The preparation method of uniform compound monodispersed nm-class spherical TiO 2 particles
The invention belongs to the preparation and the applied technical field of the inorganic smooth function nano material of semi-conductor, particularly relate to the preparation method of uniform compound monodispersed nm titanium dioxide granule.
TiO
2The popular name titanium dioxide is a kind of more high function fine inorganic material of studying, and is important pottery, semi-conductor and catalytic material, and nano-TiO
2Have more particular performances such as good weathering resistance, chemical resistance, higher chemical stability, thermostability, nontoxicity, photosensitivity, high dispersive and non-migrating and be widely used in fields such as high grade paint, transmitter, dielectric materials, plastics, printing ink, papermaking, chemical fibre and rubber, for example:
(1) nano-TiO
2Have very important optical property---color reaction, and make its extremely the automobile finish expert favor and become the most high-grade effect pigment in the present age.The auto maker that Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Mazda etc. are famous uses and contains nano-TiO
2Metal car finish paint, this finish paint is coated in the artistic effect that can reach a kind of very graceful fineness on the automobile, and world car industry car over half is all used the application of metal finish paint, to containing nano-TiO
2Metal flash paint require very big.
(2) because nano-TiO
2Characteristics such as existing visible light penetrativity is strong, and is transparent and nontoxic have excellent ultraviolet shielded effect and peculiar colour effect again, available its preparation sunscreen skincare product, and be added in the food product packing film, can make the food matter that remains unchanged for a long period of time, than organic additive obvious superiority is arranged.
(3) nano-TiO
2The specific surface atomicity sharply increases, and the reactive behavior height is so can be used as light-sensitive catalyst, sorbent material.
(4) nano-TiO
2Fusing point is than general T iO
2Low, and uniform particles, can reach tight filling, so can be as good fine ceramics sintering aid.
In addition, nano-TiO
2Can be as the additive of the strengthening agent of the tinting material of the nucleus agent of special glass, resin printing ink, silicon rubber, solid lubricant, matting agent, catalyzer etc.Nano-TiO
2Specific function and purposes and more than these, still among research and development constantly.
Existing in the world at present company more than 10 is at development and production superfine Ti O
2, and Japanese firm is in the majority, its production method mainly is a chlorination process.Chlorination process is with TiCl
4Make superfine Ti O with the oxygen reaction
2But chlorination process needs the raw material of high-grade, and its price just becomes the factor of restriction development.And China is in the early stage of development of titanium dioxide, and production and technology do not break away from the primary stage as yet, do not form scale operation.At present the China's titanium white powder mainly adopts sulfuric acid process, and the kind of product is few, and retaining is time low, and whiteness is bad, mixed crystal, and tinting strength is bad, and granularity is poor, and the production cost height can't satisfy the needs of domestic market and needs to rely on import.The report of this respect is referring to the article " technological transformation of opinion China sulfate process titanium dioxide factory " of 1997 the 6th phases " coatings industry " magazine 19-20 page or leaf.
TiO
2Particle is during as the pigment of excellence and some special purposes, the just particulate outside surface that reality can be utilized and play a role, the kernel of particle then not performance effect should be arranged, the therefore TiO that exists with interior kernel form
2The cost height is actually a kind of huge waste of resource.People actively seek the way that addresses this problem for many years, so the production technology of bag nuclear titanium dioxide pigment occurred.The kernel of existing bag nuclear titanium white is generally used lime carbonate, kaolin, mica etc.Its production method is physics method and chemical method and chemical physics synthetic method.Yet these methods all exist coating not exclusively, and the excessive use meeting of coating is to TiO
2Performance produce negative shortcomings such as influence, and the quality of inner nuclear material and the uneven problem of size-grade distribution that coats titanium white be the key issue of producing bag nuclear titanium white always, and the report of this respect is referring to the article " know-why and developing direction that bag nuclear titanium dioxide pigment is produced " of 1997 the 9th phases " coatings industry " magazine 1-3 page or leaf.
In addition, prepare TiO with the metal alkoxide hydrolysis method
2Energy consumption is low, the product purity height, but particle diameter is difficult to control, and repeatability is difficult to grasp, and is easy to reunite, and is difficult for making the controlled TiO that singly is uniformly dispersed of particle diameter simultaneously
2Particle.This respect content is referring to " Journal of Inorganic Materials " nineteen ninety-five the 10th volume, and " alkoxide hydrolysis prepares TiO to the article of the 4th phase
2Nano-powder ".
The objective of the invention is to overcome the shortcoming of above the whole bag of tricks, a kind of method for preparing purity height, single dispersion, narrow diameter distribution, uniform particles, composite nano titanium dioxide spheroidal particle that the particle diameter controlled range is big is provided.Adopt method of the present invention can prepare singly the be uniformly dispersed nm-class spherical TiO 2 particles of particle diameter at 55~1400nm.
The objective of the invention is to be achieved through the following technical solutions:
Prepare composite Nano TiO with the metal alkoxide hydrolysis method
2Even monodisperse sphere type particle, this particle are at single 50~1300 nanometer spherical SiO of dispersion as kernel
2Coat last layer desired thickness (5~200nm) TiO on the particle
