Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of advanced ceramic materials technology, and in particular to a doped, corrosion-resistant, dioxin-resistant, wear-resistant silicon carbide ceramic material. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon carbide ceramics are widely used in mechanical seals, wear-resistant components, and cutting tools due to their high hardness, high wear resistance, and good thermal and chemical stability. However, in extremely harsh environments such as waste incineration and chemical metallurgy, equipment components not only suffer severe material wear but are also exposed to high temperatures, acidic / alkaline corrosive atmospheres, and persistent organic pollutants such as dioxins for extended periods. While traditional silicon carbide or oxide ceramics are wear-resistant, their resistance to high-temperature corrosion is limited, and they lack the ability to degrade toxic gases, resulting in short component lifespans and potential secondary pollution due to the adsorption or permeation of toxic substances on the material surface.
[0003] While traditional silicon carbide ceramics possess excellent mechanical properties, their functionality is relatively limited, lacking active corrosion resistance and catalytic purification capabilities. Some studies have improved the sintering performance and density of silicon carbide by adding sintering aids (such as Al₂O₃ and Y₂O₃), thereby enhancing its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance to some extent. Other research has attempted to load catalytic components (such as TiO₂) onto the ceramic surface to achieve photocatalytic functions. However, simple surface loading suffers from problems such as easy wear and detachment of the catalytic layer and short lifespan; while directly incorporating catalytic components into the ceramic matrix often leads to deactivation of the catalytic components or damage to the mechanical properties of the ceramic matrix due to high-temperature sintering.
[0004] How to endow silicon carbide ceramics with stable and long-lasting corrosion resistance and dioxin catalytic degradation capabilities without sacrificing their inherent excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical challenge of endowing existing silicon carbide ceramics with stable and long-term effective corrosion resistance and dioxin catalytic degradation capabilities while maintaining their inherent excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance, this invention provides a doped, corrosion-resistant, dioxin-resistant silicon carbide wear-resistant ceramic material.
[0006] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:
[0007] The present invention provides a doped corrosion-resistant and dioxin-resistant silicon carbide wear-resistant ceramic material, which, by weight, comprises the following components: silicon carbide powder: 80-95 parts, functional dopant: 1-10 parts, sintering aid: 2-8 parts, toughening agent: 2-5 parts, dispersant: 0.5-3 parts, binder: 0.5-10 parts;
[0008] The preparation method of the functional dopant is as follows:
[0009] (1) Disperse the anatase phase TiO2 nanopowder in a 0.1 mol / L dilute nitric acid solution, sonicate for 1 h, collect by centrifugation, wash twice with deionized water and twice with ethanol, and redisperse the washed TiO2 nanopowder in anhydrous ethanol to prepare an ethanol dispersion with a concentration of about 20 mg / mL.
[0010] (2) Dissolve the metal salt in an ethanol-water mixture (4:1, v / v), stir magnetically for 5-10 min until completely dissolved, and prepare a 3-8 wt% metal salt solution; dissolve tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in anhydrous ethanol, stir magnetically for 5-10 min until completely dissolved, and prepare a 10-20 wt% silicate ester solution; add concentrated hydrochloric acid to the solution pH=2-4, stir for 4-6 min, and obtain an acid-catalyzed silicate ester solution;
[0011] (3) The metal salt solution is slowly added dropwise to the acid-catalyzed silicate ester solution and mixed evenly. The anatase phase TiO2 nanopowder dispersion is added to the above mixed system. Under nitrogen protection, the temperature is raised to 50-70℃ and the rotation speed is 400-600rpm. 10mL of a mixture of deionized water and anhydrous ethanol in a volume ratio of 1:1 is slowly added dropwise, and the dropping rate is controlled at 1-2 drops / second. The entire dropping process lasts for about 1-2 hours. This process is the key to forming a uniform coating. The slow hydrolysis promotes the uniform nucleation and growth of silicate hydrolysis products on the surface of TiO2 nanocrystals. After the dropping is completed, the temperature is kept constant at 60℃ and the reaction is continued to be stirred for 12-24 hours to allow the coating layer to fully condense and solidify.
[0012] (4) After the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is naturally cooled to room temperature. The solid product is collected using a high-speed centrifuge (10000 rpm, 5-10 min). The product is washed with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water alternately by centrifugation 3-5 times each until the conductivity of the supernatant is close to that of deionized water, so as to completely remove unreacted ions and solvent. The washed product is dried in a vacuum drying oven at 80℃ for 12 h to obtain a primary powder of TiO2 coated with an amorphous layer.
[0013] (5) Place the primary powder in a tube furnace and heat it to 340-360℃ at 1-3℃ / min under a flowing oxygen atmosphere, and hold it for 1-3h to completely decompose the residual organic groups and nitrates. Then switch the atmosphere to nitrogen and heat it to 600-900℃ at 4-6℃ / min, and hold it for 2-4h to transform the amorphous silicate shell into a defective crystalline or microcrystalline state, stabilize the structure, and promote the Ce in the shell under an inert or weakly reducing atmosphere. 4+ Partially restored to Ce 3+ Sn 4+ Partially restored to Sn2+ The desired mixed valence state is formed, which is the core of endowing it with high-temperature redox catalytic activity. After being cooled to room temperature in the furnace, the final functional dopant powder is obtained, which is a core-shell structured nanocomposite powder with an anatase TiO2 core and a crystalline silicate shell containing mixed valence states Ce / Sn.

[0017] Preferably, the silicon carbide matrix is composed of silicon carbide micro powders of four different particle sizes of 0.1-10μm mixed in a specific ratio, wherein the 0.1-1μm micro powder accounts for 20-30%, the 1-5μm micro powder accounts for 20-30%, the 5-20μm micro powder accounts for 25-27%, and the 20-50μm micro powder accounts for 20-25%.
[0018] Preferably, the sintering aid is a composite of Al2O3 and rare earth oxides, wherein the rare earth oxides are at least one of Y2O3, Sc2O3, and Yb2O3, and the molar ratio of Al2O3 to rare earth oxides is 2.5-3.5:1.5-2.5.
[0019] Preferably, the toughening agent is short-cut carbon fiber or graphene nanosheets.
[0020] Preferably, the dispersant is at least one of polyacrylic acid, sodium polycarboxylate, sodium humate, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, or polyethylene glycol.
[0021] Preferably, the adhesive is at least one of polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, or polyvinylpyrrolidone.
[0022] A method for preparing the doped corrosion-resistant, dioxin-resistant, and wear-resistant silicon carbide ceramic material includes the following steps:
[0023] S1, Preparation of functional dopants;
[0024] S2. Raw material mixing: Weigh each component according to the weight parts, put the weighed silicon carbide powder, functional dopant, sintering aid, toughening agent and dispersant into a ball mill jar, add an appropriate amount of anhydrous ethanol or deionized water as the ball milling medium, use zirconia balls as grinding balls, and ball mill and mix for 4-12 hours at a speed of 200-400 rpm to obtain a uniform slurry.
[0025] S3. Granulation and molding: The ball-milled slurry is dried at 80-120℃ to remove the solvent. The dried mixed powder is sieved and granulated with a binder solution to obtain granules with good flowability. The granules are then loaded into a mold and dry-pressed under a pressure of 10-100MPa to obtain ceramic green bodies. The green bodies can be further subjected to cold isostatic pressing at a pressure of 100-300MPa for 1-5 minutes to improve the density and uniformity of the green bodies.
[0026] S4. Debinding and Sintering: The formed green body is placed in a sintering furnace and heated to 400-600℃ at a rate of 0.5-2℃ / min under air or an inert atmosphere, and held for 1-3 h to completely remove the binder. Then, under an inert atmosphere (such as argon) or vacuum, the temperature is raised to 1800-2200℃ at a rate of 5-10℃ / min and held for 0.5-3 h for sintering. The material is then cooled to room temperature with the furnace to obtain the doped corrosion-resistant, dioxin-resistant silicon carbide wear-resistant ceramic material.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:
[0028] 1. Functional integration and performance synergy are achieved: By introducing functional dopants with specific core-shell structures into the silicon carbide matrix, while retaining the inherent high strength, high hardness, excellent wear resistance and thermal stability of silicon carbide ceramics, the material is also endowed with the ability to actively resist corrosion and catalytically degrade dioxins, thus solving the problem of the single function of traditional silicon carbide ceramics.
[0029] 2. Long-lasting and stable corrosion resistance and catalytic function: The functional dopant adopts a core-shell structure design with an anatase TiO2 core and a Ce / Sn mixed-valence silicate shell. This structure protects the photocatalytic active center of the TiO2 core through the physical barrier and chemical stability of the shell, avoiding its deactivation during high-temperature sintering and use. Meanwhile, the Ce in the shell... 3+ / Ce 4+ and Sn 2+ / Sn 4+ The mixed valence states constitute a highly efficient redox pair, which can continuously catalyze the degradation of stubborn organic pollutants such as dioxins under high temperature or light conditions, and improve the material's corrosion resistance in complex chemical environments, thus achieving long-term functional effectiveness.
[0030] 3. Optimized material structure and sintering process: Using multi-graded silicon carbide powder as the matrix is beneficial for improving green density and sintering activity, resulting in a denser microstructure. Combined with an Al2O3-rare earth oxide composite sintering aid system, a liquid phase promoting densification can be formed at a relatively low sintering temperature, which is conducive to uniform grain growth and performance improvement. The introduction of short-cut carbon fibers or graphene toughening agents can effectively improve the fracture toughness of the material through crack deflection, bridging, and other mechanisms, preventing brittle fracture.

[0090] Data Analysis:
[0091] 1. Mechanical Property Analysis: Examples 1 (Ce-doped + carbon fiber) and 3 (Ce / Sn co-doped + carbon fiber) exhibit flexural strengths in the range of 450-500 MPa and significantly improved fracture toughness due to the combination of gradation optimization and fiber toughening. Example 2 (Sn-doped + graphene) demonstrates outstanding fracture toughness thanks to the unique toughening mechanism of graphene. Comparative Example 1 (single particle size) suffers from low particle packing efficiency, resulting in a significant decrease in density and strength; its flexural strength reaches only 320 MPa, significantly lower than the examples. Comparative Examples 4 (direct mixing of catalytic components) and 3 (surface-loaded TiO2) show that direct mixing or post-loading of catalytic components disrupts matrix continuity or introduces interfacial weaknesses, leading to lower mechanical properties (especially strength and toughness) compared to the examples. Comparative Example 6 (no toughening agent) achieves higher matrix hardness and density, but the material is brittle and exhibits low fracture toughness (below 4.0 MPa·m). 1 / 2 It has poor impact and thermal shock resistance.
[0092] 2. Wear and Corrosion Resistance Analysis: The examples, through high-density sintering, minimize porosity and block the penetration channels of corrosive media. The introduction of toughening phases (carbon fiber, graphene) improves toughness without significantly sacrificing hardness. This allows the examples to resist indentation and inhibit crack propagation during abrasive wear, thus exhibiting excellent wear resistance. Regarding corrosion resistance, the high-density matrix combined with stable CeO2 or SnO2 doped phases remains stable in acidic and alkaline environments. The silicon carbide prepared in the examples, after immersion in concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide for 720 hours, showed a mass loss of less than 0.2%. Comparative Example 1 (single particle size) and Comparative Example 4 (straight particle size) showed similar results. (With mixed components), due to lower density or uneven structure, there are more open pores, making it easier for corrosive media to penetrate, resulting in decreased corrosion resistance. Wear resistance is also affected by lower strength. In Comparative Example 3 (surface-loaded TiO2), the surface coating peels off under harsh wear or corrosion environments, leading to protection failure. In Comparative Example 6 (without toughening agent), although the hardness may be very high, it is brittle and is prone to cracking and propagation under impact wear or thermal shock conditions, resulting in a shortened wear life. Comparative Example 2 (undoped) and Comparative Example 5 (single valence state) have corrosion resistance that depends on the matrix silicon carbide and generally perform well, but lack the additional protection or stabilizing effect of dopants for specific corrosive environments.
[0093] 3. Dioxin degradation efficiency analysis: Ce element (especially Ce) 3+ / Ce 4+ Mixed valence states are known highly efficient catalytic active sites that can activate C-Cl bonds. Sn doping can also provide additional active sites. In Examples 1 and 3, Ce was reduced to contain Ce. 3+ / Ce 4+ Mixed valence state, Sn in Example 2 with Sn 2+ / Sn 4+ The form exists; Example 3 is Ce / Sn co-doped. These mixed or co-doped valence states can effectively promote the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, greatly improving the photocatalytic efficiency, so that the dioxin degradation efficiency can reach 90-95%. Comparative Example 2 (no functional dopant), the pure silicon carbide matrix has almost no catalytic activity, and the dioxin degradation efficiency is close to zero. Comparative Example 5 (single valence state Ce) 4+ ), Ce 4+ The catalytic activity is typically lower than that of mixed valence states (Ce). 3+ / Ce 4 +The degradation efficiency of Comparative Example 1 (mixed valence Ce) is lower than that of Comparative Example 4 (directly mixed catalytic components). The active components are unevenly dispersed, easily agglomerated and deactivated, and will fall off during use due to weak bonding, resulting in low and unstable catalytic efficiency. Although Comparative Example 3 (surface-loaded TiO2) has certain photocatalytic or catalytic potential, the loading amount is limited, and the problem of bonding with the matrix will affect its long-term activity and stability. Comparative Examples 1 and 6 have the same catalytic components as Comparative Example 1, but their poor mechanical properties (Comparative Example 1) or brittleness (Comparative Example 6) will cause the materials to be easily damaged in practical use, thereby causing the catalytic function to fail prematurely.

It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
