Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ceramics, and in particular relates to a non-electric refrigeration ceramic and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Non-electric cooling ceramics are a new type of inorganic material based on the principle of passive radiative cooling. They require no external energy and generally do not significantly increase the surface temperature of the ceramic even under direct sunlight. When used as building materials, such as exterior wall tiles or roofing materials, cooling ceramics can help lower indoor temperatures.

[0003] The performance of cooling ceramic products is related to the blue light whiteness of their surface. Currently, in the ceramic industry, tiles with a blue light whiteness of 45-50 degrees are called white tiles. Ceramic tiles with a blue light whiteness of 65 degrees are rare, and tiles with a blue light whiteness of 80 degrees or above are generally achieved by applying a glaze or coating to the surface. For example, Chinese invention patent publication number CN119822869A discloses a radiant cooling exterior wall tile and its preparation process. By adjusting the composition ratio of the base glaze layer and the protective glaze layer and adding a cooling powder for compounding, the reflectance and emissivity of infrared and visible light are improved. Chinese invention patent publication number CN114672205A discloses a radiant cooling coating and surface coating method, proposing a coating with a porous structure that reflects solar radiation. It can be seen that existing cooling ceramics primarily achieve their cooling function through coating or glazing; the ceramic itself does not truly reflect solar radiation. However, the glaze or coating easily falls off the ceramic surface during long-term use, greatly limiting the use of cooling ceramics. Based on this, the present invention proposes a new type of non-electric cooling ceramic and its preparation method to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

S2. calcining the mixed material to prepare a ceramic sample, wherein the calcination curve is as follows: The mixture was heated from room temperature to 1280°C for 45 min and kept at 1280°C for 60 min.

[0057] The ceramic samples prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were subjected to performance tests using the following methods.

[0058] Whiteness test method: Prepare the sample according to the requirements of Section 7 of GB / T 5950-2008, "Measurement of Whiteness of Building Materials and Non-metallic Mineral Products." Preheat and zero the instrument that meets the requirements. After calibration with a standard white plate, align it with the sample and measure the value.

[0059] Solar reflectance, visible light reflectance, and infrared reflectance test methods: Sample preparation and measurement shall be in accordance with GB / T 2680-1994.

[0060] Water absorption test method: Prepare specimens according to the requirements of Chapter 4 of GB / T 3810.3-2006, "Test methods for ceramic tiles, Part 3: Determination of water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent relative density, and bulk density." Place them in a vacuum container, ensuring that the specimens do not touch each other. Add enough water to cover the specimens by 5 cm. Evacuate to 10 kPa ± 1 kPa and maintain for 30 minutes. Then, discontinue vacuuming and allow the specimens to soak for 15 minutes. Remove the specimens and place them on a suspended stand. Blow 0.8 kg of compressed air continuously for 3 minutes at a distance of 10 cm from the upper surface. Immediately weigh and record the weight. Calculate water absorption according to the method specified in 6.1 of GB / T 3810.3-2006.

[0061] The performance test results are shown in Table 1.

[0062] Table 1 Performance test results of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6

[0063]

[0064] According to the analysis in Table 1, by comparing Examples 1-4 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that reducing the amount of the first kaolin to 20% and increasing the amount of the second kaolin to 50% directly leads to a decrease in the blue light whiteness of the ceramic sample due to the reduction of the high-whiteness first kaolin, which in turn affects the decrease in multiple reflectance data.

[0065] Comparing Examples 1-4 with Comparative Example 2 shows that while the omission of the secondary kaolin resulted in higher ceramic product performance, the slurry exhibited poor suspension properties and tended to sink to the bottom during the preparation process, making it unsuitable for industrial production. Furthermore, the lack of the plasticity provided by the secondary kaolin resulted in cracking during the firing process.

[0066] By comparing Examples 1-4 with Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when the second kaolin is replaced with kaolin having a higher iron content, the coloration of the iron element will reduce the blue light whiteness of the final product, thereby reducing various reflectance data.

[0067] By comparing Examples 1-4 with Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that when the first kaolin is replaced by conventional alumina, due to the different structures of the two, the blue light whiteness of the first kaolin is higher than that of conventional alumina, and the blue light whiteness of the ceramic sample of Comparative Example 4 decreases, which leads to a significant decrease in various reflectance ratios.

[0068] By comparing Examples 1-4 with Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that increasing the amount of the first kaolin causes the firing temperature of the formula to be too high. Therefore, under the same firing curve conditions, the ceramic sample of Comparative Example 5 has a low sintering degree, resulting in low strength and high water absorption. Even though the ceramic sample has a high blue light whiteness and reflectance, it is not suitable for actual production.

[0069] By comparing Examples 1-4 with Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that the feldspar in Comparative Example 6 only uses sodium feldspar, which has too high a sodium content and insufficient potassium content, resulting in a narrow sintering range of the formula, difficulty in controlling the temperature during production, and deformation of the sample.

[0070] 30 kg of the mixture was prepared using the recipe of Example 4 and fired at 1280°C to produce a ceramic sample. The sample exhibited a blue light whiteness of 92.01°C before polishing and 92.57°C after polishing, a water absorption of 0.0928%, and a solar reflectance of 93.65%. When the firing temperature was increased to 1300°C, the sample exhibited a blue light whiteness of 92.23°C before polishing and 93.11°C after polishing, a water absorption of 0.0328%, and a solar reflectance of 93.88%. This demonstrates that the preparation method of the present invention is suitable for industrial production.

[0071] The water absorption rates of the ceramic samples prepared according to Examples 1-4 all meet the water absorption rate requirements. According to the national standard GB / T2680-1994 testing method, according to the radiation performance index of radiation cooling materials for buildings "sunlight reflectance ≥92%", the ceramics prepared in Examples 1-4 of the present invention all meet the requirements.

[0072] The ceramic product prepared in Example 4 and several objects and tile products with different blue light whiteness were taken and dried in the sun. The ambient temperature was measured to be 39° C. The surface temperatures of the samples were compared as shown in Table 2.

[0073] Table 2 Comparison of blue light whiteness and surface temperature of various objects under sunlight

[0074]

[0075] According to the data in Table 2, under the condition of an ambient temperature of 39°C, the object is affected by heat radiation and heat is stored. The surface temperature of the refrigeration ceramic of the present invention is significantly lower than that of other test objects due to its high reflectivity to sunlight.

[0076] The embodiments provided by the present invention are described in detail above. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the core idea of ​​the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present invention, the present invention can also be improved and modified in a number of ways, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
