Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of silica preparation technology, and in particular to a highly efficient method for preparing nano-silica based on biomass power plant ash slag. Background Technology

[0002] Silica, especially nanoscale silica, is widely used in numerous fields such as rubber, plastics, coatings, adsorbents, drug carriers, and electronic materials due to its high specific surface area, excellent chemical stability, good mechanical strength, and unique surface effects. With the development of high-tech industries, the demand for high-purity, low-cost nanoscale silica is increasing daily.

[0003] The existing industrial preparation methods for silica mainly include the gas phase method and the precipitation method. Although the gas phase method can produce high-purity products, the preparation process is energy-intensive and costly, which limits its large-scale application. The precipitation method usually uses quartz sand or industrial water glass as the silicon source and prepares it through acid hydrolysis or carbonation precipitation. However, this method is the same as the gas phase method, and also suffers from high energy consumption and high cost.

[0004] Biomass power plant ash has a complex composition, mainly consisting of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, K2O, P2O5, and SO3, as well as small amounts of MnO, TiO2, Na2O, unburned carbon, and a small amount of organic matter. Currently, the utilization of biomass ash is mostly focused on blending into building materials, soil improvement, and silica extraction.

[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a method for preparing high-value-added, high-purity nano-silica from direct combustion ash of biomass power plants with a high extraction rate. This method reduces the cost of silica while also improving the resource utilization of direct combustion ash from biomass power plants. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide an efficient method for preparing nano-silica based on biomass power plant ash, with the goal of reducing the preparation cost of silica and increasing the resource utilization of direct combustion ash from biomass power plants.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A method for efficiently preparing nano-silica based on biomass power plant ash residue includes the following steps:

[0009] S1. Raw material preparation and crushing: Take biomass ash from the power plant, crush it with a crusher, sieve it, and dry it with a blower to obtain pre-treated biomass ash.

[0010] S2. Add the pretreated biomass ash to an HCl solution with a concentration greater than 0 and not exceeding 5 mol / L at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:8-1:10. Under magnetic stirring, heat and reflux, then filter and dry the filter residue to obtain the acid-pretreated biomass ash.

[0011] S3. The pretreated biomass ash is mixed with NaOH solid at a ratio of 1:0.6-1:1.4 and placed in a muffle furnace. After high-temperature activation, the alkali-fused biomass ash is obtained.

[0012] S4. Add the alkali-fused biomass ash residue to a NaOH solution with a concentration greater than 0 and not exceeding 5 mol / L at a solid-liquid ratio of 1:8-1:10. Under magnetic stirring, heat and reflux, then filter and place the filtrate in a gas washing bottle to obtain water glass.

[0013] S5. Place the water glass in a constant temperature water bath, introduce CO2, and stop after a certain time. Let it stand at room temperature for a certain time, then filter and dry the filter residue to obtain nano-silica.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, when the pulverizer crushes and sieves the biomass ash, the particle size is controlled to be 80 mesh.

[0015] Furthermore, in step S2, the heating temperature is set to 90°C and the time is 2 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the HCl solution added in step S2 is a concentrated hydrochloric acid diluted to a concentration greater than 0 mol / L and not exceeding 5 mol / L.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S3, the alkali fusion temperature is 350℃-750℃, and the time is 1 hour.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S4, the heating temperature is set to 90°C and the time is 2.5 hours.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S4, the NaOH solution is a NaOH solution prepared from solid NaOH with a concentration greater than 0 mol / L and not exceeding 5 mol / L.

[0020] Furthermore, in step S5, the temperature of the constant temperature water bath is 90℃, the CO2 ventilation time is set to 1.5h, and the aging time is controlled within 72h.

[0021] The principle and beneficial effects of this technical solution: The present invention is a method for the efficient preparation of nano-silica, which uses direct combustion ash from biomass power plants as the silicon source. After alkali melting, Na2SiO3 solution is prepared by mixing, and then nano-silica is obtained by carbonation and precipitation with CO2.

[0022] The preparation method of this invention improves the extraction efficiency to over 90% while ensuring the various excellent properties of nano-silica. It provides a low-cost but highly effective silicon source for the preparation of nano-silica, further reducing the cost of nano-silica and broadening the avenues for the resource utilization of direct combustion ash from biomass power plants, achieving a win-win situation for both economic and environmental benefits.
