Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of preparation processes of nanoporous materials, and relates to a method for preparing low-cost SiO2 aerogel, and particularly to a low-cost SiO2 aerogel prepared from an inorganic silicon source. Background Art
[0002] After years of research and improvement, SiO2 aerogel has now become a high-performance material with wide applications.
[0003] The main raw materials for preparing SiO2 aerogel are divided into organic silicon sources and inorganic silicon sources. Organic silicon sources include functional silanes such as methyl orthosilicate and ethyl orthosilicate. Currently, both in research and industrialization, organic silicon sources are used as raw materials, and CO2 supercritical drying or ethanol supercritical drying is used as the drying method. Inorganic silicon sources refer to silicates, silica sols, etc., which can be dissolved and dispersed in an aqueous solvent system to prepare silica sol. Silicate refers to a class of compounds composed of silicate ions and cations, such as sodium silicate. Inorganic silicon sources are widely available and relatively low in price, and atmospheric pressure drying is used as the drying method. However, the route of combining an inorganic silicon source aqueous system with atmospheric pressure drying has not yet been popularized to the industrialization stage. The main reason is that in the atmospheric pressure drying stage, the modification of functional silanes and the solvent replacement with low surface tension solvents such as n-hexane are inevitable, which results in a long and cumbersome preparation cycle. In addition, there is no advantage in cost reduction, and the cost is even higher than that of the traditional organic silicon source route. This is also the difficulty and great challenge in preparing aerogel from inorganic silicon sources.
[0004] In 2017, Xi'an University of Science and Technology used water glass as the raw material and hydrochloric acid as the catalyst, and prepared silica aerogel powder by sol-gel method, surface modification with hexamethyldisilazane / trimethylchlorosilane and atmospheric pressure drying in an alcohol / water system. The density of this material is 150 kg / m 3 , the porosity is as high as 90%, and the preparation cycle is more than 146 h. In 2018, KU Leuven in Belgium used water glass as the raw material and hydrochloric acid as the catalyst, and prepared SiO2 aerogel powder by sol-gel method, surface modification with n-hexane / trimethylchlorosilane / isopropanol solution and atmospheric pressure drying in an alcohol / water system. The density of this material is 132 kg / m 3 , the thermal conductivity is 0.0254 W / (m·K), and the preparation cycle is more than 45 h. In 2019, Wuhan University of Technology used water glass as the raw material and hydrochloric acid as the catalyst, and prepared SiO2 aerogel powder by sol-gel method, surface modification with hexamethyldisilazane / trimethylchlorosilane and atmospheric pressure drying in an alcohol / water system. The density of this material is 121 kg / m 3, the thermal conductivity is 0.0245 W / (m·K), and the preparation period is more than 50 h. From the above examples, it can be seen that the long preparation period is the main shortcoming. In addition, the catalysts involved in the experiment are controlled products such as hydrochloric acid, which seriously hinders the further promotion of the industrialization of aerogels. Therefore, it is necessary to explore and develop a low-cost and environmentally friendly preparation process for silicon-based aerogels to solve the current problems of high cost and long cycle. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the limitations in the preparation process of SiO2 aerogels that rely on hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, etc., and at the same time solve the technical problems such as long and cumbersome material preparation cycles in the inorganic silicon source preparation technology of SiO2 aerogels. A low-cost preparation method for SiO2 aerogels is developed, and a green and environmentally friendly process route is formed to obtain a low-cost inorganic silicon source SiO2 aerogel whose adiabatic performance can be comparable to that of SiO2 aerogels prepared from organosilicon sources.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: Using a low-cost inorganic silicon source as the raw material and deionized water as the solvent, hydrophobic SiO2 aerogel is obtained through the sol-gel method in combination with supercritical drying or atmospheric drying, realizing the preparation of non-hydrochloric acid, nitric acid-catalyzed, inorganic silicon source SiO2 aerogel. This material has a three-dimensional nano-porous network structure. Compared with SiO2 aerogels prepared from organosilicon sources and traditional atmospheric drying, the preparation period is greatly shortened. This process is green and environmentally friendly, and also avoids the use of organosilicon sources, reducing costs and improving industrialization efficiency. The density of the prepared SiO2 aerogel is 43 - 115 kg / m 3 , the volume shrinkage rate is 2.6% - 32.3%, the porosity is 94% - 98%, the thermal conductivity is 0.018 - 0.025 W / (m·K), the water contact angle is 110° - 152°, the specific surface area is 265 - 736 m 2 / g, the average pore diameter is 15 - 60 nm, and it has a uniform three-dimensional network porous structure.
[0007] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A preparation method for low-cost SiO2 aerogel, and its specific steps are as follows:

After maintaining the gas introduction for a certain time, stop the gas introduction and let it stand to gel to obtain SiO2 wet gel;
[0010] (2) Preparation of SiO2 aerogel

[0014] Preferably, the molar concentration of the inorganic silicon source solution described in step (1) is 0.7 - 1.5 mol / L.
[0015] Preferably, adjust the rotation speed of the magnetic stirrer in step (1) to 100 - 300 r / min.
[0016] Preferably, the method of introducing CO2 gas in step (1) is to directly insert a rubber tube into the bottom of the transparent solution, the rate is 50 - 300 mL / min, keep the ventilation time for 25 - 90 min, and immediately remove the rubber tube after the ventilation is completed.

[0022] Beneficial effects:
[0023] (1) Compared with the current methods for preparing SiO2 aerogel using organosilicon sources and inorganic silicon sources, the present invention prepares SiO2 aerogel by catalyzing with CO2 gas, and the gel time and gel network structure can be regulated by controlling the flow rate of CO2 gas. The preparation method described in the present invention avoids the use of controlled products such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid, and has the properties of low cost and environmental friendliness.
[0024] (2) Compared with the process of preparing SiO2 aerogel by the traditional atmospheric pressure drying method, the preparation method described in the present invention strengthens and stabilizes the pore structure of the wet gel with CO2, rather than through traditional functional silane chemical grafting modification and low surface tension organic solvent replacement. Therefore, the large amount of organic solvents is avoided, and industrialization is expected to be realized. And CO2 is generated by the reaction of sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate generated during the gelation process with the acidic aging solution. Sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate generated during the gelation process is evenly dispersed in the gel body, which also makes the pore structure of the wet gel uniformly strengthened and stabilized by CO2.
