In addition, the biological and ecological friendliness, ecological manufacturing, and economic acceptability of the production are important.

Description of new invention
Inorganic filling for panel core and method of its manufacturing solves the above shown technical problem and describes process for manufacturing of construction insulation panels fulfilling all criteria for construction as well as provide for desired technical characteristics, these panels being compact in their nature. The invention fulfills requirements for specific material properties: low density, good mechanical properties, low thermal conductivity, water resistance, hydrophobic properties (low water adsorption), flame resistance.
The subject of this invention is therefore development of inorganic filling for construction insulation panel based on expanded perlite and method for continous manufacturing of construction insulation panels based on expanded perlite with new filling. The developed product will fulfill the requirements of specific material properties such as: low density (from 100 to 160 kg/m3), good mechanical properties, low thermal conductivity (<0.06 W/mK), water resistance, hydrophobic properties and flame resistance, and in addition, the product is biologically friendly and environmentally friendly products, the technology of manufacturing is economically sound and environmentally friendly. The basic technological methods of development of new product are mixing of basic raw materials, compacting of material, microwave heating, thermal pressure treatment, hydrophobic treatment of manufactured inorganic filling panels and their bonding (using adhesives) into panels.
The basic raw material of suggested panel is expanded perlite. This bulk material with bulk density between 30 and 150 kg/m3 is highly porous and brittle, chemically inert, biologically stable, heat resistant and non-toxic. It is not water soluble, it is mould repelling and shows very good thermal and filtering properties. Its structure is amorphous. The experiments so far did not show any ill effects of expanded perlite on people health. Expanded perlite is manufactured by process of expanding of vitrous inorganic volcanic stone or so called primary perlite which chemical composition can be found in the literature and comprises (the fraction of particular components is shown in weight percentage) 72.6- 74.84 % SiO2, 13.7-13.64 % Al2O3, 0.54-0.97 % Fe2O3, 0.45-0.97 % CaO, 0.2-0.26 % MgO, 3.77-3.95 % Na2O, 3.95-4.19 % K2O and 0.02-0.05 % TiO2. The loss of material during heating is between 2 to 5 %.
As adhesive for forming of compact panels from expanded perlite one uses either soluble sodium silicate or silicate water glass, or soluble potassium-sodium silicate or as potassium-sodium water glass. Sodium water glass is inorganic silicate compound in which the anion part is represented by silicate tetrahedron and sodium cation tetrahedron, its structure is amorphous. The density of the commercially available sodium water glass which is in range from 1.33 to 1.58 g/cm3 depends on weight share of SiO2 (25-34 %) and Na2O (8-16 %) or their molar ratio M = nSi02/nNa20 (1.9 - 3.4). Similarly, potassium - sodium water glass is inorganic silicate compound in which the anion part is represented by silicate tetrahedron and potassium - sodium cation tetrahedron, its structure is amorphous. The density of the commercially available potassium - sodium water glass which is in range from 1.36 to 1.38 g/cm3 depends on weight share SiO2 (26-27 %), K2O (5-6%) and Na2O (8-16 %). Entry components of the process of industrial manufacturing of inorganic insulation panels are expanded perlite, additives and soluble sodium silicate or potassium - sodium water glass as adhesive (bonding agent). The process of expanding of perlite from primary perlite is known and as such does not represent new matter. The technological process of manufacturing of inorganic insulation panels is undertaken according to below described process.
Bulk expanded perlite with appropriate bulk density with appropriate particle size distribution is lead into a mixing reactor along with appropriate share of additives depending on intended use of a panel, and necessary amount of liquid adhesive (sodium or potassium - sodium water glass). All components are intensively (vigorously) mixed in the reactor so the homogenous mixture or uniform wettability of expanded perlite and additives with water glass is achieved. Time of mixing depends on type of mixer, quantity and required final properties of the filling.
Homogeneously mixed mixture of expanded perlite, additives and water glass is poured into the mold (cast) of desired form. The mold filled with mixture is shaken on the vibration table to achieve uniform local distribution of bulk density of the mixture. Uniform distribution of bulk mass over whole volume of the mold provides for effective compacting of wetted bulk material and therefore better mechanical properties of the panel. The density of the compacted panel is determined with total mass and composition of the mixture, and force of compression depending on particular thickness of the panel.
The compacted panels are exposed to microwave field with purpose of extensive acceleration of process of meshing of water glass. The expanded perlite is transparent for microwave heating and does not absorb microwaves, however, the presence of rather large share of non-binded water in water glass causes absorption of the microwaves in depth of the panel and therefore change of mechanical energy into heat. In such a fashion the microwaves clearly accelerate evaporation of non-binded water from the system and simultaneous meshing of water glass with presence of CO2. Technological time of exposure to microwave heating depends both on structure and dimension of the panel as well as on power and frequency of microwave heating.
Dried and compacted panels after microwave heating have particular mechanical properties, however, due to amorphous nature of the component are still not water resistant meaning that in presence of e.g. humidity (moisture) from the air the dissolution of water glass occurs again and therefore the failure of the panel occurs. Using hydrophobic process in this stage of the manufacturing the panel can be protected from entering the water into the porous material, however, in the long run this does not represent long term protection of material or water resistance of the material. These can be achieved by thermal treatment. Based on studies it was established that in particular high temperature regime the reaction between expanded perlite and water glass occurs or in other words the transformation from amorphous into crystalline structure.
So produced meshed panels are then thermally treated for example in continuous tunnel furnace. In the first phase the panels are preheated, the second phase comprises heating into determined temperature range with partial crystallization of the material, and in the third and final phase the panels are cooled down to prevent temperature shocks. In the first phase the process temperatures are up 700°C, in the range of partial crystallization the panels are compressed (put under pressure load), the process temperatures are between 700 and 1000°C. In the final phase the panels are cooled down to desired temperature. The holding times of the panels in particular phase depends on size and desired mechanical and thermodynamic properties.
So manufactured partially crystallized panels with defined mechanical properties are water resistant, however, the water absorption limit according to the standard EN 1609 is not appropriate. The water repellant properties of the material can be increased by use of methyl silicon resins in such a way that they are heated up to high temperatures without oxygen presence. In such heating up the methyl silicon resins are not decomposed, they are partially oxidized. In case of final oxidation the SiO2 (silica - flint stone or silicon acid), carbon dioxide and water are formed, however, they are unwanted so the process of thermal oxidation should be stopped in appropriate moment.
Should the panels be built into construction panels, these panels are mechanically treated. The shown invention during manufacturing provides for minimum quantity of waste so in addition to ecological friendliness of the product and its ecologically friendly manufacturing, the panel manufacturing itself is environment friendly.
The panels manufactured according to described process show the following properties:
Mechanical properties: o Density: 120 to 160kg/m3 o Compressive strength: up to and around 300 kPa; Compressive elasticity module: around 28 MPa o Tensile strength: up to and around 15O kPa; Tensile elasticity module: around 20 MPa
Thermal conductivity: around 0.06 W/mK
They are water resistance (not soluble in water) which cannot be said for panels which are not thermally treated
If treated against water absorption as described previously the water absorption measured according to standard EN 1609 is as follows: o After 24 hours water absorption < 1 kg/m2 o After 28 days water absorption < 3 kg/m2.
More detailed essence of the invention is explained below with description of preferred embodiment and figures whereas the figure forms integral part of this patent application and shows as follows:
Figure 1 shows the reservoir of the primary perlite (1), inlet of expanded perlite (2), mixing reactor (3), container of water glass (4), container of additives (5), the first transporter (6), vibration table (7), the second transporter (8), microwave furnace (9), continuous tunnel furnace (10), depositing device (11), furnace for heating (12), device for application of adhesive (13).
In shown preferred embodiment a reservoir of primary perlite (1) is source of bulk expanded perlite of desired bulk density with corresponding particle distribution, said bulk expanded perlite delivered through an inlet of expanded perlite (2) into a mixing reactor (3). Into said mixing reactor (3) is also delivered necessary quantity of water glass (liquid adhesive) from a container of water glass (4) and appropriate share of additives from a container of additives (5). The components are mixed in said mixing reactor (3) in order to ensure homogeneous mixture or in other words uniform wettability of expanded perlite and additives with water glass.
Said homogeneously mixed mixture of expanded perlite, additives and water glass is poured into a mold (cast) of desired form. Said mold is with the first transporter (6) transported onto a vibration table (7) where said mold is shaken in order to achieve uniform local distribution of bulk density of said mixture.
In such fashion compact panels are obtained, said panels transported with the second transporter (8) to a microwave furnace (9) where they are exposed to a microwave field in order to clearly accelerate a process of meshing of said water glass.
In such fashion obtained meshed panels are then thermally treated in a continuous tunnel furnace (10). Said panels are then treated with methyl silicon resin using a depositing device (11). Said panels are then heated in a furnace for heating (12) without presence of oxygen whereby said methyl silicon resins are not decomposed but partially oxidized. Said panels are then glued using a device for application of adhesive (13).
For regulation, control, and optimization of said process a computer program can be used, said computer program comprising programming means for executing any of previously described steps in accordance with any patent claim should such computer program be executed in general purpose computer.
It is self evident that this solution can be executed in other form of embodiment, said embodiment not changing the essence of this invention.
