The invention relates to light ceramsite co-sintered on the surface by virtue of
sodium borate and a preparation method of the light ceramsite. The preparation method of the light ceramsite co-sintered on the surface by virtue of
sodium borate comprises the following steps: spraying a 5-25%
sodium borate solution in steps,
drying and
sintering, wherein during
drying, sodium ions dissolved in water diffuse toward the surface along with
moisture and are enriched on a shell of the surface of each raw nodule; and during
sintering, reaction is carried out on the sodium ions in the
surface layer and other substances to form fusible substances, an effect of a
sintering aid is realized, content of sodium ions in the sintering aid below the
surface layer of each raw nodule is low, the ceramsite sintered on the
surface layer at a sintering temperature is relatively low in water
absorption rate while density of an unsintered core region below the surface layer is relatively low, and finally the light ceramsite with low water
absorption rate and low overall density is obtained. The preparation method of the light ceramsite co-sintered on the surface by virtue of sodium borate has the advantages that the problems that the water
absorption rate of the ceramsite is low, strength is high and volume weight is low are solved; meanwhile, a technology is simple, operation is safe,
mass production can be realized, and cost is low.
