Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of inorganic fiber preparation, and relates to an inorganic fiber prepared by using industrial solid waste and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Industrial solid waste, such as steel slag and basalt tailings, has a huge output, and these wastes are rich in components such as silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium oxide and magnesium oxide, which are basic chemical units for constituting high-performance silicate glass and ceramic materials. Therefore, using them as raw materials to prepare high-value-added inorganic fibers not only effectively absorbs solid waste, realizes the resource cycle of "waste into treasure", but also realizes the recycling of resources. However, using solid waste with complex components to directly prepare high-performance inorganic fibers by high-temperature melting method, the existing technology still faces a series of severe challenges from its inherent properties, and these deep-seated deficiencies greatly limit the upper limit of the performance of the product and the application field.

[0003] The existing technology faces the problems of high energy consumption and low fault tolerance of the process. The high content of refractory components such as silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide in solid waste raw materials forms a highly polymerized silicon-oxygen tetrahedral network, resulting in a generally high melting point, which directly translates into huge energy consumption and high production cost. At the same time, this highly polymerized network structure also brings extremely high melt viscosity. In order to realize continuous fiber drawing, it is necessary to operate in a very narrow temperature range with moderate viscosity, and small temperature fluctuations can cause a dramatic change in viscosity, leading to fiber breakage, dripping or the formation of spherical defects, making the entire production process extremely sensitive, with low process stability and low yield.

[0004] Secondly, uncontrolled crystallization behavior also restricts the mechanical properties of the fiber. Industrial solid waste naturally contains a large amount of iron, chromium, titanium oxides and high concentrations of calcium and magnesium ions. These components are efficient nucleating agents and network modifiers in high-temperature melts, and they lower the activation energy required for crystallization. Therefore, during the cooling process after being pulled out from the high-temperature bushing, the melt is prone to spontaneous and explosive crystallization, forming grains of uneven size, coarse morphology, and even dendritic crystals with sharp edges and corners. These coarse grains become stress concentration points and crack sources at the micro level, leading to the deterioration of the macro mechanical properties of the fiber, which has extremely high brittleness and loses its basic value as a reinforcing material. SUMMARY

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present application aims to provide an inorganic fiber prepared from industrial solid waste and a preparation method thereof.Through three kinds of additives, the present application realizes multi-level synergistic effect: rare earth doped low-temperature eutectic melts destroy the silicon-oxygen network and stabilize the depolymerized structure through its components, reduce the viscosity of solid waste melt and inhibit phase separation, creating a uniform melt environment for the subsequent process; carbon-coated composite nanoparticles realize synergistic viscosity reduction through in-situ carbothermal reduction reaction, and clarify the melt and remove internal defects using reaction gas; after the uniform and low-defect melt is drawn into a fiber, the apatite surface modified core-shell nanocrystals serve as the construction core of the microstructure, realizing hierarchical and time-sequential heterogeneous nucleation under a two-step heat treatment process, inducing the formation of fine and uniform microcrystalline phase in the fiber, and constructing a high-strength structural foundation; the homogenization of the low-temperature eutectic melt is a prerequisite for the uniform dispersion of the subsequent nanometer additives; the core-shell nanocrystals construct a microcrystalline matrix with high strength on this basis; and the residual core of the carbon-coated particles is positioned at the phase interface formed by the former, and the fiber is endowed with high toughness through a physical mechanism, realizing the improvement of comprehensive mechanical properties through the synergistic effect of the three.

[0048] Secondly, the present invention provides an inorganic fiber prepared using industrial solid waste.

[0049] This application introduces rare-earth-doped cryogenic eutectic to lower the system's process temperature and improve melt homogeneity. Boron oxide and calcium fluoride can disrupt and break down the original silicon-oxygen tetrahedral network structure in the solid waste melt, thereby reducing melt viscosity and widening the temperature window for fiber drawing. Simultaneously, the doped rare-earth ions can stabilize the depolymerized network structure, inhibit melt phase separation, and ensure that all subsequent chemical and physical processes are based on a uniform melt environment, providing the necessary prerequisite for the uniform dispersion of other additives.

[0050] Building upon this foundation, this application introduces carbon-coated composite nanoparticles for in-situ regulation of the micro-regional chemical atmosphere within the melt. During high-temperature melting, the pyrolytic carbon layer on the particle surface undergoes an in-situ carbothermic reduction reaction with high-valent iron oxides derived from solid waste raw materials and atmospheric oxidation during the melting process, converting trivalent iron ions, which form the network, into divalent iron ions, which are network modifiers. This chemical transformation not only synergistically reduces the melt viscosity in conjunction with the rare-earth-doped low-temperature eutectic, but also promotes the clarification and homogenization of the melt by generating trace amounts of gas, creating conditions for the preparation of low-defect precursor fibers.

[0051] When a uniform, low-viscosity melt enters the fiber forming and subsequent heat treatment stages, the core-shell nanocrystals modified on the apatite surface can induce the formation of a diffusely distributed nanoscale crystalline phase. Its multi-level core-shell structure—a highly stable zirconia core, a highly efficient nucleating titanium dioxide shell, and an apatite outer layer—enables hierarchical, time-sequential heterogeneous nucleation within a specific temperature range during heat treatment. Through a two-step heat treatment process—namely, sufficient nucleation at a lower temperature followed by controlled crystal growth at a higher temperature—a large number of fine and uniformly distributed microcrystals are formed within the fiber, forming the basis of the composite structure.

[0052] There is a synergistic effect among these three additives. The uniform, low-viscosity melt environment created by the rare-earth-doped low-temperature eutectic is the fundamental prerequisite for achieving uniform dispersion of the other two nano-additives. Based on this, the uniformly distributed apatite-modified core-shell nanocrystals induce uniform fine microcrystals throughout the fiber volume, thereby endowing the fiber with high strength. Simultaneously, thanks to the initial uniform dispersion, after the carbon-coated composite nanoparticles complete their chemical reduction, their residual high-hardness silicon nitride / silicon carbide cores can be distributed at the interface between the crystalline and glassy phases formed by the apatite-modified core-shell nanocrystals, effectively exerting physical toughening through pinning and crack deflection. This synergistic effect enables the inorganic fiber prepared using low-cost industrial solid waste to achieve excellent comprehensive mechanical properties of high strength and high toughness.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0054] The rare earth-doped low-temperature eutectic introduced in this application utilizes boron oxide and calcium fluoride in its composition to disrupt the silicon-oxygen network, thereby reducing the melt viscosity. At the same time, rare earth ions are used to stabilize the depolymerization network to suppress phase separation, thus achieving the dual purpose of reducing the process temperature and improving melt uniformity.

[0055] The carbon-coated composite nanoparticles introduced in this application utilize the in-situ chemical reduction of high-valent iron ions by their surface carbon in a high-temperature melt, transforming the increased viscosity of the network-forming trivalent iron ions into the decreased viscosity of the network-modified divalent iron ions. This process not only synergistically reduces the melt viscosity, but the resulting gaseous byproducts also clarify and homogenize the melt, collectively creating conditions for the preparation of low-defect fibers.

[0056] The apatite-modified core-shell nanocrystals in this application utilize their multi-level structure composed of zirconium oxide, titanium dioxide, and apatite to achieve hierarchical and time-sequential heterogeneous nucleation through a two-step heat treatment process. Ultimately, a large number of fine and uniformly distributed microcrystals are formed inside the fiber, laying the foundation for constructing a composite structure.

[0057] There is a synergistic effect among the three additives: the rare earth-doped low-temperature eutectic creates a uniform melt base environment; the core-shell nanocrystals modified on the apatite surface construct a fine microcrystalline structure with high strength; and the core of the carbon-coated composite nanoparticles plays a role at these microcrystalline interfaces to improve toughness, ultimately achieving a comprehensive improvement in both strength and toughness.

[0084] Comparative Example 1

[0085] This comparative example provides an inorganic fiber prepared from industrial solid waste. The difference from Example 1 is that borax is used instead of rare earth-doped low-temperature eutectic. Other operating steps and process parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0086] Comparative Example 2

[0087] This comparative example provides an inorganic fiber prepared from industrial solid waste. The difference from Example 1 is that titanium dioxide nanopowder is used to replace the core-shell nanocrystals modified with apatite surface. Other operating steps and process parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0088] Comparative Example 3

[0089] This comparative example provides an inorganic fiber prepared from industrial solid waste. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that no carbon-coated composite nanoparticles are added. All other operating steps and process parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0090] The performance of the inorganic fibers prepared from industrial solid waste in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested, and the specific process is as follows:

[0091] The tensile strength and elongation at break of the fiber were tested using a universal testing machine.

[0092] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0093] Table 1. Performance test results of inorganic fibers prepared from industrial solid waste in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0094]

[0095] As shown in Table 1, the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 indicate that borax was used to replace the rare earth-doped low-temperature eutectic. Because borax lacks the high field strength stabilizing ability of rare earth ions on the depolymerized silicon-oxygen network, microscopic phase separation occurred among the components in the high-temperature melt. This non-uniform melt structure led to inconsistent crystallization driving forces during subsequent heat treatment, easily forming microscopic defects at the phase interface, thus resulting in a decrease in tensile strength. The uniform nucleation effect of the core-shell nanocrystals modified on the apatite surface failed due to their uneven distribution, failing to form an effective fine-grained reinforcing network. This caused premature crack initiation in weak areas under stress, thus reducing its elongation at break.

[0096] As shown in Table 1, the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 indicate that replacing the core-shell nanocrystals modified with apatite surface with titanium dioxide nanopowder resulted in uncontrolled crystallization within a single temperature range of heat treatment, due to the lack of time-controlled nucleation through a hierarchical structure. This led to the formation of a small number of coarse-sized grains. The fine-grained reinforcement effect failed, and the coarse grains, acting as huge defect sources and stress concentration points, made cracks extremely prone to initiation and propagation, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength. This microstructure, containing a large amount of internal stress and coarse-grained defects, made the material brittle, causing it to fracture under extremely small strain, thus reducing its elongation at break.

[0097] As can be seen from the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1, without the addition of carbon-coated composite nanoparticles, due to the presence of efficient nucleating agents and a uniform melt environment in the system, a fine and uniform microcrystalline structure can be formed inside the fiber. This structure mainly determines the strength and stiffness of the material, so its tensile strength does not change much. However, since no high-hardness nanoparticles are introduced at the interface between the crystalline phase and the glass phase, the system lacks an effective physical toughening mechanism, the interface toughening effect fails, and once microcracks initiate in the matrix, they will propagate rapidly without hindrance and cannot effectively dissipate fracture energy through pinning and crack deflection, so its elongation at break decreases.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
