Method for preparing porous silicon carbide ceramic

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of inorganic non-metallic materials and relates to a method for preparing porous silicon carbide ceramic. The method comprises that alkaline silica sol and silicon carbide ceramic powder are subjected to ball milling mixing to form silicon carbide ceramic water-based suspension slurry, a surfactant is added into the silicon carbide ceramic water-based suspension slurry, the mixture is stirred and foams at designed multiplying power, the foaming slurry is added with a coagulation accelerator, the mixture is stirred to form uniform slurry, the uniform slurry is poured into a mold without hydroscopicity, the alkaline silica sol is gelation-cured under the action of the coagulation accelerator, the blank is subjected to mold release and drying, then the blank is immersed with a certain amount of a C source-containing solution, and after solvent volatilization, the blank is subjected to reactive sintering at a high temperature in an argon protective atmosphere to produce the porous silicon carbide ceramic. The method has simple processes, low equipment requirements, uniform aperture distribution, controllable porosity and less pollution and can be used for industrial production of the porous silicon carbide ceramic with high porosity.
