What is the principle of silicone treatment agent

The principle of silica gel treatment agent is mainly based on the adsorption performance and chemical reactivity of silica gel material, as well as its characteristic of forming a polar film on the surface of silica gel. The following is a detailed explanation of the principle of silica gel treatment agent:

Adsorption performance:
Silica gel treatment agent is an inorganic polymer compound, mainly composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), with a large number of hydrophilic hydrogen bonds and cavity structures.

Silica gel treatment agent has a high surface area and porosity, and can adsorb and store a large number of water molecules, organic matter and other impurity molecules.

Through the surface activity and polarity of the adsorbed substance, the silica gel treatment agent can adsorb molecules on the surface of silica gel, especially for organic pollutants and other impurity molecules in the solution.

Chemical reactivity:

The surface of the silica gel treatment agent contains a certain number of hydrogen ions (H+), which can react with alkaline substances (such as OH- ions) in the solution to form water molecules and release heat.

Silica gel treatment agent can also react with oxygen (O2) to generate a certain amount of heat.

Formation of polar film on the surface of silica gel:

Silicone treatment agent can form a polar film on the surface of silica gel, which is formed by chemical bonding force.

Silicone itself is a non-polar material with low surface energy and poor wettability, resulting in insufficient adhesion.

The polar film formed by the silicone treatment agent can improve the wettability and adhesion of silica gel.

To summarize the principle of silicone treatment agent:

Silicone treatment agent adsorbs and stores organic matter and other impurity molecules in water through its high surface area and porosity.

Silicone treatment agent can further treat pollutants in water through acid-base neutralization reaction of hydrogen ions on its surface with alkaline substances and oxidation reaction with oxygen.

Silicone treatment agent forms a polar film on the surface of silica gel, improving the wettability and adhesion of silica gel, thereby enhancing its bonding performance with other substances.

These principles make silicone treatment agent widely used in water treatment, surface treatment of silicone rubber materials and other fields.
