as well as 1#-4# samples prepared in Embodiment cases 1-4. According to the above test results, it can be seen that the compressive strength of the cement-based silica aerogel-diatomite material is significantly lower than that of the cement slurry test block. After the cement-based composite material is added with silica aerogel-diatomite material, its compressive strength is significantly reduced. With the increase of diatomite content in the silica aerogel-diatomite material, the compressive strength of 1#-4# samples gradually increases, because the strength of diatomite is greater than that of silica aerogel. Figure 6(b) is the compressive strength performance analysis diagrams of 5#-9# samples prepared in Embodiment cases 5-9. Their compressive strength under humid conditions is about 13% lower than that under complete dry conditions. Under dry conditions, the minimum compressive strength of the samples is about 3MPa, and the maximum is 5.1MPa. After the samples are saturated with water, their compressive strength is 1.6-4.3MPa.
