Powder surface modification technology

Modificación de la superficie del polvo involves treating the powder surface using physical, químico, or mechanical methods. The goal is to alter its physical and chemical properties or impart new functions. This meets the needs of modern materials, processes, and technologies. Understanding the role of surface modification and powder properties helps improve material performance. Controlling modifier quantity, choosing the right equipment and process enhances aplicación de polvo. It can even give powders new functions or performance capabilities.

The role of modification

The role of powder surface modification varies by application. The main goal is to enhance powder performance or impart new functions. This meets the needs of new materials, technologies, and product development. Powder modification has five main functions:

  • Transform inorganic fillers from simple additives to functional fillers.
  • Provide new technologies for polymers and composite materials.
  • Improve particle dispersion and prevent aggregation.
  • Enhance the stability of powder materials and product performance.
  • Improve environmental sustainability and economic production, increasing added value.

Powder raw material properties

The properties of powder materials mainly include acidity, alkalinity, surface structure, functional groups, adsorption, and chemical reactivity. Surface modifiers should chemically react or adsorb onto the powder surface whenever possible. Physical adsorption may desorb under strong stirring or extrusion in later applications. For example, silicate minerals like quartz, feldspar, mica, and kaolin can bond with silane coupling agents. This forms a strong chemical adsorption. However, silane coupling agents generally do not react or adsorb onto carbonate-based alkaline minerals. Titanates and aluminates, under certain conditions, can adsorb onto carbonate-based alkaline minerals. Thus, silane coupling agents are unsuitable for modifying carbonate-based alkaline minerals like light and heavy carbonato de calcio.

Modifier dosage

The optimal amount of surface modifier for monolayer adsorption on particles depends on the specific surface area of the powder and the molecular cross-sectional area of the modifier. However, this amount may not correspond to 100% coverage of the surface modifier. For inorganic surface revestimiento modification, different coating rates and layer thicknesses can exhibit varied characteristics, such as color and gloss. Therefore, the actual optimal amount should be determined through modification and performance tests. This is because the amount of modifier is related to both the dispersion and uniformity of coating during surface modification. It also depends on the specific requirements of the application system for the surface properties and technical specifications of the powder.

Modification process

Once the surface modifier amount and formulation are determined, the surface modification process is one of the key factors influencing the effect. The process must meet the application requirements or conditions of the surface modifier. It should ensure good dispersion of the modifier and achieve uniform and strong coating on the powder surface. At the same time, the process should be simple, with controllable parameters, stable product quality, low energy consumption, and minimal pollution.

Máquina de recubrimiento Turbo Mill

Potente campo de flujo de vórtice, que muele y tritura instantáneamente. revestimiento

Se adoptan el rotor y el estator cónicos y se puede ajustar el espacio entre el rotor y el estator; Gracias al potente campo de flujo de vórtice, la velocidad lineal del rotor puede alcanzar los 120 m/s, lo que es especialmente adecuado para la dispersión, reducción y trituración de materiales aglomerados. El material se impacta, se corta y se frota a alta velocidad entre el rotor y el estator para completar el proceso de molienda y recubrimiento.

Este sistema de recubrimiento de superficie en polvo continuo está diseñado sobre la base del conocimiento alemán con equipos chinos y se puede utilizar para recubrir varios polvos como carbonato de calcio (GCC, PCC), caolín, talco, mica, grafito, sulfato de bario, negro de carbón blanco, magnesium hydrate, zinc oxide, aluminum oxide, and is suitable for a variety of solid/liquid coating agents, like aluminate coupling agent, titanate coupling agent, silane coupling agent and stearic acid. Coating machine consists of three units of mixing rooms. High-speed rotation creates great vortex flow inside these special-shaped rooms. Powder and coating agent are mixed in the high-speed gas-solid vortex flows.

Coating machine with both surface coating and particle dispersing functions is suitable for various powders with different fineness, and has a unique coating effect for the materials with small apparent specific gravity and high volume to weight ratio. Automatic temperature control system ensures stable high temperature for coating agent melting into liquid and mixing with uncoated powder. Heating and cooling of powder and coating agent are completed in one machine, which does not need independent cooling system. High utilization ratio of coating agent, high powder-coated rate, high activation grade, low energy consumption, and very few agglomerates in final coated product. The whole system is operated under negative pressure, no dust emission, and low labor intensity.
