[0031] To address the potential toxicity risks of manganese tetroxide in vivo, this invention proposes a new feasible solution for preparing bio-friendly spherical nano-manganese tetroxide, specifically:
[0032] S1 mixes manganese salt with ultrapure water to obtain a manganese salt solution;
[0033] Optionally, the manganese salt can be manganese chloride (MnCl2), manganese acetate (generally in hydrate form Mn(CH3COO)2·4H2O), or manganese gluconate (Mn(C6H2O)2·4H2O). 11 One or more of O7)2), and optionally, the concentration of manganese ions in the manganese salt solution should be controlled at 0.5 to 1 mol / L;
[0034] S2. Add an appropriate amount of catalyst and modifier to the manganese salt solution and stir evenly. The catalyst is one or more of monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine, and the modifier is one or more of polyethylene glycol (e.g., PEG3000, PEG6000, etc.), sodium alginate and its derivatives, chitosan and its derivatives, and water-soluble cellulose and its derivatives.
[0035] For reference, the amount of catalyst added can be 1 to 10% of the mass of manganese ions, and the amount of modifier added can be 5 to 15% of the mass of manganese ions.
[0036] S3 is used to prepare an alkaline solution of a certain concentration;
[0037] Optionally, the alkaline solution is one or more of sodium hydroxide solution, potassium hydroxide solution, and ammonia solution, and the concentration of the alkaline solution is 1 to 6 mol / L;
[0038] S4 is used to prepare an acidic solution of a certain concentration;
[0039] Optionally, the acidic solution is one or more of phosphoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and citric acid, and the concentration of the acidic solution is 1 to 6 mol / L;
[0040] The order of steps S3 and S4 above can be adjusted arbitrarily, and reagents can be prepared in advance or purchased existing reagents can be used.
[0041] S5 is adjusted by adding alkaline and acidic solutions to adjust the pH of the manganese salt solution, and an appropriate amount of ultrapure water is added. After stirring evenly, the solution is poured into the hydrothermal reactor.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the pH of the manganese salt solution is adjusted to 4-6;
[0043] Alternatively, the concentration of manganese ions in the solution after adding ultrapure water can be 0.25–0.5 mol / L, and the solution volume can be 20–50% of the total volume of the hydrothermal reactor liner.
[0044] S6 Place the hydrothermal reactor into the drying oven, set a certain heating and heat preservation curve, and obtain manganese tetroxide slurry after the reaction is complete;
[0045] For reference, the heating and holding curve can be at a rate of 1 to 5°C / min, specifically heated to 150°C and then held for 8 to 10 hours.
[0046] S7 filters, rinses, and dries the manganese tetroxide slurry to obtain manganese tetroxide powder.
[0047] The rinsing process can be repeated three or more times with ultrapure water to remove other free ions from the items to be washed; the drying temperature should be 60-80℃ and the drying time should be 8-16 hours.
[0048] Experiments have verified that the product prepared by the method of this invention, when added to the environmental system in which biological cells exist, will not inhibit the growth of biological cells or reduce the survival rate of biological cells.
[0049] To further improve the safety of the above products, impurity content can be controlled from the raw material end, resulting in high-purity manganese tetroxide products with the following impurity content: Pb less than 500 ppb, Cd less than 500 ppb, Sn less than 50 ppm, Ni less than 1 ppm, Cr less than 1 ppm, and Cu less than 10 ppm. Specifically, this can be achieved by controlling the raw material end, i.e., ensuring that the impurity content of Pb, Cd, Sn, Ni, Cr, and Cu in the manganese salt is less than 500 ppb, 500 ppb, 500 ppm, 1 ppm, 1 ppm, and 10 ppm, respectively. In actual production, appropriate manganese salts can be selected according to production requirements. For example, if the impurity content of Pb, Cd, Sn, Ni, Cr, and Cu is less than 10 ppm, the impurity content of the manganese tetroxide product will also fall within this range.
[0050] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the manganese tetroxide product obtained by the present invention can be controlled to be less than 1 μm with a D50 and a specific surface area of 10–50 m². 2 / g, and even better, the particle size can be controlled within a D50 of 50–500 nm and a specific surface area of 10–20 m² / g. 2 / g.
