Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of inorganic non-metallic material preparation technology, and in particular to a material preparation method based on the synergistic optimization of montmorillonite purification and exfoliation. Background Technology
[0002] Montmorillonite, a natural layered silicate mineral, has significant application value in the field of materials due to its unique nanosheet structure, excellent mechanical properties, and chemical stability. However, natural montmorillonite raw materials often contain impurities such as quartz, calcite, and feldspar, and the strong interlayer forces directly restrict its performance. Therefore, it is necessary to purify and remove impurities and achieve layer dispersion through delamination.
[0003] In existing technologies, montmorillonite purification often employs centrifugation, but centrifugation parameters (speed and time) rely on empirical settings and are difficult to dynamically adjust based on raw material characteristics, leading to unstable purification purity. The delamination process often uses ultrasonic-assisted intercalation, but ultrasonic parameters lack correlation with purification effectiveness, easily resulting in uneven layer thickness and agglomeration. Furthermore, the purification and delamination processes are independent of each other, lacking a synergistic optimization mechanism, leading to poor consistency in final material properties and low production efficiency, thus limiting the application of montmorillonite in high-end materials fields. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a material preparation method based on the synergistic optimization of montmorillonite purification and exfoliation. The core of this method lies in the dynamic control of parameters throughout the entire process through intelligent algorithms, specifically including:
[0005] Raw material pretreatment: The initial particle size and impurity content of montmorillonite were determined to provide basic data for subsequent parameter optimization;
[0006] Intelligent purification: It adopts a linear optimization model of purification parameters to predict the optimal centrifugation parameters based on the characteristics of raw materials, so as to achieve efficient removal of impurities;
[0007] Intercalation reaction: The ratio of intercalating agent and reaction conditions are adjusted according to the purification purity to provide precursors for exfoliation;
[0008] Dynamic peeling: A dynamic control model for peeling effect is adopted, which correlates purification parameters with intercalation effect and optimizes ultrasonic parameters to achieve precise dispersion of layers;
[0009] Collaborative optimization: A dual-model closed-loop feedback is constructed through a collaborative optimization index to dynamically adjust purification and stripping parameters, ensuring that intermediate product indicators meet the standards.
[0010] Stabilization and molding: Based on the delamination and lamellar characteristics, the addition of stabilizers and the molding process are controlled, and high-performance montmorillonite materials are finally obtained through sintering.
[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0012] A material preparation method based on the synergistic optimization of montmorillonite purification and exfoliation includes the following steps:
[0013] S1: Pre-treat the natural montmorillonite raw material, determine the average initial particle size distribution and initial impurity content, and obtain the pre-treated montmorillonite.
[0014] S2: Based on the initial average particle size distribution and initial impurity content, the optimized centrifugation speed and optimized centrifugation time were calculated using a linear optimization model of purification parameters; the pretreated montmorillonite was centrifuged and purified according to the optimized centrifugation speed and optimized centrifugation time to obtain a purified montmorillonite suspension and determine its purity.
[0015] S3: Prepare an intercalating agent solution according to the purity, and carry out an intercalation reaction between the intercalating agent solution and the purified montmorillonite suspension to obtain a mixture of exfoliation precursors and determine its intercalation rate.
[0016] S4: Based on purity, intercalation rate and optimized centrifugation speed, the optimized ultrasonic power and optimized ultrasonic time were calculated using a dynamic control model for the delamination effect. The delamination precursor mixture was ultrasonically delaminated according to the optimized ultrasonic power and optimized ultrasonic time to obtain the initial delaminated montmorillonite dispersion and to determine its initial laminated thickness and initial laminated particle size.
[0017] S5: Calculate the synergistic optimization index based on purity, intercalation rate, initial lamella thickness, and initial lamella particle size. If the synergistic optimization index is less than the preset threshold, update the weight parameters of the linear optimization model of purification parameters and the dynamic control model of exfoliation effect respectively, and return to perform centrifugation purification, intercalation reaction, or ultrasonic exfoliation again until the synergistic optimization index is not less than the preset threshold, and obtain the optimized exfoliated montmorillonite dispersion. At the same time, measure its optimized lamella thickness and optimized lamella particle size.
[0018] S6: Prepare a stabilizer solution according to the optimized lamella thickness, and carry out a stabilization reaction between the stabilizer solution and the optimized stripped montmorillonite dispersion to obtain a stabilized stripped montmorillonite dispersion.
[0019] S7: Based on the optimized lamellae particle size, set the casting parameters, cast and dry the stabilized exfoliated montmorillonite dispersion to obtain a material blank;
[0020] S8: Set sintering parameters according to the optimized layer thickness, sinter the material blank, and obtain a montmorillonite-based material.

The initial lamella thickness and initial lamella particle size of the initially delaminated montmorillonite dispersion are measured again. The above adjustment and measurement steps are repeated until the initial lamella thickness is no greater than 5 nm and the initial lamella particle size is no greater than 200 nm. Then, the qualified initial lamella thickness and initial lamella particle size are transmitted to S5.
[0025] In this specification, the calculation method for the synergistic optimization index in S5 is as follows: the weights assigned to purity, intercalation rate, initial lamella thickness, and initial lamella particle size are 0.3, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.25, respectively; the synergistic optimization index is obtained by weighted summation based on the ratio of purity to target purity of 95%, the ratio of intercalation rate to target intercalation rate of 85%, the ratio of 1-lamella thickness to target thickness of 5 nm, and the ratio of 1-lamella particle size to target particle size of 200 nm.
[0026] In this manual, the process of updating the parameters of the purification parameter linear optimization model and the layer stripping effect dynamic control model in S5 includes: based on the difference between the co-optimization index and 1, combined with the gradient of the current model loss function, adjusting the linear equation weights of the purification parameter linear optimization model and the nonlinear equation weights of the layer stripping effect dynamic control model according to the preset learning rate of 0.01, so as to ensure that the prediction accuracy of the updated model is improved.
[0027] In this specification, the stabilizer solution in S6 is polyvinyl alcohol, and the mass fraction of the stabilizer solution is set according to the optimized sheet thickness: if the optimized sheet thickness is not greater than 3nm, the mass fraction is 0.3%; if the optimized sheet thickness is greater than 3nm but not greater than 5nm, the mass fraction = 0.3% + 0.05% × (optimized sheet thickness - 3nm).
[0028] In this specification, the casting parameters in S7 are set as follows: if the optimized sheet particle size is no greater than 100nm, the casting speed is 2m / min and the casting film thickness is 0.1mm; if the optimized sheet particle size is greater than 100nm but no greater than 200nm, the casting speed is 1m / min and the casting film thickness is 0.2mm.
