Abstract

The invention provides a low-cost method for preparing aerogel by means of atmospheric pressure drying. The method is characterized by comprising the steps of mixing a silicon source (comprising organosilicone and inorganic silicate) with water, adjusting the pH of a mixture system to a gel environment by using acid, and gelatinizing the mixture system to form hydrogel; then, washing the obtained hydrogel with tap water, and naturally draining off so as to reduce the salinity in the hydrogel; washing the hydrogel with a water solution prepared from a surface active agent and then naturally draining off, sending the hydrogel into an atmospheric pressure drying oven, wherein an ultrasonic generator is arranged in the drying oven, directly heating and drying under the assistance of ultrasonic wave so as to obtain the aerogel. The method greatly reduces the structural shrinkage, caused by a surface tension effect, of the hydrogel in a drying process by means of the assistance of ultrasonic wave, thus realizing low-cost atmospheric pressure drying preparation of the aerogel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the preparation of silicon dioxide airgel, in particular to a method for preparing silicon dioxide airgel by adopting ultrasonic-assisted heating and drying under normal pressure. Background technique [0002] Aerogel is a light, porous solid material with a particle size between 1 and 100nm. It is a typical nanomaterial, and its porosity can reach 80 to 99.8%. Due to the specific porous nano-network structure of airgel, it has incomparable excellent performance of other solid materials, and its density can reach as low as 3kg / m 3 , the specific surface area can reach 1000m 2 / g or more, the thermal conductivity is extremely low, and the room temperature vacuum thermal conductivity can even reach 0.00lw m -1 ·K -1 , These excellent properties of airgel make it widely used in heat insulation, sound insulation, environmental protection, catalysis, adsorption and high-performance capacitors. However, due to its expensive man...
