Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicon carbide ceramic technology, specifically to a silicon carbide ceramic heat exchange tube and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic heat exchangers can recover and utilize waste heat, improving energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and decreasing pollution emissions. They have broad application prospects in chemical, metallurgical, petroleum, and power industries. Silicon carbide ceramics possess advantages such as high thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and good chemical stability, making them an ideal choice for heat exchanger materials under extreme conditions such as high-temperature environments, strong acid and alkali corrosion, and severe wear. However, the shortcomings of silicon carbide ceramic materials (such as poor flexural strength and fracture toughness) are one of the important factors restricting the preparation and widespread application of high-performance silicon carbide ceramic heat exchange tubes. Due to the extremely strong covalent bonds and extremely low diffusion coefficient of silicon carbide, it is very difficult to completely densify silicon carbide ceramics, affecting their mechanical properties. Furthermore, the shrinkage stress generated during the crosslinking of phenolic resin can easily lead to deformation and cracking of the ceramic preform, affecting product performance.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN114560702A discloses a pressureless sintering extrusion process for silicon carbide ceramics. The silicon carbide ceramics are composed of silicon carbide, titanium diboride, carbon black, boron carbide, polyethylene glycol, corn starch, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, epoxy resin, ethanolamine, modifier and stabilizer, phytic acid, emulsified fatty acids, and deionized water. The process includes mixing, refining, aging, extrusion molding, high-frequency electromagnetic vibration treatment, drying, and sintering. This process has low equipment investment, low energy consumption, low cost, and simple process. The products prepared have high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high temperature resistance, but their mechanical properties are still insufficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a silicon carbide ceramic heat exchange tube and its preparation method.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for preparing a silicon carbide ceramic heat exchange tube includes the following steps:

[0007] (1) Disperse the modifier in anhydrous ethanol, add silicon carbide fine powder and react to obtain modified silicon carbide fine powder;

[0008] (2) Phenolic resin, modified benzoxazine and anhydrous ethanol are stirred and mixed, and carbon black, fly ash, modified silicon carbide fine powder and silicon carbide coarse powder are added in sequence and stirred and mixed. After aging, kneading, extrusion molding and drying, silicon carbide blank is obtained.

[0009] (3) The silicon carbide blank is placed in a high-temperature furnace for heat treatment to obtain silicon carbide ceramic heat exchange tubes.

[0010] The modifier is prepared by the following method:

[0011] S1: Diphenylsilanediol reacts with 3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane to form a linear polysiloxane; the reaction equation is shown below.

[0012] .

[0013] S2: A linear polysiloxane reacts with γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane to generate a modifier; the reaction equation is shown below:

[0014] .

[0015] In step S1, the molar ratio of diphenylsilanediol to 3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane is (0.9-1):1; in step S2, the mass ratio of linear polysiloxane to γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane is 2:(0.8-1).

[0016] The modified benzoxazine was prepared by the following method:

[0017] N1: The amino-terminated polyether reacts with 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol to form a dipropanediol-modified polyether; the reaction equation is shown below:

[0018] .

[0019] N2: Dipropanediol-modified polyether reacts with 4-aminophenylboronic acid to generate borate ester-modified polyether; the reaction equation is shown below:

[0020] .

[0021] N3: Boronate-modified polyether reacts with phenol in the presence of paraformaldehyde to generate modified benzoxazine. The reaction equation is shown below:

[0022] .

[0024] In step N2, the molar ratio of the dipropanediol modified polyether to 4-aminophenylboronic acid is 1:2.1.

[0025] In step N3, the molar ratio of the borate ester modified polyether to phenol is 1:2.1.

[0026] In steps (1) to (2), the weight parts of each component added are as follows: 25-35 parts of silicon carbide fine powder, 50-60 parts of silicon carbide coarse powder, 10-12 parts of carbon black, 4-5 parts of fly ash, 0.5-0.8 parts of modifier, 8-10 parts of phenolic resin, and 4-6 parts of modified benzoxazine.

[0027] In step (1), the mass ratio of the modifier to anhydrous ethanol is 1:200.

[0028] In step (3), the heat treatment process is to keep the temperature at 900-1100℃ for 1-2 hours and at 1600-1700℃ for 2-3 hours.

[0084] Table 1 Performance Test Data

[0085]

[0086] As can be seen from Examples 5, 6 and 7 in Table 1, the silicon carbide ceramic heat exchange tube prepared by the present invention has excellent apparent density, bending strength and fracture toughness.

[0087] The silicon carbide ceramic heat exchanger tube prepared by this invention exhibits high density, flexural strength, and fracture toughness. The modifier added to the composition contains a linear polysiloxane structure and methoxysilane. The methoxysilane is converted to silanol groups in an aqueous ethanol solution, which then undergo a condensation reaction with the -Si-OH groups on the surface of the silicon carbide fine powder, grafting onto the powder surface and reducing interfacial defects and porosity, thereby improving the density and strength of the green body. The linear polysiloxane structure prevents the agglomeration of silicon carbide fine powder particles through steric hindrance. In contrast, the polysiloxane in the modifier used in Comparative Example 2 has a network structure with poor structural regularity, leading to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the ceramic after calcination.

[0088] The modified benzoxazine prepared in this invention contains a benzoxazine structure, polyether segments, and dynamic borate ester bonds. The benzoxazine structure undergoes a curing reaction with the ortho-position of phenolic hydroxyl groups in phenolic resin under heating conditions. The flexible polyether segments can absorb the shrinkage strain generated during the curing process through segmental movement, reducing the internal defect density and thus improving the mechanical properties of the final ceramic. The dynamic reversibility of the borate ester bonds allows them to preferentially break and recombine in stress concentration areas, thereby redistributing stress, avoiding excessive stress concentration, reducing the initiation of microcracks during curing, and releasing boron atoms as a sintering aid during high-temperature sintering, which is beneficial for densification. Boron atoms replace carbon sites in the silicon carbide lattice, inducing lattice distortion, hindering dislocation movement, and improving the flexural strength and fracture toughness of silicon carbide ceramics. The benzoxazine structure, polyether segments, and dynamic borate ester bonds in the modified benzoxazine work synergistically to improve the density, flexural strength, and fracture toughness of silicon carbide ceramics. In Comparative Example 4, the modified benzoxazine had longer polyether segments, resulting in lower crosslinking density and accelerated cracking during calcination, leading to a decrease in density. In Comparative Example 5, the modified benzoxazine had shorter polyether segments, resulting in reduced flexibility and an inability to effectively alleviate curing shrinkage stress, which in turn led to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the ceramic.

[0089] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. However, any modifications, alterations, and variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention based on the disclosed technical content are equivalent embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, any modifications, alterations, and variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
