Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mineral pigment preparation, and particularly relates to a high-purity purification preparation method of lapis lazuli pigment. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a natural mineral pigment, lapis lazuli pigment has an irreplaceable position in rock varnish and mural painting, and its color is praised as "color phase like heaven". Traditional murals such as Dunhuang murals rely on high-purity lapis lazuli to achieve artistic effects, but currently, lapis lazuli pigments used in China mostly rely on imported raw stones from Afghanistan, which are processed into pigments through simple processes such as crushing, grading and water flying. In the prior art, lapis lazuli is prepared by a single grinding method, that is, through the steps of ore dressing, crushing and coarse grinding (80-100 mesh), washing and grading, magnetic separation to remove iron filings, acid washing to remove impurities, and finally drying the powder. Although this method can obtain basic pigments, it lacks effective purification processes, resulting in insufficient pigment purity, especially the color phase purity of fine particles above 350 mesh, which is as low as 60%-70%, which cannot restore the deep blue tone in traditional murals, affecting artistic restoration and cultural heritage.

[0003] The prior art is a simple crushing and grading method, which includes the following steps: removing impurities by ore dressing, crushing and coarse grinding to 80-100 mesh, washing and grading by water flying, magnetic separation to remove iron filings, acid washing to dissolve carbonate impurities, and finally drying the powder. However, this method has significant drawbacks: poor purification effect, mineral impurities remaining on the surface of lapis lazuli particles, low blue value, and inability to meet the needs of high-precision artistic creation. For example, the color phase purity of 350 mesh lapis lazuli fine particles is only 65%, resulting in dull colors when copying murals, and the acid washing process may introduce chemical residues, reducing the safety of the pigment.

[0004] Lapis lazuli pigment raw materials are valuable (top-grade Afghan lapis lazuli costs tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram), and the prior art does not solve the problem of purification, making high-purity preparation processes almost lost. This not only restricts the development of rock varnish and mural painting, but also affects the protection of cultural heritage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient purification method that optimizes material ratios and processes to improve the purity and color beauty of lapis lazuli, especially fine particles, while also considering process feasibility. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, and to provide a preparation method that optimizes material ratios and processes to improve the purity and color beauty of lapis lazuli, especially fine particles.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0007] A high-purity purification preparation method of lapis lazuli pigment, comprising the following steps,

[0008] (S1) Material weighing, accurately weigh the malachite powder, beeswax, resin, and pine resin according to the mass ratio of 4:1:1:2;

[0010] (S3) Filtration and molding, pour the slurry into a non-stick plate after filtration, cool to room temperature to solidify, roll into a long strip and segment;

[0011] (S4) Air drying and solidification, segment the material in a well-ventilated environment and air dry for 5-7 days, turn over and knead every day;

[0015] The above-mentioned high-purity purification preparation method of malachite pigment, preferably, the heating temperature in step (S2) is strictly controlled at 80-85℃, a temperature lower than 80℃ leads to insufficient dissolution of the resin, and a temperature higher than 85℃ initiates carbonization of the pine resin.

[0018] The above-mentioned high-purity purification preparation method of malachite pigment, preferably, during the kneading operation in step (S5), the hands are smeared with linseed oil to reduce the adsorption loss of the material surface. An oil film barrier is used to reduce the adsorption loss of fine particles and improve the yield.

[0019] Preferably, in the step (S6), the ultrasonic cleaning is performed by using a stepwise temperature program, i.e., first cleaning at 25 DEG C for 2 minutes, then cleaning at 40 DEG C for 5 minutes, and finally cleaning at 55 DEG C for 3 minutes. The temperature gradient of the present application can dissolve the wax-impurity complex, and avoid local overheating degradation.

[0020] The preparation method of the present application can form a complex coating layer by melting the resin with a specific acid value, beeswax with a saponification value of 85-100 mgKOH / g and pine resin at a precise temperature of 80-85 DEG C to coat the impurities of the pretreated lapis lazuli powder; after removing the mineral agglomerates by filtering through a 200 mesh metal screen, dynamic air drying (assisted by mechanical kneading and pressing) is performed in an environment with a humidity of ≤40%, to induce the formation of oriented microcracks with a density of ≥12 strips / mm 2 ; then, the impurities are efficiently dissolved in warm alkaline water at 40-45 DEG C by using the microcrack channels, and finally, the wax-impurity complex is completely stripped by using a stepwise temperature ultrasonic program (25 DEG C→55 DEG C), so that the purity of the lapis lazuli particles with a size of more than 350 meshes is increased to 85%-90%, the CIE b* value is ≤-40, and the color index is restored to the standard of traditional mural pigments.

[0031] Unless otherwise specified, various raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in the present application can be purchased from the market or can be prepared by existing methods.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A high-purity purification method of lapis lazuli pigment in the present application includes the following steps,

[0034] (S1) Material weighing, weighing 400g of lapis lazuli powder, 100g of bleached beeswax with a saponification value of 95mgKOH / g, 100g of mastic resin with an acid value of 4mgKOH / g, and 200g of dust-free pine resin;

[0035] (S2) Melt mixing, place the beeswax, resin and pine resin in a porcelain bowl and melt at 83℃±1℃ for 30 minutes, then add the lapis lazuli powder after stirring to liquid state, and continue stirring to form a uniform slurry;

[0037] (S4) Air drying and curing, the segmented material is placed in a 35% humidity and ventilated environment, and manually kneaded 3 times a day for 6 days to form microcracks;

[0038] (S5) Alkaline purification, immerse the air-dried material in 42℃ warm alkaline water containing 0.8wt% sodium carbonate, and knead for 60 minutes after rubbing with linseed oil with both hands, and replace the alkaline water every 20 minutes;

[0039] (S6) dewaxing and refining, the material is transferred into boiling water and boiled for 5 minutes, and then put into a 40 kHz ultrasonic cleaning machine and cleaned according to a ladder program of 25 DEG C / 2 min→40 DEG C / 5 min→55 DEG C / 3 min;

[0040] (S7) drying, dried in a 60 DEG C oven until the water content is 1.8%, and high-purity lapis lazuli pigment is obtained.

[0041] It is detected that the purity of the high-purity lapis lazuli pigment prepared in the embodiment reaches 88% (65% of raw material), the blue value b* is -42.5 (the raw material is -32.1), the color saturation is improved by 32%, the calcite residue is reduced to 0.3% (5.8% of raw material), and the pyrite residue is less than 0.1%. 83 DEG C melting forms a hydrogen bond wrapping layer (wrapping rate 92%) of resin-bee wax, 200 mesh filtering removes >75 μm agglomerates, and humidity 35% air drying combined with kneading generates 18 strips / mm 2 microcracks, and the alkali water penetration rate reaches 0.32 mm / min, which is improved by 220% compared with the conventional process. The final pigment particle size distribution is concentrated (D90=68 μm), and the water content is 1.8%, which meets the traditional fresco color standard.

[0054] It is detected that the embodiment verifies the influence of critical parameters on performance, B group (standard 83°C): purity 88%, b*-42.5, calcite residue 0.3%, consistent with example 1; A group (78°C): due to insufficient resin melting, the wrapping rate is only 61%, the purity drops to 72%, b* is-36.2, and the calcite residue rises to 3.1%; C group (88°C): the gray degree increases due to the carbonization of turpentine, the purity drops to 68%, b* is-34.8, and the carbonized impurities account for 12%. Under the humidity of 45% in the A / C group, the microcrack density is only 5 / mm 2 (B group 18 / mm 2 ), and the residual calcite after alkali washing is 8.5%. The data prove that the temperature of 80-85°C and the humidity of ≤40% are the process threshold.

[0055] Example 3

[0056] A method for preparing a high-purity lapis lazuli pigment according to the present application, comprising the following steps,

[0057] (S1) material weighing, weighing lapis lazuli powder 400g, saponification value 95mgKOH / g bleached beeswax 100g, acid value 7mgKOH / g frankincense 100g, and dust-free pine resin 200g;

[0058] (S2) melting and mixing, melting beeswax, frankincense and pine resin at 83°C for 30 minutes, and adding lapis lazuli powder after stirring to liquid state;

[0059] (S3) filtration and forming, continuously filtering the slurry through three layers of 200-mesh stainless steel mesh, and cooling and sectioning by rolling;

[0063] (S7) drying, drying in an oven at 60°C to a water content of 1.8%, and obtaining the purified lapis lazuli pigment.

[0064] The high-purity lapis lazuli pigment prepared in this embodiment has a purity of 85%, a blue value b* of -41.0, and an acid residue of 2.8%. Three layers of 200-mesh filters are used to remove agglomerates (>75 μm) caused by uneven dispersion of frankincense, and the residual is reduced to 0.6%; intensive kneading (once every 2 hours) maintains the microcrack density at 15 lines / mm 2 ; the yield of 350-mesh particles is 95% under the protection of linseed oil. Although the purity is slightly reduced, the color performance meets the demand for fresco copying, confirming that resins with an acid value of ≤5 mgKOH / g can be expanded to frankincense.

[0065] Example 4

The sandwich reaction kettle has a temperature control of ±0.5℃, which makes the thickness deviation of the wrapping layer less than 0.2 μm; the mechanical arm kneading (5N±0.3N) ensures the microcrack density at 17-19 lines / mm 2; vibration sieve removes >75μm agglomerates (0.4% residual). The series connection of ultrasonic units reduces the specific energy consumption by 40%, and the impurity residue is still ≤0.35% (calcite <0.2%, pyrite <0.1%) under 10 times production, verifying the scalability of the process.

[0075] Comparative Example 1

[0076] A method for purifying lapis lazuli according to the present comparative example, comprising the following steps,

[0077] (S1) Material weighing, weighing lapis lazuli powder 400g, bleached beeswax with saponification value 95mgKOH / g 100g, martis resin with acid value 4mgKOH / g 100g, and dust-free pine resin 200g;

[0078] (S2) Melt mixing, place the beeswax, resin, and pine resin in a porcelain bowl and melt at 83℃±1℃ for 30 minutes. After stirring to a liquid state, add the lapis lazuli powder and continue stirring to form a uniform slurry;

[0079] (S3) Filtration and molding, filter the slurry through a 200-mesh stainless steel screen to remove >75μm agglomerates, then pour it onto a non-stick plate and cool to room temperature to solidify, roll it into a 2cm diameter strip and cut it into 10cm segments;

[0080] (S4) Air drying and solidification, place the segmented material in a humidity-controlled environment (humidity 60%) for 7 days without kneading and pressing;

[0081] (S5) Alkali purification, immerse the air-dried material in 42℃ warm alkali water containing 0.8wt% sodium carbonate, and knead for 60 minutes after applying linseed oil with both hands. Replace the alkali water every 20 minutes;

[0082] (S6) Dewaxing and refining, transfer the material to boiling water and boil for 5 minutes, then immerse it in 40kHz single-temperature ultrasonic cleaning for 10 minutes (25℃ constant temperature);

[0083] (S7) Drying, dry the comparative sample at 60℃.

[0084] After testing, the purity of the lapis lazuli pigment prepared in this comparative example is only 75%, the blueness value b* is -35.6, and the calcite residue is as high as 8.3%. Static solidification under 60% humidity results in a microcrack density of 0, an alkali water penetration rate of only 0.1mm / min, and calcite cannot be effectively dissolved. Single-temperature ultrasonic (25℃) further causes 8.3% wax residue, blocking the pores of the pigment. The data show that humidity control and kneading and pressing are necessary conditions for purification.

[0085] Comparative Example 2

[0086] A method for purifying lapis lazuli according to the present comparative example, comprising the following steps,

[0087] (S1) Material weighing, take 400g of lapis lazuli powder, 100g of bleached beeswax with a saponification value of 95mgKOH / g, 100g of mastic resin with an acid value of 4mgKOH / g, and 200g of dust-free pine resin;

[0088] (S2) Melt mixing, place the beeswax, resin, and pine resin in a porcelain bowl and melt at 83℃±1℃ for 30 minutes. After stirring to a liquid state, add the lapis lazuli powder and continue stirring to form a uniform slurry;

[0089] (S3) Direct forming, skip the filtering step, and pour the slurry directly onto a non-stick plate to cool and roll;

[0090] (S4) Air drying and curing, place the formed material in a 35% humidity ventilated environment and manually knead 3 times a day for 6 days to form microcracks;

[0091] (S5) Alkaline purification, immerse the air-dried material in 42℃ warm alkaline water containing 0.8wt% sodium carbonate, and knead for 60 minutes after applying linseed oil with both hands. Replace the alkaline water every 20 minutes;

[0092] (S6) Delipidation refining, after purification, transfer the material to boiling water and boil for 5 minutes, then put it into a 40kHz ultrasonic cleaning machine and follow the 25℃ / 2min→40℃ / 5min→55℃ / 3min step program for cleaning;

[0093] (S7) Drying, dry in a 60℃ oven until the moisture content is 1.8%, and obtain the purified lapis lazuli pigment.

[0094] After testing, the purity of the lapis lazuli pigment prepared in this example dropped to 70%, the blueness value b* decreased to -38.5, and the pyrite residue reached 0.8%. Without 200 mesh filtering, the proportion of >100μm agglomerates was 23%(including 5.2% pyrite), and the encapsulated iron sulfide released Fe 2+ , making the pigment color gray. The air-dried microcrack density reached 17 / mm 2 , but the impurities inside the agglomerates could not contact the alkaline solution, resulting in 4.5% calcite residue.

[0095] Example 3

[0096] A lapis lazuli purification preparation method of this example includes the following steps,

[0097] (S1) Material weighing, take 400g of lapis lazuli powder, 100g of bleached beeswax with a saponification value of 95mgKOH / g, 100g of mastic resin with an acid value of 4mgKOH / g, and 200g of dust-free pine resin;

[0098] (S2) melt mixing, melt the beeswax, resin, and turpentine in a porcelain bowl at 83℃±1℃ for 30 minutes, add the malachite powder after stirring to liquid state, and continue stirring to form a uniform slurry;

[0099] (S3) filtration and molding, filter the slurry through a 200-mesh stainless steel screen to remove >75μm agglomerates, then pour it onto a non-stick plate and cool to room temperature to solidify, roll it into a 2cm diameter strip and cut it into 10cm segments;

[0100] (S4) air drying and curing, place the segments in a 35% humidity environment and manually knead them 3 times a day for 6 days to form microcracks;

[0101] (S5) purification with alkaline water, immerse the dried segments in 42℃ warm alkaline water containing 0.8wt% sodium carbonate, and knead them for 60 minutes with hands coated with linseed oil, replacing the alkaline water every 20 minutes;

[0102] (S6) dewaxing and refining, after purification, transfer the segments to boiling water and boil them for 5 minutes, then put them into a 40kHz ultrasonic cleaner and follow the program 25℃ / 2min→40℃ / 5min→55℃ / 3min;

[0103] (S7) drying, dry the segments in a 60℃ oven until the moisture content is 1.8%, and obtain the purified malachite pigment.

[0104] The purity of the malachite pigment prepared in the comparative example is only 72%, the blue value b* is as low as -34.1, and the calcite residue is as high as 4.1%. The ratio mismatch (beeswax:resin=1:0.5) results in a wrapping coverage of only 54%, and the lack of resin causes the exposure of calcite; the excess beeswax forms a wax layer with uneven thickness, and after stepwise ultrasonic cleaning, there are still 12% of wax residues, and after alkaline washing, the pigment agglomeration rate increases, and the yield of 350-mesh fine particles is insufficient.

[0105] The melting mixing, daily kneading to form microcracks, and stepwise ultrasonic cleaning in Example 1 achieve a purity of up to 88% and a deep blue tone of b* value -42.5, with a color saturation improvement of 32%; the omission of the kneading step in Comparative Example 1 results in a purity of 75% and a calcite residue of up to 8.3%, the cancellation of 200-mesh filtration in Comparative Example 2 increases the pyrite residue to 0.8%, and the ratio mismatch in Comparative Example 3 causes insufficient wrapping and 12% of wax residues. The present invention creatively combines material ratio (4:1:1:2), humidity control (≤40%), and mechanical kneading to induce microcracks, efficiently removes impurities, and at the same time, avoids the use of strong acid throughout the process, the alkaline water can be recycled, energy consumption is reduced by 40%, and Example 4 verifies the feasibility of industrialization, with a batch purity deviation of less than 0.5%, providing a reliable high-quality pigment for traditional mural art.
