Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of daily-use ceramics, and particularly relates to a daily-use ceramic with antibacterial functionality and its manufacturing process. Background Art

[0002] Ceramic products are common daily necessities in people's daily lives. Traditional ceramic products are silicate products made from natural materials such as clay, quartz, and feldspar. They have the advantages of being non-toxic, harmless, safe, high-temperature resistant, good in acid and alkali resistance, insulating, environmentally friendly, and easy to clean, and have always been deeply loved by people. Daily-use ceramics are produced according to people's daily life needs. Common daily-use ceramics include tableware, tea sets, wine sets, ceramic washbasins, ceramic toilets, etc. With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards and self-health awareness, today's daily-use ceramics are no longer limited to practicality and aesthetics. Daily-use ceramics in public kitchens, washrooms, bathrooms and other places, due to the humid environment, provide favorable conditions for bacteria to breed and grow, and due to the large flow of people and poor air circulation, bacteria spread everywhere, affecting people's physical health. Moreover, daily-use ceramics are prone to being knocked and damaged during the washing process. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the strength and antibacterial properties of daily-use ceramics so that they have high strength and excellent antibacterial properties.

[0003] The patent with the publication number CN115677365B discloses a high-strength daily-use ceramic and its preparation method. This high-strength daily-use ceramic mainly includes zircon sand, baddeleyite, quartz, potassium feldspar, diopside, aluminum borate nanofibers, zirconium carbide fibers, lanthanum oxide fibers, alumina fibers, carboxymethyl cellulose, lignosulfonate, and water. The prepared daily-use ceramic has excellent strength and mechanical properties, mainly composed of quartz, potassium feldspar, diopside, fibers, carboxymethyl cellulose, and lignosulfonate. The mutual cooperation of each component improves the mechanical properties of the daily-use ceramic. However, in daily life, this high-strength daily-use ceramic still has defects and does not have antibacterial properties, which easily leads to the breeding and spread of bacteria and is not conducive to people's physical health. Therefore, the present invention provides a daily-use ceramic with antibacterial functionality to meet people's needs for the health of daily-use ceramics. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a daily-use ceramic with antibacterial functionality and its manufacturing process, and solve the following technical problems:

[0005] (1) Solve the problem of poor antibacterial performance of daily-use ceramics;

[0006] (2) Solve the problem of poor strength of daily-use ceramics.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0008] A daily-use ceramic with antibacterial functionality, comprising a ceramic body and a glaze layer; the glaze layer is a glaze layer formed by applying a functional glaze to the surface of the ceramic body, and the functional glaze comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 2.5-4.5 parts of a functional component, 20-40 parts of zirconia, 10-20 parts of wollastonite, 10-15 parts of high-aluminum bauxite, 10-15 parts of quartz powder, 10-15 parts of albite, 3-7 parts of nano boron carbide, 3-5 parts of borax, 3-5 parts of titanium dioxide, 3-5 parts of nano lanthanum oxide, 3-5 parts of zirconium silicate, and 5-10 parts of an improver.

[0009] Furthermore, the preparation method of the functional component comprises the following steps:

[0010] Step A: Grind muscovite and pass it through a 200-300 mesh standard sieve, place it in hydrogen peroxide, disperse it evenly, then heat it up to 75-85°C, keep it warm for 55-65 minutes, filter, wash, and dry it to obtain expanded muscovite;

[0011] Step B: Add the expanded muscovite to a copper nitrate solution, disperse it evenly, then heat it up to 50-60°C, adjust the pH to 6-8, stir for 3-5 hours, centrifuge, wash, and dry it to obtain copper-loaded expanded muscovite;

[0012] Step C: Add the copper-loaded expanded muscovite to a glucose solution, ultrasonically disperse it for 20-30 minutes, add a glutaraldehyde crosslinking agent, heat it up to 80-90°C, keep it warm and stir for 3-5 hours, centrifuge, wash, and dry it to obtain the functional component.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the muscovite is expanded by hydrogen peroxide, the interlayer spacing of the muscovite flakes increases, the surface area increases, providing more adsorption sites. At the same time, the ion exchange capacity of the muscovite flakes increases, making it easier for copper ions to enter between the muscovite flakes and be adsorbed and fixed. Under the action of the glutaraldehyde crosslinking agent, glucose can crosslink with the muscovite to form a coating structure, thus obtaining the functional component.

[0014] Furthermore, in step A, the mass fraction of the hydrogen peroxide is 25-35%.

[0015] Furthermore, in step C, the concentration of the glucose solution is 0.4 mol / L - 0.6 mol / L.

[0016] Furthermore, the manufacturing process of the functional glaze comprises the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: Weigh zirconolite, wollastonite, bauxite, quartz powder, albite, nano boron carbide, borax, titanium dioxide, nano lanthanum oxide, and zirconium silicate by weight parts, crush them and pass through a 15-30 standard sieve, add them into an atmosphere furnace with the volume of oxygen gas accounting for 30-35%, heat up to 1100-1200 °C, sinter for 2-4 h, then discharge and cool for extraction to obtain a mixed material;

[0018] Step 2: According to the mass ratio of the mixed material, balls, and water being 1:2.1-2.4:0.52-0.56, wet ball mill the mixed material for 8-10 h, and add water to adjust the specific gravity to 1.6-1.8 g / cm 3 to obtain a base glaze;

[0019] Step 3: Mix the base glaze and the functional components evenly at a ratio of 1:0.16-0.18, place them in a grinder for grinding until the residue on a ten-thousand-hole sieve is not higher than 0.06% to obtain a mixed glaze;

[0020] Step 4: Add an improver to the mixed glaze, mix evenly, then heat up to 30-40 °C, keep warm and age for 15-20 days, and adjust the specific gravity to 1.4-1.5 g / cm 3 for vacuum defoaming treatment to obtain a functional glaze.

[0021] Furthermore, in Step 4, the improver is one or more of sodium humate, sodium lignosulfonate, polyvinyl alcohol, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

[0022] Furthermore, the manufacturing process of the ceramic blank is as follows:

[0023] Mix 40-60 parts of clay, 10-15 parts of albite, 10-15 parts of albite, 10-15 parts of diaspore, 10-15 parts of quartz sand, 5-8 parts of calcite, 5-8 parts of sodium silicate, and 4-8 parts of sintering aid evenly, then add them into a ball mill for grinding, pass through a 200-250 mesh standard sieve, use the dry pressing forming method to make a blank, the dry pressing forming pressure is 25-35 MPa, then hot press sinter the blank and quickly anneal and cool naturally to room temperature to obtain a ceramic blank.

[0024] Furthermore, the sintering aid is carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium stearate; the hot press sintering conditions are in an inert atmosphere, the heating rate is 2-5 °C / min, heat up to 700-900 °C, keep warm for 1-3 h, then the heating rate is 10-12 °C / min, heat up to 1400-1500 °C for sintering, the sintering pressure is 15-25 MPa, and sinter for 1-2 h.

[0025] A manufacturing process of a daily-use ceramic with antibacterial functionality includes the following steps:

[0026] (1) Uniformly apply a functional glaze on the surface of a ceramic blank to form a glaze layer. After air-drying, a glazed daily-use ceramic blank is obtained.

[0027] (2) Bake the glazed daily-use ceramic blank in a nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature set to 1250 - 1300 °C for 4 - 6 h to obtain an antibacterial functional daily-use ceramic.

[0028] Further, in (1), the thickness of the glaze layer is 0.4 - 0.6 mm.

[0029] Advantages of the present invention:

[0030] In the present invention, the copper ions are adsorbed and fixed in the interlayer structure of expanded muscovite. Under the action of glutaraldehyde cross-linking agent, glucose cross-links with muscovite to form a structure of glucose-coated muscovite, preparing a functional component, avoiding the problem of copper ion loss caused by the destruction of the interlayer structure of expanded muscovite during the grinding process. At the same time, the interlayer structure of muscovite can protect the copper ions from precipitating from the glaze layer at high temperature, resulting in the loss of copper ion flow rate and the reduction of antibacterial performance. During the baking process, the glucose coated on the surface of muscovite will be carbonized, becoming a carbon source to react with zirconia, nano boron carbide, and quartz powder in the glaze layer to generate a dense silicon carbide-zirconium boride composite material, greatly improving the fracture toughness. Zirconium boride with high strength and hardness has a two-dimensional network structure, enhancing the hardness and high flexural strength of the glaze layer, so that the hardness, flexural strength, and fracture toughness of the prepared glaze layer are improved. After the glucose is carbonized, the interlayer structure of muscovite is exposed, allowing the antibacterial copper ions adsorbed and fixed therein to be slowly released, making the prepared glaze layer have high strength and excellent antibacterial properties, thereby improving the strength and antibacterial performance of daily-use ceramics.

[0031] Of course, it is not necessary for any product implementing the present invention to achieve all the above advantages simultaneously. Description of the Drawings

[0096] Performance testing

[0097] Performance testing of the antibacterial functional daily-use ceramics prepared in Examples 1 - 3 and Comparative Examples 1 - 2 of the present invention:

[0098] According to the method of JC / T 897-2014, test the antibacterial performance of the antibacterial functional daily-use ceramics; use a micro-Vickers hardness tester to measure the Vickers hardness of the antibacterial functional daily-use ceramics prepared in the examples and comparative examples, with a load of 10 N and a loading time of 5 s, measure 5 times, and take the average value of the 5 hardness values; use a PT-1036PC type universal material testing machine to test the flexural strength of the antibacterial functional daily-use ceramics prepared in the examples and comparative examples, with the test specimen size of 4 mm×3 mm×20 mm, a span of 16 mm, and a indenter loading speed of 0.5 mm / min, measure 5 times, and take the average value of the 5 flexural strengths; make the fracture toughness specimen size as 4 mm×6 mm×30 mm, a span of 24 mm, and a notch height of 2.5 mm, and conduct the test on a displacement-controlled rate pressure tester to test its fracture toughness. The test results are shown in the following table:

[0099]

[0100] As can be seen from the above table, the antibacterial functional household ceramics produced in Examples 1-3 exhibit high hardness, high flexural strength, high fracture toughness and excellent antibacterial properties. In Comparative Example 1, directly added nano-copper was used as the antibacterial agent, which precipitated from the glaze layer during the roasting process due to high temperature, resulting in a significant decrease in antibacterial properties. Moreover, glucose could not be used as a carbon source to generate a dense silicon carbide-zirconium boride composite material to improve the hardness, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the antibacterial functional household ceramics. In Comparative Example 2, copper-loaded expanded muscovite was added. During the grinding process, the lamellar structure of a part of muscovite was damaged, resulting in the loss of copper ions and a decrease in antibacterial properties. However, the muscovite lamella protected the copper ions from precipitating at high temperature and retained a certain antibacterial property. At the same time, muscovite could also enhance the mechanical properties of the glaze layer to a certain extent.

Those skilled in the art of the present technology can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods for substitution, as long as they do not deviate from the concept of the invention or exceed the scope defined by this claim book, they should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
