The invention discloses a core-shell structure
aerogel and a preparation method and application thereof in
refractory bricks, and belongs to the technical field of
thermal insulation materials, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding
zirconium oxychloride into an
ethanol water solution at
room temperature for
hydrolysis, then adding carboxylated
silicon dioxide
aerogel, stirring and mixing, then adding a gelling agent to form a
sol solution, and carrying out
vacuum drying to obtain the core-shell structure
aerogel. Performing sealed aging to obtain wet gel, and performing
solvent replacement,
supercritical drying and crushing to obtain core-shell structure aerogel; the method for applying the aerogel to the
refractory brick comprises the following steps: adding the aerogel with the core-shell structure into an
organic solvent for soaking, then adding the
refractory brick raw materials with the particle size of 0.05-0.2 mm for mixing, then adding the refractory
brick raw materials with the remaining particle size for mixing, and finally adding a
bentonite solution for uniformly mixing to obtain a refractory brick mixture; and carrying out
compression molding, high-temperature
calcination and cooling to obtain the refractory brick. The prepared refractory brick has the characteristics of high strength, high
temperature resistance and low heat
conductivity, and the problem that the strength and heat insulation of a traditional refractory brick cannot be considered at the same time is solved.
