Research on Mechanochemical of Silica and its Composite Powders

Abstract:

Silca and its composite powders added different amount of microsilica were ground in a planetary ball mill (QM-3SP4) at various grinding period with addition of a certain number of grinding aid. The effects of mechano-chemical on particle size, crystal size and lattice deformation in grinding process were analyzed. The phase compositions and size compositions of the treated powders were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Laser Particle Size Analyzers. With the increase of grinding time, the particle size decrease, the specific surface area increase, and the more amount of microsilica added, the smaller particle size the powders had after grinding. The XRD results showed that the diffraction peak intensity of powders weaken and gradually widen. The surface of the particle happened to amorphization, and occurred grain refinement and lattice distortion. Comparing with other treated powders, the change of the powders with the microsilica addition of 5% was larger. Even though the grinding time reached to 30h, the crystal transformation of SiO₂ has not been detected.
