Neutron shielding foamed ceramic and method for preparing same

Abstract

The invention relates to neutron shielding foamed ceramic and a method for preparing the same. The method includes uniformly mixing zirconium oxide micro-powder, aluminum oxide micro-powder, rare earth element oxide, ammonium polymethylacrylate, sodium carboxymethyl celluloses, ethyl alcohol and water with one another to obtain slurry I; uniformly mixing gadolinium oxide micro-powder, clay, aluminum oxide micro-powder, polycarboxylate, sodium carboxyethyl celluloses, ethyl alcohol and water with one another to obtain slurry II; impregnating polyurethane sponges in the slurry I, carrying out injection by the aid of compressed air or centrifugal slurry spinning, and carrying out drying and heat insulation to obtain foamed ceramic prefabricated bodies; carrying out vacuum impregnation on thefoamed ceramic prefabricated bodies by the aid of the slurry II, carrying out injection by the aid of compressed air or centrifugal slurry spinning and carrying out drying; ultimately carrying out heat insulation under certain conditions to obtain the neutron shielding foamed ceramic. The neutron shielding foamed ceramic and the method have the advantages that the neutron shielding foamed ceramicprepared by the aid of the method is small in volume density, high in strength and excellent in chemical erosion resistance and neutron shielding performance.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of foam ceramics, in particular to a neutron shielding foam ceramic and a preparation method thereof. Background technique

[0002] After entering the 21st century, with the rapid development of nuclear industry technology, neutron and neutron source technology are widely used in energy, military, medical and agricultural industries. While benefiting people's lives, it also brings extremely destructive harm. Neutrons can cause harm to the human body through ionization and excitation due to their strong penetrating properties. At present, the main radiation shielding materials mainly have the following problems: large mass and volume, low mechanical strength, and poor resistance to acid and alkali erosion. Therefore, the preparation of high-performance radiation protection materials has become an urgent problem to be solved today.
