A kind of method for purifying superfine montmorillonite
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method for purifying superfine montmorillonite, belong to the deep process technology field of montmorillonite.
Background technology
Montmorillonite (montmorillonite) has another name called montmorillonite, is the silicate clay ore deposit of a kind of laminate structure, plate crystal, and the city names because of its illiteracy that is found in France is at first taken off, and forms by natural volcanic ash is rotten in geological age.The montmorillonite particle is tiny, about 0.2-1 micron, and tool colloid dispersing characteristic is bulk or earthy aggregate output usually.Observe under electron microscope, crystal belongs to oblique system, generally is irregular sheet.Color is a white band light gray, is with light blue or light red sometimes, the gloss dimness; Mohs' hardness 2-2.5, proportion 2-2.7.Have very strong adsorptive power and ion-exchange capacity, also have colloidality, plasticity-and the cohesive force of height simultaneously, and water-absorbent is very strong, add water and expand, volume can increase several times to tens times.Montmorillonite is widely used in more than 100 departments in 24 fields such as metallurgy, electromechanics, chemical industry, building, coating, oil, weaving, food, water conservancy, traffic, medicine, papermaking, environment protection, novel material, daily necessities, agricultural and livestock industry because of its distinctive physics-chem characteristic; 300 multiple products are arranged, thereby people are referred to as " omnipotent soil ".
Montmorillonite is the main component of bentonite composition, in the natural wilkinite mainly by mineral compositions such as montmorillonite, quartz, feldspar, calcite, kaolinite and illites, smectite content is high more in wilkinite, and mineral deposit quality and effect are good more, and added value is also high more.Therefore, the preparation of high-purity montmorillonite is a focus in montmorillonite deep processing field always.
Superfine nanoization is the inexorable trend of montmorillonite deep process technology development, along with making rapid progress of scientific technological advance, wilkinite equally must be through after the superfine grinding with most non-metallic minerals, reach its functional effect of the nano level fineness competence exertion of micron order, have that specific surface area is big, surfactivity is high, chemical reaction velocity is fast, a good physical and chemical performance such as suspension and good stability, filler reinforcement performance are good, hiding rare height.And satisfy the service requirements of other field.The granularity of the inorganic nonmetal mineral fillers such as wilkinite that require as the functional fiber filler is D
97≤ 2 μ m, maximum particle diameter≤3 μ m; The superpolymer based composites is used also requires wilkinite product granularity D
50≤ 1 μ m, D
97≤ 5~6 μ m.
The montmorillonite method of purification of bibliographical information mainly contains following 5 kinds at present:
1, utilizes the proportion of montmorillonite and impure mineral and the dry purification technology that particle diameter difference is carried out crushing and classification.Because the mutual parcel of impure mineral and montmorillonite, its proportion is also comparatively close, causes particulate impurity separation difficulty, so this method montmorillonite purity raising is limited, and quality product is not good enough.
2, chemical purification method: United States Patent (USP) 3865240 has been introduced a kind of with the sodium hexametaphosphate solution bentonitic method of purifying, and this method changes the viscosity of bentonite slurry liquid system by adding dispersion agent, and the bigger impure mineral of proportion is precipitated.Though this method has reduced the purity of wilkinite slurry, help contamination precipitation, but can not effectively disperse the montmorillonite that wraps up mutually with impure mineral, thereby cause montmorillonite and impurity coprecipitation to get off, the selected efficient of montmorillonite is low, is difficult to obtain greater than the montmorillonite product more than 90%.Owing to containing the phosphoric acid salt dispersion agent, product restricted its application in addition at aspects such as makeup.
3, centrifugal method of purification: carbonato low-grade bentonite raw ore is broken into the grade of 0-5mm in crusher, sends into then and add water in the rotary gas separator and stir and make suspension.The rotating speed of delivering to then in the precipitate and separate device with 1250r/min stirs 2min, 35% montmorillonite is separated, remaining suspension liquid enters in another rotation separate and subside device, rotating speed with 3000r/min changes 2min, 45% montmorillonite is separated, and remaining suspension enters the dry montmorillonite product that gets in the moisture eliminator.Though this method can obtain purity greater than 90% montmorillonite product, because the wilkinite suspension property is limited, through multiple fractionation, productive rate is very low, causes a large amount of wastes of montmorillonite, and water consumption is consuming time.
4, the centrifugal again method of purification of first sodium: this method is general carries out sodium to wilkinite earlier and handles, and then with the method for centrifugal classification, obtains the higher na-montmorillonite of purity.This method sodium is handled more loaded down with trivial details, and extruding sodium method need wear out and improve the wilkinite dispersing property, and the power consumption of solution sodium method water consumption, the wilkinite dispersiveness after the processing improves limited.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide that a kind of technology is simple, production efficiency is high, production cost is low, good product performance, is easy to realize the method for purifying superfine montmorillonite of scale operation.
The present invention is a kind of method for purifying superfine montmorillonite, it is characterized in that wilkinite raw ore and water are mixed with slurries by the concentration of weight ratio 1:2~9 of wilkinite raw ore and water, in whipping device, cross 100~325 mesh sieves after the soaking and stirring slurrying and remove large granular impurity, then slurries inputs is delaminated and carry out ultra-fine delaminating in machine, ball mill, stirring mill or the sand mill, the classified sizing of equipment of slurries after ultra-fine the delaminating is removed fine sand and is got the high pure and ultra-fine slurries, and dehydration, drying and crushing get the high pure and ultra-fine montmorillonite at last; Slurries size-grade distribution after described ultra-fine the delaminating is: D
50≤ 1.5 μ m, D
75≤ 2 μ m.
