Technical Field

The invention relates to a preparation method of porous ceramic, in particular to a green preparation method of light high-strength cordierite porous ceramic and a filter.

Background

The cordierite porous ceramic has excellent performances of low thermal expansion coefficient, good thermal stability, high permeability and the like, so that the cordierite porous ceramic has wide application prospects in the aspects of molten metal filtration, high-temperature smoke filtration, automobile exhaust filtration, particle complementary collection and the like. However, it is difficult to achieve both high strength and high porosity by conventional production techniques, and it is difficult to produce a product having a complicated shape by sintering shrinkage. Although the newly developed foam-gel-casting method can solve the above problems, the gel system generally used is an acrylamide system, the polymerization of which requires the addition of a crosslinking agent (N, N-methylene-bisacrylamide) and an initiator (ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, etc.), and the addition of a certain amount of a catalyst (e.g., tetramethylethylenediamine) for the room-temperature polymerization. Wherein, the acrylamide has certain neurotoxicity, reproductive development toxicity and carcinogenicity; the initiators of ammonium persulfate and potassium persulfate both have strong oxidizability, combustion-supporting property and certain toxicity; tetramethylethylenediamine is also a strong oxidizing agent, which is harmful to the environment, especially to the water body. Therefore, the acrylamide system needs a plurality of types of additives and has a large addition amount, which is very unfavorable for environmental protection. In addition, in the porous ceramic preparation process, the blank body often has great drying shrinkage in the drying and sintering processes, which brings difficulty to manufacture products with complex shapes, and needs to design and prepare large dies or follow-up processing in consideration of shrinkage, which increases the manufacturing cost. In addition, large shrinkage often causes microcracks in the material or directly cracks the product, which affects the product yield and brings high manufacturing cost. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a green preparation technology of porous ceramics which combines high performance, environmental protection, high yield and is suitable for products with complex shapes.

It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the invention, are within the scope of the invention.

First, a green production method of a lightweight high-strength cordierite porous ceramic according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

The green preparation method of the light-weight high-strength cordierite porous ceramic material according to the embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises the following steps:

The method for producing a lightweight, high-strength cordierite porous ceramic material according to the present invention will be described with reference to specific examples.

In the following examples, the green production method of an environmentally friendly gel, which is exemplified by a combination of a gelatin gel system and a freeze-drying technique, is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any other polysaccharide type gel known to those skilled in the art may be used. In the following examples, sodium lauryl sulfate was used as a foaming agent, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can perform foaming treatment using any other foaming agent. Such modifications are to be understood as falling within the scope of the present invention.
