The invention discloses a method for preparing lyophobic
silicon dioxide for VOC (
Volatile Organic Compound) adsorption. The method comprises the following steps: (1) mixing
nitric acid, deionized water and absolute ethyl
alcohol in a container so as to obtain a mixed liquid; (2) mixing a
silicon dioxide source, the absolute ethyl
alcohol and the deionized water so as to obtain another mixed liquid, adding a composite
coupling agent, and uniformly stirring; (3) pouring the solution obtained in the step (2) into the mixed liquid obtained in the step (1), keeping the pH value of the solution within 2-6, and stirring for several hours; (4) sealing the container, and aging for 2 hours; (5) performing suction
filtration on gel which is subjected to
surface modification and is interchanged with a
solvent, washing, and leaving to stand at normal temperature; and (6)
drying the washed gel, and performing
airflow superfine crushing, thereby obtaining a finished product. By adopting the method for preparing the lyophobic
silicon dioxide for VOC adsorption, the lyophobic
silicon dioxide is capable of adsorbing different types of VOC molecules, and not only is the environment protected, but also the cost is low.
