OptimalParameters of Response Surface Methodology for Preparation of Magnesium Hydroxide Flame Retardant

The yield of magnesium hydroxide was investigated via response surface methodology using bischofite and aqueous ammonia as raw materials. The experimental results indicated that the effects of reaction temperature, magnesium ion and aqueous ammonia concentrations on the yield of magnesium hydroxide gradually decreased. In particular, reaction temperature and magnesium ion concentration had a significant influence on the yield. After the regression and fitting of the response value and each factor, the regression equation was obtained. As proven by experiments, the predicted value and actual value showed a good fit. The products of the center experiment were characterized by particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the morphology is irregular and shows a lamellar structure. The particles have a narrow size distribution ranging from 0.64 to 0.68 mm of D50 size. The difference in particle size of D10 and D90 is less than 0.91 mm, and the purity very high.     

MgAlCe水滑石的合成及其表征

采用共沉淀水热法合成了MgAlCe三元复合层状氢氧化物。详细探讨了x(Al)/x(Ce)、水热温度及pH值对合成产物物相的影响。通过XRD、TG/DTG、SEM及TEM对制备的水滑石进行分析。结果表明,当x(M2+)/x(M3+)=1.5,x(Al)/x(Ce)=16∶1,pH值=7.9条件下进行多种离子共沉淀,并经140℃、10h水热处理后,得出的产物结晶度较高,物相纯净,具有典型层状结构,并且其热稳定性较好,层间羟基硝酸根失去温度在300～500℃之间,表明其作为阻燃剂具有很大的潜力。
