The application submits to according to 35 U.S.C. § 111 (a), according to 35 U.S.C. § 119 (e) (1), requires all the right of the applying date of the provisional application 60/432,246 submitted on December 12nd, 2002 according to 35 U.S.C. § 111 (b) and 60/432,252.
Technical field
The present invention relates to aluminium hydroxide of using as plastics, rubber or the like fire-retardant filler and preparation method thereof.More particularly, the present invention relates to the production method of aluminium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide and contain the composition of aluminium hydroxide, described aluminium hydroxide has minimum agglomerate content and disintegrates with primary granule, and when being filled in it in resin, can produce the resin combination of impact property excellence.
Background technology
Up to now, aluminium hydroxide has been widely used as the filler that is filled in rubber and the plastics.For example, found that it is used as fire retardant and at thermosetting resin, as being used as the toning filler in unsaturated polyester resin and the acrylic resin in thermoplastic resin, rubber and Resins, epoxy.
When aluminium hydroxide is used as fire retardant, during the concentration of the aluminium hydroxide that in improving resin, adds, just improved the degree of improving the flame retardant resistance of given resin by the adding fire retardant.But the rising of stacking factor causes the problem such as the kneading moment of torsion that reduces plasticity and raising resin.Also produce such as improving molding temperature and making part aluminium hydroxide produce dehydration and the problem of expand (foaming).
When aluminium hydroxide was used as filler, because aluminium hydroxide lacks enhancement, it had reduced the intensity of resin formed article, particularly shock strength.In order to suppress the reduction of shock strength, suggestion reduces the particle diameter of aluminium hydroxide as far as possible.Although by precipitation is not impossible obtain aluminium hydroxide with nominal particle size, but be difficult to aluminium hydroxide is filled in a large number as filler, because described aluminium hydroxide is the form of secondary agglomerated particle and therefore has the ability of very big absorption oil, described secondary agglomerated particle is produced by a large amount of agglomeration of primary granule.
Therefore, use diameter to be about 50-150 μ m usually, above-mentioned aluminum hydroxide particles is crushed to the aluminum hydroxide particles of department level particulate degree by using ball mill or other similar pulverizer.
By pulverizing aluminium hydroxide is crushed to the regulation particle diameter and needs big energy.When pulverizing, the primary granule of aluminium hydroxide breaks, and forms uneven surface and the chip that comes off and the powder that causes producing and has improved its specific surface area.Therefore, owing to reduced with the consistency of resin and improved viscosity, the aluminium hydroxide of pulverizing is difficult to fill at the resin camber.Particularly under the situation of thermosetting resin, prolonged set time.
Only, can not easily obtain the particle of homogeneous diameter and still have thicker agglomerated particle (the not particle of Fen Suiing) by pulverizing.Confirm that when being filled in powder in the resin, the above-mentioned particle of not pulverizing has constituted the cause of fracture and caused reducing shock strength.In order to remove the above-mentioned particle of not pulverizing, generally use as making their isolating methods by air classifying after pulverizing or screening.But because they require huge original equipment investment, above-mentioned lock out operation is also uneconomical.
Therefore, proposed to be intended to obtain to have the whole bag of tricks of the aluminium hydroxide of uniform regulation particle diameter.
The flat 5-4336 of JP-B discloses a kind of by using continuous centrifugal separator that particle is applied the method that very big centrifugal force suppresses the particle chap, thereby the secondary agglomerated particle is disintegrated and does not destroy primary granule.
The primary particle diameter that aforesaid method will stand to apply the aluminium hydroxide of centrifugal force is limited in 1-4 μ m.It is reported, when diameter surpasses 4 μ m, by the dismembering deficiency of centrifugal force so that the secondary agglomerated particle disintegrate.Aforesaid method never is used for wide range of applications.
The clear 62-9256 of JP-B discloses a kind of by solid aluminum hydroxide being exposed to be heated in advance pyritous Bayer extraction agent, obtains to have the idea of the aluminium hydroxide of primary granule form or rhabdolith form.
But, owing in the process that exposes, carry out the dissolving of aluminium hydroxide, aforesaid method require long-time expose and reduce be on a sticky wicket aspect the production efficiency.
The flat 9-208740 of JP-A discloses a kind of by following steps generation surface dissolution and reduction method for specific area: at first use the dry type impact grinder that the secondary agglomerated particle in the aluminium hydroxide is pulverized, then resulting aluminium hydroxide is converted into the slurry in the sodium aluminate solution of specific alkali concn and slurry is heated up.
But same because it requires aluminium hydroxide filtered and be dry so that it can be pulverized by dry type in advance, aforesaid method has that production process prolongs and the problem of production cost raising.
The purpose of this invention is to provide aluminium hydroxide and the production method that aluminium hydroxide is provided, described aluminium hydroxide has minimum agglomerate content and disintegrates with primary granule, and when being filled in it in resin, produce the resin combination of shock strength excellence highly effectively.

The industry practicality
As previously mentioned, produce in the method for aluminium hydroxide in the present invention, aluminium hydroxide in slurry applies thermal shock, thereby the grain boundary of selectively only dissolving two grades of agglomerated particles of cohesive force deficiency on the crystallography, and in case of necessity, apply thus centrifugal force, thereby make two grades of agglomerated particles that strong being in contact with one another occur, in order to show the effect that the two grades of agglomerated particles of sening as an envoy to disintegrate.
Different from conventional production method, the method that the present invention produces aluminium hydroxide demonstrates the epoch-making ability of the aluminium hydroxide of producing the first grade particles that contains extremely few remaining agglomerated particle and enjoys very large industry and is worth, described conventional method with dry type sieve and air classification device with utilize because the method that the physical impact power of the collision between the medium is pulverized or utilize as the friction of Reymond mill and pulverize or make up as the method for colliding between the particle that sprays mill.
In addition, the present invention's who obtains by said method aluminium hydroxide can be widely used as the various types of fillers that are filled in rubber and the plastics. Can form the moulded parts of high impact strength, and not meet with the reduction of the impact strength that above-mentioned conventional filling aluminium hydrate stands.
