The invention relates to the field of
thermal protection materials, particularly to a preparation method of an Y2SiO5 porous
ceramic with characteristics of ultra-high
porosity and low billet
shrinkage rate. The preparation method comprises: using
yttrium oxide powder and
silicon oxide powder as reactants, using water as a dispersion medium, adding a dispersing agent, and continuously stirring toprepare a
ceramic slurry; heating the
slurry; adding a
foaming agent, rapidly and mechanically stirring, and foaming; adding
gelatin and a surfactant; injecting into a mold, carrying out low-temperature freezing, carrying out
vacuum drying, demolding the billet, and
drying in an oven; and carrying out high temperature
sintering to prepare the Y2SiO5 porous
ceramic. According to the present invention, with the preparation method, the difficulty of high billet
shrinkage rate or severe deformation during the demolding
drying can be solved, and the Y2SiO5 porous ceramic with characteristics of ultra-high
porosity,
low density, low
thermal conductivity and high-
temperature resistance is synthesized, and has wide application prospects in the field of heat protection materials; and the preparation method has advantages of low cost and high
operability, can prepare the porous material with the ultra-high
porosity through the novel and simple production process, and has broad industrial production prospect.
