Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of inorganic pigment preparation technology, and particularly relates to an in-situ preparation method of bismuth vanadate composite pigment. Background Technology
[0002] Bismuth vanadate is a high-performance, environmentally friendly yellow inorganic pigment, often used to replace heavy metal yellow pigments such as chrome yellow and cadmium yellow. Bismuth vanadate pigments possess numerous excellent characteristics, including easy dispersibility, vibrant color, high weather resistance, and high tinting strength. However, the high cost of raw materials makes bismuth vanadate pigments expensive, costing more than ten times that of lead chrome yellow and organic yellow pigments. This severely hinders the widespread market application of environmentally friendly bismuth vanadate pigments. Currently, bismuth vanadate pigments are only used in high-end products or in fields with high requirements for pigment performance and environmental friendliness, such as high-end coatings and plastics that come into contact with food.
[0003] Bismuth vanadate composite pigments are one of the main methods for reducing costs. By combining them with low-cost materials, the use of expensive raw materials such as vanadium and bismuth can be reduced, thereby significantly lowering costs. The preparation methods for bismuth vanadate composite pigments mainly include solid-phase methods, liquid-phase methods, and twin-screw extrusion. Among these three methods, the liquid-phase method can yield bismuth vanadate pigments with the smallest particle size, high purity, and strong controllability. However, it still suffers from uneven reaction, making it impossible to effectively and uniformly combine the two materials, resulting in pigment performance significantly lower than that of pure bismuth vanadate pigments.
[0004] Titanium nickel yellow pigment possesses a wide chromatographic range, is easily dispersed, has good hiding power, and a long service life. Among pale yellow pigments, it exhibits good gloss and color retention. Titanium nickel yellow is inexpensive and is frequently used in coatings for construction, steel, painting, and in general plastics, rubber, building materials, and ceramics. Titanium nickel yellow is a pale yellow pigment, weaker than the bright yellow of bismuth vanadate pigments. Strong shear force is generated under the relative high-speed motion of the stator and rotor, enabling rapid dispersion and effectively promoting the homogeneity of the reaction. This invention utilizes the effect of strong shear force to simplify the bismuth vanadate synthesis reaction and promote the uniform in-situ composite of bismuth vanadate and titanium nickel yellow. This results in a low-cost, high-performance bismuth vanadate composite pigment. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an in-situ preparation method for bismuth vanadate composite pigments, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies. By combining the advantages of high color performance of bismuth vanadate pigments and low cost of titanium nickel yellow, this invention proposes to use titanium nickel yellow as the core and synthesize bismuth vanadate uniformly in situ on the surface of titanium nickel yellow under strong shear force, ultimately forming a high-performance bismuth vanadate composite pigment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for in-situ preparation of bismuth vanadate composite pigment, characterized in that: firstly, a bismuth compound is dissolved in an acidic solution, and after complete dissolution with an appropriate amount of surfactant, titanium nickel yellow pigment particles are added; under strong shear force, a vanadium compound is added to the above mixed solution. After reaction at a certain temperature and pH value, the precipitate separated from the mixed solution is washed, dried, and then heat-treated to obtain bismuth vanadate composite pigment powder.
[0008] The bismuth compound is at least one of bismuth nitrate, bismuth sulfate, and bismuth oxide, and the concentration of bismuth element in acidic solution is 0.01–0.4 mol / L.
[0009] The acid solution is a nitric acid solution or a hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration of 1–3 mol / L.
[0010] The surfactant is any one of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone, with an addition concentration of 0.001 mol / L to 0.2 mol / L.
[0011] The titanium nickel yellow particles are smaller than 2 μm in size and are added at 15% to 200% of the mass of the vanadium compound.
[0012] The vanadium compound is at least one of ammonium metavanadate, sodium metavanadate, potassium metavanadate, and vanadium oxide.
[0013] The alkaline solution is one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or ammonia water, with a concentration of 1–3 mol / L.
[0014] The strong shearing force is achieved using a high-speed shearing machine. The high-speed shearing machine operates at 500 rpm to 8000 rpm.
[0015] The reaction temperature is 40℃~90℃, the pH value is 3.5~7, and the reaction time is 0.5h~3h.
[0016] The heat treatment temperature is 350℃~500℃, and the treatment time is 1h~2h.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] 1) By combining the high color performance of bismuth vanadate pigments with the low cost of titanium nickel yellow, a method for in-situ synthesis of a bismuth vanadate / titanium nickel yellow composite yellow inorganic pigment using titanium nickel yellow as a base is proposed. The main pigment properties, Lab value, hiding power, and dilution strength, are significantly improved. 2) Under strong shear force, the synthesis reaction of bismuth vanadate on the titanium nickel yellow surface is ensured to be uniform, while avoiding the use of large amounts of alkaline solution as a base liquid in conventional methods.
