Mathematical Simulation of the Physical Process to FabricateHollow Glass Microspheres by Liquid Droplet Method

  • 摘要: 通过对液滴法制备空心玻璃微球的成球过程进行分析,建立了成球过程数学模型,定量描述了液滴的形成、液滴的封装、凝胶球壳的形成与干燥,发泡剂的分解,球壳的预热与熔炼、冷却与收集等过程中,液滴/球壳的大小、速率、壁厚、气压等随操作条件的变化,计算了抽气速率、发泡剂浓度、玻璃溶液浓度和初始液滴大小等的改变对成球过程的影响,并进行了初步验证实验。

     

    Abstract: The physical process to fabricate hollow glass microspheres(HGM) by the Liquid Droplet Method in a 7-meter-high multi-zone high temperature furnace has been modeled mathematically. And the model quantitatively describes the whole process, through which the main parameters of the droplets/membrane spheres/HGM including the velocity, the sizes, the glass-forming oxide mass, the wall-thicknesses, and the inner gas pressures of vapor and air inside can be calculated. Calculation has been done under a series of operation conditions, especially at different purge gas rates, initial concentrations of the blowing agent and those of glass-forming oxides in the glass-forming solutions, and sizes of the initial droplets. The calculated results are to some degree in good agreement with the experiments
