Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass bottle production, and in particular to an energy-saving lightweight glass bottle and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the global packaging industry shifts toward greener, lower-carbon manufacturing, glass bottles, owing to their environmentally friendly, recyclable, and chemically stable properties, are widely used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors. However, traditional glass bottles have inherent drawbacks such as heavy weight and high raw material consumption, which not only increase transportation costs and energy consumption but also create inconvenience for consumers.

[0003] Current glass bottle lightweighting technology has some limitations. For example, simply thinning the bottle wall will reduce the structural strength and increase the transportation breakage rate. In the existing technology, some technologies improve the strength of the bottle body by adding high-strength additives, but the introduction of additives not only increases the cost of raw materials, but may also affect the chemical stability of the glass. When containing acidic or alkaline liquids, there is a risk of dissolution, which in turn affects the quality of the contents. There are also technologies that improve the strength by optimizing the bottle body structure (such as adding reinforcing ribs), but the structure is complicated, which not only reduces production efficiency, but may also lead to increased mold loss and increase production costs, thereby reducing the economy and market feasibility of lightweight technology in actual production.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need for an energy-saving lightweight glass bottle and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an energy-saving lightweight glass bottle and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, firstly, the present invention provides an energy-saving lightweight glass bottle, comprising the following raw materials:

[0007] 60-70 parts of cullet, 5-8 parts of nano-scale composite powder, 10-15 parts of lithium oxide (Li2O)-zinc oxide (ZnO) composite oxide, 20-25 parts of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and 3-5 parts of boron oxide (B2O3), wherein the nano-scale composite powder comprises 2-3 parts of nano-scale titanium dioxide (TiO2) powder and 3-5 parts of nano-scale aluminum oxide (Al2O3) powder, and the lithium oxide (Li2O)-zinc oxide (ZnO) composite oxide comprises 3-5 parts of lithium oxide (Li2O) and 7-10 parts of zinc oxide (ZnO); wherein:

[0008] The lithium oxide (Li2O)-zinc oxide (ZnO) composite oxide is converted into a + ) reduces the viscosity of the glass melt to achieve lightweight molding, zinc ions (Zn2+ ) fills the network gap and strengthens the structure, which works together to reduce the weight of the bottle and maintain its strength; the nano-scale composite powder forms a lithium aluminum zincate transition layer with the lithium (Li)-oxygen (O)-zinc (Zn) bond on the glass surface through high-temperature sintering, which is used to improve the corrosion resistance and functionality of the bottle surface; the silicon dioxide (SiO2) is the main body of the glass network skeleton, which can cooperate with boron oxide (B2O3) to regulate the glass melting temperature and chemical stability, thereby increasing the safety of use.

[0009] Second, according to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing an energy-saving lightweight glass bottle, comprising the following steps:

[0010] S1. Raw material dispersion: crush the cullet to a particle size of ≤1.5 mm, add it into a high-speed blender with lithium oxide-zinc oxide composite oxide, silicon dioxide and boron oxide, and stir at a speed of 1000-1500 r / min for 20-30 minutes to evenly disperse the various raw materials to form a uniform raw material mixture;

[0011] S2. Melting: The raw material mixture is placed in a high-temperature furnace and melted at a temperature of 1250-1300℃ for 2.5-3 hours. At the same time, bubbles are blown into the glass liquid through the bubbling device in the furnace. The bubbles are discharged by the property of lithium oxide to make the glass liquid thinner, making the glass liquid clear. The zinc ions will combine with the silicon-oxygen structure in the glass to form [ZnO4] tetrahedrons, strengthening the glass structure skeleton, and finally obtaining a uniform, clear and structurally stable molten glass liquid;

[0012] S3. Molding: Using a high-precision metal mold with a tolerance of ≤0.05mm, the molten glass is injected into the mold. The air pressure is controlled at 0.8-1.2MPa to ensure that the wall thickness of the bottle is uniform and maintained at ±0.1mm. At the same time, the bottle structure is formed. The temperature of the glass liquid during molding is 1100-1150℃. The thermal stability of zinc oxide is utilized to prevent cracks in the lightweight bottle due to rapid cooling, forming a lightweight bottle prototype with uniform wall thickness, strengthened structure and no stress cracks.

[0013] S4, Annealing: Place the lightweight bottle prototype in an annealing furnace, heat it to 580-620℃ at a rate of 15-20℃ / min, and keep it at that temperature for 1.5-2 hours to eliminate internal stress; then cool it to 300℃ at a rate of 8-10℃ / min, and then cool it naturally to room temperature. The thermal stability of zinc oxide is further utilized to adjust the internal structure of the glass, so that the compressive stress of the bottle is evenly distributed, the impact resistance is enhanced, cracks caused by rapid cooling are avoided, and the stability of the bottle structure is ensured;

[0014] S5. Surface treatment: Nano-scale composite powders are evenly sprayed onto the surface of the bottle using a magnetron sputtering device to form a 20-30 nm thick composite film layer, which is then annealed in a muffle furnace at 550-600°C for 1-1.5 hours to allow the nano-powders to react with the lithium (Li)-oxygen (O)-zinc (Zn) bonds on the glass surface to form a 100-150 nm thick lithium aluminum zincate transition layer, which can improve the corrosion resistance and functionality of the bottle surface (such as the photocatalytic self-cleaning effect of nano-scale titanium dioxide);

[0015] S6. Flame strengthening: Use hydrogen-oxygen flame to perform secondary strengthening on the bottle surface. At a flame temperature of 800-900℃, the flame is evenly swept across the bottle surface at a speed of 10-15cm / s, causing the surface glass to melt slightly and promoting the migration of zinc ions to the surface, forming a 20-30μm thick compressive stress strengthening layer, thereby improving the surface hardness and wear resistance of the bottle and enhancing its impact resistance.

[0016] The invention first uses lithium oxide to reduce the viscosity of the glass melt, achieving lightweight molding. This not only allows the glass to flow evenly at lower temperatures, facilitating the formation of thin-walled bottles, but also zinc oxide fills the network gaps to form ZnO4 tetrahedrons, strengthening the glass structure. During the melting process, zinc ions bond with the silicon-oxygen network, effectively improving the bottle's compressive strength and impact resistance.

[0017] In addition, through the synergy of lithium oxide-zinc oxide composite oxide and nano-scale composite powder, not only lithium ions are used to reduce density to achieve weight reduction, but zinc ions are also used to strengthen the structure to maintain strength. At the same time, nano-scale titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide powders are bonded to the glass surface through high-temperature sintering to form a lithium aluminum zincate transition layer, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and functionality of the bottle surface; it is mainly because nano-scale titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide and the lithium-oxygen-zinc bonds on the glass surface react to form lithium aluminum zincate, which enhances the stability of the surface structure. The reaction formula is: Li2O·ZnO·SiO2+TiO2+Al2O3→LiAlZnO4·TiO2·SiO2.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In this energy-saving lightweight glass bottle and its preparation method, by using cullet as one of the main raw materials, not only waste glass resources are effectively utilized and raw material costs are reduced, but also the amount of ore mining in the glass production process is reduced. At the same time, the addition of lithium oxide-zinc oxide composite oxide utilizes lithium ions to reduce the viscosity of the glass melt, so that the glass liquid can flow evenly at a lower temperature, which is convenient for the formation of thin-walled bottles, realizes the lightweighting of the glass bottle, and effectively reduces transportation costs and energy consumption; and zinc ions fill the network gaps to form a stable tetrahedral structure, strengthening the glass structural skeleton, while lightweighting the bottle body. Improved compressive strength and impact resistance, it solves the problems of traditional glass bottles being heavy, high transportation costs, and inconvenient to handle, as well as the problems of simply thinning the bottle wall leading to decreased structural strength and increased breakage rate, thereby improving the comprehensive performance and market application value of the glass bottle.

[0020] 2. In this energy-saving lightweight glass bottle and its preparation method, lithium oxide-zinc oxide composite oxide and nano-scale composite powder work synergistically. While achieving the lightweight of the glass bottle, a lithium aluminum zincate transition layer is formed between the nano-scale composite powder and the glass surface, which greatly improves the corrosion resistance of the bottle surface. It can effectively resist the erosion of acidic or alkaline liquids, ensure the quality of the contents, and solve the problem in the existing technology that the introduction of additives affects the chemical stability of the glass and poses a risk of dissolution. At the same time, the photocatalytic properties of nano-scale titanium dioxide can decompose organic pollutants in the bottle, enhance the functionality of the product, and avoid the problems of reduced production efficiency and increased mold loss due to structural complexity, thereby improving the practicality of the lightweight glass bottle.

[0031] Table 1 Amounts of raw materials used in Examples 1-4

[0032]

[0033] In order to verify that the glass bottle prepared in the embodiment of the present invention has good lightweight effect and comprehensive performance, the glass bottle provided in the embodiment of the present invention is described through the following test examples.

[0034] Test example

[0035] The purpose of this test group is to explore the effects of different component ratios on glass bottles and to test the lightweight, compressive strength, impact resistance and surface corrosion resistance of the glass bottles of the present invention.

[0036] Experimental objectives: Experimental groups A, B, C, and D respectively adopt the composition ratios of the energy-saving lightweight glass bottles provided in Examples 1-4; the control examples adopt control groups A, B, C, D, E, and F, wherein:

[0037] Control group A

[0038] Mix 75 parts of quartz sand, 15 parts of sodium carbonate, 8 parts of calcium carbonate, and 2 parts of magnesium oxide, put them into a high-temperature furnace at 1500℃ and melt them for 4 hours. After clarification, they are injected into an ordinary metal mold and formed into a bottle body at 1000℃. After natural cooling, no surface treatment is performed.

[0039] Control group B

[0040] The soda-lime glass formula (70 parts of quartz sand, 18 parts of sodium carbonate, 10 parts of calcium carbonate, and 2 parts of magnesium oxide) is used. After melting at 1500°C, the bottle wall thickness is reduced to 1.6mm (traditional 2.0mm) through a mold without adding any strengthening ingredients.

[0041] Control group C

[0042] The raw material composition is 65 parts of cullet, 20 parts of quartz sand, 10 parts of sodium carbonate, 5 parts of boric acid, and 3 parts of zirconium oxide (a high-strength additive); it is melted at 1450°C for 3 hours, and the bottle wall thickness during molding is 1.6 mm. The surface is untreated after annealing.

[0043] Control group D

[0044] The raw materials are 65 parts of cullet, 5 parts of lithium oxide, 23 parts of silicon dioxide, and 4 parts of boron oxide. No zinc oxide or nano-composite powder is added. After melting at 1280°C for 2.5 hours, the bottle is formed into a bottle with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm and only flame strengthening treatment is performed.

[0045] Control group E

[0046] The same raw material formula as in Example 2 (65 parts of cullet, 4 parts of lithium oxide, 8 parts of zinc oxide, and 6 parts of nanocomposite powder) was used, but the S5 surface treatment step was omitted, and only flame strengthening was performed.

[0047] Control group F

[0048] The same raw materials as in Example 3 were used. After melt molding, the temperature was directly raised to 600°C at a rate of 30°C / min, kept at that temperature for 1 hour, and then rapidly cooled to room temperature. The heating and cooling rates were not controlled.

[0049] Test method: According to the lightweight degree, compressive strength, impact resistance and surface corrosion resistance of the present invention, tests are carried out respectively. The specific test methods are as follows:

[0050] Lightweight degree: The density of the glass bottle was determined by the water displacement method and the weight loss rate was calculated. Specifically, the glass bottle was dried at 105°C for 2 hours to constant weight, and then the mass (m) was weighed with an electronic balance with an accuracy of 0.01g. The volume (V) was measured by the water displacement method with a graduated cylinder. The density was calculated according to density (ρ) = m / V. The density of traditional soda-lime glass was 2.5g / cm 3 For reference, the weight reduction rate was calculated as follows: weight reduction rate (%) = [(conventional glass density - test glass density) / conventional glass density] × 100%;

[0051] Compressive strength: Axial compression test was conducted using a universal material testing machine. The glass bottle was placed vertically between the upper and lower pressure plates. Axial pressure was applied uniformly at a rate of 5 mm / min. The maximum load (F) when the bottle broke was recorded. The formula σ = F / S (where S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom of the bottle, in mm) was used to determine the compressive strength. 2 ) Calculate the compressive strength in MPa;

[0052] Impact resistance: The free fall impact test is used to measure the performance. During the test, a glass bottle is filled with 20℃ water to full capacity and is dropped from a height of 1.2m to a cement floor with a roughness of Ra=6.3μm. This is repeated 10 times and the number of fractures is recorded. The impact strength (J / m) is used as the evaluation index and the calculation formula is mass (kg) × acceleration due to gravity (9.8m / s 2 ) × drop height (m) divided by the number of ruptures, and the number of ruptures ≤ 3 times is considered qualified;

[0053] Surface corrosion resistance: The surface corrosion rate was determined by the acid-base immersion method. The test conditions were as follows: the glass bottles were placed in 5% citric acid solution (pH = 2.5) and 5% sodium carbonate solution (pH = 11.5), respectively, and immersed at 60°C for 24 hours. The bottles were rinsed with deionized water and dried before and after immersion. The surface roughness (Ra) was measured with the help of a surface profilometer with an accuracy of 0.1 μm. The corrosion rate was calculated using the formula: corrosion rate (μm / h) = |Ra2-Ra1| / immersion time (h), where Ra1 is the surface roughness before immersion and Ra2 is the surface roughness after immersion.

[0054] Specific detection indicators are shown in Table 2.

[0055] Table 2 Test indicators of each sample

[0056]

[0057] According to Table 2, the comparison data are summarized as follows:

[0058] The lightweight effect is significantly improved: the density of AD in the test group is between 2.12-2.18g / cm 3The weight reduction rate was between 12.8% and 15.2%, which was better than 0% for control group A (traditional glass) and 0.8% for control group B (simple thinning of the bottle wall). This shows that lithium oxide-zinc oxide composite oxide achieved lightweighting by reducing the density of glass, while control group D (no zinc oxide added) achieved a 10% weight reduction, but its density was still higher than that of the experimental group, indicating that the synergistic effect of zinc oxide is more important for the weight reduction effect.

[0059] The compressive and impact resistance properties are comprehensively enhanced: the compressive strength of the test group reached 82.5-92.1MPa, and the impact strength was 32.6-36.5J / m, both better than the control group A (65.2MPa, 25.4J / m) and the control group B (58.6MPa, 22.3J / m); among them, the compressive strength of the test group C (with the best ratio of lithium oxide to zinc oxide) was increased by 41.2% compared with the control group A, and the impact strength was increased by 43.7%, and it did not break after 10 drop tests, verifying that the tetrahedral structure formed by zinc oxide filling the network gap can effectively strengthen the bottle skeleton, solving the problem of strength loss caused by simple thinning.

[0060] A breakthrough was achieved in surface corrosion resistance: the corrosion rate of the test group in 5% citric acid and sodium carbonate solution was only 0.08-0.18μm / h, which was more than 50% lower than that of the control group A (0.35-0.42μm / h); although the corrosion resistance of the control group E (nanopowder surface treatment omitted) was better than that of traditional glass, the corrosion rate was still 30% higher than that of the test group B, indicating that the lithium aluminum zincate transition layer formed by the nano-scale composite powder and the glass surface can resist acid and alkali corrosion, solving the dissolution risk problem introduced by the additives in the existing technology.

[0061] Process synergy improves overall performance: The experimental group used high-precision molds to control wall thickness uniformity (±0.1mm) and combined it with an annealing process to optimize compressive stress distribution. Its impact resistance was improved by 28%-29% compared to the control group F (which did not control the heating and cooling rates). The flame strengthening step formed a compressive stress layer on the surface of the experimental group, and the compressive strength increased by 10.5%-22.1% compared to the control group D that did not undergo this treatment, proving that the synergistic effect of each process step is indispensable for enhancing bottle performance.

[0062] In summary, the present invention uses the synergistic effect of lithium oxide-zinc oxide composite oxide and nano-scale composite powder, combined with high-precision molding and surface strengthening technology, to prepare energy-saving and lightweight glass bottles with a density as low as 2.12-2.18g / cm 3 The weight reduction rate reaches 12.8%-15.2%, the compressive strength is increased to 82.5-92.1MPa, and the impact strength reaches 32.6-36.5J / m. It can be seen that it not only improves the lightweight degree and structural strength of the glass bottle, but also improves the surface corrosion resistance and functionality, thereby effectively solving the problems of traditional glass bottles with heavy weight, low strength and poor corrosion resistance.
