Silica is a highly efficient filler material with a fine particle size and high surface area that enhances material strength, improves rheology and enhances optical properties. The precipitation method is a common method for preparing silica. By controlling the reaction conditions and precipitation conditions, silica products with different properties can be obtained. This article will explore the preparation process, advantages and potential of precipitation silica in different application fields.


Preparation process of precipitation silica
The preparation process of precipitation silica mainly includes the following steps: raw material preparation, pretreatment, reaction and precipitation, filtration and drying. During the raw material preparation stage, selecting appropriate raw materials, additives and solvents is key. Pretreatment steps usually include operations such as stirring, dispersion, and pH adjustment to ensure the uniformity and stability of the reaction. In the reaction and precipitation stages, by adding reactants and adjusting reaction conditions, silica particles are gradually formed and precipitated in the solution. Finally, the precipitated silica product is separated and obtained by filtration and drying.


Key parameters of precipitation silica
Preparing high-quality silica products requires controlling some key parameters, including reaction temperature, reaction time, solution pH, additive concentration, etc. Optimization and adjustment of these parameters can affect the size, dispersion and specific surface area of silica particles. By rationally selecting and adjusting these parameters, precise control of silica product performance can be achieved.
