Description

Normal-pressure preparation method of silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel
Technical Field
The invention relates to preparation of silicon dioxide aerogel, in particular to a normal-pressure preparation method of silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel.
Background
Silicon dioxide (SiO)2) Aerogel is a nanoporous amorphous solid state material with a spatial network structure composed of colloidal particles. The porosity of the material can reach 80-99.9%, and the pore size and the skeleton particle size are respectively 5-70 nm and 1About 50 nm. Silica aerogels have many unique properties, such as high specific surface area, high porosity, high thermal insulation, low density, and the like. Because the silicon dioxide aerogel has the unique properties, the silicon dioxide aerogel has wide and huge application prospects in the fields of optics, heat insulation, acoustics, catalyst carriers, microelectronics, chemical engineering, aerospace and the like.
In the process of preparing silica aerogel, the key process is the drying process of the wet gel. Due to the existence of capillary force and the high water vapor pressure in the nano pores of the aerogel, the wet gel is easy to shrink and deform and crack in the drying process, and a complete silica aerogel block is difficult to obtain. Although the supercritical drying method, which is widely used in industry, can effectively prepare silica aerogel, the equipment used is expensive and complicated to operate, and tens to hundreds of atmospheric pressures are used, which causes great danger and makes continuous mass production difficult. In order to realize the atmospheric drying method for preparing the silica aerogel, the following methods are generally adopted: the method has the advantages of enhancing the skeleton strength of a gel network, enabling holes in the gel to be uniform through a chemical method, and reducing capillary force applied to the gel during drying through solvent replacement and surface modification.
However, the modification of the hydrophilic groups in the pores of the wet gel is greatly influenced by the concentration of the surface-modifying agent: the high concentration causes the reaction to be too fast, the pressure in the hole is too high, and the aerogel framework is cracked in the modification stage; the initial concentration of the modifying agent is reduced, and the concentration of the modifying agent is gradually reduced at the later stage of the reaction, so that the modification cannot be complete. Both of these conditions lead to cracking of the aerogel during drying, and only a granular aerogel mass can be obtained.
Meanwhile, because the mechanical properties of the pure silica aerogel are poor, glass fibers, aluminum silicate fibers and mullite fibers are generally adopted as reinforcing agents to improve the mechanical strength of the aerogel. Because high-alkali glass fiber and aluminum silicate refractory fiber materials are seriously damaged to human skin and respiratory system after being pulverized at high temperature, the materials are determined as CMR2 carcinogens by the REACH regulation in 2011 and are greatly limited in application of building heat insulation and the like. The natural fiber has the characteristics of environmental protection, low cost and the like, and becomes a hot research point for reinforcing aerogel materials in recent years.
For example, the silica aerogel with stable pores and a skeleton structure is prepared by drying sepiolite fibers as a reinforcing agent under normal pressure in the Chinese patent with the publication number of CN 105272143A. The Chinese patent with publication number CN105565774B adopts an amino-terminated agent to firstly carry out surface modification on halloysite to eliminate hydrophilic hydroxyl, then carries out framework reinforcement through dimethylformamide, and finally needs to carry out organic solvent replacement and carbon dioxide supercritical extraction to prepare the high-strength silica aerogel. The methods can prepare the aerogel with better heat insulation performance, but the silicon dioxide aerogel prepared by normal pressure drying is usually incompletely modified, the obtained aerogel is granular aerogel fragments, and the whole aerogel is difficult to prepare. Meanwhile, the supercritical method has expensive equipment and complex operation, and is difficult to carry out continuous large-scale production.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a normal-pressure preparation method of silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel, which overcomes the problem that powder and small fragments of aerogel occur in the preparation of general normal-pressure drying methods, and realizes the preparation of silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite monolithic aerogel with hydrophobic or hydrophilic characteristics under normal pressure.
The invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a normal pressure preparation method of silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel comprises the following steps:
(1) uniformly mixing an organic silicon precursor, absolute ethyl alcohol and deionized water, adding an acidic catalyst until the pH value is 2-3, and hydrolyzing to obtain silicon dioxide sol;
(2) adding the attapulgite fiber subjected to acid pickling pretreatment, uniformly mixing, adjusting the pH to 6-8 by using a carbonate/ammonia water mixed solution, transferring to a mold, standing to obtain silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite hydrogel, and aging;
(3) taking out the silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite hydrogel from the mold, and soaking the hydrogel in a sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution for solvent replacement;
(4) and taking out the silica/attapulgite fiber composite hydrogel after solvent replacement, and fully drying to obtain the hydrophilic silica/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel.
Wherein, in the step (2), the aging temperature is 20-60 ℃ and the aging time is 24-48 hours.
Wherein, in the step (3), the replacement time is 12-24 hours.
In step (1), the organosilicon precursor: anhydrous ethanol: the deionized water is mixed in a molar ratio of 1: 7-15: 4 to 8. Ethanol is used to adjust the concentration of the organosilicon precursor.
In the step (1), the acidic catalyst is selected from one or a combination of at least two of hydrochloric acid, acetic acid and oxalic acid.
Preferably, the acid catalyst is a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and oxalic acid, and the volume ratio of the mixed solution is 3: 1.
In the present invention, both the acid and the base can promote the hydrolysis reaction of the organosilicon precursor to produce the silica sol, but the basic catalyst has much stronger catalytic action on the hydrolysis reaction than the acid. The reaction speed is too fast by adopting a stronger catalyst, which is not beneficial to the amplification of the production process.
In the step (2), the diameter of the attapulgite fiber is 20-40 nm, and the length is 0.5-1.5 μm.
The attapulgite fiber is a porous chain-layered water-containing Fumei aluminosilicate clay mineral, and the natural attapulgite fiber is acicular, fibrous or fiber-aggregated, has a diameter of 10-60 nm, a length of up to micrometer, and a relatively large length-diameter ratio; compared with widely used glass fiber, the glass fiber has the characteristics of no toxicity, no harm, good biocompatibility, low price, rich sources and the like; the attapulgite fiber contains a large amount of OH groups, can be well combined with the Si-O-Si framework of the silicon dioxide aerogel, and is beneficial to the composition of the attapulgite fiber and the silicon dioxide aerogel.
The attapulgite fiber with the diameter of 20-40 nanometers and the length of 0.5-1.5 micrometers is selected, so that the function of enhancing the aerogel framework structure can be achieved, and cracks can not be generated in the aerogel framework due to the too large diameter.
In the step (2), the mass of the attapulgite fibers is 3-20% of that of the silica aerogel. The mass of the silicon dioxide aerogel is a theoretical value calculated by an organic silicon precursor. The attapulgite fiber can not be uniformly dispersed in the sol and can be settled at the bottom of the sol due to excessively high mass fraction, and the reinforcing effect on the silica aerogel framework is not obvious due to excessively low mass fraction.
In the step (2), the carbonate in the carbonate/ammonia water mixed solution is selected from one or a combination of at least two of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and ammonium bicarbonate. The volume ratio of the carbonate to the ammonia water is 1: 5.
Preferably, the carbonate/ammonia water mixed solution is a mixed solution of sodium carbonate and ammonia water.
In the step (3), the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution is 0.04-0.16 g/ml.
In step (3), the aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution displaces water and ethanol in the pores of the aerogel, and during the subsequent drying process, the sodium bicarbonate decomposes to generate carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide gas in the micropores of the aerogel is not only beneficial to discharging water, but also can provide proper micropore pressure to inhibit the fragmentation of a silicon dioxide framework, and the integrity of the dried aerogel is ensured.
In the step (3), the sodium bicarbonate in the sodium bicarbonate water solution starts to be gradually decomposed at the temperature of more than 50 ℃ to generate carbon dioxide gas, and the carbon dioxide gas can be completely decomposed at the temperature of 270 ℃. Wherein, no carbon dioxide gas is generated before drying in the step (3), which is beneficial to the preparation of wet gel.
In the step (4), the silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel is dried at 50-70 ℃ for 10-20 min, washed by deionized water and dried at 80-270 ℃ to obtain the hydrophilic silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel.
Preferably, after being washed by deionized water, the hydrophilic silica/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel is obtained by drying at 120 ℃ and 270 ℃ in sequence. The carbon dioxide gas generation rate is neutralized to ensure that the sodium bicarbonate is completely decomposed.
Preferably, the organosilicon precursor: anhydrous ethanol: the deionized water is mixed in a molar ratio of 1: 10-15: 6, the mass of the attapulgite fiber is 15-20% of that of the silicon dioxide aerogel, and the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution is 0.1-0.14 g/ml. Under the cooperation of the various conditions, the prepared silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel has better heat-conducting property and compression property.
The normal pressure preparation method also comprises the following steps: and (3) soaking the hydrophilic silica/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel in a silane coupling agent solution for surface modification, and drying to obtain the hydrophobic silica/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel.
The silane coupling agent solution is selected from one or the combination of at least two of aminopropyltriethoxysilane, aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, silanetriol sodium propionate, N- [ (3-trimethoxysilyl) propyl ] ethylenediamine trisodium triacetate and trimethylchlorosilane solution.
According to the normal pressure preparation method of the silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel, provided by the invention, carbon dioxide gas is generated through reaction in the holes of silicon dioxide gel, and a method combining certain pressure filling and natural fiber modification is adopted, so that the silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite block aerogel with hydrophobic or hydrophilic characteristics is obtained; the defects of large investment, low efficiency and safety and the like of the traditional supercritical drying process are overcome, the problems of shrinkage, deformation and serious rupture in the conventional normal-pressure preparation process are solved, and the normal-pressure drying preparation of the whole aerogel is realized.
The silicon dioxide/attapulgite fiber composite aerogel prepared by the method has the characteristics of no fragmentation, uniform pore size distribution, low thermal conductivity, good mechanical property and the like; the invention can carry out normal pressure drying without time-consuming repeated solvent replacement and surface modification, shortens the preparation period, saves the production cost and is convenient for industrial production.
