Embodiment 1

[0100] Example 1: General method

[0101] Using a room temperature droplet microreactor device, the internal phase zirconia precursor sol and the external phase hexamethylenetetramine solution are mixed in the device, and then sheared by the continuous phase silicone oil. The fusion of zirconium sol and the coated form of hexamethylenetetramine solution triggers a gel reaction, and after washing, transparent gel microspheres are obtained. The transparent gel microspheres are sintered at high temperature to obtain zirconia ceramic microspheres. Concrete preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0102] 1) Prepare the microchannel device: use the glass slide as the substrate, insert the conical incident tube and the conical collecting tube from both ends of the square tube and arrange them coaxially, and assemble them in a nested manner. The thin cylindrical tube and the conical incident tube are in the same direction The conical incident tube is coaxially arranged an...

[0115] Example 3: Sintering the zirconia gel beads prepared by the room temperature droplet microreactor

[0116] The 160 μm gel microspheres prepared in Example 2 using the room temperature droplet microreactor were transferred to a crucible, placed in a sintering furnace for sintering, and the sintering process was below 600°C, and the temperature was raised at a rate of 0.5°C per minute , and held at 90°C, 240°C, 320°C, 470°C, and 600°C for 1 hour respectively, between 600°C and 1250°C, the temperature was raised at a rate of 1°C per minute, and kept at 1100°C for 1 hour. 1250°C was kept at the highest temperature for 2 hours, then dropped from 1250°C to 850°C at a rate of 8°C per minute, then naturally cooled to room temperature, and the sintering was completed to obtain zirconia ceramic microspheres with a size of 70 μm ( Figure 4 ).

Abstract

The invention provides a room temperature droplet micro-reactor and a method of producing zirconium dioxide gel microspheres. The room temperature droplet micro-reactor comprises an internal phase fluid inject pipe, an external phase fluid inject pipe, a collection pipe, and a continuous phase fluid inlet pipe. The internal phase fluid inject pipe is provided with a first inlet, a first outlet and an internal phase fluid channel. The external phase fluid inject pipe sleeves outside the internal phase fluid inject pipe. An inlet end of the collection pipe sleeves the external side of an outlet end of the external phase fluid inject pipe. A third outlet is formed by the inner periphery of the collection pipe and the outer periphery of the external phase fluid inject pipe. The continuous phase fluid inlet pipe sleeves the external sides of the external phase fluid inject pipe and the collection pipe. A continuous fluid channel is formed by the inner periphery of the continuous phase fluid inlet pipe and the outer periphery of the external phase fluid inject pipe. The continuous phase fluid inlet pipe is provided with a third inlet and the third outlet. The room temperature droplet micro-reactor can be used for preparing the gel microspheres having excellent sphericity degree and uniformity.
