Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing sound-absorbing materials based on expanded perlite particles. Background Technology
[0002] Expanded perlite is an inorganic granular material produced from perlite ore through crushing, drying, screening, preheating, calcination, and expansion. The granules have a porous internal structure, providing thermal insulation and sound absorption. Under normal operating conditions, expanded perlite's performance is not easily affected by dryness, extreme cold, high temperature, humidity, electrochemical corrosion, or the growth of insects, fungi, or algae, exhibiting excellent performance stability. It possesses advantages that commonly used porous fiber sound-absorbing materials (such as glass wool and rock wool) lack, and offers a higher cost-performance ratio.
[0003] However, expanded perlite granules are usually a mixture of granules of different sizes, and the proportions of various sizes vary considerably between different manufacturers and batches. This also results in the production of a certain proportion of granular powder (which can clog the pores of the material, thus reducing its sound absorption performance). Due to these factors, the stability of the sound absorption performance of expanded perlite granules is somewhat reduced. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing sound-absorbing materials based on expanded perlite particles. This invention changes the problems of unstable sound absorption performance and poor designability of sound absorption performance parameters of expanded perlite particles.
[0005] This invention provides a method for preparing a sound-absorbing material based on expanded perlite particles, comprising the following steps:
[0006] 1) The expanded perlite particle sample was sieved according to three particle sizes to remove small particles and powder with a particle size of no more than 1.50 mm, and expanded perlite particles with three particle sizes were obtained. The mesh numbers of the three particle sizes are recorded as m7, m10 and m14.
[0007] The sound absorption performance of expanded perlite particles of the three particle sizes at different thicknesses was measured to obtain their respective measured sound absorption coefficients. Then, the arithmetic mean of the measured sound absorption coefficients of expanded perlite particles of the three particle sizes at the same thickness was calculated, and rounded to the nearest 0.05 to obtain the baseline sound absorption coefficients of expanded perlite particles at different thicknesses, denoted as α. T,f ;
[0008] 2) Weigh the expanded perlite particles of the three different sizes by volume respectively;
[0009] 3) Based on the volume obtained from weighing in step 2), calculate the volume percentage of each of the three sizes of expanded perlite particles according to the following formulas I-III, with the total volume of the three sizes of expanded perlite particles being 100%.
[0010]
[0011]
[0012]
[0013] In formulas I-III, The volume percentage of expanded perlite particles with an average particle size of m7 (%).
[0014] The volume percentage of expanded perlite particles with an average particle size of m10 is %.
[0015] The volume percentage of expanded perlite particles with an average particle size of m14 mesh, expressed as %.
[0016] V m7 The weighing volume (L) of expanded perlite particles with an average particle size of m7 is given.
[0017] V m10 The weighing volume of expanded perlite particles with an average particle size of m10 is given in L.
[0018] V m14 The weighing volume (L) of expanded perlite particles with an average particle size of m14 mesh;
[0019] 5) In equations I-III, Substitute into Equation IV or Equation V below to calculate, and obtain the predicted value of the positive incident sound absorption characteristics of the expanded perlite particle sample, or mix particles of different particle size ranges to obtain the required acoustic performance curve, and thus obtain the sound absorption material based on expanded perlite particles.

[0022] In equations IV and V, f represents the frequency, which is 100Hz to 2000Hz;
[0023] α′ T,f Predicted sound absorption performance of expanded perlite particles of different sizes mixed in a certain proportion;
[0024] α T,f The reference values for the sound absorption coefficient of expanded perlite particles of different thicknesses in the frequency range of 100Hz to 2000Hz;
[0025] When f is between 100Hz and 500Hz, excluding 500Hz, α′ is calculated using Equation IV. T,f ;
[0026] When f is between 500Hz and 2000Hz, α′ is calculated using Equation V. T,f .
[0027] In the above method, the expansion coefficient of the expanded perlite particle sample is 10 to 30 times.
[0028] In the above method, m7, m10, and m14 are 5-8 mesh, 9-10 mesh, and 12-15 mesh, respectively, and can specifically be 7, 10, and 14 mesh.
[0029] In the above method, in step 1), the expanded perlite particles of the three particle sizes can be 50-200 mm thick at different thicknesses, specifically 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm.
[0030] In the above method, the sound absorption performance is measured using the impedance tube method;
[0031] The frequency at which the sound absorption performance is measured can be from 100Hz to 2000Hz.
[0032] In the above method, in formula IV, α′ T,f If its value is greater than 1.00, it takes the value of 1.00.
[0033] In this invention, step 2) can be performed using various weighing devices or containers.
[0034] The present invention also provides a sound-absorbing material based on expanded perlite particles prepared by the above method.
[0035] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0036] This invention uses a screening mechanism to sieve expanded perlite particles of different particle sizes, arranges the particles according to their mesh size, and removes tiny particles and powder. Then, expanded perlite particles of different sizes are combined in the original proportion or in a free combination manner to achieve controllability and predictability of sound absorption performance. This changes the problem of unstable sound absorption performance and poor designability of sound absorption performance parameters of the original expanded perlite particles.
