PATENT SPECIFICATION FOR THE INVENTION ENTITLED:
Foamed ceramics and preparation method thereof
The invention is described in the following statement:-
Foamed ceramics and preparation method thereof
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to the field of green building materials, in particular to a foamed
ceramic and a preparation method thereof.
BACKGROUND
As a secondary resource with the largest amount of bulk solid waste and a low utilization
rate, tailings are an urgent resource utilization problem in my country. A large amount of
piled tailings occupies the land area, affects the water, soil, vegetation and ecological
environment of the mining area, and there are certain safety hazards such as collapse and
landslides. Foamed ceramic is a kind of building fireproof and thermal insulation material
with high porosity. With its light weight and thin body, heat and sound insulation,
moisture and fire resistance, high strength, good cold and heat stability, etc., it can be
used in exterior wall insulation, building interior partitions, fire barriers, etc. Its main raw
materials are silicon aluminum oxide and some alkali metal oxides and blowing agents.
According to its chemical composition characteristics, we can use gold tailings to replace
silicon aluminum oxide raw materials. In this way, the secondary utilization of tailings
resources can be realized, the resource utilization rate can be improved, and the stability
of foamed ceramics can also be enhanced. The use of gold tailings to prepare foamed
ceramic products can increase the utilization rate of tailings and the added value of the
product, thereby realizing the recycling and efficient use of mineral resources. However,
in view of the characteristics of gold tailings, the current use of gold tailings to prepare foamed ceramics has the problems of complex technology, long sintering time and high sintering temperature. In addition, the prepared foamed ceramic has the problems of low strength, heavy weight, and poor heat insulation effect.
SUMMARY
The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems in the related art at
least to a certain extent. Therefore, the present invention proposes a foamed ceramic and
a preparation method thereof. On the one hand, when a large amount of gold tailings are
mixed, the sintering time is greatly shortened, the sintering temperature is lowered and
energy is saved. On the other hand, foamed ceramics with light weight, high strength and
good heat insulation effect are obtained.
In order to achieve the above objective, the first aspect of the present invention provides a
method for preparing foamed ceramics, which includes the following steps:
Selection of raw materials. In parts by weight, gold tailings are 55-80 parts, bentonite are
-20 parts, kaolin are 5-10 parts, talc are5-10 parts, calcite are 0-5 parts, silicon carbide
powder are 0.4-1.2 parts, water reducing agent are 0.4-1.2 parts;
Grinding and mixing of raw materials. Grind the above-mentioned raw materials, add
water and perform wet grinding to obtain slurry;
Suction drying. Filter out the moisture in the slurry to make it into a solid compact, and
obtain a green body after drying;
Load the billet into the mold. The green body is made into powder, and the powdered
billet is poured into the mold;
High-temperature sintering. Place the mold with the billet in an electric furnace, adjust
the foaming temperature at 1170°C-1200°C, keep it for 60-90min, then quench it to
900°C-1000C, and then cool it to make foamed ceramics.
The second aspect of the present invention provides a foamed ceramic prepared by the
above method.
In addition, the above-mentioned foamed ceramic preparation method according to the
present invention may also have the following additional technical features:
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of adjusting the foaming
temperature includes:
First, at room temperature, the temperature is raised to 300 0 C for 30 minutes, then to
600 0C for 60 minutes, then to 1030°C for 60 minutes, and finally to1170-1200 0 C for 30
minutes.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the gold tailings include the
following components- by weight, 75-80 parts of SiO2, 9-13 parts of Al203, 2-6 parts of
K20, 0-1 parts of MgO, 0-1 parts of Na20 , 1-4 parts of Fe203 and 1-3 parts of CaO.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the bentonite includes the
following components- in parts by weight, 68-72 parts of SiO2, 13-17 parts of Al203, 1-4
parts of K20, 1-3 parts of MgO, 0-1 parts of Na20, 1-3 parts of Fe203, 1-3 parts of CaO.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the kaolin includes the following
components- by weight, 68-72 parts of SiO2, 13-17 parts of Al203, 2-6 parts of K20, 0-1
parts of MgO, 0-1 parts of Na20, 1-3 parts of Fe203, 0-1 parts of CaO.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the talc includes the following
components- by weight, 15-20 parts of SiO2, 35-45 parts of MgO, 0-1 parts of A1203, 0-1
parts of K20, 0-1 parts of Na20, 0-1 parts of Fe203, 0-1 parts of CaO.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step of grinding and mixing
the raw materials, after adding water, the water content of the mixture is 40%-50%.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the bentonite to
the kaolin is 2:1.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the compressive strength of the
foamed ceramic is 7.0-7.6 MPa, the bulk density is 390.6-407.8 kg/m3 , and the thermal
conductivity is 0.067-0.068 W/(m-k).
Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. Incorporating a large amount of gold tailings to improve the solid waste utilization rate.
2. By mixing proper amount of bentonite, the sintering time is shortened and energy is
saved; specifically, bentonite is a non-metallic mineral with montmorillonite as the main
mineral component. Montmorillonite will swell strongly when exposed to water and has strong water absorption. Montmorillonite is a 2:1 type clay mineral. It is composed of two silicon-oxygen tetrahedral sheet and an aluminum oxide octahedral sheet to form a structural unit layer. The sinterability of bentonite can increase the plasticity, bending resistance and strength of ceramics of ceramics, make products less prone to cracking and help reduce sintering time and energy consumption. In addition, the suspension and stability are greatly enhanced, so that the water suspension is stabilized in the paste, and at the same time, it can be used as a thickener to improve the viscosity of the raw material.
The incorporation of bentonite facilitates ball milling and has a lubricating effect during
the grinding process.
3. The mass ratio of bentonite to kaolin in this embodiment is 2:1, and ion exchange can
be carried out between bentonite and kaolin, which has a synergistic effect on the
performance of foamed ceramics. Specifically, Kaolin is a kind of water-containing
aluminosilicate, which is a triclinic crystal system, and there are no cations or water
molecules between the structural layers. Bentonite is a non-metallic mineral with
montmorillonite as the main mineral component. Montmorillonite, also known as
microcrystalline kaolinite, is a layered structure and plate-like crystalline silicate clay
mineral in monoclinic crystal system. There are cations or water molecules between the
structural layers. The cations of the interlayer structure such as Cu, Mg, Na, K, etc. are
easily exchanged by other cations, thus realizing the ion exchange between the two.
4. This application greatly reduces the foaming temperature.
5. The foamed ceramic prepared by the preparation method of the present application has
excellent properties of high strength, light weight and good heat insulation effect.

It can be seen from Table 1 that compared with the foamed ceramics in Comparative
Examples 1-3 and 5-6, the foamed ceramics in Examples 1-4 have excellent properties of
light weight, high strength, and heat insulation. Compared with the foamed ceramics of
Comparative Example 4, the foamed ceramics of Examples 1-4 have slightly inferior
properties.
It is worth mentioning that the mass ratio of bentonite to kaolin in Comparative Example
4 is 2:1, which makes the ion exchange effect between bentonite and kaolin better, so as
to achieve a synergistic effect on foamed ceramics. Specifically, the difference between
bentonite and kaolin lies in its spatial structure. Kaolin is a water-containing
aluminosilicate, which is a triclinic crystal system, and there are no cations or water
molecules between the structural layers. Montmorillonite, also known as microcrystalline
kaolinite, is a layered structure and plate-like crystalline silicate clay mineral. It is a
monoclinic crystal system with cations or water molecules between the structural layers.
Interlayer cations such as Cu, Mg, Na, K, etc. are easily exchanged by other cations, so
bentonite and kaolin can be ion exchanged.
And the foamed ceramic prepared in Comparative Example 5 without adding kaolin,
because of the bentonite failed to perform ion exchange, the performance of the foamed
ceramic was extremely poor.
Specifically, for the foamed ceramic prepared in Comparative Example 1 without adding
bentonite, on the one hand, the total sintering time is greatly increased, especially in the
high temperature insulation foaming stage, which in turn leads to increased production
costs. On the other hand, the foamed ceramic in Comparative Example 1 has low
compressive strength, high bulk density, and large thermal conductivity, that is, the
performance of the foamed ceramic in Comparative Example 1 is worse than that of the
foamed ceramic in Examples 1-4.
Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 2 lowers the final foaming
temperature under the same proportioning conditions. Keeping the temperature for the
same time, the height of the foamed ceramic obtained is only 3cm, as shown in Figure 2.
The pore size of the foamed ceramic is obviously uneven, and there is a phenomenon that
the bottom is not completely foamed. It can be seen from Table 1 that the performance of
the foamed ceramic in Comparative Example 2 is worse than that in Example 2.
Compared with Example 2, Comparative Example 3 increases the final foaming
temperature under the same proportioning conditions, and the foaming state is different when the heat preservation time is different. The foamed ceramics did not increase significantly in the first 30 minutes but increased significantly within the time period of
-60 minutes of heat preservation. Under the condition of 1205°C, the foaming speed
was too fast, the pore size was obviously uneven, and a large number of connected pores
appeared. It can be seen from Table 1 that the foamed ceramics in Comparative Example
3 have poorer properties than Example 2. Through the above analysis, it can be found that
the control of foaming temperature and time plays a very important role in the
performance of foamed ceramics.
Comparative Examples 1 and 6 are to verify the effect of bentonite content on foamed
ceramics. Compared with Example 2, the blending amount of bentonite in Comparative
Example 1 is 0, and that in Comparative Example 6 is higher. It can be seen from Table 1
that the blending of bentonite too low or too high will cause the performance of foamed
ceramics to deteriorate. It should be noted that bentonite can absorb water and has a good
cohesive force to fully fuse the raw materials. As the temperature increases, the structure
of montmorillonite in bentonite will change, followed by a gradual decrease in the
bonding force of bentonite. As the temperature continues to increase to 600-700°C, the
structure of montmorillonite in the bentonite is completely destroyed; in this case, the
bentonite will no longer have cohesive force. The mixing amount of bentonite should not
be too high, otherwise the slurry viscosity is too high, which is not conducive to operation.
Since montmorillonite has a two-octahedral layered structure, after adding water for wet
grinding into the over-high bentonite mixture, part of the water will be absorbed by the
bentonite and become the bound water of its structural unit, causing the slurry to flow sex decline. The grinding time becomes longer, and the required grinding effect cannot be achieved, which also has a certain influence on the performance of foamed ceramic products. The blending amount of bentonite in Comparative Example 6 is too high. After fully absorbing water, the bentonite will produce a plasticizing reaction, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the foamed ceramic. Although bentonite contains a small amount of SiO2 and A1203, these two active ingredients account for a relatively low proportion, and their contribution to the strength of foamed ceramics is relatively small, and cannot change the adverse effects of the plasticizing effect of bentonite after water absorption.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present
invention, and the descriptions are more specific and detailed, but they should not be
