preparation example Construction

[0198] The preparation (method 2) of formula (1) synthetic zinc hectorite sheet comprises steps:

[0199] A reaction mixture is formed comprising the following components:

[0200] selected from K + 、Na + , Li + , NH 4 + and mixtures thereof, preferably Li + 、Na + Sources of I from the group consisting of and mixtures thereof;

[0201] Source of lithium, source of silicon; source of zinc,

[0202] optionally a source of fluoride and / or a source of hydroxide, preferably hydroxide;

[0203] and

[0204] optionally pre-formed seeds of zinc hectorite,

[0205] hydrothermally treating the reaction mixture under alkaline conditions at a temperature of about 150 to about 250° C. and a pressure of about 50 to about 400 psi to form synthetic zinc hectorite flakes;

[0206] and

[0207] Synthetic hectorite formed is optionally isolated, wherein the silicon source is colloidal silica.

[0208] It is also possible to combine the above two approaches, that is, to use colloidal...

Embodiment 1

[0385] Synthesis of zinc hectorite (Li x Zn 3-x Li x Si 4 o 10 (OH) 2

[0386] The starting reagents were colloidal silica, zinc sulfate heptahydrate and lithium hydroxide. Add 2M LiOH solution to the zinc sulfate and swirl the contents to mix. Water was added and the reaction mixture was transferred to a Parr reactor. Colloidal silica is added to form a hydrogel. The Parr reactor was sealed and placed in an oven at 200°C for 24-72 hours. When cooled to room temperature, the reaction was filtered and washed with D.I. water to give a white powder.

Embodiment 2

[0389] Synthesis of zinc hectorite (Li x Zn 3-x Li x Si 4 o 10 (OH) 2

[0390] The starting reagents were colloidal silica, zinc sulfate heptahydrate and lithium hydroxide. Add 2M LiOH solution to the zinc sulfate and swirl the contents to mix. Water and trisodium citrate dihydrate were added and the reaction mixture was transferred to a Parr reactor. Colloidal silica is added to form a hydrogel. The Parr reactor was sealed and placed in an oven at 200°C for 24-72 hours. When cooled to room temperature, the reaction was filtered and washed with D.I. to give a white powder.

Abstract

This invention relates to synthetically derived zinc hectorite platelets, of superior platelet diameter, effect pigments comprising such synthetically derived platelets and methods of forming said substrates. More specifically the disclosure describes an improved hydrothermal synthesis of zinc hectorite suitable as a platelet for interference pigments, barrier and flame retardant applications.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application Serial Nos. 61 / 776,228, 61 / 776,262, both filed March 11, 2013 and both incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. technical field [0002] The present application relates to an improved process for the production of synthetic zinc hectorite flakes with large diameters via hydrothermal conditions; the hectorites obtainable by said process and the hectorite flakes with large diameters themselves. Background technique [0003] Natural hectorite usually has the formula Na 0.3 (Mg,Li) 3 Si 4 o 10 (OH) 2 . [0004] The synthetic preparation of hectorite via hydrothermal processing is well known. For example, US Patent Nos. 3,954,943 and 3,586,478 teach the synthesis of fluorine-containing hectorites by hydrothermal methods. [0005] It is also known to prepare synthetic zinc hectorite via low temperature and pressure hydrothermal. See eg Komarneni, S. et al., Clays and Clay Minerals, Vol. 50, ...
