    摘要: Provided are a method of preparing a metal oxide-silica composite aerogel, and a metal oxide-silica composite aerogel having an excellent weight reduction property prepared by the method. The method includes a step of adding an acid catalyst to a first water glass solution to prepare an acidic water glass solution (step 1); a step of adding a metal ion solution to the acidic water glass solution to prepare a precursor solution (step 2); and a step of adding a second water glass solution to the precursor solution and performing a gelation reaction (step 3) to yield a metal oxide-silica composite wet gel, wherein, in steps 2 and 3, bubbling of an inert gas is performed during the adding of the metal ion solution or the second water glass solution, respectively.

    摘要: Provided is a method for producing a silica aerogel blanket, the method comprising recovering and reusing a supercritical waste liquid generated after a supercritical drying process. Without putting in additional equipment investments or energy, supercritical waste liquid recovered after a supercritical drying process can be reused by lowering the content of ammonium ions (NH4+) present therein through a simple adjustment of the conditions for the supercritical drying process. Thus, it is possible to produce a silica aerogel blanket while reducing the production costs thereof and preventing the deterioration of thermal insulation performance of the silica aerogel blanket.

    摘要: Provided is a method for producing a silica aerogel blanket and an apparatus for producing the same, which are capable of easily controlling the physical properties of a silica aerogel blanket by separately injecting silica sol and a gelation catalyst to control gelation time, improving aerogel pore structure to be uniform and improving thermal insulation performance by sufficiently and uniformly impregnating the silica sol and the gelation catalyst into a blanket, reducing the loss of silica sol and gelation catalyst by allowing the silica sol and the gelation catalyst to pass on an ascending slope before gelation to remove any excessive silica sol and gelation catalyst exceeding an appropriate impregnation amount, and providing a silica aerogel blanket having less process trouble, and less dust.
