Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of heat insulation material preparation, in particular to a preparation method of light high-strength heat insulation material. BACKGROUND

[0002] The heat insulation materials in the cement and other industrial sintering systems are mostly nano heat insulation plates, which are mainly made of nano or micron-sized silicon dioxide, inorganic fibers and other small amount of additives by sintering or directly molded without sintering.

[0003] The heat insulation material directly molded without sintering has low strength, and has serious problems such as powder falling and cracking during use, which affects the heat insulation effect; and the heat insulation material prepared by sintering has a complex preparation process and high cost.

[0004] Therefore, how to omit the sintering process while ensuring that the prepared heat insulation material has high strength and does not fall powder and crack during use has become a technical problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a preparation method of light high-strength heat insulation material, which realizes high strength and light weight of the heat insulation material prepared without sintering in use, and avoids problems such as powder falling and cracking.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present application, a preparation method of light high-strength heat insulation material is provided, comprising the following steps: preparing inorganic fibers; pretreating the inorganic fibers to obtain primary inorganic fibers;

[0007] Mixing the ceramic powder, the first binder and the second binder with a curing agent uniformly to obtain a mixed powder;

[0008] The first binder and the second binder curing agent are solid powders;

[0009] Configuring a reinforcing additive solution, and immersing the primary inorganic fibers in the reinforcing additive solution to obtain secondary inorganic fibers;

[0010] Immersing the secondary inorganic fibers in a second binder solution to obtain tertiary inorganic fibers;

[0011] Mixing the tertiary inorganic fibers and the mixed powder uniformly to obtain a molding raw material;

[0012] Forming the molding raw material through a mold to obtain a ceramic body, and then standing, curing, demolding and obtaining the light high-strength heat insulation material.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects: by pretreating the inorganic fibers to obtain primary inorganic fibers and then dipping the primary inorganic fibers in a reinforcing aid solution to obtain secondary inorganic fibers, the modifier on the surface of the inorganic fibers in the finished thermal insulation material is chemically reacted with the reinforcing aid in the high temperature during use, so that the strength of the joint between the inorganic fibers is further enhanced, thereby facilitating the continuous increase in the strength of the thermal insulation material during use; meanwhile, the increase of the modifier and the reinforcing aid is realized by the surface modification of the inorganic fibers and the dipping of the primary fibers in the reinforcing aid, thereby avoiding the uneven combination of the modifier and the reinforcing aid in the thermal insulation material, avoiding the problem that the unreacted modifier and the reinforcing aid are dispersed between the inorganic fibers, and avoiding the reduction of the porosity and the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation material.

[0014] By mixing the ceramic powder with the first binder, the strength of the finished thermal insulation material is further significantly improved when the ambient temperature is within 100 DEG C during use, and the cracking problem does not occur during use, and meanwhile, the uniform pores are further generated with the increase of the temperature, thereby facilitating the improvement of the finished thermal insulation performance and the further reduction of the weight.

[0015] By uniformly mixing the ceramic powder with the second binder and the curing agent and dipping the secondary inorganic fibers in the second binder solution to obtain tertiary inorganic fibers, the bonding strength between the ceramic powder and the inorganic fibers is improved, and the strength of the obtained thermal insulation material is high at room temperature during non-use; and when the ambient temperature gradually increases to about 200 DEG C during use, the second binder solution is beneficial to further improving the porosity and the strength of the thermal insulation material, and the strength of the solid substances in the second binder solution gradually increases with the increase of the temperature, thereby further improving the strength of the thermal insulation material.

[0016] By the above scheme, the reinforcing aid is located between the modifier on the surface of the inorganic fibers and the solid substances in the second binder solution, and most of the reinforcing aid is combined with the modifier to be ceramicized, and a small part of the reinforcing aid is combined with the solid substances in the second binder solution to further improve the strength between the inorganic fibers and the ceramic powder.

[0017] Therefore, the finished thermal insulation material finally obtained has high strength before use, and the strength gradually increases with the increase of the temperature during use, the strength of the finished thermal insulation material gradually increases at different temperature stages, thereby avoiding the problems such as falling off and cracking of the finished product during use; meanwhile, the finished product has high porosity and good thermal insulation performance and light weight, and the porosity gradually increases during use, the thermal insulation performance is further improved, and the weight is further reduced.

When the temperature further increases, the paraffin gasifies, and the porosity increases.

[0021] The second binder curing agent includes one or more of sodium fluorosilicate, silicon phosphate, aluminum tripolyphosphate, and magnesium oxide, which is beneficial to achieving high strength of the product at room temperature without heating after demolding.

[0026] The second binder solution includes an inorganic binder solution and a room-temperature curing binder, which achieves high bonding strength of the ceramic powder and the inorganic fiber at room temperature through the room-temperature curing binder. At the same time, the inorganic fiber and the ceramic powder have high bonding strength at room temperature, and the inorganic binder is beneficial to further increasing the strength and further increasing the porosity and further reducing the weight during use.

[0027] Through the material ratio, the product has high strength at room temperature without use, and the strength gradually increases, the porosity further increases, and the product cracking or strength reduction problems caused by the increase in porosity are avoided.

[0028] Further, the inorganic binder solution includes a silicate aqueous solution and a phosphate aqueous solution.

[0029] The mass fraction of silicate in the silicate aqueous solution is 30-40%, and the mass fraction of phosphate in the phosphate aqueous solution is 30-40%.

[0030] The silicate is one or more of sodium silicate, potassium silicate, calcium silicate;

[0038] The beneficial effect of the above step is that, the second binder solution can be uniformly dispersed, and the ceramic powder and inorganic fiber can be bonded at room temperature with high strength.

[0039] Further, the specific process for pretreating the inorganic fiber to obtain the primary inorganic fiber is as follows:

[0040] The primary inorganic fiber is immersed in silica sol and dried to obtain the primary inorganic fiber with silica sol attached to the surface.
