Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmentally friendly ceramics technology, specifically to a high-strength environmentally friendly ceramic and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening implementation of the "dual-carbon" strategy, the development of new ceramic materials with high performance and low environmental impact has become a trend in industrial development. Ceramic materials, with their durability and refractory properties, play an important role in this process. However, the traditional ceramic production process is often not environmentally friendly enough, and the performance of its products often presents a contradiction between mechanical strength and thermal insulation. For example, the high porosity of ceramics usually reduces their mechanical strength, making it difficult to achieve a balance between high strength and high porosity. Therefore, environmentally friendly ceramics that combine high strength and excellent thermal insulation performance are gradually becoming the ideal choice in the market. Although the industry has recognized that utilizing natural minerals (such as diatomaceous earth) is an important way to improve the environmental protection properties of ceramics, some technical difficulties still exist. Taking diatomaceous earth as an example, it has a natural microporous structure, making it an ideal raw material for giving ceramics lightweight thermal insulation functions; however, the introduction of diatomaceous earth usually deteriorates the mechanical strength of the material. Therefore, developing a ceramic material that combines environmental protection and high strength is of great significance.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN118878313A discloses a high-strength environmentally friendly ceramic for daily use and its preparation process, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 30-35 parts potassium feldspar, 10-15 parts sodium feldspar, 10-15 parts spodumene, 8-12 parts bentonite-doped effect modifier, 8-10 parts mullite, 8-12 parts chitosan regulator, 2-5 parts nano zinc oxide, and 2-5 parts nano silver powder. This invention uses potassium feldspar, sodium feldspar, spodumene, and mullite as raw materials, combined with nano zinc oxide and nano silver powder, to optimize the product's antibacterial properties. The addition of bentonite-doped effect modifier and chitosan regulator works synergistically to achieve a coordinated improvement in product strength and cleaning performance, as well as significant antibacterial durability. However, its thermal insulation performance remains insufficient. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The mechanical properties and thermal insulation properties of the high-strength environmentally friendly ceramics prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0033] Mechanical property testing: The high-strength environmentally friendly ceramics prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were cut into specimens with dimensions of 10mm × 10mm × 10mm. The surface of the specimens was polished smooth, and the compressive strength was measured using a universal testing machine at a loading rate of 0.5mm / min, according to the formula... (S: compressive strength of the specimen, MPa; P: pressure at which the specimen just fails, N; A: average pressure area of the specimen, mm) 2 A1: Area of the upper surface of the sample, mm 2 A2: Lower surface area of the sample, mm 2 Calculate the compressive strength, repeat three times and take the average value.
[0034] Thermal insulation performance test: The thermal conductivity and apparent porosity of the high-strength environmentally friendly ceramics prepared in the examples and comparative examples were tested as indicators to evaluate their thermal insulation performance. The higher the apparent porosity and the lower the thermal conductivity, the better the thermal insulation performance. The high-strength environmentally friendly ceramics prepared in Examples 4-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were cut into samples with dimensions of 50mm × 50mm × 5mm.
[0035] The thermal conductivity was tested using the following method: the sample surface was polished flat, and the thermal conductivity of the sample was tested using the Xiaxi Technology TC3100 thermal conductivity tester. The test temperature was set to 25℃. The same sample was tested three times and the average value was taken as its final thermal conductivity.
[0036] Apparent porosity was tested using the following method: The cleaned sample was placed in a drying oven and dried at 110℃ ± 5℃ to constant weight. It was then cooled to room temperature in a desiccator, and the dry weight (m1) of the sample was measured to an accuracy of 0.001 g. The dried sample was placed in a vacuum container, and the vacuum pump was started to ensure the residual pressure in the container was less than 2500 Pa. The sample was held at this vacuum level for 15 min. The stopcock between the vacuum container and the storage bottle was opened, and distilled water was injected, increasing the water level to 20 mm above the sample within 3 min. Vacuuming continued for 30 min, and the vacuum pump was turned off to allow the vacuum container to return to normal pressure. The sample was then immersed at normal pressure for 30 min. The immersed saturated sample was placed in a basket and suspended in a container filled with distilled water and equipped with an overflow pipe. The suspended mass (m2) of the saturated sample in the distilled water was measured to an accuracy of 0.001 g. Select pure cotton towels according to GB / T29862, cut them into squares with sides of 14cm, soak them in distilled water for 5 minutes, remove them and fold them into squares with sides of 7cm. Lay them flat under the press head and apply pressure. The press head should completely cover the towel. Hold the pressure at 3.3kN±0.2kN for 10 seconds. Wipe away any liquid drained around the press head with a clean cotton cloth, then remove the towel containing distilled water. Remove the sample from the distilled water, wipe away any liquid adhering to the sample surface with the towel soaked in distilled water, and weigh the saturated sample in air (m3) within 30 seconds, accurate to 0.001g. The basket is made of 0.2mm diameter metal wire and used to weigh the saturated distilled water sample. The suspension wire is a clean, inelastic 0.2mm diameter wire. Calculate the apparent porosity using the following formula: p= .
[0037] Table 1
[0038] As shown in Table 1, the high-strength environmentally friendly ceramics prepared in Examples 4-6 of this application exhibit high compressive strength, high apparent porosity, and low thermal conductivity, demonstrating excellent mechanical properties and thermal insulation performance. This is due to the presence of disulfide bonds, benzene rings, siloxane structures, norbornene structures, and multiple carboxyl groups in the added modifiers. During the green body stage, the carboxyl groups can form coordination bonds with metal ions in the ceramic raw materials (diatomite, albite, talc) and hydrogen bonds with hydroxyl groups on the surface of diatomite. The combined effect of coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds constructs a green body reinforcement network. Simultaneously, the siloxane structure can form Si-O-Si covalent bonds with hydroxyl groups on the surface of diatomite, further enhancing the bonding strength of the green body. The rigid structures of the benzene rings and norbornene prevent excessive molecular chain entanglement, ensuring uniform distribution of coordination bonds and further forming a reinforcement network, collectively improving the mechanical properties of the ceramic. During the intermediate temperature stage, disulfide bonds break and absorb energy, relieving stress caused by powder accumulation. The organic structures such as norbornene and carboxyl groups gradually decompose, releasing small-molecule olefins and CO2 gases, generating numerous pores within the green body, significantly increasing apparent porosity, reducing the thermal conductivity of the ceramic, and thus improving its thermal insulation performance. During the high-temperature sintering stage, the silica generated from the decomposition of siloxane structures participates in the formation of the glass phase of the ceramic, thereby improving the material's density and mechanical strength. The modifier used in Comparative Example 2 lacks a norbornene structure, which weakens rigidity, leading to a decrease in the ceramic's mechanical properties. Furthermore, it reduces the gases generated during sintering, lowering apparent porosity, increasing thermal conductivity, and decreasing thermal insulation performance. The modifier used in Comparative Example 4 has a weakened ability to form Si-O-Si covalent bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the diatomaceous earth surface, resulting in a weakened green network strength and a decrease in the mechanical properties of the final ceramic material.
