Preparation method of silicon dioxide for green high-transparency toothpaste
Technical Field
The invention belongs to superfine silicon dioxide for toothpaste production, and particularly relates to a preparation method for producing green high-transparency silicon dioxide for toothpaste by adopting a precipitation method.
Background
In order to adapt to the development direction of multifunctional and high added value of toothpaste products, toothpaste technology is also continuously innovated. Transparent toothpaste is made of novel soft abrasive, which is silicon dioxide produced by precipitation method, and has been rapidly popularized and applied in China due to its good performance. The production of transparent toothpaste requires high light transmittance, low refractive index and strict requirements for process and raw materials of the precipitated silica. At present, the light transmittance of the domestic precipitated silica is about 70 percent, the domestic precipitated silica can not meet the market demand of high-grade transparent toothpaste, and most of the domestic precipitated silica for the high-grade transparent toothpaste depends on import.
The preparation of precipitated silica is divided into a gas phase method and a precipitation method. The gas phase method has the advantages of high price, less dosage, relatively low cost of the precipitation method and wide application range.
In the prior art, the production of silica by precipitation method usually comprises adding concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium silicate in a reaction kettle according to a weight ratio for reaction, cooling the reacted materials, pumping the materials into a filter press by a pump for filtering, washing and drying to make liquid-solid two phases reach a certain ratio, pulping the filter cake under high pressure, curing, storing in a concentrated slurry tank, and drying to obtain silica.
The precipitated silica produced by the method has poor stability and is easy to cause the toothpaste to become hard; low transparency and purity, and is not suitable for the production of high-grade transparent toothpaste.
The toothpaste-grade silicon dioxide is a novel functional material grown after the traditional inorganic material is upgraded by the industry and the product structure is adjusted in the chemical industry. The obvious advantages of toothpaste grade silicon dioxide in the field of daily chemicals such as toothpaste, cosmetics and the like and the irreplaceability of the chemical structure and the performance of the toothpaste grade silicon dioxide become the hot field of international scientific research and technical development at present. With the development of fine chemical ultrafine functional materials in China, the development of toothpaste grade silicon dioxide with independent intellectual property rights becomes one of the key research subjects of numerous scientific researchers.
Through domestic online search, no patent literature report of precipitated silica for toothpaste, which is the same as the production method of the invention, is found at present.
