Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
Solid fuels are typically manufactured by the following process: the solid fuel may be easily disintegrated or cut to adjust the size and shape after solidification, because the hardness of the solid fuel may be lowered when the components are mixed and neutralized while being heated in the blending tank and then cooled and solidified, particularly when the solid fuel is cooled and solidified under slow cooling conditions. Patent documents 1 and 2 do not disclose in particular to further increase the hardness of the solid fuel.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide: for example, a solid fuel having sufficiently high hardness even when cooled and solidified under slow cooling conditions.
Solution for solving the problem
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention (1) is a solid fuel comprising: the alcohol (A) and the fatty acid (salt) (B) are used for converting the amount of the alkali component in the solid fuel or the insufficient amount of the alkali component for neutralizing the acid component in the solid fuel into sodium hydroxide in equimolar amounts, and the value expressed as the mass ratio (mg/g) of the sodium hydroxide in the solid fuel (hereinafter, also referred to as alkali index) is-2.0 to 1.0.
The alkali component or the acid component in the solid fuel is an alkali component or an acid component that remains without being neutralized when the constituent components of the solid fuel are uniformly mixed. The amount of the alkali component in the solid fuel is represented by a positive value, and the insufficient amount of the alkali component for neutralizing the acid component in the solid fuel is represented by a negative value.
In the mass ratio (mg/g) of sodium hydroxide in the solid fuel, the mass of the solid fuel serving as a denominator is the mass of the solid fuel itself, and is not a value obtained by converting the alkali component in the solid fuel into sodium hydroxide of an equimolar number.
The solid fuel of the present invention has high hardness, is not easily disintegrated, is easily cut, and can be easily adjusted in size and shape. The reason why the hardness of the solid fuel of the present invention is increased is not clear, but it is considered that the alkali index is within a predetermined range, whereby the network structure of the gel formed by the fatty acid becomes firm and stable.
As described above, since the alkali index of the solid fuel of the present invention is specified to be within a predetermined range, for example, in the case of manufacturing by curing under slow cooling conditions, the hardness thereof is also increased.

Thereby, the effect of the present invention becomes more remarkable.
The present invention (3) is the solid fuel of the present invention (1) or (2), wherein the content of the alcohol (a) is 50 to 99 mass%.
The present invention (4) is the solid fuel according to any one of the present invention (1) to (3), wherein the content of the fatty acid (salt) (B) is 3 to 20 mass%.

The present invention (7) is the solid fuel according to any one of the present invention (1) to (6), wherein the surface thereof is covered with paraffin wax.
This prevents the fuel component from being volatilized more effectively. In addition, the ignition performance required as fuel is provided, and the solid fuel can be prevented from being ignited accidentally, so that the solid fuel is more focused and safer.

About 10g of solid fuel is taken and neutral ethanol containing phenolphthalein is added (※1) And heated to dissolve completely.
In the case of insufficient base (no coloration of phenolphthalein to red), titration was directly carried out with 0.1mol/L potassium hydroxide-methanol solution. When the alkali is excessive (the phenolphthalein color is red), an appropriate amount of 0.1mol/L aqueous hydrochloric acid solution is added to make it acidic, and then titration is performed with a 0.1mol/L potassium hydroxide-methanol solution. The end point of the titration was set at the time when the phenolphthalein developed a pale red color.
The base index was calculated according to the following formula.
Base index = [ (a×f-b×f')×0.1×40.00] ≡c
A: amount of aqueous hydrochloric acid (0.1 mol/L) (added when the base is excessive) (mL)
f: factor of 0.1mol/L aqueous hydrochloric acid solution
B: titration of the required amount of 0.1mol/L potassium hydroxide-methanol solution (mL)
f': factor of 0.1mol/L Potassium hydroxide-methanol solution
0.1: titration of molar concentration (mol/L) of solution
40.00: molecular weight of sodium hydroxide
C: weight of solid fuel taken (g)
(. Sub.1) neutralizing ethanol: adding phenolphthalein solution to 1L of ethanol (95 v/v%) defined in JIS K8102 (※2) 10mL of a 0.1mol/L potassium hydroxide-methanol solution was added until a pale red color was obtained.
(. About.2) phenolphthalein solution: 1.0g of phenolphthalein as defined in JIS K8799 was measured, 90mL of ethanol (95 v/v%) as defined in JIS K8102 was added and dissolved, and purified water was added to make the total volume 100mL.

In tables 1 to 3, the amount (parts by mass) of fatty acid is the total mass of the mass ratio of fatty acid to the mass ratio of fatty acid converted to fatty acid in the solid fuel composition. The mass (parts by mass) of each component is the mass of the pure component. The total amount was set to 100 parts by mass.
The obtained solid fuel composition was cooled and solidified, and then cut and molded into a cylindrical shape to obtain a solid fuel.
In examples 7, 20, 30, 33, 37, 41, 43, 56, 66 and 78, the surface of the solid fuel was covered with paraffin by immersing in paraffin dissolved by heating at 80℃to cover 90% (thickness of paraffin: 0.5 mm).
The following evaluation was performed using the obtained solid fuel, and the results are shown in tables 1 to 3. In examples 7, 20, 30, 33, 37, 41, 43, 56, 66, and 78, the hardness and the ease of occurrence of cutting slag during cutting were evaluated using a solid fuel before paraffin coverage, and the other evaluation was performed on a solid fuel covered with paraffin.
(hardness (slow cooling))
The solid fuel composition obtained by mixing the chemical reagents at 55 to 70 ℃ was filled into a glass tube having a diameter of 40mm, and was slowly cured in a warm bath at 50 ℃. After curing, the sample was cut to a height of 25mm, and the sample was horizontally compressed at a speed of 10 mm/min by using a jig for covering the entire upper and lower surfaces of the sample with Autograph AGS-10kNX (manufactured by shimadzu corporation). The value of the load (N) required to compress the solid fuel by 5mm was taken as the hardness index.
Evaluation was performed based on the following criteria.
And (3) the following materials: the hardness index is 150 to 500
And (2) the following steps: the hardness index is 120 or more and less than 150, or more than 500 and 600 or less
Delta: the hardness index is 100 or more and less than 120 or more than 600
X: below 100
If the content is not less than Δ, the hardness is good, the disintegration is difficult, and the cutting property is excellent. The harder the hardness, the harder the disintegration, while the moderate hardness gives more excellent cutting properties. The hardness index is preferably the above-mentioned excellent or good hardness index from the viewpoint of making the balance between the ease of disintegration and the cutting property good and excellent.
(ease of appearance of cutting slag at the time of cutting)
The difficulty in the appearance of cutting slag when solid fuel was wire-cut with a piano wire having a wire diameter of 0.5mm was confirmed. Evaluation was performed based on the following criteria.
