The invention relates to a method for preparing hexagonal flaky
magnesium hydroxide through a hydration modification one-
step method, and belongs to the technical field of inorganic material preparation. Hyperbranched
sodium polyacrylate containing phosphonic acid and
ammonium phosphonate salt is synthesized and serves as a
crystal forming agent for
magnesium hydroxide crystal growth, the hyperbranched
sodium polyacrylate can coordinate with
magnesium ions, uniform growth of all
crystal faces of the magnesium
hydroxide crystal is promoted, and the magnesium hydroxide
crystal growth rate is increased. And the hyperbranched structure can better and moderately wrap the formed magnesium hydroxide crystal, so that the uniform growth property of the crystal face is improved. In addition,
ammonium phosphate groups and
carboxylate in the crystal forming agent have good
wetting dispersity, agglomeration of magnesium hydroxide crystals is weakened, and the
particle size distribution uniformity is improved. According to the method, the magnesium
oxide powder and the crystal forming agent are ground and then subjected to the
hydration reaction, the hexagonal flaky magnesium hydroxide is synthesized through a one-
step method, and the prepared magnesium hydroxide is in a regular hexagonal flaky shape, has uniform
particle size distribution, and has relatively high purity and relatively low
impurity content.
