Description

Carbon powder box, antibacterial carbon powder and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrostatic development, in particular to antibacterial carbon powder, a preparation method of the antibacterial carbon powder and a carbon powder box filled with the antibacterial carbon powder.
Background
Office manuscripts printed by printing and copying equipment become common information communication media and carriers in modern society, and if the manuscripts have antibacterial capacity, the office manuscripts can effectively inhibit the transmission and diffusion of bacteria and viruses in office places and protect the health of office staff; on the other hand, the method can also prevent characters from being lost and pictures from fading caused by mildew of the manuscript, and is favorable for long-term preservation of the manuscript. If the carbon powder has the antibacterial performance, the antibacterial capability can be given to the manuscript in the printing and copying links, and the manuscript does not need to be subjected to antibacterial treatment subsequently, so that the time and the labor are saved.
In recent years, domestic laser printing consumable enterprises have made a lot of tests and researches on the formula and the manufacturing process of carbon powder, and have successfully developed printing and copying equipment which can be adapted to mainstream manufacturers, and the printing effect can be comparable to the compatible carbon powder of the original carbon powder, and the compatible carbon powder has considerable research and development strength at present. Therefore, related enterprises in China have power to introduce the antibacterial performance which is not possessed by the original carbon powder into the compatible carbon powder, namely the compatible carbon powder is ensured to have excellent output effect in the printing and copying links, and meanwhile, the broad-spectrum antibacterial capability is endowed to the manuscript.
Disclosure of Invention
The first purpose of the invention is to provide an antibacterial carbon powder which has excellent comprehensive printing performance and can endow the manuscript with broad-spectrum antibacterial capability.
The second objective of the invention is to provide a preparation method of the antibacterial carbon powder.
The third purpose of the invention is to provide a toner cartridge containing the antibacterial carbon powder.
In order to achieve the first purpose, the invention provides antibacterial carbon powder, which comprises basic carbon powder and an external additive, and is characterized in that the external additive comprises a nano-silver antibacterial agent and hydrophobic silica, the particle size of the nano-silver antibacterial agent is 5nm to 200nm, the addition amount of the nano-silver antibacterial agent is 0.01 percent to 1.5 percent of the weight of the basic carbon powder, the particle size of the hydrophobic silica is less than 100nm, and the addition amount of the hydrophobic silica is 0.5 percent to 2.5 percent of the weight of the basic carbon powder.
According to the scheme, the nano silver (s i l ver nanopart i c l e, SNP for short) can release silver ions under the synergistic action of oxygen and protons or be oxidized by oxygen to form nano silver oxide and then release the silver ions, and further the antibacterial effect is achieved in the form of the silver ions. The nano silver has wide application field and lasting antibacterial effect, and is an antibacterial agent with broad-spectrum antibacterial performance. Because the carbon powder contains some inorganic components, the nano-silver antibacterial agent in the external additive can be completely integrated into the formula system of the carbon powder and can play an antibacterial role.
The nano metal particle antibacterial agent contains nano copper and nano zinc besides nano silver, but the nano copper and the nano zinc have differences in antibacterial performance, heat conduction performance and electric conduction performance, and the nano silver is more prominent in the performances of the three aspects, so that the nano metal particle antibacterial agent can bring obvious antibacterial property to carbon powder under the condition of small addition amount. A small amount of nano silver with excellent conductivity can ensure that the charged distribution of carbon powder particles is more uniform, and the printing effect is represented by the improvement of the color density and uniformity of an image and the reduction of bottom ash. The printer makes the carbon dust melting and fix on the paper through the heating roll-in effect of fixation roller in the photographic fixing link, and the nanometer silver that has good heat conductivility can improve the holistic heat conductivility of carbon dust for the carbon dust is faster more abundant in the heat conduction of photographic fixing in-process, shows the promotion of carbon dust photographic fixing firmness in the aspect of the printing effect, and in the improvement of the separation claw and the paper feed guide pulley sticky powder condition in the photographic fixing subassembly, the latter is favorable to reducing the clearance maintenance frequency of printer.
The hydrophobic silicon dioxide as the basic component of the external additive can adjust the fluidity of the carbon powder and the frictional electrification of the carbon powder, so that the nano-silver antibacterial agent is fully dispersed in the carbon powder, thereby better exerting the antibacterial performance and improving the printing performance of the carbon powder. In addition, the basic carbon powder produced by both physical method and chemical method can be modified by external addition, so that the modification of the antibacterial performance of two types of basic carbon powder adopting different production processes can be conveniently realized by introducing the nano-silver antibacterial agent into the external additive relative to the internal addition way.
In a further scheme, the nano silver antibacterial agent is added in an amount of 0.1 to 0.5 percent of the weight of the basic carbon powder.
Therefore, the addition amount of the externally added nano silver is economical, and the carbon powder is remarkably improved in antibacterial performance and printing performance.
In a further proposal, the nano-silver antibacterial agent has a particle size of 20nm to 100 nm.
Therefore, the price difference of the nano-silver raw materials with different grain sizes is large, and the smaller the grain size is, the higher the price is. The nano silver with the particle size specification within the range has better broad-spectrum antibacterial performance and relatively lower selling price, and is suitable for being used as externally added nano silver.
In a further aspect, the hydrophobic silica is fumed silica treated with an electropositive hydrophobic surface treatment agent or an electronegative hydrophobic surface treatment agent.
As can be seen, many base carbon powders contain charge control agents and are therefore electrically conductive, and when added externally, it is necessary to use a hydrophobic silica that matches the electrical properties of the base carbon powder. The particle size of the fumed silica is usually 100nm or less, and the positively charged hydrophobic silica can be obtained by treating with a positively charged hydrophobic surface treatment agent such as aminosilane, or the negatively charged hydrophobic silica can be obtained by treating with a negatively charged hydrophobic surface treatment agent such as dimethyldichlorosilane, hexamethyldisilane, or polydimethylsiloxane.
The further proposal is that the grain diameter of the nano silver antibacterial agent is 20nm, and the addition amount of the nano silver antibacterial agent is 0.1 percent of the weight of the basic carbon powder.
The further proposal is that the grain diameter of the nano silver antibacterial agent is 50nm, and the addition amount of the nano silver antibacterial agent is 0.5 percent of the weight of the basic carbon powder.
Therefore, the particle size specification and the addition amount of the two groups of nano-silver antibacterial agents are from the embodiment of the early research stage, and the nano-silver antibacterial agents with the corresponding particle size specification and the corresponding addition amount can introduce a remarkable antibacterial effect for the carbon powder and improve the printing performance of the carbon powder at a lower cost.
In order to achieve the second object, the present invention provides a method for preparing the antibacterial carbon powder, comprising: adding an external additive into 100 parts by weight of basic carbon powder, then putting the mixture into a speed-adjustable mixer with a cooling function, mixing the mixture in a variable speed way for at least one round, and sieving the mixture by a sieve of 100 meshes to 200 meshes;
the external additive comprises 0.01 to 1.5 parts by weight of nano-silver antibacterial agent with the particle diameter of 5nm to 200nm and 0.5 to 2.5 parts by weight of surface modification treated hydrophobic silicon dioxide with the particle diameter of below 100 nm;
and each variable speed mixing is firstly carried out at a low speed under the mixing speed of 17Hz to 23Hz, is suspended for 30s to 90s, is carried out at a high speed under the mixing speed of 60Hz to 70Hz, is stopped for 30s to 90s, and has the total duration of 40s to 120s and 60s to 180 s.
According to the scheme, the external additive with reasonable component proportion is added into the basic carbon powder by a set of matched variable speed mixing process in the preparation method, so that the antibacterial carbon powder with good mixing quality can be obtained, meanwhile, the printing performance of the basic carbon powder can be improved, and in addition, fine powder blocks formed by the adhesion of the carbon powder in the variable speed mixing process can be effectively removed in the sieving link.
The further proposal is that the material temperature is controlled within 40 ℃ by the mixer in each variable speed mixing process.
The further proposal is that the environmental humidity in the variable speed mixing process is controlled to be less than 70 percent, and the environmental temperature is not higher than 30 ℃.
Therefore, the material temperature and the environmental temperature and humidity are respectively controlled within the ranges in the variable-speed mixing process, so that the carbon powder can be effectively prevented from caking.
In order to achieve the third object, the invention further provides a toner cartridge, which is characterized in that the toner cartridge is provided with the antibacterial toner powder in a toner bin.
