[0003] For example, a bulk antibacterial glass in which silver ions are introduced into a glass composition is known (JP-A-7-481).
No. 42, No. 7-300399). However, such a bulk antibacterial glass has a drawback that it uses a large amount of silver ions and is expensive. That is, the glass only needs to have antibacterial properties only on its surface layer, and it is not necessary to impart antibacterial properties by silver ions to the inside,
In the bulk antibacterial glass, silver ions are introduced into the whole, so that the amount of waste silver ions is large and uneconomical.

As described above, if silver ions are diffused only to the surface of glass, it is expected that the required amount of silver ions can be reduced as compared with bulk antibacterial glass. However, all of the above-mentioned conventional methods have the following drawbacks and cannot be said to be methods that can be sufficiently satisfied industrially and economically.

That is, in the method (1), a large amount of silver ions are wasted in the silver evaporation atmosphere, which is also uneconomical. In addition, the method requires an industrial process for washing the glass before immersion in the molten salt and immersing the glass in the molten salt, so that initial investment and running costs are high, and alkali in the glass is also required. Treatment at a relatively high temperature in order to exchange ions with silver ions (generally 3
00 ° C. or higher). Performing high-temperature treatment in this way is disadvantageous in terms of heating cost and heat-resistant equipment cost.In addition, when high-temperature treatment is performed, the diffusion length of silver ions to the glass surface becomes longer, and silver becomes colloidal. As a result, the glass may be colored yellow, and there is a disadvantage that high quality glass cannot be obtained. In the case of the method described above, heat treatment at a relatively low temperature (200 ° C. or higher) is sufficient.
Since a heating operation is required after coating, a heat source for this is necessary, which is disadvantageous in terms of heating cost and equipment cost.

The temperature of the glass when the liquid or powder containing silver is brought into contact is generally required to be 100 ° C. or higher in order to fix silver ions on the glass surface. Below the strain point of the glass (approximately 500
C). From the viewpoint of cutting and imparting antibacterial properties, it is particularly desirable that the glass temperature is 150 to 350 ° C. If this temperature exceeds 350 ° C., the diffusion distance of silver ions into the glass becomes long, and the amount of waste silver ions increases. Further, the possibility of deformation and the like in the glass manufacturing process increases, which affects cutting and the like. Further, glass cooling cracks and the like due to thermal shock occur, which is industrially disadvantageous. Conversely, when the temperature is lower than 150 ° C., silver ions are partially or heterogeneously immobilized on the glass surface. Alternatively, the diffusion distance is short, the antibacterial performance becomes heterogeneous, and a problem occurs in the durability of the antibacterial property.

Examples 3 and 4 The same procedure as in Examples 1 and 2 was carried out except that the aqueous dispersion of silver colloid was sprayed by setting a spray nozzle at a position where the temperature of the soda-lime glass was 150 ° C. Antibacterial glass was manufactured. Also in this example, antibacterial glass could be obtained instantaneously. Further, as a result of wiping off the yellow silver particles adhering to the glass surface, the glass was transparent as in the case of ordinary glass, and coloring by spraying was not recognized.

As described above in detail, according to the method for producing an antibacterial glass of the present invention, only the liquid or powder containing silver is brought into contact with the heated glass, and the instantaneous operation is performed at a relatively low temperature with a simple operation. Glass can be made antibacterial. It can be incorporated into a glass production line for antimicrobial treatment, and requires no special equipment or operation. Only the silver ions are diffused to a depth on the order of submicron to micron near the surface of the glass, and the amount of wasted silver ions is small. Thus, the antibacterial glass can be easily and efficiently manufactured at low cost.
