Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building insulation materials, and particularly relates to an ultra-lightweight insulation material based on physical-chemical synergistic foaming and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Insulation materials are important material basis for building energy saving. Although new high-efficiency insulation materials such as aerogel and vacuum insulation panels have extremely low thermal conductivity, they have key problems such as high cost, complex construction and performance decay. Foamed polystyrene and other organic materials have good insulation effect, low price and convenient construction, and are widely used, but they are flammable and difficult to meet the A-class non-combustible standard, which poses a fire hazard. Cement-based insulation materials have the advantages of low cost and non-combustibility, and their thermal conductivity is 0.08-0.22 W / m·K, which is significantly higher than that of organic insulation materials (0.025-0.042 W / m·K). Moreover, the bulk density of cement-based insulation materials is much higher than that of organic insulation materials, which limits their application in actual engineering. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop new ultra-lightweight insulation materials that take into account ultra-low thermal conductivity and A-class fire safety, meet the building energy saving needs, and improve the fire safety of buildings. SUMMARY

[0003] Therefore, the present application aims to provide an ultra-lightweight insulation material based on physical-chemical synergistic foaming to solve the problem that the bulk density and thermal conductivity of existing cement-based insulation materials are much higher than those of organic insulation materials, which limits their application in actual engineering.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purposes, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows:

[0005] An ultra-lightweight insulation material based on physical-chemical synergistic foaming comprises the following components by weight: light-burned magnesium oxide: 28-37 parts, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate: 18-26 parts, foaming agent: 3.6-5.4 parts, thickening agent: 4.1-5.7 parts, modifier: 0.1-0.4 parts, hydrogen peroxide: 1.5-2.3 parts, potassium iodide: 0.6-1.3 parts, and water: 45-58 parts.

[0006] Optionally, the foaming agent is a mixture of sodium dodecyl sulfate, animal protein and water, and the mass ratio of sodium dodecyl sulfate, animal protein and water is (1.8-2.3):(2.9-3.6):(93-97).

[0007] Optionally, the thickening agent is a mixture of xanthan gum and warm rubber, and the mass ratio of xanthan gum and warm rubber is (1.2-1.7):(0.7-1.6).

[0008] Optionally, the modifier is a mixture of malic acid and tartaric acid, wherein the mass ratio of the malic acid to the tartaric acid is (1.5-1.7):(2.3-2.9).

[0009] Optionally, the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is 30%.

[0010] A second object of the present application is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned super-lightweight thermal insulation material based on physical-chemical synergistic foaming, which comprises the following steps:

[0011] 1) uniformly mixing the magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, the modifier and the water to prepare a magnesium sulfate solution;

[0012] 2) placing the light-burned magnesium oxide, the hydrogen peroxide, the potassium iodide and the magnesium sulfate solution in a blender and stirring them uniformly to obtain a magnesium oxysulfate cement slurry;

[0013] 3) uniformly mixing the foaming agent and the thickening agent, and then placing them in a stirring container and stirring them at a high speed to obtain a prefabricated foam;

[0014] 4) uniformly stirring the magnesium oxysulfate cement slurry and the prefabricated foam, standing for 15-20 min, and cutting to obtain the super-lightweight thermal insulation material based on physical-chemical synergistic foaming.

[0015] Optionally, the stirring time of the high-speed stirring in step 3) is 60-90 s, and the stirring rate is 800-1200 rpm.

[0016] The preparation mechanism of the present application is as follows:

[0017] The super-lightweight thermal insulation material is prepared by the physical-chemical synergistic foaming process, specifically by introducing hydrogen peroxide with self-generating gas capacity into the cement matrix to increase the number of closed pores in the cement matrix, so that it becomes a porous lightweight thermal insulation material. Then, the prefabricated foam is added and stirred uniformly. At this time, the hydrogen peroxide continues to release gas inside the cement slurry, on the one hand, causing the cement matrix to swell and optimizing its thermal insulation performance; on the other hand, further introducing gas into the prefabricated foam, causing it to swell again inside the cement slurry, realizing the homogenization control of the pore structure, and further realizing the super-lightweight design.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the super-lightweight thermal insulation material based on physical-chemical synergistic foaming has the following advantages:

[0019] 1) The super-lightweight thermal insulation material is prepared by the physical-chemical synergistic foaming process, and the obtained super-lightweight thermal insulation material has a significantly reduced mass of 60-80 kg / m 3, and 7d strength is greater than or equal to 100 kPa, A-grade non-combustible, thermal conductivity is less than or equal to 0.038 W / (m*K), effectively solving the problems of high bulk density and large thermal conductivity of the existing cement-based thermal insulation materials, greatly improving the popularization and application of the cement-based thermal insulation materials.
