The invention belongs to the field of inorganic mineral functional materials, and provides a pH-responsive
tannic acid / attapulgite composite
microsphere and a preparation method thereof. According to the preparation method, the design that
epoxy silane grafted attapulgite and
tannic acid are subjected to ring opening on
epoxy groups through phenolic hydroxyl groups to form C-O-C
covalent bond anchoring is adopted, and then
spray drying and balling are performed to prepare the composite microspheres, so that low-
viscosity atomized
processing, controllable particle size balling and excellent
mechanical stability and dry-wet cycle stability under the high-
solid-content feeding condition are realized; the prepared inorganic mineral-
polyphenol composite particles have high processability and
mechanical stability and pH response water absorption performance, the problems that traditional inorganic mineral-
polyphenol composite particles are difficult to give consideration to
coupling contradiction between processability and
mechanical stability and performance consistency is insufficient during
metal coordination treatment are solved, and the inorganic mineral-
polyphenol composite particles have wide application value in the fields of intelligent adsorption materials, environment
response type functional fillers and the like.
