Abstract

δ layered sodium disilicate (δ-Na2Si2O5) is a single layer silicate and has good properties as detergent builder. However, it is difficult to synthesize high pure δ-Na2Si2O5. In this paper, a feasible and simple technology was found by decreasing Na content in liquid sodium silicate (water glass). The crystalline time was short and no seed needed. The suitable synthesis conditions were Si/Na = 1.05–1.10, calcining at 720 °C for 5 minutes. The synthesis conditions are of industrial value. XRD and 29Si NMR data proved that synthesized samples were δ-Na2Si2O5 without impure phase. High pure δ-Na2Si2O5 exhibited good ions binding ability and reached 312 to 338 mg CaCO3/g.

Kurzfassung

δ-Schicht-Natriumdisilikat (δ-Na2Si2O5) ist ein Einschichtsilikat und besitzt gute Eigenschaften als Builder für Waschmittel. Allerdings ist es schwierig hochreines δ-Na2Si2O5 zu synthetisieren. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine praktikable und einfache Methode durch Abnahme des Na-Gehaltes in flüssigem Natriumsilkat (Wasserglas) gefunden. Die Kristallisationszeit war kurz und ein Kristallisationskeim war nicht erforderlich. Die geeignetesten Synthesebedingungen waren: Si/Na = 1.05–1.10, Kalzinierung bei 720 °C für 5 Minuten. Die Synthesebedingungen sind von industriellem Wert. Die XRD- und 29Si NMR-Daten belegen, dass es sich bei den synthetisierten Proben um δ-Na2Si2O5 ohne unreine Phase handelt. Hochreines δ-Na2Si2O5 zeigte ein gutes Ionenbindungsvermögen und erreichte 312 bis 338 mg CaCO3/g.
