Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a panel, preferably a method for manufacturing a decorative panel.
- Carbonatation is known for the production of building materials.
- W02020/260568A1 describes a method for manufacturing an object bound by carbonatation.
- the object of the invention is to provide methods that allow the manufacture, by means of carbonatation of suitable starting material, of panels - and preferably decorative panels - which have excellent properties and that can be manufactured in a better way.
- the specific object of the invention is to provide panels that can be manufactured with a limited amount of energy and that have an extremely low CO2 footprint, due to the fact that CO2 is bound in the panel during manufacturing.
- the first aspect of the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a panel, preferably a decorative panel.
- the method comprises the steps of:
- a panel is obtained with a thickness of less than 60 mm; preferably with a thickness of less than 30 mm, more preferably with a thickness less than 20 mm, more preferably with a thickness less than 14 mm, more preferably with a thickness less than 10 mm, more preferably with a thickness less than 8 mm, more preferably less than 5 mm; and preferably higher than 3 mm.
- CO 2 is absorbed during the carbonatation and is bound in the panel. This can be done with low energy consumption, as no elevated temperatures are required as is the case with the production of ceramic tiles. Due to these factors, the method has a low carbon footprint. The method also allows to obtain waterproof panels, which are also fireproof.
- the thickness is preferably less than 5 mm, for example 3 mm.
- the thickness is preferably less than 20 mm.
- the thickness is between 8 and 14 mm for floor panels for indoor use.
- the thickness is less than 20 mm for floor panels for outdoor use.
- Panels with a lower thickness allow to accelerate the carbonatation and to improve its efficiency since CO 2 has to penetrate less deeply in order to carbonate the entire thickness.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass comprises water, preferably between 12 and 16 % by mass of water. This allows that the mass is still in powder form (i.e., not in wet slurry form).
- the water allows to promote the carbonatation process, since CO 2 can diffuse into water and thus be guided through the compacted sheet form, so that the entire thickness of the sheet form can be effectively and efficiently bound by carbonatation.
- the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder in powder form allows processing by scattering in order to bring the mass into a sheet form.
- a sufficient amount of water can also be added so that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder in a slurry form can be provided.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that in the particle size distribution by volume of the carbonatable powder at least 40 % of the particles have a particle size of smaller than 1000 pm, more preferably higher than 500 pm, more preferably higher than 200 pm.
- the particle size distribution by volume is measured by laser diffraction.
- This embodiment offers the advantage that a better compaction can be obtained. This also leads to carbonated panels that have a lower porosity, which is beneficial for the water resistance and chemical resistance of the panels. In this embodiment, the carbonatable powder also has a higher reactivity. So, this embodiment leads to higher quality panels.
- This embodiment also ensures that a texture can be better pressed into the surface of the panel when compacting.
- a preferred embodiment is therefore characterized by the fact that water is added when providing the mass.
- the water allows to promote the carbonatation process, since CO2 can diffuse into water and thus be guided through the compacted sheet form, so that the entire thickness of the sheet form can be effectively and efficiently bound by means of carbonatation.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass comprises powdered or granulate-shaped fillers, for example CaCCh or sand. This embodiment allows to reduce the cost of the raw materials and to change the properties of the panel.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass is a mass which can be scattered. This embodiment allows to bring the mass into a sheet form in a simple manner. This also allows to avoid drying, which is the case if the mass in wet slurry form is brought into in the sheet form. Since no drying is required, less energy is required in the manufacture of the panel.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the carbonatation is performed in an atmosphere that comprises a higher fraction of COz than the ambient atmosphere. This will ensure an efficiency and effective carbonatation, which will provide a solid and strong panel.
- Carbonatation using moisture added to COz-enriched air offers the advantage that the moisture ensures that the CO2 will be absorbed and transported through the compacted sheet form, so that the carbonatation is performed efficiently and effectively.
- Carbonatation at elevated temperature offers the advantage of accelerating the carbonatation reaction, so that the manufacture of the panel runs faster.
- This kind of embodiments offers the advantage that the dimensional stability of the compacted sheet form is better. This will improve the quality of the formed panel.
- Mechanical operations for example, sawing into panels or milling the coupling means at the edges of the panels - are also possible before carbonatation. Due to the fact that the material before carbonatation is softer - but still dimensionally stable -, this sawing and/or milling can be done with less energy, and there is no danger that brittleness of the material would cause problems during these mechanical operations.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass comprises a fast-setting Portland cement, or consists mainly of it, or wherein the mass comprises calcium sulfoaluminate.
- This kind of embodiments offers the advantage that the dimensional stability of the compacted sheet form is better. This will improve the quality of the formed panel.
- a texture can also be inserted by pressure during compaction, this texture being retained until after carbonatation. Mechanical operations -, for example, sawing into panels or milling the coupling means at the edges of the panels - are also possible before carbonatation.
- the mass comprises fast-setting Portland cement or calcium sulfoaluminate; on the other hand, the mass preferably comprises an acid, for example citric acid or phosphoric acid. This will ensure inhibition, so that the Portland cement or the calcium sulfoaluminate is not activated too early, but the mass can be effectively brought into a sheet form, and only afterwards, during or after compacting, the Portland cement or the calcium sulfoaluminate will provide dimensional stability.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder also comprises wood chips and/or wood fibres. This allows to achieve the desired mechanical properties of the panel. This also allows to obtain a more efficient milling of the coupling means on the side edges of panels obtained with the method of the first aspect of the invention. Also, the presence of the wood chips and/or the wood fibres allows to laminate a decor layer on the surface of the panel using melamine or another resin to form a decorative panel.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder also comprises reinforcing fibres, preferably wherein the fibres form between 0.75 and 5 % by mass of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder. This kind of embodiments allows to obtain a panel with higher strength.
- the reinforcing fibres are selected from one or more of:
- - synthetic fibres such as for example polyethylene fibres, polypropylene fibres, polyester fibres, polyvinyl alcohol fibres, polyamide fibres, acrylic fibres, aramid fibres;
- - cellulose fibres such as for example cotton, flax, hemp, bamboo, jute, sisal, elephant grass, flax, coconut fibre or ramie
- - animal fibres such as for example wool or other animal hair
- - inorganic fibres such as for example glass fibres, basalt fibres, metal fibres, carbon fibres.
- the average length of the reinforcing fibres is between 3 and 40 mm, more preferably between 3 and 20 mm. This ensures that a good strength of the panel will be obtained, while the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder (and the reinforcing fibres) can still be properly processed and brought into a sheet form.
- the reinforcing fibres have an average aspect ratio between 75 and 1000, more preferably between 75 and 400; wherein the aspect ratio is determined by the length divided by the apparent diameter. This ensures that a good strength of the panel will be obtained, while the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder (and the reinforcing fibres) can still be properly processed and brought into a sheet form.
- the reinforcing fibres have been treated to improve the compatibility with the to be formed matrix in the panel, wherein the treatment can be for example, a silane treatment, a heat treatment, or a coating. Since a better adhesion between the reinforcing fibres and the matrix is obtained, a panel with better mechanical properties will be provided.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that during the bringing of the mass into the sheet form, a non-woven fabric, for example a non-woven fabric made up of glass fibres, is introduced, wherein the non-woven fabric is brought into the sheet form parallel with the sheet form. This allows to increase the mechanical properties of the manufactured panel.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass is brought into a sheet form by means of scattering the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder. This scattering is a very efficient way to bring the mass into a sheet form.
- the technology can be used as used, for example, in the production of chip boards or wood fibre boards.
- the scattering is optionally followed by an equalization step, for example by means of a roll. This will provide a more even sheet form, favourable to limit the variation in thickness, composition, and properties of the manufactured panel.
- the scattering is performed on a continuously moving organ, more preferably a conveyor belt. This allows to provide a continuous manufacture.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder is formed into a slurry with water, wherein the method comprises the step wherein this mass in a slurry form is brought into a sheet form, for example by extruding the slurry or pouring it into a mould.
- This embodiment allows to avoid dust when bringing the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder into a sheet form.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the compaction into a sheet form is performed by means of a continuous press processing - whether or not at elevated temperature for example, by means of a double belt press. This will provide a continuous production.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that compacting into a sheet form is performed by means of a takt time press (for example a short cycle press or a multiday-light press).
- a takt time press for example a short cycle press or a multiday-light press.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that a texture is created on a surface of the sheet form when compacting into a sheet form. In this step, the texture can be easily inserted by pressure. The texture has been found to be retained after carbonatation. So, when implementing this embodiment, a texture can be obtained on the surface of the panel with a very efficient process.
- This texture can be, for example, a wood structure or a natural stone structure.
- a marble structure can be mentioned as an example of a stone structure.
- the texture is created in register with the colour pattern formed on the surface by scattering two masses which comprise a carbonatable powder that differ in colour, for example by differences in quantity and/or colour of pigments in these two masses.
- a very realistic imitation of natural materials e.g., marble
- the texture can be obtained by means of a structured press plate or by means of a mould.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that a relief is pressed on the intended bottom side of the panel when compacting into a sheet form. This allows to make lighter panels. This relief is also favourable for the gluing of the panels on a surface.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that after or during the bringing into a sheet form of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder - preferably before or after the compacting into a sheet form - water is applied on the mass; this water can be applied in liquid form or in the form of steam.
- This water offers the advantage that it can serve as a means of transport for CO2 through the sheet during the carbonatation. This ensures that a more efficient and effective carbonatation process can be provided.
- the application of water in the form of steam offers the advantage that it can penetrate more easily into the sheet form, so that the carbonatation process can be more efficiently performed and the properties throughout the manufactured panel will be more uniform.
- the water which is applied to the mass comprises additives such as for example one or more of a release agent, an inhibitor, or a hydrophobic agent. This improves the process conditions and/or improves the properties of the manufactured panel.
- the water can be applied in liquid form by means of spraying.
- the water applied to the mass may comprise an adhesive or a polymer binder, for example an acrylate, a styrene acrylate, a vinyl acetate, a vinyl acetate chloride, a styrene butadiene copolymer, a vinylidene chloride;
- the glue may be a pressure and/or moisture-sensitive glue, for example an isocyanate-based glue.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the carbonatable powder is obtained or derived from slag from a metallurgical process (for example blast furnace slag), fly ash or calcined clay.
- a metallurgical process for example blast furnace slag
- fly ash for example fly ash
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the carbonatable powder is obtained from one or more of stainless-steel slag, steel slag, zinc slag, copper slag, phosphorus slag, fly ash or bottom ash. This means that the powder that together with the CO? will provide the binding in the panel during the carbonatation is obtained from a waste product from an industrial process. This represents a significant valorisation of this waste product.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the carbonatable powder comprises CaO. According to this embodiment, panels with good mechanical properties can be obtained.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the carbonatable powder comprises at least 25 % by mass of Ca 2+ , and more preferably comprises at least 30 % by mass of Ca 2+ . According to this embodiment, panels with good mechanical properties can be obtained.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder also comprises a superplasticizer (for example polycarboxylate ether) or is mixed in it.
- a superplasticizer for example polycarboxylate ether
- This embodiment offers the advantage that during the bringing into a sheet form and during compacting, the materials slide more easily alongside each other, so that a more efficient and better compacted sheet form is obtained. This advantage is obtained when the mass is brought into a sheet form by means of scattering, but also when this is performed using a wet slurry.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder also comprises or is mixed with a chelating agent (for example EDTA or phosphonic acid).
- a chelating agent for example EDTA or phosphonic acid.
- a chelating agent offers the advantage that the carbonatation reaction proceeds faster. The inventors suspect that this is due to the fact that the chelating agent binds well with Ca 2+ ions from the carbonatable powder. This promotes the extraction of Ca 2+ ions from the carbonatable powder. This released Ca 2+ can then react with CO2. In addition, the chelating agent can also favourably affect CaCCh crystallization.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder also comprises or is mixed with a hydrophobic agent (for example metal soaps, silanes, siloxanes, acrylates, or latex).
- a hydrophobic agent for example metal soaps, silanes, siloxanes, acrylates, or latex.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder also comprises or is mixed with colour pigments (preferably inorganic pigments) or other fillers (for example shells, granite powder or marble powder) for decorative application. This allows to produce a mass-coloured or decorated panel.
- colour pigments preferably inorganic pigments
- other fillers for example shells, granite powder or marble powder
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the method uses two masses which comprise a carbonatable powder that are brought together into a sheet form; wherein the masses which comprise a carbonatable powder differ in colour, for example because they comprise different pigments and/or different amounts of pigments; wherein the two masses which comprise a carbonatable powder are brought into a sheet form - for example by means of computer-controlled scattering operations - so that a decorative colour pattern is obtained on the surface of the sheet form.
- This therefore allows to obtain a decorative colour pattern on the surface of the panel.
- An example is the realization of a black vein against a lighter background as an imitation of marble.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that during the bringing into a sheet form, different layers are formed of masses which comprise a carbonatable powder, wherein at least two layers differ in the composition of the masses; preferably at least three different layers of masses which comprise a carbonatable powder are formed.
- This allows to provide layers with different properties, so that the panel as a whole has better properties.
- a top layer can be coloured decoratively while the other layers are not. It is also possible to create some kind of a sandwich structure with different properties in the core layer in comparison with the two outer layers.
- a top layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder is formed and a second layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder is formed under the top layer, wherein in the formed panel the top layer is harder and/or more brittle than the second layer.
- a third layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder is formed under the second layer, wherein the third layer is harder and/or more brittle in the formed panel than the second layer.
- the more flexible second layer makes it easierto mill mechanical coupling means on the edges of the panel, while the top layer and the third layer provide the mechanical properties.
- the top layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder also comprises colour pigments (preferably inorganic pigments) or other fillers (for example shells, granite powder or marble powder) for decorative application ; and preferably the second layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder does not comprise them or relatively much less.

- other fillers for example shells, granite powder or marble powder
- the top layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder and/or the bottom layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder has/have a higher weight of reinforcing fibres per unit of volume than at least one other layer made up of the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder.

- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder is brought into a sheet form on a carrier plate, wherein in the method the mass which comprises a carbonatable powder binds to the carrier plate - preferably during the carbonatation - so that the carrier plate becomes part of the manufactured panel.
- the carrier plate can be or comprise a mineral plate, for example a magnesium oxide plate or a cement fibre plate.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that after compacting, or when the carbonatation is performed in at least two steps after a first carbonatation step and before a subsequent carbonatation step, the sheet form is cut into panels and/or coupling means are milled at least at two opposite edges of the sheet form and/or of the sawn panels. This allows to saw and/or mill the rigid material with easier and with less energy and with better quality compared to the more brittle panel after carbonatation. After carbonatation, the panel then gains its final strength.
- a preferred embodiment is characterized in that the method comprises the step in which the surface of the panel obtained by carbonatation undergoes a mechanical processing - for example by means of polishing or sandblasting - for obtaining a visual surface effect (for example a gloss effect or an artificial aging), preferably wherein the mass which comprises the carbonatable powder also comprises colour pigments (preferably inorganic pigments) or other fillers (for example shells, granite powder or marble powder) for decorative application.

- This embodiment ensures that panels with lower porosity are obtained after carbonatation. As a result better mechanical properties are obtained, including a higher bending strength. A higher bending strength is especially important with thin panels. Furthermore, a lower porosity is also beneficial for the water resistance of the panels.
- the second aspect of the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a decorative panel, characterized in that the panel comprises a substrate obtained by carbonatation of a carbonatable powder; and a decorative top layer; wherein optionally the substrate is obtained using a method according to any one of the embodiments of the first aspect of the invention; wherein the method of the second aspect comprises the step in which a decorative top layer is applied to the substrate.
