The invention discloses a method for preparing
hectorite nano-
powder through in-situ stripping of a synthetic
hectorite reaction liquid, and belongs to the technical field of nano-
powder preparation. The method aims at solving the problems that in the prior art, the technological process for preparing
hectorite nanosheets is complex, the stripping efficiency is low, the product uniformity is poor, and
continuous production is difficult. According to the technical scheme, the preparation method comprises the following steps: after a
hydrothermal synthesis reaction of hectorite is completed, naturally cooling a reaction solution, and aging at
room temperature for 24 hours; diluting with water until the
mass concentration of hectorite is 1-10wt%; the
diluent is directly subjected to high-pressure homogenization treatment under the pressure of 10-100 MPa without
drying, and interlayer in-situ efficient stripping is achieved through generated shearing, impacting and
cavitation effects; then carrying out filter pressing and washing on the homogenized liquid until the
conductivity of the discharged liquid is lower than 5S / cm; and finally, strongly
drying under the conditions that the temperature is 90-130 DEG C and the grading frequency is 5-25 Hz, so as to obtain the delaminated hectorite nano
powder with the
water content of less than or equal to 2.0%. Through an integrated strategy of synthesis, in-situ stripping and
continuous treatment, the traditional
drying and re-dispersing steps are omitted, the technological process is remarkably simplified, the
energy consumption is reduced, and the stripping effect is remarkable.
