Description

Supercritical drying preparation method of silicon dioxide aerogel thermal insulation material
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of macromolecules, and particularly relates to a supercritical drying preparation method of a silicon dioxide aerogel thermal insulation material.
Background
Silica aerogel is a light nano-porous material with a controllable structure, and has many excellent properties, such as high porosity, high specific surface area, low density, low thermal conductivity, and the like. Silica aerogel prepared at home and abroad is usually prepared by taking methyl orthosilicate, ethyl orthosilicate or water glass as raw materials and adopting a sol-gel method and drying under normal pressure, for example, mesoporous silica aerogel materials are prepared by taking organic or inorganic silicon sources as precursors in Chinese patents 200810042222.4, 200910042159.5, 20123519. X, CN201210121968.0, CN201210114691.9 and the like. The method has the common problems of long preparation period, incapability of preparing hydrophilic materials, weak continuous production capacity and the like, and is not beneficial to large-scale operation.
Chen nations, Zhang Jun et al (Chinese patent, application No. 201210078237.2) disclose a method for preparing silica aerogel by aging and supercritical drying of tetraethoxysilane and silica sol as raw materials. However, the temperature of the supercritical drying mode is up to 250 ℃, the pressure is 22MPa, a large amount of energy is consumed, the operation is dangerous, and the cost of the aerogel is greatly increased by adopting tetraethyl orthosilicate as a silicon source, and the supercritical drying mode is not beneficial to large-scale production; similarly, chinese patent application No. 201510911661.4 discloses a supercritical drying method using a solvent, and the pressure and temperature are relatively high, and the silicon source also uses an expensive organic silicon source, which results in an increase in the production cost of the aerogel.
In summary, the technology for preparing the silica aerogel by supercritical drying at the present stage uses an organic silicon source as a precursor, and the preparation cost is high, so that the price of the silica aerogel in the current market is high.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a supercritical drying preparation method of low-density silicon dioxide aerogel, which greatly reduces the solvent exchange time and the production cost and shortens the preparation period by supercritical drying.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows: a supercritical drying preparation method of a silicon dioxide aerogel thermal insulation material is characterized by comprising the following steps: the method comprises the following steps:
1) firstly, diluting a water glass solution by using a certain amount of deionized water;
2) slowly adding the diluted water glass solution into a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution, and continuously stirring to uniformly mix the diluted water glass solution and the concentrated hydrochloric acid solution to obtain a strong-acid silica sol;
3) rotationally evaporating partial water of the acidic silica sol solution, taking out, adding a water-soluble polar solvent with low surface tension, stirring to uniformly mix, and adding a certain amount of the water glass solution obtained in the step 1) to adjust the pH value of the solution to 5.5-6 to form gel;
4) adding a water-soluble polar solvent into the gel obtained in the step 3), aging the gel for 2-12 hours, then placing the obtained wet gel into an extraction kettle, sealing the extraction kettle at high pressure, and introducing supercritical CO2Contacting with wet gel, extracting and drying for 2-5 h.
According to the scheme, the water glass solution in the step 1) is sodium water glass, lithium water glass or potassium water glass, the modulus of the water glass solution is 2.5-3.55, and the volume ratio of the water glass solution to deionized water is 1: 0.5-1: 3.
According to the scheme, the concentration of the concentrated hydrochloric acid used in the step 2) is 8-12mol/L, and the stirring speed is 300-600 r/min.
According to the scheme, the concentration of the concentrated hydrochloric acid used in the step 2) is 12 mol/L.
According to the scheme, the pH value of the strong-acid silica sol obtained in the step 2) is less than 1.5.
According to the scheme, the rotary evaporation temperature in the step 3) is 40-75 ℃, and the rotary evaporation time is 2-15 min.
According to the scheme, the water-soluble polar solvent in the step 3) and the step 4) is ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, propanol or acetone.
According to the scheme, the water glass solution in the step 3) is sodium water glass, lithium water glass or potassium water glass, and the concentration of the water glass solution can be 3-5.5 mol/L.
According to the scheme, the temperature in the extraction kettle in the step 4) can be 35-45 ℃, and the pressure can be 7.4-8.5 MPa.
The invention adopts cheap water glass as a silicon source, and the silica sol can be mutually dissolved with organic solvents such as ethanol and the like by modifying the pH value of the silica sol to form sol and gel which take the organic solvents as main solvents. By consulting relevant documents, the ratio of the solubility of the solvent of supercritical carbon dioxide to ethanol and the like to the solubility of water is about 10, and the organic solvent and water can be extracted just once, so that the aim of solvent exchange is fulfilled. The fluid in the pores of the gel is totally changed into CO after the extraction is finished2CO can be made by changing the temperature and pressure2The supercritical state is directly changed into the gaseous state, and the capillary pressure is always 0 during the process again, so that the high-quality silicon dioxide aerogel is obtained.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the method takes cheap industrial water glass as a precursor, adopts an innovative process flow, takes an organic solvent as a main solvent thereof, obtains wet gel, and greatly shortens the solvent exchange time and the preparation cost. Most of the silicon dioxide aerogels sold in the market at present are prepared by a supercritical drying mode, a silicon source used by the silicon dioxide aerogels is tetraethyl orthosilicate, and the price of the reagent is high and is more than 100 times that of water glass. Part of aerogel is prepared by adopting a normal pressure drying mode, although the mode can also use water glass as a silicon source, the method can only prepare hydrophobic aerogel (which cannot resist high temperature and is used below 250 ℃), can not prepare high temperature resistant clear water type aerogel, the preparation period is long (more than 1.5 days), and the process can be completed in half a day.
