The present invention relates to a biomaterial fly ash synthesized with amorphous silica nanoparticles having a high surface power and to a biomaterial fly ash synthesized by a gel method).

Rapid advances in nanotechnology are driving the production of a variety of new nanomaterials that show great potential for a variety of industrial applications.

Among these nanomaterials, silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) are well known as advanced functional materials for a wide range of emerging applications such as composite and nanocomposite adhesives, catalysis, adsorbents and drug delivery.

In this context, it is known that silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) with high porosity can provide a high surface area to retain small molecules or to encapsulate therapeutic agents.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.

1 is a flow chart sequentially showing a method of manufacturing a biomaterial fly ash synthesized with amorphous silica nanoparticles having a high surface power according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a method for preparing a biomaterial fly ash synthesized with amorphous silica nanoparticles having high surface power according to an embodiment of the present invention is a biomaterial fly by synthesizing amorphous silica by a sol-gel method into a potentially cheap fly ash. By manufacturing ash (hereinafter referred to as 'silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs)'), it is to provide a manufacturing method that is inexpensive and easy to control properties.

To this end, in the method for preparing a biomaterial fly ash, a fly ash is placed in a flask, and then stirred by adding 3M aqueous sodium solution (3M NaOH) and filtering to prepare a sodium silicate (Na ₂ SiO ₃ ) solution (S100). Cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide and N-butanol were added to the sodium solution, followed by heating to prepare a mixture (S200), and 1M hydrogen chloride (1M HCl) solution was added to the mixture and stirred to reach a pH of 4 (S300). , Reacting the stirred mixture at 40 to 75 ° C. for 7 to 9 hours and cooling at room temperature (S400), collecting the silica gel dispersed in the cooled mixture (S500), washing and drying the collected silica gel It may include the step (S600) and the activated by heating the dried silica gel (S700).

First, step S100 is a step of preparing a sodium silicate (Na ₂ SiO ₃ ) solution, a fly ash, 3M sodium aqueous solution (3M NaOH) may be added and stirred to prepare a sodium silicate (Na ₂ SiO ₃ ) solution. .

More specifically, the S100 step is to add 7 to 9 parts by weight of fly ash in a 250 parts by weight of flask and add 90 to 110 parts by weight of 3M sodium aqueous solution (3M NaOH) and stirred at 85 to 95 ℃ for 5.5 to 6.5 hours of the fly ash Silica can be completely reacted with sodium silicate (Na ₂ SiO ₃ ), where 8 parts by weight of fly ash is placed in a 250 parts by weight flask and 100 parts by weight of 3M aqueous sodium solution (3M NaOH) is added to homogeneously at 90 ° C. for 6 hours. It is preferable to stir.

This is a reaction between the fly ash and the 3M aqueous sodium solution as shown in the following formula 1 is produced as sodium silicate (Na ₂ SiO ₃ ).

[Equation 1]

2NaOH + SiO ₂ → Na ₂ SiO ₃ + H ₂ O

Then, it may be filtered to obtain a sodium silicate (Na ₂ SiO ₃₎ solution of sodium silicate (Na ₂ SiO ₃₎ to the solution.

Here, the use of 3M sodium aqueous solution (NaOH) is a 3M sodium aqueous solution (3M NaOH) of the optimum concentration because the extraction efficiency of SiO ₂ is maintained constant when the concentration of sodium aqueous solution (NaOH) is 3M. It is preferable to use.

For example, when the concentration of the aqueous sodium solution (NaOH) is less than 3M is insufficient to extract SiO ₂ from the fly ash, if it exceeds 3M, the extraction efficiency of SiO ₂ is increased.

Here, when the stirring temperature is less than 85 ℃ SiO ₂ is not completely converted to sodium silicate (sodium silicate), if it exceeds 95 ℃ may be reduced conversion rate of SiO ₂ is converted to sodium silicate (sodium silicate).

In addition, when the stirring time is less than 5.5 hours, SiO ₂ is not completely converted to sodium silicate, and when it exceeds 6.5 hours, further stirring is inefficient because the state is completely converted to sodium silicate. .

In step S200, the mixture may be prepared by adding and heating cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and N-butanol to the sodium silicate solution prepared in step S100.

Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is added as a surfactant in the synthesis of silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs).

More specifically, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is positively adsorbed on the surface of the negatively charged silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) at the pH> 2.5 by the head of cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) The surface of silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) may be wrapped with cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) to form a physical adsorption layer.

When surfactant is used by self-assembly of cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) at the interface due to such intermolecular interaction, the hydroxyl group (-OH) of silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) Interaction of the silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) or the hydroxyl group (-OH) with water can be prevented, thereby preventing the aggregation of the silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs).

N-butanol was added as a dispersant of silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs).

More specifically, silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) may be uniformly dispersed while having a small and uniform size on N-butanol.

This nature of the hydrophobic (hydrophobic), silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) while forming a micelle structure of the cetyl Trill methyl ammonium bromide adsorption physically surrounding the surface of silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) as described above, Will have Accordingly, silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) are spread on the hydrophobic solvent N-butanol to prevent aggregation between the silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs).

Here, the concentration of cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide is preferably 2 to 4 wt%, to protect the silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) from aggregation and to obtain uniform and small particles of the silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs), and 3 wt% Most preferably.

At this time, cetyl Trill hydroxyl group of tetramethylammonium, if the concentration of bromide 2% by weight is less than cetyl Trill methyl ammonium bromide molecules are silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) failure to uniformly coat the surface of silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) ( -OH) may form hydrogen bonds with silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) or hydroxyl group (-OH) in water, which may cause aggregation, and when the concentration exceeds 4wt%, the concentration of silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) As is increased, silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) may aggregate to form granules.

In addition, the step S300 may add 90 to 110 parts by weight of cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide and 190 to 210 parts by weight of N-butanol to 90 to 110 parts by weight of a sodium silicate solution and heat to 75 to 85 ° C. to prepare a mixture. 100 parts by weight of cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide and 200 parts by weight of N-butanol are preferably added to 100 parts by weight of sodium silicate solution and heated to 80 ° C.

In addition, if the heating temperature in the step S200 is less than 75 ℃ sufficient efficiency can not appear, if it exceeds 85 ℃ already enough efficiency is out of further increase in temperature is inefficient.

Step S300 is a step of causing a hydrolysis condensation reaction, by adding a 1M hydrogen chloride (1M HCl) solution to the mixture prepared in step S200 may be stirred to reach a pH of 4.

In such a step S300, a reaction such as the following Equation 2 may occur.

[Equation 2]

Na ₂ SiO ₃ + ₂ HCl + H ₂ O → 2 NaCl + Si (OH) ₄

As such, by neutralizing the sodium silicate of the mixture with 1M hydrogen chloride to reach pH 4, hydrolysis condensation reaction and SiO ₂ recovery are possible.

Step S400 is a step of reacting and cooling the stirred mixture. The stirred mixture in S300 may be reacted at 55 to 65 ° C. for 6 to 10 hours and cooled at room temperature, and the stirred mixture is heated at 60 ° C. for 8 hours. It is preferable to react and cool to room temperature.

Here, since the reaction temperature when 55 ℃ below may extraction efficiency of SiO ₂ are not allowed to be sufficiently SiO ₂ is fully dissolved from the fly ash does not appear, if less, the extraction efficiency is maintained sufficiently constant of SiO ₂ exceeds the 65 ℃ Any further temperature increase is not efficient.

In addition, when the reaction time is less than 6 hours, the extraction efficiency of SiO ₂ is not sufficient and does not remain constant, and if it exceeds 10 hours, the extraction efficiency of SiO ₂ is already sufficiently increased and maintained. Agitation is inefficient.

Through the S400 step, a reaction such as the following Equation 3 may occur to obtain a silica gel.

[Equation 3]

nSi (OH) ₄ → (SiO ₂ ) _n + 2nH ₂ O

Here, n means Si-O cluster and is a positive integer.

Step S500 is a step of collecting the silica gel, after transferring the mixture cooled in the step S400 to a new flask may collect the silica gel (silica gel) dispersed on the N-butanol.

Step S600 is a drying step, and the silica gel collected in step S400 may be washed several times and dried at 95 to 105 ° C. for 23 to 25 hours, and preferably dried at 100 ° C. for 24 hours.

Here, if the drying temperature and time is less than 95 ℃ and 23 hours may not be enough drying due to insufficient drying, if more than 105 ℃ and 25 hours, complete drying is already inefficient and silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ Deformation may occur in NPs).

S700 step is to activate the synthesized silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs), by heating the silica gel dried in step S700 to remove cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB), silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs ) Can be activated.

At this time, step S700 may be activated by heating the dried silica gel at 540 to 560 ℃ for 3.5 to 4.5 hours, it is most preferable to heat at 550 ℃ for 4 hours.

In this case, when the heating temperature is less than 540 ℃ Cetyl trimethyl methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) is not completely removed, if it exceeds 560 ℃ may cause deformation in the silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs).

In addition, when the heating time is less than 3.5 hours, cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is not completely removed, and when it exceeds 4.5 hours, cetyl trimethylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is already completely removed, so further heating is inefficient. .

The final biomaterial fly ash (silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs)) can be obtained in step S700.

The weight part in the manufacturing method may be derived based on 1g, 1ml, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the present invention can provide a bio-material fly ash prepared by the manufacturing method as described above.

As described above, the biomaterial fly ash synthesized from the amorphous silica nanoparticles having the high surface force according to the embodiment of the present invention and its manufacturing method are inexpensive, and the size, shape, reactivity and material properties of the particles Fine control and high quality biomaterial fly ash (silica nanoparticles) can be provided.

It can also help solve environmental problems caused by the large amount of fly ash waste generated each year.

Hereinafter, the content of the present invention will be described in detail through Examples, Comparative Examples and Experimental Examples.

Hereinafter, the experimental examples are presented to aid the understanding, it is only to illustrate the present invention and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following experimental examples.

Experimental Example 1 Fly Ash XRF Analysis

The chemical composition of the fly ash was measured by XRF analysis using an AXIOSmAX X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer (PANalytical B.V. Co., Netherlands), and the measurement results are shown in FIG. 2.

This compared to rice husk, rice hull and bagasse ash SiO ₂ Although somewhat lower in content, it was considered to be an alternative low cost silica source for the synthesis of silica nanoparticles.

The solution was added and stirred until the pH reached 4, the stirred mixture was allowed to react at 60 ° C. for 8 hours and cooled to room temperature to form silica gel. The cooled mixture was poured into a new flask, and the dispersed silica gel was collected and collected. The washed silica gel was washed three times, dried at 100 ° C. for 24 hours, and activated by heating the dried silica gel at 550 ° C. for 4 hours to prepare a final biomaterial fly ash (silica nanoparticles). It was.

Experimental Example 2 Effect of CTAB Concentration

The uniformity and particle size of Examples and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were observed by optical image and SEM technology, as shown in FIG.

Here, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement was investigated using JSM-7401F (JEOL Co., Japan).

3A to 3G show the concentration of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (1wt%, 3wt%, 5wt%) in the method of preparing a biomaterial fly ash synthesized with amorphous silica nanoparticles having high surface power according to an embodiment of the present invention. Bio-material fly ash (silica nanoparticles) according to the optical image and the SEM observation picture.

Figure 4 is a bio-according to the concentration of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (1wt%, 3wt%, 5wt%) in the method for producing a biomaterial fly ash synthesized with amorphous silica nanoparticles having a high surface power according to an embodiment of the present invention A conceptual diagram showing particle bonding of a material fly ash.

First, Comparative Example 1 (CTAB1, wt%) can be confirmed that the silica nanoparticles (SiO ₂ NPs) is completely dispersed in the aqueous phase with very strong aggregation, as shown in Figure 3A.

This is because CTAB molecules were not uniformly coated on the SiO ₂ surface, as indicated by CTAB 1wt% of FIG. 4. Accordingly, free hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silica nanoparticles can form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the silica nanoparticles or water molecules, causing aggregation to a larger particle size in order to reduce high surface energy.

In addition, Example (CTAB, 3 wt%), as shown in B, D and E of FIG. 3, the silica particles are uniformly dispersed on N-butanol, and observed by SEM and are uniform and 20 to 32 nm. It can be seen that it shows small particles.

This is due to the formation of the micelle structure by the CTAB layer on the physically adsorbed SiO ₂ surface, as indicated by CTAB 3wt% in FIG. 4, by converting the silica nanoparticles to hydrophobic and moving the nanoparticles onto N-butanol. It is believed that the silica nanoparticles can be protected from aggregation.

In addition, in Comparative Example 2 (CTAB, 5 wt%), as shown in C, F, and G of FIG. 3, the silica particles were dispersed together with the aggregation phenomenon at the interface between the N-butanol phase and the water yarn, and observed by SEM. It can be seen that the results are uniform and exhibit large particles of 92 to 123 nm.

It is formed as a micellar structure by self-assembly of a bilayer at a high CTAB concentration, as indicated by CTAB 5wt% in FIG. 4, where the micelle structure has a positive charge surface of a cation to interact with water molecules. The silica nanoparticles are moved and positioned in the interface region.

Therefore, it is judged that the use of 3 wt% CTAB as in the example can protect SiO ₂ from aggregation and obtain silica nanoparticles with uniform and small particle size.

Experimental Example 3 Effect of Aging Temperature

The uniformity and particle size of Examples and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 were observed by SEM, which is shown in FIG.

Here, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements were examined using JSM-7401F (JEOL Co., Japan).

5A to 5C show the reaction temperature (30 ° C., 60 ° C., 90 ° C.) at step S400 of the method for preparing a biomaterial fly ash synthesized with amorphous silica nanoparticles having high surface force according to an embodiment of the present invention. The SEM photograph of the biomaterial fly ash (silica nanoparticles).

Comparative Example 3 can confirm the silica nanoparticles having a size of more than about 100nm, such as 50, 100, 200nm when reacting at 30 ℃ in S400 step, as shown in Figure 5 A, confirming that the number of the observed silica nanoparticles are small Could.

The non-uniform size of the silica nanoparticles at 30 ° C. is due to the fact that the extraction efficiency is not kept constant, and the extraction efficiency is low, and thus the number of particles observed is low.

In addition, since the interaction between the hydroxyl group and the CTAB on the SiO ₂ surface is low, agglomeration of silica nanoparticles formed into small particles may occur, thereby increasing the particle size.

In addition, in the embodiment, as shown in B of FIG. 5, when reacting at 60 ° C. in step S400, silica nanoparticles having a uniform and small size could be confirmed.

This is because the equilibrium between the dissolution and precipitation processes increases the interaction between the CTAB and hydroxyl groups on the SiO ₂ surface.

In addition, in Comparative Example 4, as shown in C of FIG. 5, when the reaction was performed at 90 ° C. in step S400, silica nanoparticles having a somewhat larger particle size were confirmed.

This may be because the size of silica nanoparticles is increased by desorption of CTAB.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that by reacting at 60 ° C. as in Examples, it is possible to obtain uniform and small particles of silica nanoparticles.

Experimental Example 4 Effect of Aging Time

The uniformity and particle size of the Examples and Comparative Examples 5 and 6 were observed by SEM, which is shown in FIG.

Here, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements were examined using JSM-7401F (JEOL Co., Japan).

6A to 6C illustrate a biomaterial fly according to reaction time (4h, 8h, 16h) in step S400 of the method for preparing a biomaterial fly ash synthesized with amorphous silica nanoparticles having high surface force according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a photograph observing the ash (silica nanoparticles) by SEM.

In Comparative Example 5, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the reaction was performed for 4 hours in the S400 step, it was confirmed that the number of silica nanoparticles was not uniform and observed.

In addition, in the embodiment, as shown in B of FIG. 6, when reacted for 8 hours in the S400 step, silica nanoparticles of uniform and small size could be confirmed.

Compared with other aging times, the size of the silica nanoparticles was found to be the most desirable because the equilibrium between dissolution and precipitation process at 8 hours.

In addition, as the aging time increases, the size of the silica nanoparticles increases, but there is no significant difference.

However, in Comparative Example 6, as shown in C of FIG. 5, when the reaction was performed for 16 hours in the S400 step, the silica nanoparticles were aggregated to increase the particle size.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that the reaction for 8 hours as in the embodiment can obtain silica nanoparticles of uniform and small particles.

Experimental Example 5 FT-IR Measurement

The FT-IR spectra are shown in FIG. 6 by FT-IR measurement of the silica nanoparticles (except the activation process after drying in the examples) before the activation and the activation.

Here, EQUINOX 55 spectrometer (Bruker Co., Germany) was performed to transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum Fourier at 400 to 4000 cm ^-1 with a resolution of 1 cm ^-1 using.
