Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of enamel, and particularly relates to a steel plate enamel high-temperature titanium milk yellow face glaze without fluorinated salt and nitrate, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The steel plate enamel high-temperature titanium milk yellow face glaze needs to meet three core indexes of high opacity (milk performance), hue and gloss. The traditional formula relies on fluorinated salt (fluorite / fluorosilicate accounts for 1-12%) to achieve fluxing. The fluorinated salt in the traditional high-temperature titanium milk yellow face glaze is not an "optional" additive, but an "indispensable" skeleton component. Since the fluorinated salt has multiple synergies of reducing the melting temperature, forming an alloy layer by corroding the interface, creating a mechanical anchoring effect, improving the opacity and wettability, simply and roughly removing the fluorinated salt is equivalent to removing the load-bearing wall of the building, which does not lead to "performance decline", but "collapse" of the entire enamel system. Any fluorine-free attempt 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 is still 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 damage to health and environment.

[0004] 2. The European Union REACH regulation lists fluorides as a high-concern substance (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 due to fluorinated salt crystallization, which seriously restricts 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 denitration of enamel glaze has solved the problem of nitrogen oxide emission (such as CN114368912B, CN114315150B, CN114315151B, etc.), and further realizing fluorine-free, promoting the research and development of fluorine-free and nitrate-free system 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) Fluorinated 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 fluorine emission; 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% fluorine to assist melting, and the high cost of rare earth 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 fluorine-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 fluorinated salt, its technical essence belongs to the field of building ceramic glaze, 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 between the two 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 existing enamel glaze, which causes damage to health and the environment, the fluorinated salt-containing products cannot meet the requirements of the EU REACH regulation on fluorine, and the emitted fluorinated salt blocks environmental management facilities, which seriously restricts the normal production of enterprises, a steel plate enamel high-temperature titanium milk yellow face glaze without fluorinated salt and nitrate salt, as well as a preparation method and application thereof are provided.

[0013] The enamel high-temperature titanium milk yellow face glaze of the steel plate without fluorinated salt and nitrate of the application is prepared from the following components in the following mass parts: quartz 36-39 parts, zero-water borax 20-23 parts, rutile 15-18 parts, potassium feldspar 20-23 parts, trisodium phosphate 8-10 parts, potassium carbonate 4.5-7.5 parts, potassium dichromate 0.02-0.05 parts, and zinc oxide 2-3 parts.

[0014] Further, the quartz is 38-39 parts, the zero-water borax is 22-23 parts, the rutile is 17-18 parts, the potassium feldspar is 20-21 parts, the trisodium phosphate is 9-10 parts, the potassium carbonate is 6-7.5 parts, the potassium dichromate is 0.04-0.05 parts, and the zinc oxide is 2.5-3 parts.

[0015] Further, in the quartz, the mass ratio of SiO2 and Fe2O3 is: SiO2≥99%, Fe2O3≤0.05%; in the rutile, the mass ratio of TiO2 is: TiO2≥99%; and the zinc oxide is prepared by distillation of metallic zinc and then oxidation, and the mass purity is ≥99.7%.

[0016] The preparation method of the enamel high-temperature titanium milk yellow face glaze of the steel plate without fluorinated salt and nitrate, comprising the following steps:

[0017] (1) the raw materials are weighed according to the above mass parts;

[0018] (2) the raw materials in step (1) are stirred and mixed uniformly;

[0019] (3) the uniformly mixed material is added into a melting furnace, and melting is carried out under pure oxygen condition, and the melting temperature is controlled at 1300±10℃;

[0020] (4) after the material in step (3) is completely melted, a borosilicate glass body is obtained, the molten borosilicate glass body is struck, and is quickly drawn into a glass filament of 1.2-1.5 meters for detection, and the detection requirement is: no knot is found in 1 meter of the glass filament, and the melting is continued for 5-10 minutes, and then the melting is completed;

[0021] (5) the molten borosilicate glass body is rapidly cooled, and the product is obtained.

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

[0023] The enamel high-temperature titanium milk yellow face glaze of the steel plate 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 840-880℃, and does not include the end point value 840℃.

[0024] In addition, by adjusting the components and amount of the fluxing agent of the non-fluorinated salt in the formula of the present application, the melting of the enamel can be completed as required even without the fluxing of the fluorinated salt; the zinc oxide is introduced into the formula of the high-temperature titanium milk yellow enamel of the steel plate enamel, which cooperates with the titanium dioxide in the rutile, the ZnO / TiO2 reduces the viscosity of the liquid phase, and accelerates the diffusion of ions and bubbles; the amount of the phosphate is increased, on the one hand, the phosphate provides the [PO4] 3- group to promote the nucleation of feldspar, and on the other hand, the eutectic complex fluxing system of the "carbonate + phosphate + borate" is formed to strengthen the fluxing, and the components cooperate to promote the improvement of the gloss, opacity, sintering performance and other performances of the enamel.

[0025] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] (1) The fluorinated substance is discharged in an ultra-low standard.

[0027] (2) The product is detected by SGS, and the detection result of the fluorinated substance shows that it is not detected, which meets the limit requirement of the SVHC (high concern substance) of the EU REACH regulation.

[0028] (3) The problem of the blockage of the end environmental protection equipment is solved: by completely removing the fluorinated substance (fluorite, sodium fluorosilicate, etc.), the fluorinated salt crystallization source is eliminated from the source, and the problem of the blockage of the end environmental protection equipment is solved. 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 sintering adaptability is good: the eutectic complex fluxing system (carbonate + phosphate + borate) interacts with other components, so that the sintering temperature is stably controlled at 840-880℃, and the enamel surface has good leveling property.

[0030] (5) The amount of the phosphate is increased, the phosphate provides the [PO4] 3- group to promote the nucleation of feldspar; the amount of the zinc oxide is increased, the ZnO / TiO2 reduces the viscosity of the liquid phase, accelerates the diffusion of ions, and cooperates with other components to enhance the opacity (opalescence performance) and gloss of the enamel.
