Description

Silicon nitride ceramic with hierarchical pore structure and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of preparation of porous ceramics, in particular to silicon nitride ceramics with a hierarchical pore structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, the industrial pollution problem in China is increasingly serious, and the illegal discharge of industrial dust is particularly prominent. Industrial dust is mainly derived from mechanical crushing and grinding of solid materials, mixing, screening, packaging and transporting of powdery materials, smoke and dust generated by combustion of materials and the like. The particle size distribution of such dusts is often several hundred microns to several hundred nanometers, wherein the emissions from particles with a particle size below 10 μm are a serious health hazard, especially toxic metal and non-metal dusts (chromium, manganese, cadmium, lead, mercury, arsenic, etc.) can cause poisoning or death. In addition, the random emission of industrial dust also contributes to the pollution of PM10 and PM2.5 in the atmosphere. Therefore, it is important to develop an effective removal technique of industrial dust.
Common industrial dust removal methods include mechanical dust removal (including gravity settling, inertial dust removal, cyclone dust removal and the like), filtration dust removal, wet gas scrubbing, electrostatic dust removal, and new dust removal methods developed in recent years, such as composite dust removal, magnetic dust removal, electrocoagulation dust removal technology and the like. For the smoke dust (PM below 2.5) with small particle size emitted by primary stages of smelting plants, power plants and the like, the temperature is very high, the requirement on equipment is strict by adopting a conventional dust removal method, and the method adopting filtration is more effective. This puts harsh requirements on the filter material, such as good chemical stability and thermal stability, strong acid and corrosion resistance, and no destructive chemical reaction with the powder at room temperature and high temperature; light weight and high strength; the porosity is high, the permeability is good, and the pore size gradient distribution is reasonable; low cost, easy processing and forming, etc.
The porous silicon nitride ceramic has the advantages of high temperature resistance, high oxidation resistance temperature, good mechanical property, thermal shock resistance, wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and excellent comprehensive performance, and is one of ideal materials of a high-temperature smoke dust filtering device. Porous silicon nitride ceramics are structurally classified into single-stage homogeneous and gradient porous. The single-stage homogeneous porous structure has a certain effect on filtering smoke dust, but the effective filtering of the smoke dust with wide particle size distribution is difficult to realize. The porosity or aperture or pore structure of the gradient porous structure is regularly changed along with the size of a sample, the asymmetric structure easily realizes small aperture and large ventilation, has the characteristics of high filtering precision, large ventilation coefficient and good backwashing effect, can greatly improve the filtering precision and the filtering efficiency when being used in the field of filtering separation, is particularly suitable for the separation of mixed fluid containing fine particles, such as high temperature, corrosivity and the like, high-temperature flue gas dust removal, fine filtration and the like, and is more and more emphasized by people.
Patent CN102417366A discloses a pore gradient porous SiC ceramic and a preparation method thereof, wherein a pore-forming agent and fine SiC particles are mixed and stirred uniformly according to different proportions, then mixed powder with different proportions is spread layer by layer on a metal mold, and the mixed powder is sintered after compression molding to obtain the gradient porous SiC ceramic. Patent CN101323528A discloses a method for preparing a gradient SiC ceramic tube with continuous pores, which comprises injecting uniformly dispersed gel-casting suspension into a mold for centrifugation, heating the suspension slurry under the action of centrifugal force to perform gelation reaction, curing and molding, and demolding, drying and sintering the wet blank to obtain the gradient SiC ceramic tube with continuous pores. Patent CN104311114A discloses a vacuum foaming and freeze drying combined technology for preparing gradient porous silicon nitride ceramics, which is prepared by mixing silicon nitride powder, sintering aid, binder and water, ball milling, vacuum foaming, freeze drying and high temperature sintering. The first two processes mainly introduce preparation methods of silicon carbide gradient porous materials, while the third process requires preparation under low temperature conditions, the production cost is high, and the pore structure of the obtained material has no obvious gradient change along with the size of a sample. How to simply and inexpensively construct the gradient porous structure with adjustable microstructure is a difficult problem.
