FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a preparation process of a silicon aerogel flame retardant.
Detailed Description
To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention adopted to achieve the predetermined objects, the following detailed description of the embodiments, structures, characteristics and effects of the silicon aerogel flame retardant, the preparation method and the application thereof according to the present invention are provided with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
The invention provides a preparation method of a silicon aerogel flame retardant, which comprises the following steps as shown in the attached figure 1:
firstly, respectively preparing a first solution and a second solution, and then uniformly mixing the first solution and the second solution to obtain the silica hydrosol.
The first solution is prepared by adding a phosphoric acid catalyst into an organic silicon source solution under the condition of stirring to perform hydrolysis reaction for 1-3 h; the organic silicon source solution comprises an organic silicon source, absolute ethyl alcohol and deionized water; wherein the organic silicon source can be methoxy silane or ethoxy silane containing methyl, ethyl and vinyl; the organic silicon source and deionized water are subjected to hydrolysis reaction in the presence of a phosphoric acid catalyst, namely, methoxysilane or ethoxysilane in the organic silicon source reacts with water to generate silanol and micromolecular byproducts such as methanol, ethanol and the like; in view of the toxicity of methanol and the difference between methanol and the ethanol environment in the hydrolysis reaction environment designed by the technical scheme of the invention, in order to avoid a byproduct separation process, the organic silicon source is preferably selected from at least one of methyltriethoxysilane, dimethyldiethoxysilane, trimethylethoxysilane, triethylethoxysilane, diethyldiethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane and vinyl ethoxysilane, that is, the organic silicon source only contains ethoxysilane and does not contain methoxysilane, so that the byproduct of the hydrolysis reaction only comprises ethanol, and the separation and disposal of the byproduct are not needed. Due to the fact that the organic silicon source contains a plurality of methyl groups, ethyl groups or vinyl groups, a chain-type growing silicon-oxygen-silicon network structure can be formed through hydrolysis reaction.
In order to strictly control the progress of the hydrolysis reaction, the molar ratio of the organic silicon source, the absolute ethyl alcohol and the deionized water in the organic silicon source solution is preferably 1: 8-10: 15 to 20; the molar concentration of the phosphoric acid catalyst is 0.01-1 mol/L; adding a phosphoric acid catalyst into the organic silicon source solution while stirring, and adjusting the pH value of the reaction system to be 2.0-4.0.
The phosphoric acid belongs to medium and strong acid, the crystallization point (freezing point) of the phosphoric acid is 21 ℃, and semi-hydrate crystals (ice crystals) can be separated out when the temperature is lower than the crystallization point. In order to avoid crystallization of phosphoric acid during the hydrolysis reaction, it is preferable in the present invention to maintain the ambient temperature of the entire process at 21 ℃ or higher during the preparation and mixing of the first solution.
Adding a phosphoric acid catalyst into the silica sol diluent under the stirring condition, and then adding ethanol into the silica sol diluent to dilute and dissolve the silica sol diluent for 0.5 to 1 hour; the silica sol diluent is obtained by diluting silica sol with deionized water; the silica sol for dilution, siO thereof 2 15-40% by mass, a pH value of 7.5-8.5, and a particle size of 4-6 nm, 8-15 nm or 10-20 nm; silica is insoluble in water and cannot form a solution; the silica sol is a dispersion liquid of nano-scale silica particles in water or a solvent; siO in silica Sol 2 Contains a large amount of water and hydroxyl groups, and can be in a stable state. SiO in the silica sol diluent 2 The mass fraction is 10%. The silica sol diluent contains nano-scale silica particles and is in a stable state. Adding a phosphoric acid catalyst into a silica sol diluent while stirring to destroy the charge stability of the silica sol diluent, so that silicon dioxide particles are dissociated to form single particles or aggregates; in order to control the state of silicon dioxide ions in the system, the molar concentration of the phosphoric acid catalyst is 0.01-1 mol/L; adding a phosphoric acid catalyst into the silica sol diluent while stirring, and adjusting the pH value of the reaction system to 2.0-4.0. Then, ethanol was added to the system with further stirring, the purpose of this operation being toThe second solution creates an ethanol environment close to the first solution, so that the mixing process of the first solution and the second solution can be controlled conveniently; no chemical reaction occurs in the second solution after the addition of ethanol, and there is only a physical change in the dilution and dissolution of the silica particles.
The phosphoric acid belongs to medium and strong acid, the crystallization point (freezing point) of the phosphoric acid is 21 ℃, and semi-hydrate crystals (ice) can be separated out when the temperature is lower than the crystallization point. In order to avoid crystallization of phosphoric acid during the hydrolysis reaction, it is preferable in the present invention to maintain the ambient temperature of the entire process at 21 ℃ or higher during preparation and mixing of the second solution.
When the first solution and the second solution are mixed, the stirring time is preferably 0.5h. In the stirring process after mixing, the first solution and the second solution do not generate chemical reaction, but the nano-scale silicon dioxide particles or aggregates in the second solution permeate into the organic silicon network structure in the first solution to form an interpenetrating microscopically uniformly mixed structure; if the mixing and stirring time is too short, the interpenetrating penetration of the first solution and the second solution may be uneven; if the mixing and stirring time is too long, the hydrolysis reaction time may be too long; according to the invention, the stirring time of the first solution and the second solution is preferably 0.5h when the first solution and the second solution are mixed. When the first solution and the second solution are mixed, the volume ratio of the first solution to the second solution is 1 to 2.5.
Secondly, adding an alkali catalyst into the silica hydrosol to carry out gelation reaction to obtain the silica hydrogel. The concrete steps are that the alkali catalyst is added into the silica hydrosol prepared in the previous step while stirring to carry out polycondensation reaction.
In order to strictly control the progress of the gelation reaction, the alkali catalyst is an ammonia water solution with the molar concentration of 0.1-10 mol/L; the pH value of the reaction system is adjusted to 6.5-7.0 by adding ammonia water solution.
The gelation reaction time can be adjusted by adjusting the addition amount of aqueous ammonia and adjusting the temperature of the gelation reaction to a small extent. The ammonia water is added in an excessive amount generally; the phosphoric acid catalyst contained in the silica hydrosol in the reaction system can perform acid-base neutralization reaction with ammonia water to generate ammonium phosphate; since phosphoric acid is microscopically uniformly distributed in the silica hydrosol, ammonium phosphate is also microscopically uniformly distributed throughout the gel system. The reaction temperature of the gelation reaction is preferably 45 to 60 ℃. The end point of the gelation reaction can be judged from the appearance of the reaction system; generally, when the reaction liquid is inclined by 45 degrees and the liquid does not flow, the initial gel of the gelation reaction can be considered, the reaction system at the time is the silica hydrogel, and the subsequent operation can be carried out.
And aging and replacing the silica hydrogel to obtain the silica alcogel.
The step of aging and displacement is to add absolute ethyl alcohol with the same volume into the silicon dioxide hydrogel, and to stand the silicon dioxide hydrogel at the temperature of 45-55 ℃ so as to age the silicon dioxide hydrogel for 12-24 hours; then, replacing the liquid in the aging system with absolute ethyl alcohol to carry out solvent replacement; the solvent replacement is carried out once every 12h and is repeated for 2 to 4 times. The solvent displacement can displace only the liquid in the gel, while the phosphate uniformly distributed therein in microscopic form cannot be displaced.
The liquid obtained by the aging and the solvent replacement is an ethanol liquid containing water, and the ethanol liquid can be collected and dehydrated to be used as an anhydrous ethanol raw material. The specific dehydration step may include: pumping the liquid displaced in the aging step into an evaporator, heating and gasifying the liquid, then sending the liquid into a pervaporation molecular sieve membrane for dehydration treatment to finally obtain ethanol with the water content of less than 5wt%, and sending the absolute ethanol into a storage tank for later use after cooling. The absolute ethyl alcohol can be circularly applied to the preparation of an organic silicon source solution and the aging and replacement process of the silicon dioxide hydrogel.
And finally, carrying out supercritical drying on the silicon dioxide alcohol gel to obtain the silicon aerogel flame retardant. And the supercritical drying is to place the silicon dioxide aerogel in a supercritical ethanol kettle, add absolute ethanol, seal the drying kettle after purging with nitrogen, heat to 250-270 ℃, keep the pressure for 4-6 h under the pressure of 13-15 MPa, recover to normal pressure, purge for 10min with nitrogen, open the kettle after cooling to room temperature, and take out the silicon aerogel flame retardant prepared by the technical scheme of the invention.
The invention also provides a silicon aerogel flame retardant, wherein ammonium phosphate inorganic salt is uniformly distributed in pores of the aerogel, so that the flame retardance of the aerogel can be improved; meanwhile, the aerogel is not subjected to surface modification treatment, and no redundant organic component is introduced; the aerogel precursor is prepared from a composite precursor formed by an organic silicon source containing methyl, ethyl or vinyl groups and inorganic silica sol, wherein the methyl, ethyl or vinyl groups can endow the aerogel with excellent hydrophobicity, and although the surface modification treatment is not carried out, the hydrophobicity of the aerogel is not reduced; the silicon aerogel flame retardant provided by the invention has the limiting oxygen index of more than or equal to 35 percent, the combustion heat value of less than or equal to 2.2MJ/kg, the heat conductivity of less than or equal to 0.021W/(m.k), and the contact angle of more than or equal to 120 degrees.

Through a large number of experimental studies, it can be seen from the test data in table 1 above that, as the phosphoric acid concentration of the acid catalyst increases, for example, the phosphoric acid concentration in example 1 is 0.01mol/L, the phosphoric acid concentration in example 2 is 0.1mol/L, and the phosphoric acid concentration in example 3 is 1mol/L, the flame retardant performance of the prepared silicon aerogel flame retardant is significantly improved, specifically, the flame retardant performance is represented by the increase of the limiting oxygen index and the decrease of the combustion heat value, wherein the limiting oxygen index is increased from 38% to 46%, and the combustion heat value is decreased from 2.12MJ/kg to 1.57MJ/kg; the probable reason is that more phosphoric acid and ammonia water react with the increase of the concentration of the phosphoric acid to generate more ammonium phosphate which is uniformly distributed in the aerogel and the pores of the aerogel, so that the flame retardant property is improved; on the other hand, the thermal conductivity of the aerogel is slightly increased due to more ammonium phosphate filling in the pores of the aerogel, but the requirement of the heat insulation material can still be met on the whole.
Through a large number of experimental studies, it can be seen from the test data in table 1 that, as the content of the inorganic silicon source is increased, the hydrophobic property of the prepared silicon aerogel flame retardant is also decreased, which is specifically shown in that the content of the inorganic silicon source is increased from example 1 to example 3, the contact angle is gradually decreased, and the contact angle is decreased from 142 ° to 129 °; the reason may be that as the content of the inorganic silicon source increases, the content of methyl groups and/or vinyl groups contained in the organic silicon source decreases, thereby decreasing the hydrophobicity of the aerogel.
