The preparation method of a kind of alkali metal titanium-base crystal whisker and platelet
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of a kind of alkali metal titanium-base crystal whisker and platelet, be particularly for a kind of by the simple once sintered method of preparing alkali metal titanium-base crystal whisker and platelet.
Background technology
Alkali metal titanium-base crystal whisker and platelet have enhancing, effect such as heat insulation, can be applicable to industries such as plastics, coating, friction materials.Particularly crystal whisker of hexa potassium titanate has good mechanics and physicals, and excellent heat insulation, wear resistance can replace the strong carcinogen asbestos, have avoided environmental pollution like this, have improved the frictional coefficient and the thermostability of friction materials simultaneously
[1], have significant social and economic benefit.
The method of traditional preparation process alkali metal titanium-base crystal whisker and platelet is with TiO
2Mix according to a certain percentage with alkaline carbonate, obtain through high-temperature calcination then
[1-5], because TiO
2Expensive market value makes that the preparation cost of alkali metal titanium-base crystal whisker and platelet is too high, can not be by large-scale application.Simultaneously, use carbothermic method
[6-8]From titanium ore preparation TiO
2The time, still needing through high-temperature calcination, this is the process of a high energy consumption, also is to cause TiO
2One of reason that price is high.Now with the ilmenite for the feedstock production alkali metal titanium-base crystal whisker mostly is two-step approach, promptly earlier with TiO in the ilmenite
2Enrichment becomes titanium slag, and at high temperature reaction generates the alkali metal titanate whisker with alkali metal compound more then
[9]W.Akira etc.
[10]With the ilmenite of acid treatment and alkali metal compound, graphite, prepare the alkali metal titanate whisker by high temperature sintering, this technology in fact still is two-step approach, at first comes enrichment TiO by the washing ilmenite
2, and then high temperature sintering goes out desired product, and this technology can produce waste water, is unfavorable for environmental protection.
