The invention provides preparation methods for a vacuum insulation panel and a core material thereof. In the preparation methods, waste
solid coal ash and
straw ash discharged from a thermal power
plant in China are used as a
silicon source, thermokalite
dissolution reaction is performed at a high temperature and a
high pressure, an innovative inorganic dispersion
sol-
gel method and an
epoxide method preparation process are adopted, a coagulation method for preparing organic
aerogel, a co-
polymerization method for preparing hydrophobic
aerogel, and a doped modified
aerogel in-situ method are combined, an in-situ co-precursor modification method is adopted, at the same time, a
silane with a hydrophobic group is introduced and mixed with the
silicon source for a
sol-gel process, secondary hydrophobic modification of gel and
organic matter toughening and strengthening are adopted, an inorganic / organic
hybrid composite bulk aerogel vacuum insulation panel core material is prepared under normal pressure, and a vacuum insulation panel is prepared by using the core material. The vacuum insulation panel core material of the invention can be separately applied to the building
thermal insulation engineering, has good anti-NIR performance, high strength and good
toughness, does not crush under
extrusion and is low in cost. The aerogel vacuum insulation panel of the invention does not produce a cold and heat bridge phenomenon, with the vacuum degree being maintained for a long time, is not prone to bulging and
scratching, and can be made into a bulk.
