Description

Ceramic microsphere and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic forming, and particularly relates to a ceramic microsphere and a preparation method thereof.
Background
CN104671797A discloses an internal gelation method for preparing ceramic microspheres with stable colloidal liquid at normal temperature. In order to improve the normal temperature stability of the glue solution, the method controls the concentration of urea at a lower level, wherein the molar ratio of metal salt, hexamethylenetetramine and urea is 1 (1.1-1.3): (0.3-0.7).
However, because the concentration of urea is too low, the amount of urea-formaldehyde resin generated by the reaction of urea and hexamethylenetetramine decomposition product-formaldehyde is correspondingly reduced, and the overall supporting effect of urea-formaldehyde resin on the formed gel is correspondingly weak, so that for some metal ions (such as uranium), good gel balls are difficult to form by adopting the method, the yield of ceramic microspheres is reduced, and the large-scale application of the internal gelling process cannot be realized.
In addition, the method uses organic solvent harmful to human and environment for many times to wash the aged gel balls, thereby improving the cost of wastewater treatment.
Disclosure of Invention
The first purpose of the invention is to propose a novel ceramic microsphere.
The ceramic microspheres are obtained by glue solution through an internal gelling process; the glue solution comprises metal ions, hexamethylenetetramine and urea; wherein the glue solution also comprises complexing agent acetylacetone or derivatives thereof.
According to the invention, researches show that the complexing agent is added, so that the stability of the glue solution at normal temperature can be prolonged, the urea content can be increased, more urea-formaldehyde resin is generated, and the supporting effect is improved, so that the strength of the gel ball is improved, and the condition of cracking and even fragmentation in subsequent treatment is avoided. The ceramic microspheres obtained by the invention have the advantages of uniform size, good sphericity and no cracking on the surface, and the nozzle is not blocked in the preparation process, the yield is high, and the industrialized mass production can be realized.
Specifically, the invention firstly proposes that acetylacetone or derivatives thereof as a specific complexing agent are added into the glue solution for the internal gelling process, and the promotion effect of metal ions on the decomposition of hexamethylenetetramine can be delayed through the specific complexing capacity between the acetylacetone or the derivatives thereof and the metal ions. Research results show that specific complexing ability exists between acetylacetone or derivatives thereof and metal ions, the complexing ability can prevent the metal ions from further promoting accelerated decomposition of hexamethylenetetramine, improve stability, prolong storage time at normal temperature, and ensure normal operation of subsequent gelling and dispersion of glue solution, thereby providing a favorable basis for large-scale application of an internal gelling process and obtaining better technical effects. And the addition of the complexing agent can also reduce the limit of the existing internal gelation process on the molar ratio of urea to hexamethylenetetramine, and solve the problems that the existing glue solution has low gel strength due to too low urea content, and is easy to crack or even break in subsequent treatment.
Preferably, the complexing agent is one or more of acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, methyl acetoacetate and the like; further preferably acetylacetone, which can form more suitable complexing ability with metal ions to further prevent the accelerated decomposition of hexamethylenetetramine and prolong the storage time at normal temperature.
Preferably, the molar ratio of the complexing agent to the metal ions is (0.1-2): 1, preferably (0.5-2): 1, can form more suitable complexing ability with metal ions to further prevent the accelerated decomposition of hexamethylenetetramine and prolong the storage time at normal temperature. Further, considering the production cost comprehensively, the molar ratio of the complexing agent to the metal ions is (0.5-0.6): 1.
preferably, the molar ratio of the urea to the hexamethylenetetramine is 1: (0.8-1).
We have found that in the reaction process of urea-formaldehyde resin production by the reaction of hexamethylenetetramine decomposition product-formaldehyde and urea, there are many technical factors (such as hexamethylenetetramine decomposition rate, formaldehyde volatilization rate and reaction degree of formaldehyde and urea) which affect the synthesis of urea-formaldehyde resin, and further affect the strength of gel beads. By controlling the molar ratio of the urea to the hexamethylenetetramine within a proper range, more urea-formaldehyde resin can be formed by the formaldehyde decomposed by the urea and the hexamethylenetetramine, so that the strength of the gel ball is increased.
Particularly, in the process of preparing ceramic microspheres by uranyl ions, because the structure of the uranyl ions is a linear structure formed by two oxygen atoms and one uranium ion (the two oxygen atoms already occupy the upper and lower sites of uranium), during hydrolysis, hydroxyl groups can only be combined with the uranium ions from a plane perpendicular to an O-U-O straight line, the structure of a body type polymer is difficult to form by bridging the hydroxyl groups like zirconium ions, and the formed gel is relatively soft, and cracks or even fragmentation can occur in subsequent treatment. The problem can be effectively solved by reasonably controlling the adding proportion of the urea and the hexamethylene tetramine.
In the glue solution, the concentration of the metal ions is 0.8-1.5mol/L, and the molar ratio of the metal ions to hexamethylene tetramine is 1: (1-1.2).
As one embodiment of the present invention, the glue solution includes: 0.8-1.5mol/L of metal ions, 0.8-1.8mol/L of hexamethylenetetramine, 0.8-1.8mol/L of urea and 0.1-1mol/L of complexing agent; and the molar ratio of the complexing agent to the metal ions is (0.5-0.6): 1, the molar ratio of the urea to the hexamethylenetetramine is 1: (0.8-1). Research shows that the glue solution has better stability at normal temperature and higher gel ball strength, and can effectively avoid the occurrence of cracking and even fragmentation in subsequent treatment.
The metal ions are ions of one or more of uranium, zirconium, yttrium, iron, lanthanum, manganese, zinc, palladium or titanium; preferably, the metal ion is selected from uranium ions. Research shows that compared with the existing uranium-containing glue solution, the uranium-containing glue solution has better stability at normal temperature and higher gel strength.
As one embodiment of the present invention, the glue solution includes: 1.3-1.5mol/L of uranium ions, 1.4-1.6mol/L of hexamethylenetetramine, 1.4-1.6mol/L of urea and 0.7-0.9mol/L of acetylacetone; and the molar ratio of the complexing agent to the metal ions is (0.5-0.6): 1; further preferably, the molar ratio of the urea to the hexamethylenetetramine is 1: (0.8-1).
In order to further improve the stability of the glue solution at normal temperature, the glue solution also comprises an additive.
The additive is one or a combination of more of aldehyde, ketone, aldose, ketose, secondary amine or arylamine, preferably fructose, glucose and the like; the molar ratio of the additive to the metal ions is (0.1-2): 1, the stability of the glue solution at normal temperature can be further improved.
As one embodiment of the present invention, the glue solution includes: 0.8-1.5mol/L of metal ions, 0.8-1.8mol/L of hexamethylenetetramine, 0.8-1.8mol/L of urea, 0.1-1mol/L of complexing agent and 0.1-1mol/L of additive; and the molar ratio of the complexing agent to the metal ions is (0.1-2): 1; further preferably, the molar ratio of the urea to the hexamethylenetetramine is 1: (0.8-1).
As one embodiment of the present invention, the glue solution includes: 1.3-1.5mol/L of uranium ions, 1.4-1.6mol/L of hexamethylenetetramine, 1.4-1.6mol/L of urea, 0.7-0.9mol/L of acetylacetone and 0.7-0.9mol/L of additives; and the molar ratio of the complexing agent to the metal ions is (0.5-0.6): 1; further preferably, the molar ratio of the urea to the hexamethylenetetramine is 1: (0.8-1).
The second purpose of the invention is to provide a preparation method of the glue solution, which comprises the following steps: mixing hexamethylenetetramine and urea in water at room temperature to form a first mixed solution; uniformly mixing metal salt, concentrated acid and a complexing agent in water to form a second mixed solution; and uniformly mixing the first mixed solution and the second mixed solution to form a glue solution.
In the first mixed solution, the concentration of hexamethylene tetramine is 1.6-3.2 mol/L, and the concentration of urea is 1.6-3.2 mol/L.
In the second mixed solution, the concentration of the metal salt is 1.2-3 mol/L, and the molar ratio of the complexing agent to the metal ions is (0.1-2): 1.
wherein the concentrated acid is an acid corresponding to the anion of the metal salt, for example, nitrate corresponds to concentrated nitric acid, and chloride corresponds to hydrochloric acid.
The volume ratio of the first mixed liquid to the second mixed liquid is 2: 3-3: 2.
The second purpose of the invention is to provide a preparation method of the ceramic microspheres.
The preparation method of the ceramic microspheres comprises the following steps: dispersing the glue solution into hot silicone oil to obtain gel balls, and aging, washing, drying and sintering to obtain ceramic microspheres; wherein the detergent used for washing is a nonionic surfactant.
The invention adopts the nonionic surfactant to replace the organic solvent (such as trichloroethylene and propylene glycol monomethyl ether) in the prior art to remove the silicone oil on the surface of the gel ball, thereby not only reducing the wastewater treatment cost, but also greatly improving the production environment.
Preferably, the nonionic surfactant is a tween or triton.
Preferably, when the nonionic surfactant is a tween, the concentration is 1 to 2 wt%.
Preferably, the washing temperature is 40-80 ℃, preferably 60-65 ℃, and the washing effect is better.
As one embodiment of the present invention, the washing process is as follows:
(1) continuously washing the aged gel spheres three times with a nonionic surfactant, each washing lasting at least 20 minutes;
(2) washing the gel balls obtained in the step (1) with 0.1-1mol/L ammonia water until the conductivity of the washing waste liquid is less than 600 mu S/cm; preferably 0.5-0.6mol/L ammonia water;
(3) washing the gel balls obtained in the step (2) by deionized water until the conductivity of the washing waste liquid is less than 10 mu S/cm;
(4) placing the gel balls obtained in the step (3) in a reaction kettle containing deionized water, preserving the heat at 200 ℃ for 3 hours, and cooling to room temperature;
(5) and (4) washing the gel balls obtained in the step (4) by using deionized water until the conductivity of the washing waste liquid is less than 10 mu S/cm.
Research shows that the washing times can be reduced, the procedure can be simplified and the efficiency can be improved by setting the washing procedure.
The drying is carried out in a vacuum drying mode. The vacuum drying conditions are as follows: 50-55 ℃ and is more than or equal to 12 hours under the vacuum condition. Research shows that under the condition, the drying effect is better, the efficiency is higher, and the obtained ceramic microspheres are not easy to crack.
Preferably, the sintering adopts a three-stage gradient sintering method, so that the ceramic microspheres have better compactness, more uniform surface size and better sphericity; the specific sintering system may be determined according to the compound.
Further preferably, for the metal ion uranium, the sintering comprises: roasting for 6-7h at 550-560 ℃ in air atmosphere; reducing for 6-7h at 750-760 ℃ in a hydrogen atmosphere; sintering at 1600 ℃ in an argon atmosphere until dense ceramic microspheres are formed.
Further preferably, in the sintering process, the heating rate is controlled to be 2-3 ℃/min, and the temperature is respectively kept at 100 ℃, 300 ℃, 400 ℃ and 450 ℃ for 2 hours, so that cracking of the ceramic microspheres caused by too fast heat release or absorption is avoided, and the high-quality ceramic microspheres are more favorably obtained.
The temperature of the silicone oil is 85-90 ℃. Research shows that under the temperature condition, the glue solution has better dispersibility, is quickly gelled and solidified into gel balls, and is more beneficial to improving the efficiency of the ceramic microspheres.
The aging conditions are as follows: 80-90 ℃ for 0.5-1 h.
In order to prepare the ceramic microspheres of metal carbide or nitride, one or a combination of several of macromolecular organic matters, carbon powder or surfactants can be added into the glue solution.
Furthermore, the macromolecular organic matters are mainly various sugars, starch or melamine and the like, and the addition amount is 50-500 g/L.
Furthermore, the high molecular organic matter is mainly water-soluble phenolic resin or epoxy resin and the like, and the addition amount is 20-200 g/L;
further, the adding amount of the carbon powder can be determined according to the stoichiometric ratio of the metal carbothermic reduction reaction, and the adding amount of the carbon powder is less than the amount of the carbon powder required by the metal carbothermic reduction.
Further, the surfactant may be Triton X-100, Tergitol XD, or the like.
