Description

Ceramic honeycomb filter and manufacture method thereof
The application is that to be called " ceramic honeycomb filter ", application number be dividing an application of 02154555.3 application for a patent for invention for name that Hitachi Metal Co., Ltd. and Hino Motor Ltd. submitted on September 13rd, 2002.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of particles contained ceramic honeycomb filter of filtering diesel exhaust that is used for.
Background technique
For the particulate that the filtering diesel emission goes out, studying the ceramic honeycomb filter that a kind of use has porous matter next door, make the waste gas that contains particulate by its next door filtering.This filter is commonly referred to as particulate collecting filter (diesel particulate filter).Fig. 2 (a) is that Fig. 2 (b) is this cut-away section side view as the plan view of particulate collecting filter with ceramic honeycomb filter 11, and Fig. 3 is the mode sectional drawing of ceramic honeycomb filter 11 shown in Figure 2.As shown in Figures 2 and 3, be ceramic honeycomb filter 11 cylindraceous approximately and have outer wall 11a and be contained in the porous matter next door 11b of outer wall 11a inboard, end, inflow side 11d and the 11e place, end, outflow side of the runner 11c that surrounds at the porous matter next door 11b of outer wall 11a and porous matter next door 11b or adjacency are alternately sealed by sealing material 12a, 12b.The outer wall 11a of ceramic honeycomb filter 11 is contained in the metal shell 14 under the state fixing by fixed block 13a, 13b.
The waste gas that contains particulate enters runner 11c (being represented by 10a) from open end, the inflow side 11d of ceramic honeycomb filter 11, passes porous matter next door 11b, through the runner 11c of adjacency, discharges (being represented by 10b) from open end, outflow side 11e again.In this process, contained particulate is collected in the pore place of porous matter next door 11b in the waste gas.In a single day the particulate that is collected excessive accumulating occur in ceramic honeycomb filter 11, then can cause the pressure drop of filter 11 to be risen, and engine output descends.Therefore, the particulate that generally adopts external-burning devices such as external electrical heaters or burner regularly to burn and collect makes ceramic honeycomb filter 11 carry out Regeneration Treatment.When this ceramic honeycomb filter 11 is used as the particulate collecting filter, usually adopt dual mode: (a) use a pair of ceramic honeycomb filter, use another filter to replace regenerated way during therein filter regeneration, and (b) when collecting particulate, make particle burning in the cyclic regeneration mode of regeneration filter etc. by catalyst action.
For this particulate collecting filter, the collecting efficiency of pressure drop and particulate and may acquisition time (begin acquire a certain degree time) from particulate collecting to pressure drop the most important.Collecting efficiency and pressure drop are reciprocal relationship, and collecting efficiency high pressure drop more is big more, and collecting efficiency can decrease when pressure drop reduces.For satisfying this characteristic that the filter of reciprocal relationship is arranged, the porous matter next door porosity and average pore size how to control ceramic honeycomb filter were being studied in the past.And to how satisfying the particulate that to collect with the efficient combustion ceramic honeycomb filter, and can not study because of the necessary condition of the thermal stress damage that produces in the combustion process etc.
Based on this present situation, the special pore that discloses a kind of next door for fair 3-10365 number by the aperture be that the aperture of 5-40 μ m and macropore that the aperture is 40-100 μ m are formed, little hole count is big hole count 5-40 times exhaust emission control filter, and it is a kind of high collection rate that keeps in the early stage, the lower exhaust emission control filter of pressure drop simultaneously.Pore average pore size on this filter next door is greater than 15 μ m, and the accumulation pore volume is preferably in 0.3-0.7cm 3In/g the scope.Though special fair 3-10365 patent is not put down in writing the porosity P (volume %) in next door, if the density p of employed steinheilite is 2.5g/cm among the embodiment 3, then can be according to accumulation pore volume V (cm 3/ the formula of g) deriving calculates the porosity P in next door.
Described formula is as follows:
P(%)=100Vρ/(1+Vρ)
By above formula, the optimum range (0.3-0.7cm of the accumulation pore volume of pore will be had on the next door 3/ g) be converted into the porosity of 42.8-63.6 volume %.
Disclose by the control porosity and average pore size for special public clear 61-54750 number, can finish design from high collection rate to low collection rate type filter.As the public clear 61-54750 of spy number best instantiation, Fig. 8 has provided the porosity and the average pore size that connects in 1,5, the 6 and 4 each point zones.The porosity and the average pore size of each point are as follows.
The point The porosity (capacity %) Average pore size (μ m)
1 58.5 1
5 39.5 15
6 62.0 15
4 90.0 1
Te Kaiping 9-77573 number a kind of honeycomb molded body is disclosed, it has the average pore size of the porosity and the 25-40 μ m of 55-80%, the pore in next door is that the aperture of 5-40 μ m and macropore that the aperture is 40-100 μ m are formed by the aperture, little hole number is 5-40 a times of big hole number, and this honeycomb molded body has high collection rate, low pressure loss and low-thermal-expansion rate.
Yet, though the optimization in the porosity, average pore size and aperture, next door by ceramic honeycomb structure, the pressure drop that to a certain extent can the balance filtration device and the collecting efficiency of particulate, but in case add all apertures of macro porosity peace, the intensity in filter porous matter next door must reduce.This mainly is because the intensity in porous matter next door and its porosity and average pore size are reciprocal relationship.Particularly in order to obtain the filter of low pressure loss, when the porosity more than 60% or average pore size when 15 μ m are above, the intensity in its porous matter next door can significantly reduce.Therefore, be difficult to obtain the strong ceramic honeycomb filter of durability, this filter has low pressure loss and high collection rate, and the mechanical stress of the fastening and vibration generation when it can be because of the thermal stress that produces during with filter as the collection particulate of diesel engine and thermal shock and by assembling etc. is damaged.
When making the regeneration of honeycomb filter in the past after collecting particulate, as shown in Figure 3, because waste gas passes the runner of next-door neighbour's outer wall 11a, the ignition heat that therefore is collected particulate can be dispersed to metal shell through outer wall 11a and fixed component 13a, 13b.Therefore,, thereby cause breaking, and because of external temperature is difficult to rise, so problems such as particle burning is not thorough can occur because of filter appears in the thermal stress effect because the central part of filter 11 is excessive with outside temperature gradient.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in existing ceramic honeycomb filter, because the exterior edge face of the sealing material of waste gas inflow side is the plane, so particulate can be deposited in the exterior edge face of inflow side sealing material.And because the cohesive force of particulate is very strong, so the accumulation body of particulate can increase gradually.If it is big that the accumulation body of particulate becomes, then cause the inflow side runner to diminish, the pressure drop of filter is risen.Finally the particulate collecting time can be shortened, loaded down with trivial details filter regeneration must be carried out.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of have superior mechanical strength and durability, the while can prolong the particulate collecting time and reduce the ceramic honeycomb filter of pressure drop.
In view of described purpose, the inventor waits by rationally limiting the pore size distribution range in the porous matter next door of ceramic honeycomb structure after deliberation, and improvement encapsulating method, found that pressure drop is low, collection rate is high and the high optimization regeneration efficiency of intensity, thereby obtained to collect for a long time the ceramic honeycomb filter of particulate.

Embodiment
Among the present invention, by following formula (1) about the accumulation pore volume curve (with the transverse axis is the aperture, is the curve of the graphical representation of accumulation pore volume with the longitudinal axis) in the next door of honeycomb molded body:
Sn=-(Vn-V n-1)/[logDn-log(D n-1)] (1)
(in the formula: Dn is the fine pore (μ m) of n measuring point,
D N-1Be the fine pore (μ m) of (n-1) individual measuring point,
Vn is the accumulation pore volume (cm of n measuring point 3/ g),
V N-1Be the accumulation pore volume (cm of (n-1) individual measuring point 3/ g),
Sn is the gradient of the accumulation pore volume distribution curve of n the relative fine pore of measuring point.) expression the Sn maximum value greater than 0.7.Its reason is as follows,
The intensity of ceramic honeycomb structure not only depends on the porosity and average pore size, also depends on pore-size distribution.Even particularly because the pore-size distribution rapid change (by improving the uniformity of pore size), the porosity more than 60% and average pore size more than 15 μ m, still can obtain high-intensity ceramic honeycomb structure.
The gradient Sn of the porosity of ceramic honeycomb structure, average pore size and accumulation pore volume distribution curve adopts Micromeritics system autopour (オ-ト Port ア) III9410, is measured by mercury penetration method.When adopting mercury penetration method, in the mensuration groove of earlier sample being packed into, after the decompression, importing mercury and pressurization are tried to achieve fine pore and the relation of accumulating pore volume from pressure and the mercury volume that is pressed into the sample pore in groove.If pressure strengthens, mercury then can immerse in the finer pore, measures the volume of the fine pore suitable with pressurization.Therefore, can draw determination data by order from hole, big thin footpath to little fine pore.
From the fine pore Dn-1 that measures (n-1) the individual measuring point that begins and fine pore Dn that accumulates pore volume Vn-1 and (n) individual measuring point and accumulation pore volume Vn, utilize following formula (1) to try to achieve the gradient Sn of n measuring point.At Fig. 4 is a middle example having represented the measurement result of Sn.In Fig. 4, some a is the fine pore D by the 1st and the 2nd measuring point 1, D 2With accumulation pore volume V 1, V 2The gradient S1[(V that tries to achieve 1-V 2)/(logD 1-logD 2)], some b is the fine pore D by the 2nd and the 3rd measuring point 2, D 3With accumulation pore volume V 2, V 3The gradient S2[(V that tries to achieve 2-V 3)/(logD 2-logD 3)].The distribution of the gradient Sn of accumulation pore volume distribution curve as shown in Figure 4 as can be known, if the maximum value less than 0.7 of Sn, then pore size distribution range is wider, if the maximum value of Sn greater than 0.7, then pore size distribution range is very narrow.
If pore size distribution range is wider, thick pore increases can cause the intensity reduction, and in addition, particulate stops up pore becomes the increasing proportion that pressure drop increases the fine pore of reason.Therefore, be difficult to make low pressure loss and high strength simultaneously and deposit.To this,,,, make low pressure loss and the high strength while and deposit so can reduce the ratio of thick pore and fine pore because pore-size distribution is very narrow and small if the maximum value of Sn is greater than 0.7.This point can be learnt from Fig. 5 of relation of intensity relative value is contracted in the maximum value of the gradient Sn of expression accumulation pore volume distribution curve and A axial compression.As shown in Figure 5, when the maximum value of Sn greater than 0.7 the time, the A axial compression intensity level that contracts is more than 1.5 times of existing product intensity level (as the maximum value of Sn 0.6 when following).That is, when the maximum value of Sn as can be known greater than 0.7 the time, the mechanical strength of ceramic honeycomb structure significantly improves.For obtaining low pressure loss and high strength simultaneously, the maximum value of Sn is more preferably greater than 0.9.
The porosity of ceramic honeycomb structure is in the 60-75%.The porosity is lower than at 60% o'clock, and the pressure drop meeting of filter is too high, surpasses at 75% o'clock, and not only the intensity of filter can reduce, and the collecting efficiency of particulate also will decrease simultaneously.The pressure drop of filter was lower when the porosity 65% was above.In addition, when the porosity 70% when following, can further reduce the intensity and the particulate collecting efficient of filter.Therefore, the optimum range of the porosity should be 60-75%.
The pore average pore size that exists at ceramic honeycomb structure is 15-25 μ m.During average pore size less than 15 μ m, it is too high that filter can pressure drop occur, and when surpassing 25 μ m, not only the intensity of filter can reduce, simultaneously owing to collect less than atomic little particle, so particulate collecting efficient also reduces.For obtaining this reciprocal property of low pressure loss and high strength simultaneously, the optimum range of average pore size should be 18-22 μ m.
The main chemical of porous ceramic that constitutes ceramic honeycomb structure is in fact by the SiO of 42-56 quality % 2, 30-45 quality % Al 2O 3And the compositions such as MgO of 12-16 quality %, the Main Ingredients and Appearance of crystallised phase preferably adopts steinheilite.Ceramic honeycomb filter of the present invention utilizes the owned low thermal expansion characteristics of steinheilite, also is difficult to produce and breaks even apply thermal shock.But the present invention is not limited to use steinheilite, also can use other to have stable on heating pottery, as materials such as mullite, alumina, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, aluminium nitride, lithium alumina silicate, aluminium titanates, zirconium oxides.
When filter regeneration, be the efficient combustion particulate, (a) length that begins from sealing material filter end face with near the two ends of the runner sealing material sealing filter outer wall, (b) is less than 8.2% of filter total length, and the length setting that (c) makes sealed at both ends runner is advisable in the radial direction length range of maximum 5x next door spacing from the outer wall to the center.Its reason is, because waste gas can not flow into sealed at both ends runner, therefore can make the runner of sealing play the effect of heat insulation air layer, suppress from of the thermal radiation of filter outer wall to metal shell, thus can the collected particulate of efficient burning.In addition,, can suppress the pressure drop of filter to greatest extent, prevent that engine performance from descending by sealed at both ends runner is set.
The length that begins by filter end face from sealing runner sealed at both ends material the filter total length 8.2% in, can suppress the ignition heat of particulate with the degree that can ignore by sealing material dispersing to metal shell.The length that begins from the filter end face when sealing material surpass the filter total length 8.2% the time, can not ignore particle burning heat to the dispersing of metal shell, the particle burning of collection is not thorough, will cause the reduction of filter regeneration rate.
Because the flow channel length of two end part sealings is set in from the outer wall to the center in the radial direction length range of maximum 5x next door spacing, so can be to greatest extent the pressure drop of filter be suppressed at minimum degree.If but the flow channel length of two end part sealing surpasses the radial direction length range of maximum 5x next door spacing from the outer wall to the center, will reduce the ratio in the next door with filter function relatively, thereby cause the pressure drop of filter to be risen.
The length that begins near the filter end face of the runner two end part sealing material the sealing filter outer wall is preferably less than 3.3% of filter length overall.Thus, near the runner the filter outer wall plays the effect of heat insulation air layer can be bigger, and the heat that diffuses to metal shell from the filter outer wall can further reduce, the collected particulate that can burn more efficiently, and the regeneration rate of filter will further improve.
Near the flow channel length sealed at both ends outer wall is controlled at from the outer wall to the center in the radial direction length range of maximum 3x next door spacing, can further reduces the pressure drop of filter thus.As a result, can reduce the back pressure of motor, thereby further improve the performance of motor.
Ceramic honeycomb structure of the present invention can be by following technology manufacturing.At first, in ceramic material powder, add the pore-creating material of the porosity in the 60-75% scope behind the sintering, the Mean particle diameter of described pore-creating material more than 20 μ m, particularly in the 40-80 mu m range and particle diameter 20-100 μ m account for more than 50%.As required, shaping aids such as Bond, oiling agent are blended in this mixture, add water and make the quantitative mixture of plasticization.With described quantitative mixture extrusion molding, form the formed body of honeycombed structure, after the oven dry, the pore-creating material is removed in burning.Secondly, sintered moulded body is to obtain to have in the next door the intrinsic fine pore of pottery and by removing the ceramic honeycomb structure of the pore that the pore-creating material forms.Like this, ceramic products by original fine pore with (Mean particle diameter is more than 20 μ m, and particle diameter 20-100 μ m accounts for more than 50% by making the consistent pore-creating material of particle diameter.) combination of formed pore, the average fine pore in next door can be controlled in the 15-25 mu m range, simultaneously, the maximum value of the Sn of expression pore-size distribution inclined degree can be controlled at more than 0.7.Particularly for cordierite ceramic owing to itself just have the fine pore of 1-20 μ m, so with Mean particle diameter be more than the 20 μ m and the pore-creating material that accounts for more than 50% of particle diameter 20-100 μ m combined, its effect is best.
The pore-creating material is graphite, wheat flour, toner etc., preferably carry out classification with form Mean particle diameter more than 20 μ m, particle diameter 20-100 μ m accounts for the size distribution more than 50%.In addition, when using toner, create conditions by adjusting it, preferably also reach Mean particle diameter more than 20 μ m, particle diameter 20-100 μ m accounts for the size distribution more than 50%.
If because the pore-creating material is spherical for being similar to, then formed pore also will be circular in the next door, so can reduce the stress of pore is concentrated, and produced honeycomb molded body with superior mechanical intensity.In addition, if the pore-creating material is a hollow body, then is easy to burning and removes the pore-creating material.Therefore, when the pore-creating material is removed in burning, the problem that the next door can not occur chapping, and can improve the rate that manufactures a finished product.
This paper will introduce the present invention in detail by following specific embodiment, but the present invention should not be limited to this.
