Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat-insulating powder, and particularly relates to a novel lightweight heat-insulating powder material and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lightweight heat-insulating materials are materials with excellent heat-insulating performance, usually having a lightweight, loose, porous or fibrous structure, with excellent heat-insulating performance, low density, high porosity, and good fire resistance and high-temperature resistance. Lightweight heat-insulating materials block the conduction of heat through the air inside them and are widely used in the heat insulation of walls, roofs, thermal pipelines, furnaces, etc. to reduce heat transfer and save energy.

[0003] There are many types of lightweight heat-insulating materials. According to the material composition, they can be divided into two major categories: inorganic and organic. Among them, inorganic heat-insulating materials not only can withstand high temperatures, have good thermal stability and heat-insulating properties, but also have outstanding advantages such as stable performance (fireproof, small deformation coefficient, anti-aging, strong durability), safety and environmental protection, economy, and wide application range, becoming the focus of current research and development. Commonly used lightweight heat-insulating materials mainly include expanded perlite, ceramic fiber, aerogel, rock wool, mineral wool, glass wool, calcium silicate, foam or aerated concrete, and aluminosilicate lightweight refractory heat-insulating materials, etc.

[0005] In recent years, much research work has been carried out at home and abroad on the resource utilization of refractory waste and fly ash solid waste. Among them, refractory waste is mainly recycled for the preparation of refractory materials or castables after being crushed, sorted, and purified, while fly ash is mainly used for the preparation of concrete and cement admixtures. However, limited by the production process and product performance of solid waste recycled products, there are generally bottleneck problems such as low effective utilization rate of solid waste, low utilization added value, high cost, and narrow application fields of products. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a novel lightweight heat-insulating powder material and a preparation process thereof. This novel lightweight heat-insulating powder material has comprehensive properties such as high temperature resistance, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance, and has a relatively high utilization rate of refractory waste.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A novel lightweight heat-insulating powder material, the composition of the heat-insulating powder includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 120 - 150 parts of refractory waste, 10 - 20 parts of active functional additives, 10 - 20 parts of pore-forming agents, 5 - 15 parts of mineralizing agents, and 10 - 20 parts of sintering fluxes.

[0009] Preferably, the composition of the heat-insulating powder further includes the following raw materials in parts by weight: 10 - 20 parts of sodium fluoride.

[0010] Preferably, the composition of the heat-insulating powder includes raw materials in the following parts by weight: the refractory waste includes fly ash waste and high-aluminum refractory waste, the high-aluminum refractory waste is corundum-mullite or chrome corundum brick, and the fly ash waste and the high-aluminum refractory waste form the refractory waste according to a mass ratio of 1:1.5.

[0011] Preferably, the active functional additive is one or more of spodumene, bentonite, high-active aluminum source, high-active silicon source or high-active magnesium source.

[0012] Preferably, the pore-forming agent is one or more of polystyrene microspheres, wood chips, anthracite coal ash, starch, urea, silicon carbide or carbonate.

[0013] Preferably, the mineralizer is one or more of fluorite, gypsum, sodium fluorosilicate, barite, industrial waste residues, wherein the industrial waste residues are copper slag, titanium slag, phosphogypsum or fluorogypsum.

[0014] Preferably, the sintering flux is one or more of cobalt monoxide, manganese dioxide or feldspar.

[0015] A preparation process of a novel lightweight heat-insulating powder material includes the following steps:

[0016] S1. Weigh the fly ash waste in proportion, carry out pressure leaching and desilication with an alkali solution, separate the silicon slag and the filtrate, wash the silicon slag with hot water, then carry out alkali removal washing on the silicon slag with hydrochloric acid, and finally wash with clear water, dry and set aside;

[0017] S2. Take the high-aluminum refractory waste, crush it and then carry out classification screening, remove iron and calcium impurities in the crushed waste materials, and set aside;

[0018] S3. Weigh the remaining materials in proportion, fully mix them with the materials obtained in steps S1 and S2, dry them, then put them into an electric furnace, raise the temperature to 1500 - 1600 °C, keep the temperature for 2.5 - 3 h, then lower the temperature to 1300 °C at a rate of 1.5 - 2 °C / min, and then naturally cool with the furnace body, carry out crushing and classification treatment, and after passing the performance test, store the product in the warehouse to obtain the novel lightweight heat-insulating powder material.

[0019] Preferably, in step S3, the heating rate of the electric furnace is 6 °C / min.

[0020] Preferably, in step S1, the alkali solution is sodium hydroxide solution.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] Utilize fly ash solid waste and high-aluminum refractory solid waste (corundum-mullite or chrome corundum bricks) comprehensively to prepare mullite lightweight thermal insulation powder materials, which improves the resource utilization rate of fly ash solid waste and high-aluminum refractory solid waste. Alkaline treatment is carried out on fly ash solid waste. Impurities such as glass phase in fly ash react with the alkaline solution, removing a part of silicon oxide. Since the specific surface area determines the reaction rate between solid phases, the fly ash after alkaline treatment makes the particle surface more porous and the pores more dense, increasing the particle surface area and improving the reaction activity of fly ash. The fly ash after alkaline treatment is pickled with excessive acid to remove most of the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal oxides and aluminum-silicon complexes, etc. Acid-base treatment of fly ash not only greatly reduces the mass fraction of alkali metal oxides in fly ash, improves the refractory temperature of corundum mullite, but also improves the original activity of fly ash, enabling the filler to fully enter the pores of fly ash particles or wrap around the fly ash particles, increasing the density of the lightweight thermal insulation powder materials.

[0023] During the sintering process, sodium fluoride melts at a lower temperature, generating a large amount of liquid phase in the system, providing a liquid phase medium condition for solid-phase materials, which is beneficial to filling the pores in the sample and improving the density. Fluoride ions enter the glass network structure, reducing the glass viscosity, increasing the crystal nucleation rate, and promoting the sintering of the sample at low temperature. Adding a mineralizer speeds up the decomposition rate of calcium carbonate in the system, increases the solid-phase reaction rate, reduces the liquid-phase appearance temperature and firing temperature, and speeds up the generation rate of mullite lightweight thermal insulation powder materials.

[0024] Sintering fluxes can reduce the mullitization temperature and promote the anisotropic growth of mullite grains at the same time to toughen porous mullite lightweight thermal insulation powder materials. Description of the Drawings
