Abstract

To lower the spinning temperature, it is proposed, prior to spinning, to mix the bituminous high-melting carbon fibre precursor with an alcohol which is present in the supercritical state. Surprisingly, no gas or solid is occluded in the fibre. The re-formation of solid matter is prevented.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Kohlenstoffasern aus hochsiedenden bituminösen Stoffen wie beispielsweise Steinkohlenteerpech, Petrolpech, Rückstandsölen der Kohleverflüssigung und Synthesepechen.
Verfahren dieser Art sind an sich bekannt. Die bituminösen Stoffe werden gereinigt und gegebenenfalls nach einer Vorbehandlung polymerisiert. Dabei entsteht ein Mesophasenpech mit unterschiedlichen Mengen an anisotropen Pechbestandteilen, aus dem die leichter flüchtigen und die isotropen Bestandteile zumindest teilweise entfernt werden müssen, um ein Kohlenstoffaser-Vorprodukt mit hohem optisch anisotropem Anteil zu erhalten.
Dieses Vorprodukt muß folgenden Anforderungen genügen:

  • a) Der Anteil an Feststoffen sollte gering sein, damit es beim Verspinnen nicht zu Fadenbrüchen kommt.
  • b) Unter Spinnbedingungen darf es nicht zu einer Gasentwicklung kommen, um Fadenbrüche zu vermeiden.
  • c) Die Viskosität sollte bei hohem Verkokungsrückstand niedrig sein, damit das Vorprodukt bei Temperaturen versponnen werden kann, die deutlich unter der Polymerisationstemperatur liegen.
The invention relates to a process for producing carbon fibers from high-boiling bituminous substances such as coal tar pitch, petroleum pitch, residual oils from coal liquefaction and synthesis pitches.
Methods of this type are known per se. The bituminous substances are cleaned and, if necessary, polymerized after pretreatment. This creates a mesophase pitch with different amounts of anisotropic pitch constituents, from which the more volatile and the isotropic constituents have to be at least partially removed in order to obtain a carbon fiber precursor with a high optically anisotropic proportion.
This preliminary product must meet the following requirements:
  • a) The proportion of solids should be low so that thread breaks do not occur during spinning.
  • b) Under spinning conditions, there must be no gas development in order to avoid thread breaks.
  • c) The viscosity should be low in the case of a high coking residue so that the preliminary product can be spun at temperatures which are significantly below the polymerization temperature.

Das Vorprodukt wird meist über einen Extruder versponnen, und der Pechfaden durch Oxidation unschmelzbar gemacht, carbonisiert und gegebenenfalls graphitiert.
Die Reinigung des bituminösen Stoffes kann durch Filtration oder Extraktion mit gegebenenfalls anschließendem Abdestillieren des Lösungsmittels erfolgen. Diese Verfahrensstufe ist nicht kritisch und wird technisch beherrscht.
Die Polymerisation wird bei erhöhter Temperatur mit oder ohne Katalysator durchgeführt. Die Bedingungen sind so zu wählen, daß möglichst wenig Chinolinunlösliches (QI) aber ein hoher Anteil an optisch anisotropem Material entsteht. Die Neigung zur QI-Bildung kann durch vorheriges Hydrieren vermindert werden. Die Katalysatoren müssen, soweit welche verwendet werden, restlos aus dem Mesophasenpech entfernt werden.
The preliminary product is usually spun using an extruder, and the pitch thread is made infusible by oxidation, carbonized and optionally graphitized.
The bituminous substance can be cleaned by filtration or extraction with subsequent subsequent distilling off of the solvent. This stage of the process is not critical and is technically mastered.
The polymerization is carried out at elevated temperature with or without a catalyst. The conditions should be chosen so that as little quinoline-insoluble (QI) as possible, but a high proportion of optically anisotropic material. The tendency towards QI formation can be reduced by prior hydrogenation. The catalysts, if used, must be removed completely from the mesophase pitch.

Um bereits bei der Polymerisation einen ausreichend hohen Anteil an anisotropem Material zu erhalten, kann dieser Verfahrensschritt unter hohem Vakuum oder unter Einleiten eines Trägergases durchgeführt werden. Die Neubildung von Chinolinunlöslichem läßt sich jedoch nicht vollständig vermeiden, so daß sich häufig an die Polymerisation noch eine Extraktionsstufe anschließen muß. Das verwendete Lösungsmittel muß unter schonenden Bedingungen restlos aus dem Kohlenstoffaser-Vorprodukt destillativ entfernt werden.
Als Rückstand verbleibt eine bei Temperaturen oberhalb etwa 250 °C schmelzende hochviskose Masse, die bei ca. 100 K höheren Temperaturen versponnen wird.
Spinntemperaturen bis etwa 400 °C sind durchaus üblich. Dabei polymerisiert das Vorprodukt weiter, und es besteht die Gefahr, daß sich Feststoffe bilden, die zu Fadenbrüchen führen oder sogar die Spinndüsen verstopfen. Hohe Fließpunkte sind aber notwendig, damit die Pechfäden bei dem bei Temperaturen oberhalb 200 °C beginnenden Oxydationsprozeß noch eine ausreichende Festigkeit besitzen und nicht verkleben. Dieses Problem ist bisher nicht zufriedenstellend gelöst. Es ist vielmehr als Hauptgrund dafür anzusehen, daß die Herstellung von Kohlenstoffasern aus Pech bisher sich großtechnisch nicht hat durchsetzen können.
In order to obtain a sufficiently high proportion of anisotropic material already during the polymerization, this process step can be carried out under high vacuum or with the introduction of a carrier gas. However, the new formation of quinoline-insoluble matter cannot be completely avoided, so that an extraction step often has to follow the polymerization. The solvent used must be removed completely by distillation from the carbon fiber precursor under mild conditions.
The residue that remains is a highly viscous mass that melts at temperatures above about 250 ° C. and is spun at temperatures that are about 100 K higher.
Spinning temperatures up to about 400 ° C are quite common. The preliminary product continues to polymerize, and there is a risk of solids forming which lead to thread breaks or even block the spinnerets. However, high pour points are necessary so that the pitch threads still have sufficient strength during the oxidation process that begins at temperatures above 200 ° C. and do not stick together. So far, this problem has not been solved satisfactorily. Rather, it can be seen as the main reason why the production of carbon fibers from pitch has so far not been able to establish itself on an industrial scale.

Es besteht daher die Aufgabe, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Kohlenstoffasern zu entwicklen, bei dem das hochschmelzende Vorprodukt bei vergleichbar niedrigen Temperaturen versponnen werden kann.It is therefore the task of developing a process for producing carbon fibers in which the high-melting intermediate product can be spun at comparatively low temperatures.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß dem Kohlenstoffaser-Vorprodukt unmittelbar vor dem Verspinnen 2 bis 10 Gew.-% eines Lösungsmittels, das unter normalen Bedingungen in dem Vorprodukt nicht oder nur in sehr geringem Maße löslich ist, zugegeben und unter Bedingungen, unter denen das Lösungsmittel im überkritischem Zustand vorliegt, mit diesem vermischt wird, wobei die Mischzeit mindestens 10 min beträgt. Als Lösungsmittel können beispielsweise hochsiedende Alkohole, Wasser usw. verwendet werden, die unter 100 °C bei Normaldruck in flüssiger Form vorliegen. Durch seinen überkritischen Zustand löst sich das Lösungsmittel vollständig und homogen in dem Vorprodukt.The object is achieved in that 2 to 10% by weight of a solvent which is insoluble or only very slightly soluble in the precursor under normal conditions is added to the carbon fiber precursor and under conditions under which the solvent is in the supercritical state, is mixed with it, the mixing time being at least 10 min. For example, high-boiling alcohols, water, etc., which are present in liquid form at 100 ° C. under normal pressure can be used as solvents. Due to its supercritical state, the solvent dissolves completely and homogeneously in the preliminary product.

Überraschenderweise wurde gefunden, daß es auch innerhalb eines Zeitraumes von etwa 15 min beim Verspinnen nicht zu einer Entmischung kommt. Das Vorprodukt ließ sich länger als 60 min ohne Fadenbruch bei nicht mehr als 30 K über dem Schmelzpunkt liegenden Temperaturen zu 10 µm dicken Fasern verspinnen. Auch nach tagelangen Dauerversuchen zeigten die Spinndüsen keine Verstopfungen. Beim Oxydationsprozeß diffundiert der überwiegende Teil des Lösungsmittels aus der Faser, ohne daß in der Faser bleibende Gasblasen gefunden werden.Surprisingly, it was found that segregation does not occur within a period of about 15 minutes during spinning. The preliminary product could be spun for more than 60 minutes without breaking the thread at temperatures not more than 30 K above the melting point to give fibers 10 μm thick. Even after long-term tests, the spinnerets showed no blockages. In the oxidation process, the majority of the solvent diffuses out of the fiber without any gas bubbles remaining in the fiber being found.

Die Erfindung wird anhand des nachfolgenden Beispiels näher erläutert:The invention is illustrated by the following example:

Beispiel 1example 1

100 Gew.-Teile eines Kohlenstoffaser-Vorprodukts aus Steinkohlenteer mit folgenden Eigenschaften:

Figure imgb0001
werden unter einem Stickstoffdruck von 50 bar in einem Rührwerk auf 360 °C aufgeheizt. Unter intensivem Rühren werden innerhalb von 10 min 40 Gew.-Teile Heptanol gleichmäßig zudosiert und über weitere 10 min intensiv mit dem Vorprodukt gemischt. Das Gemisch wird auf 320 °C abgekühlt und über einen Doppelwellenextruder mit einer Düsenplatte innerhalb von 15 min mit einer Abzugsgeschwindigkeit von 500 m/min versponnen. Die Düsenplatte hat 6 Bohrungen mit einem Durchmesser von 0,8 mm. Die 10 µm dicken Pechfäden werden gekühlt und aufgewickelt. In einem zweiten Rührwerk wird gleichzeitig ein weiterer Ansatz für das Verspinnen vorbereitet, so daß der Spinnversuch ohne Unterbrechung weitergeführt werden kann.
Der Versuch wird nach 1 1/4 h abgebrochen. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist kein Fadenbruch aufgetreten. Die Pechfasern werden in Luft mit 3 K/min bis auf 150 °C und dann mit 1 K/min bis auf 300 °C erhitzt und diese Temperatur 30 min lang erhalten, um die Fasern durch Oxidation zu stabilisieren. Die stabilisierten Fasern werden anschließend in einer Stickstoffatmosphäre mit 5 K/min bis auf 1000 °C aufgeheizt und diese Temperatur 30 min lang gehalten, um die Fasern zu carbonisieren.100 parts by weight of a carbon fiber intermediate product from coal tar with the following properties:
Figure imgb0001
are heated to 360 ° C. in a stirrer under a nitrogen pressure of 50 bar. With intensive stirring, 40 parts by weight of heptanol are metered in uniformly over the course of 10 minutes and mixed intensively with the preliminary product for a further 10 minutes. The mixture is cooled to 320 ° C. and spun in a twin-screw extruder with a die plate within 15 minutes at a take-off speed of 500 m / min. The nozzle plate has 6 holes with a diameter of 0.8 mm. The 10 µm thick pitch threads are cooled and wound up. In a second agitator, another approach to spinning is prepared at the same time, so that the spinning test can continue without interruption.
The experiment is stopped after 1 1/4 hours. No thread breakage has occurred up to this point. The pitch fibers are heated in air at 3 K / min up to 150 ° C. and then at 1 K / min up to 300 ° C. and this temperature is maintained for 30 minutes in order to stabilize the fibers by oxidation. The stabilized fibers are then heated in a nitrogen atmosphere at 5 K / min up to 1000 ° C. and this temperature is maintained for 30 minutes in order to carbonize the fibers.

Die carbonisierten Fasern werden in einem Argonstrom mit einer Temperatursteigerung von 25 K/min bis 2500 °C graphitiert. Die Zugfestigkeit betrug 2,5 kN/mm² bei einem Elastizitäts-Modul von 0,4 MN/mm². An den Bruchstellen sind keine sichtbaren Gas- oder Feststoffeinschlüsse erkennbar.The carbonized fibers are graphitized in an argon flow with a temperature increase of 25 K / min to 2500 ° C. The tensile strength was 2.5 kN / mm² with an elastic modulus of 0.4 MN / mm². There are no visible gas or solid inclusions at the break points.

Bei einer Temperatur von 400 °C gelang es, Pechfäden mit einer Abzugsgeschwindigkeit von 300 K/min zu spinnen. Die Fasern hatten einen Durchmesser von 15 µm. Nach 8 min trat jedoch bereits ein Fadenbruch auf. Der Versuch wurde fortgesetzt. Nach 4 h hatte sich die Düsenplatte jedoch mit Feststoffen zugesetzt, so daß der Versuch abgebrochen werden mußte, um Extruder und Düsenplatte zu reinigen.The experiment described in Example 2 was repeated at a temperature of only 20 K each. At a temperature of 400 ° C, pitch threads were spun at a take-off speed of 300 K / min. The fibers had a diameter of 15 µm. However, a thread break already occurred after 8 minutes.
