Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic pigments, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a cuprous oxide red pigment with a core-shell structure. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the main red pigments used in plastics, coatings, inks, and paper products are molybdenum chromate red, cadmium selenide red, and cadmium mercury red. Their use is subject to increasingly stringent controls due to the presence of toxic heavy metals such as lead, chromium, cadmium, and mercury, which pose health risks and environmental risks. While γ-Ce2S3 red pigments are free of toxic heavy metals, they exhibit poor heat resistance and oxidize at temperatures above 350°C, losing their red color. While their oxidation resistance can be increased through silica coating, the acid-washing step in the preparation process produces toxic H2S gas, which reacts with the acid, resulting in significant environmental pollution. Cuprous oxide (CuO), with its vibrant red color and safe, non-toxic properties, is a promising alternative to toxic red pigments and has become a research hotspot.

[0003] Cuprous oxide (CPO) is a p-type semiconductor material that exhibits unique optical and electrical properties due to quantum size effects. When exposed to visible light, CPO can generate electron-hole pairs. This material exhibits a large surface area, good adsorption capacity, and the ability to suppress the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. It is used in catalysts, marine antifouling coatings, solar cells, and other fields. Furthermore, CPO exhibits a vibrant red color at room temperature and possesses strong tinting power. However, CPO is highly unstable, easily oxidized, and exhibits poor acid and alkali resistance. In air, CPO oxidizes upon heating to 200°C, resulting in its limited application in inorganic pigments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem of cuprous oxide being easily oxidized at high temperatures and prevent red cuprous oxide from being oxidized to black cupric oxide, the present invention provides a method for preparing a core-shell structured cuprous oxide red pigment. The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a method for preparing a core-shell structured cuprous oxide red pigment, characterized by comprising the following steps: Step 1: Dispersing Cu2O powder and a modifying agent in a solvent to obtain a suspension A, and subjecting the suspension A to ultrasonic treatment to obtain a surface-modified Cu2O powder; The modification reagent is at least one of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), DTAB (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide), PEG (polyethylene glycol), and SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfonate); Step 2: Dispersing the surface-modified Cu2O powder, organosiloxane, and a pH adjuster in a polar organic solvent to obtain a suspension B, stirring the suspension B for reaction, and adding water dropwise during the reaction to obtain a pigment precursor; the pH adjuster comprises at least one of aqueous ammonia, sodium hydroxide solution, and potassium hydroxide solution; Step 3: calcining the pigment precursor to obtain a cuprous oxide red pigment with a core-shell structure.

[0005] The present invention first modifies the surface of cuprous oxide, then forms a silica coating on the surface of the cuprous oxide, and finally calcines the cuprous oxide under the protection of a hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere to increase the density of the silica coating, thereby improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the cuprous oxide. The advantage of silica as a shell material is that it is highly stable in aqueous solution, and the silica surface is easy to modify to prepare a nano-aqueous solution colloid. The silica shell is used to control the particle spacing and improve the dispersibility of the colorant. The present invention uses a coating modification technology to coat the surface of the cuprous oxide colorant with one or more layers of a transparent, high-temperature stable substance to improve the colorant's high-temperature stability and acid corrosion resistance. The present invention uses silica to coat cuprous oxide, and through the modification treatment, improves the high-temperature oxidation resistance, stability, and high-temperature resistance of the cuprous oxide, thereby expanding the application of its related products in the fields of plastics, rubber, high-temperature coatings, etc.

[0006] Optionally, the solvent in step 1 is a mixture of a polar organic solvent and water; the ratio of the polar organic solvent to deionized water is 1-4:1.

[0007] Optionally, the solvent of the suspension A and the polar organic solvent in the suspension B are independently at least one of ethanol, propanol and butanol.

[0008] Optionally, the weight ratio of Cu2O powder to modifying agent in step 1 is 1:0.05~0.2.

[0009] Optionally, the water dropping rate in step 2 is controlled at 0.3-0.5 mL / min; Preferably, the dripping rate of water in step 2 is controlled at 0.3 mL / min.

[0010] Preferably, the volume ratio of the amount of water added in step 2 to the suspension B is 1-2:1.

[0011] Optionally, the temperature of the stirring reaction in step 2 should be controlled at 40-60° C., and the stirring time should be 1-2 h; Optionally, in step 1, the frequency of ultrasonic treatment is 10-30 kHz, the power is 1000-1800 W, and the duration is 10-30 min.

[0012] Optionally, OH in suspension B- The content is 0.54~1.32mol / L.

[0013] At low pH concentrations, the hydrolysis and condensation rates of TEOS are very slow, resulting in insufficient hydrolysis of silica oligomers to form SiO2 nuclei. However, at higher pH values, TEOS hydrolysis and condensation rates increase dramatically, leading to higher supersaturation and a faster nucleation rate, resulting in a rapid deposition process. Only when the pH adjuster is adequate can both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation occur simultaneously, resulting in a colloidal mixture.

[0014] Preferably, the pH regulator is ammonia water, and the mass fraction of ammonia water in the organic solvent is 0.97% to 3.76%; Preferably, the mass fraction of aqueous ammonia in the alkaline polar organic solvent is 1.92%.

[0015] Optionally, the organosiloxane includes at least one of ethyl orthosilicate, methyl orthosilicate, propyl orthosilicate, and butyl orthosilicate; The content of organosiloxane in suspension B is 1.52~4.46 mol / L.

[0016] Optionally, the calcination process in step 3 includes calcining the pigment precursor in a hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere, first raising the temperature to 500°C at 0.5-1°C / min, then raising the temperature to 700°C at 1.5-3°C / min, and then raising the temperature to 800-1000°C at 4-5°C / min, with a holding time of 1-2.5 hours. During this process, the flow rate of the hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere is maintained at 100-300 mL / min. By using a step-by-step heating method, it is possible to ensure that the silica shell is not easily broken during the heat treatment process, thereby improving the density of the silica shell.

[0017] Optionally, the volume fraction of hydrogen in the hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere is 0.1% to 0.5%; Preferably, the volume fraction of hydrogen in the hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere is 0.2%. Densification of the silicon dioxide coating is performed in a hydrogen-argon mixed atmosphere. Since cuprous oxide is easily oxidized at high temperatures, introducing an appropriate amount of hydrogen into the argon gas can consume the small amount of oxygen remaining in the furnace, preventing oxidation of cuprous oxide at high temperatures. This not only improves coating quality, but also reduces process control difficulty and increases production efficiency.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a method for preparing a core-shell structured, silica-coated cuprous oxide red colorant. The method utilizes silica to coat cuprous oxide. Through modification, the resulting silica coating is uniform and dense, effectively addressing the issue of cuprous oxide's susceptibility to oxidation. The resulting cuprous oxide red colorant exhibits significantly improved stability and high-temperature resistance, broadening the application of related products in fields such as plastics, rubber, and high-temperature coatings. By controlling the amount of organosiloxane added, the silica coating thickness can be controlled, providing a method for the precise control and preparation of core-shell structures. The method is simple to operate, requires no complex synthetic steps, uses a limited number of reagents, is pollution-free, and offers excellent product stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
