Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of enamel technology, and particularly relates to a steel plate enamel medium-temperature antimony molybdenum ground glaze without fluorinated salt and nitrate, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a transition layer between the metal substrate and the face glaze, the adhesion and medium-temperature firing performance of the enamel ground glaze directly affect the product quality, and the green environmental protection affects the survival and sustainable development of the industry. Fluorinated salt (such as fluorite, sodium fluorosilicate) (accounting for 1-15%) is usually added in the traditional enamel ground glaze formula as a fluxing agent and adhesion enhancer. The fluorinated salt is not an "optional" additive in the traditional enamel ground glaze, but an "indispensable" skeleton component. It lays the foundation for the firm combination of the glaze and the metal substrate from the physical and chemical dimensions through multiple synergies such as reducing the melting temperature, forming an alloy layer by corroding the interface, creating a mechanical anchoring effect, improving opalescence and wettability. Simply and roughly removing the fluorinated salt is equivalent to removing the load-bearing wall of the building, which does not result in "performance decline", but "collapse" of the entire enamel system. Any attempt to eliminate fluorinated salt must be based on finding or inventing a new substance or new process system that can completely simulate or replace the above multiple functions, and this has so far been a major technical challenge in the enamel process field. Therefore, the importance of fluorinated salt in the traditional process cannot be overemphasized. However, research has shown that:

[0003] 1. Hydrogen fluoride (HF) and silicon tetrafluoride (SiF4) gases released during high-temperature melting process cause harm to health and the environment.

[0004] 2. The European Union REACH regulation lists fluorides as substances of very high concern (SVHC), and fluorinated salt products cannot meet the EU REACH regulation requirements for fluorine, with a fluorine (F) limit of 20 mg / kg.

[0005] 3. End environmental management equipment is blocked by fluorinated salt crystallization, severely restricting normal production of enterprises.

[0006] At the same time, nitrate, as a traditional oxidizing agent and adhesion promoting component, is prone to produce nitrogen oxides (NO x ) during high-temperature decomposition, also facing environmental pressure. Currently, the removal of nitrate from enamel glaze has solved the problem of nitrogen oxide emissions (such as CN114368912B, CN114315150B, CN114315151B, etc.), and further implementation of fluorine-free and nitrate-free systems promotes the development of fluorine-free and nitrate-free systems, which is not only a necessary choice to respond to regulations, but also a forward-looking technical layout for the future.

[0007] The replacement of fluorinated salt is a major technical bottleneck at present, mainly reflected in:

[0008] (1) Fluoride salt dependence is strong, and environmental risk is prominent: CN119710693A (high-temperature-resistant enamel glaze) uses cryolite (Na3AlF6) as a fluxing agent, although it improves temperature resistance, but does not solve the problem of fluoride emissions; CN112342544A (low-temperature acid and alkali-resistant cast iron enamel) contains sodium fluoride (5-7 parts) in the face glaze formula.

[0009] (2) Non-fluorine substitution scheme has functional defects: CN105800935A (enamel underglaze material) attempts to use lanthanide oxides to enhance adhesion, but it still needs to add 8% fluoride to assist melting, and the high cost of rare earths makes it difficult to promote. CN116854374A (black enamel composite glaze) uses a cobalt-nickel underglaze system, but the anti-explosive agent used contains 8-10% fluorite powder.

[0010] (3) The field of ceramics involves fluoride-free schemes, but it is difficult to apply: CN110885189A relates to a zirconium-free lanolin enamel and a positioning crystal flower ceramic tile made using the same, CN115626774A relates to a soft light skin ceramic rock plate and a method for preparing the same, CN112979271A relates to a method for preparing a light-weight high-strength pure-color glaze tile, and CN118754723A relates to a hydrophilic self-cleaning antique tile based on phase separation and a method for preparing the same. Although the above-mentioned prior art does not involve the use of fluoride salts, the technical essence belongs to the field of building ceramic glazes, which is different from the field of enamel underglaze. There are essential differences between ceramic glaze and metal-based enamel glaze in terms of thermal expansion coefficient (the difference in expansion coefficient is one order of magnitude), firing temperature (the firing temperature of ceramic glaze is higher than that of enamel glaze by more than 200°C), and bonding mechanism (the body of ceramic glaze is porcelain clay, while the body of enamel glaze is metal), thus it cannot be directly applied to the field of metal-based enamel.

[0011] In summary, on the basis of denitrification, the problem of defluorination is solved, and the quality of enamel products is improved, which has very important practical significance for promoting the green, low-carbon, and high-quality development of the enamel industry. SUMMARY

[0012] In view of the excessive emission of fluorides in the production process of enamel glaze, which causes damage to health and the environment, the fluorine-containing salt products cannot meet the requirements of the EU REACH regulation on fluorine, and the emitted fluoride salt blocks environmental management facilities, which seriously restricts the normal production of enterprises, the present application provides a steel plate enamel medium-temperature antimony-molybdenum underglaze without fluorine-containing salt and nitrate, as well as a preparation method and application thereof.

[0013] The steel plate enamel medium temperature antimony molybdenum base glaze without fluorinated salt and nitrate of the application is prepared by the following steps: (1) weighing the raw materials according to the above-mentioned mass fraction; (2) stirring and mixing the raw materials uniformly; (3) melting the mixed materials in a melting furnace, and controlling the temperature at 1260±10 DEG C in a pure oxygen environment; (4) obtaining borosilicate glass after the materials are completely melted, and detecting the borosilicate glass by rapidly drawing it into a 1.2-1.5-meter glass filament; (5) rapidly cooling the melted borosilicate glass to obtain the product.

[0014] Further, the quartz is 23-25 parts by mass, the anhydrous borax is 24-25 parts by mass, the soda ash is 18-21 parts by mass, the potassium carbonate is 4-5.5 parts by mass, the potassium feldspar is 23-24 parts by mass, the sodium feldspar is 2.5-4 parts by mass, the antimony oxide is 2.5-2.9 parts by mass, the sodium tripolyphosphate is 1.5-2 parts by mass, and the barium molybdate is 0.2-0.4 parts by mass.

[0015] Further, the mass ratio of SiO2 in the quartz is ≥99.5%, the mass ratio of SiO2 in the potassium feldspar is ≥71%, and K2O+Na2O is ≥11%; the antimony oxide is Sb2O3, and the mass purity is ≥99.5%; and the other raw materials are of industrial grade purity.

[0016] The preparation method of the steel plate enamel medium temperature antimony molybdenum base glaze without fluorinated salt and nitrate comprises the following steps:

[0017] (1) weighing the raw materials according to the above-mentioned mass fraction;

[0018] (2) stirring and mixing the raw materials uniformly;

[0019] (3) melting the mixed materials in a melting furnace, and controlling the temperature at 1260±10 DEG C in a pure oxygen environment;

[0020] (4) obtaining borosilicate glass after the materials are completely melted, and detecting the borosilicate glass by rapidly drawing it into a 1.2-1.5-meter glass filament;

[0021] (5) rapidly cooling the melted borosilicate glass to obtain the product.

[0022] Further, in step (5), the rapid cooling is achieved by water quenching or tabletting.

[0023] The steel plate enamel medium temperature antimony molybdenum base glaze without fluorinated salt and nitrate is applied to a blank with a steel plate as a base body, and the firing temperature of the finished product is 800-840 DEG C, and the end point value 800 DEG C is not included.

[0024] The application significantly increases the content of the adhesion agent antimony oxide in the steel plate enamel medium-temperature molybdenum antimony underglaze formula, and the trace barium molybdate better synergizes, meanwhile, the introduction of the phosphate forms a low-eutectic complex fluxing system of'multinary carbonate + phosphate + borate', which, together with other components, finally not only significantly enhances the adhesion and fluxing of the underglaze, but also strengthens the synergistic effect between the components, and promotes the improvement of other performances such as the underglaze porcelain surface and gloss.

[0025] The application has the beneficial effects that:

[0026] (1) fluoride ultra-low standard emission is realized;

[0027] (2) the product is detected by SGS, the fluoride detection result shows that no fluoride is detected, and the limit value requirement of SVHC (high concern substance) in the EU REACH regulation is met.

[0028] (3) the end environmental protection equipment blockage problem is solved: the application completely removes fluoride (fluorite, sodium fluorosilicate, etc.), eliminates the fluoride salt crystallization source from the source, and solves the end environmental protection equipment blockage problem. According to the actual measurement of the production line, the continuous operation period of the equipment is prolonged from the original 10-15 days to more than 180 days, and the maintenance cost is significantly reduced.

[0029] (4) the core performance of the underglaze is maintained without attenuation: by increasing the content of the adhesion agent antimony oxide, the trace barium molybdate better synergizes, and the interaction with other components is strengthened, the adhesion enhancement effect of the fluoride is replaced, and the adhesion level is tested to be 1-2 level (the traditional fluoride-containing underglaze is 1-2 level).

[0030] (5) good medium-temperature firing adaptability: the low-eutectic complex fluxing system (multinary carbonate + phosphate + borate) interacts with other components, so that the firing temperature is stably controlled at 800-840℃, and the porcelain layer flow flatness and bubble elimination rate are equivalent to those of the fluoride-containing underglaze.
