OptimalParameters of Response Surface Methodology for Preparation of Magnesium Hydroxide Flame Retardant

TQ132.2; The yield of magnesium hydroxide was investigated via response surface methodology using bischofite and aqueous ammonia as raw materials.The experimental results indicated that the effects of reaction temperature,magnesium ion and aqueous ammonia concentrations on the yield of magnesium hydroxide gradually decreased.In particular,reaction temperature and magnesium ion concentration had a significant influence on the yield.After the regression and fitting of the response value and each factor,the regression equation was obtained.As proven by experiments,the predicted value and actual value showed a good fit.The products of the center experiment were characterized by particle size analysis,scanning electron microscopy,and X-ray diffraction.The results show that the morphology is irregular and shows a lamellar structure.The particles have a narrow size distribution ranging from 0.64 to 0.68 μm of D50 size.The difference in particle size of D10and D90 is less than 0.91 μm,and the purity very high.
