Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of glass manufacturing, and in particular relates to blue high-borosilicate glass and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Borosilicate glass is a type of reinforced fire-resistant glass that, by modifying its composition, effectively reduces its coefficient of expansion, thereby improving its light transmittance, strength, softening point, and thermal conductivity. Borosilicate glass, primarily composed of boron trioxide and silicon dioxide, has a wide range of applications in aviation, instrumentation, lighting, fire protection, and tableware due to its excellent properties. As living standards improve, colored glass is gaining increasing attention. For example, blue borosilicate glass is created by adding specific colorants (such as metal oxides like cobalt and iron) to borosilicate glass. This glass not only inherits the excellent physical and chemical properties of borosilicate glass, but also boasts a distinctive blue appearance, making it widely used in various fields.

[0003] In the prior art, when preparing blue borosilicate glass, the colorants in its components are easily volatilized during the high-temperature melting stage, resulting in uneven color distribution of the borosilicate glass, affecting the final color and stability of the product; and traditional blue borosilicate glass contains a large amount of boron. Although its expansion coefficient is reduced, boron will volatilize to a certain extent during the melting and clarification process, resulting in waste of boron raw materials and increased production costs. At the same time, it will also cause changes in the mechanical properties and process performance of the borosilicate glass, affecting the final quality of the product. Summary of the Invention

The borate ester is combined with the silanized composite material to further enhance the mechanical properties, heat resistance and stability of the high borosilicate glass; the prepared modified colorant can not only make the high borosilicate glass appear blue, but also maintain the color under high temperature and high pressure conditions, and is not easy to fade and volatilize; silica, boron oxide, aluminum oxide, alkali metal oxide, composite clarifier and modified colorant are mixed, ball milled, melted at high temperature, clarified and homogenized, annealed, and cooled to obtain blue high borosilicate glass; the added composite clarifier has a good clarification effect, can eliminate tiny bubbles in the glass, improve the clarity of the glass, and effectively reduce the volatilization of boron; the finally prepared blue high borosilicate glass has good stability and mechanical properties, while reducing production costs and improving the quality of high borosilicate glass.

[0114] The blue high borosilicate glass prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8 was tested for bending strength, boron volatilization rate, bubble degree, and optical uniformity. The bending strength test method was as follows: the blue high borosilicate glass prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8 was made into several glass samples with a length of 120 mm, a width of 20 mm, and a thickness of 5 mm. A bending test was performed on a testing machine according to the glass material bending strength test method published in "JC / T676-1997". The bending strength of the high borosilicate glass sample was obtained by calculating the maximum complete stress at the cross section under load. The bending strength of the glass sample was obtained by averaging the results of repeated bending tests. The boron content and boron volatilization rate were determined according to "GBZ / T 160.27-2004". The bubble degree was tested according to "GB / T 7962.8-2010". The optical uniformity was tested according to "GB / T 7962.3-2010". The test results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0115] Table 1 Performance parameters of blue borosilicate glass prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-8

[0116]

[0117] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 above that, by comparing Comparative Examples 1-2 and Example 3, it can be seen that the mass of cobalt chloride and aluminum chloride in step S1 is replaced with cobalt nitrate and aluminum nitrate, or the cobalt blue material in step S1 is coated with silica to prepare a modified colorant. The test results are worse than those in Example 3, indicating that the cobalt blue material synthesized by a hydrothermal method using cobalt chloride and aluminum chloride can present a better blue color, which can not only increase the blue effect and uniformity of the high borosilicate glass, but also make the blue color of the high borosilicate glass more stable, not easy to volatilize and fade, and can effectively reduce the volatilization of boron in the glass; by wrapping the cobalt blue material with mesoporous silica, the stability of the cobalt blue material can be increased, making it not easy to volatilize, and reducing the volatilization of boron in the glass, further improving the mechanical properties and stability of the high borosilicate glass;

[0118] By comparing Comparative Examples 3-4 with Example 3, it can be seen that the mass of the borate ester in step S3 is replaced by triisopropyl borate or tributyl borate, and the modified colorant is finally prepared. The test results are worse than those of Example 3, indicating that the borate ester composed of a mixture of triisopropyl borate and tributyl borate can not only improve the heat resistance and stability of the glass, but also increase the boron content in the glass component, further enhance the mechanical properties and stability of the high borosilicate glass, while reducing the volatilization of boron, making the blue color of the high borosilicate glass more uniform, and effectively improving the quality of the high borosilicate glass;

[0119] By comparing Comparative Examples 5-8 with Example 3, it can be seen that the modified colorant in step A1 is replaced with cobalt oxide, or the composite clarifier is composed of a mixture of cerium dioxide and sodium sulfate, or the composite clarifier is composed of a mixture of cerium dioxide and tin oxide, or the composite clarifier is composed of a mixture of sodium sulfate and tin oxide to prepare blue high borosilicate glass. The test results are worse than those of Example 3, indicating that the blue high borosilicate glass prepared by mixing the modified colorant with other glass raw materials effectively improves the mechanical properties and stability of the high borosilicate glass, reduces the volatilization of boron and the generation of bubbles, increases its optical uniformity, and makes its coloring more stable and less volatile; the composite clarifier composed of a mixture of cerium dioxide, sodium sulfate and tin oxide can play a synergistic role, improves its clarity during the glass melting process, further improves the mechanical properties of the high borosilicate glass, effectively reduces the volatilization of boron, and ultimately improves the quality of the glass.

[0120] As can be seen from Table 1 above, the blue high borosilicate glass prepared in Example 1-3 is compared with the blue high borosilicate glass prepared in Comparative Example 1-8. The cobalt blue material is wrapped by mesoporous silica, and then combined with a silane coupling agent, and then combined with a borate to prepare a modified colorant. Silica, boron oxide, aluminum oxide, alkali metal oxide, a composite clarifier and a modified colorant are mixed, ball milled, melted at high temperature, clarified and homogenized, annealed, and cooled to obtain a blue high borosilicate glass, which meets the test performance requirements. The blue high borosilicate glass prepared in Comparative Example 1-8 does not meet the performance requirements. This shows that the blue high borosilicate glass prepared by the present invention can not only improve the mechanical properties and stability of the glass, but also effectively reduce the volatilization of boron and the generation of bubbles, increase optical uniformity, and make the high borosilicate glass have a more significant blue color, and the coloring is more stable and lasting, not easy to volatilize, thereby improving the quality of the glass.
