- Insulation materials for example, in the building insulation.
- Cost-effective production of aerogels and xerogels is becoming increasingly important.
- Numerous methods for their production are known. Typically, one starts from water glass (sodium silicate) or silicon alkoxylates (organosilicates) such as tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) as a silicon raw material, which initially form a silica sol and then a silica gel.
- TEOS tetraethyl orthosilicate
- TMOS tetramethyl orthosilicate

- HTSCD high temperature supercritical drying
- LTSCD low temperature supercritical drying
- the critical parameters for the solvent used such as temperature and pressure, did not have to be undercut.
- the critical temperature and critical pressure for CO2 are about 31 ° C and about 74 bar.
- the reaction performance under such a high process pressure requires relatively expensive process control and equipment investments in the production of aerogels.
- WO 2012/044052 A2 deals with the preparation of optically transparent and non-transparent SiO 2 aerogels in granular form.
- a water glass sol is injected into an alcohol phase, which forms the gel in this.
- the gel is further exchanged with alcohol and rendered hydrophobic by means of a silylation reagent.
- the gel is dried under normal pressure or reduced pressure.
- the process makes it possible to produce airgel granules with significantly less time, but a significant disadvantage is the washing with ethanol, which is needed to remove the water from the hydrogel phase.
- the work-up of the water-alcohol mixture requires large amounts of energy, which makes this procedure for a
- WO2013 / 053951 A1 discloses a method for producing a xerogel comprising the following sequence of process steps: (a) preparation of an alcohol-containing sol; (b) - (c) gelation and aging of the sol; (d) hydrophobing the sol prepared and aged in steps (b) and (c); (e) optional pre-drying of the
- step (d) Drying in one step, as described for example in FR 2873677 A1, to obtain a homogeneous airgel.

- the addition of the hydrophobing agent before gel formation leads to a homogeneous and rapid hydrophobization of the gel and to a significantly lower use of water repellents.
- the embodiments of this patent application show various variants of such multi-stage production of airgel-based
- Airgel granules Materials such as granules, plates or composites.
- the gel formed in a stirred reactor is mechanically comminuted, rendered hydrophobic in another pressure reactor and then dried on a conveyor belt at 150 ° C.
- Such a multi-stage process design with multiple transfers of intermediates from one to the other reactor is very expensive and increases the manufacturing cost of finished aerogels.

- the hydrophobic gel bars are removed from the first reactor and dried in an oven at 150 ° C, during which time the gel bars disintegrate by themselves into smaller fragments leaving an airgel granulate.
- the drying step of this process is carried out as described in WO2015 / 014813 A1, in a separate reactor, which in turn requires a transfer of the intermediate product and the construction of a separate drying plant.
- Airgel materials are technically demanding and economically complicated, among other things because different steps of such multi-stage processes take a long time and take place in several reactors.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for

- subcritical drying means that the temperature and / or pressure set during drying are less than the critical parameters of the solvent mixture used (pore liquid) and accordingly this pore liquid is not present as supercritical fluid during drying.
- step d) is carried out at least partially under reduced pressure, more preferably under an absolute pressure of 0.1 to 1 bar. Drying in a vacuum has the advantage that it can take place at a low temperature, that is to say with a reduced heat energy requirement. In particular, at the end of the drying is achieved at the same temperature by working in a vacuum, a lower residual amount of solvents (residual moisture) in the airgel material. From a process engineering point of view, however, the heat transfer by convective gas exchange with the material to be dried increases with increasing pressure, which in turn reduces the drying time and increases the process efficiency.

- the tube reactor was closed again pressure-tight and heated to a nominal temperature of 100 ° C.
- the gel bar in the tube was now hydrophobicized for 90 minutes, with a
- Example 2 experiment An analogous to Example 2 experiment was carried out using the same starting ol and identical process parameters. When filling the reactor, this was in a vertical position. After completion of aging and draining the
- Syneresis liquid the hydrophobizing catalyst solution was added while still vertically aligned in the manner described in Example 2 overhead.
- the hydrophobing catalyst was recovered with the reactor open by tilting it to the vertical position over the top.
- the reactor was rotated in the horizontal.
- the pilot plant used consisted of a stirred reactor for sol production and a tube bundle reactor with head and lid unit and corresponding auxiliary units (heating, heat exchanger, condenser) and tanks / templates for the used
- the tube bundle reactor consisted of a heat exchanger of parallel tubes with an inner diameter of 18 mm and a through
- Heat transfer fluid flushable jacket The reactor was bolted firmly to the ground at a fixed angle to the horizontal of 19 °.
- 76 L of a sol according to Example 2 were prepared by dilution of the sol concentrate with ethanol and HMDSO in the stirred reactor and preheated to 45 ° C. Thereafter, dilute ethanolic ammonia solution was added and the so-activated sol via transfer line with pressure equalization in the pre-heated to 60 ° C.
- Tube bundle reactor transferred.
- the diluted with ethanol and HMDSO sol mixture and a dilute ammonia solution was fed by means of two separate pipes in the desired ratio to the reactor and homogeneously mixed in the same by means of a mixing device located at the reactor inlet, such as a blend or a static mixer during the filling process. Thereafter, the head and bottom valves of the reactor were closed, whereby the heat exchanger tubes formed with the forming tie rods a pressure-tight closing system.
- Heat exchanger liquid raised to 1 12 ° C.
- the pressure rose rapidly to a value of 2.5 bar.
- the bottom and head valves were carefully opened, and then the syneresis liquid in the original was collected.
- 18.5 L of a dilute solution of nitric acid in ethanol in the stirred reactor were preheated to 60 ° C and then pumped into the above-mentioned template. The heating of the
- Tube bundle heat exchanger was set to 95 ° C.
- Hydrophobing catalyst liquid removed from the system.
- the system consisting of the reactor and the peripheral circuit was aerated slowly against a nitrogen atmosphere and finally a nitrogen flow of 1.36 m 3 / min was set.
- the heating setpoint was also set to 160 ° C.
- ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) inner coating and hermetically sealable lid was adapted to the barrel body of hexagonal polypropylene plastic honeycomb (Tubus honeycomb, cell size 8 mm, length 450 mm) inserted in a vertical orientation such that the entire vessel volume except for an approximately 4 cm air gap to the lid with the
- Honeycomb block was filled. Head cover and bottom of the barrel were each equipped with a ball valve; The barrel was freely rotatably mounted on an aluminum frame via a horizontal axis.
- a Solkonzentrat prepared from Dynasylan ® -40 (manufacturer: Evonik Resource Efficiency GmbH) was diluted analogously to Example 2 to a silicate content of 6.0 wt .-%, wherein the volume fraction of HMDSO in the sol 29.2 vol .-% and by adding dilute ethanolic Activated ammonia solution and homogenized by stirring. 41.1 L of this sol were introduced at room temperature into the honeycomb-loaded barrel body. The drum was sealed and transferred to a preheated to 65 ° C oven with enough capacity.
- Hydrophobizing catalyst fluid was drained via the bottom valve. Then, the honeycomb block was removed from the barrel via a dedicated auxiliary construction and the hydrophobic gel bars were deflated by tapping.
- Airgel material was mechanically comminuted so that a broad size distribution between 0.2 mm and 6 mm of the particles resulted and determined the thermal conductivity of the bed by means of two-plate device to 16.7 mW / (m K).
- Comparative Example 2 has the disadvantage of an additionally required transfer, for example via a lock system, of hydrophobized gel into an additional drying system to be procured and associated additional investment costs.
