Effect of Sodium Silicate Modulus on Structure and Surface Modification Mechanism of SiO2 Aerogel

Abstract

Abstract: Five different concentrations of sodium silicate solutions were prepared from fly ash. The sodium silicate solutions were treated by sol-gel method, and hydrophobic SiO₂ aerogel was obtained via ambient pressure drying. The influence of sodium silicate modulus on the structure of aerogels was investigated through measurements of density, specific surface area and contact angle. The chemical reaction mechanism of nucleophilic substitution S_N1 for hydrophobic modification of aerogel surface was proposed. The results show that the hydrophobic performance of aerogel is directly related to the number of —Si—(CH₃)₃ attached to the surface. When sodium silicate modulus is equal to 2.50, the best hydrophobic performance of aerogel is achieved. The density and specific surface area of aerogel increase with the increase of sodium silicate modulus. When the sodium silicate modulus is equal to 0.75, the lowest density and specific surface area of aerogel are recorded, which are 0.073 9 g/cm³ and 588.5 m²/g, respectively.

Key words: aerogel, sodium silicate, sol-gel, fly ash, modulus, hydrophobicity
