Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing an aluminum-containing iron oxide nucleus with an ⁇ -FeOOH crystal structure from FeCl 2 . This germ is used as the starting material for the production of iron oxide red ( ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 ) via ⁇ -FeOOH
  • Synthetic iron oxides are usually produced by the Laux process, the Peniman process, the precipitation process, the neutralization process or the roasting process (Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5th. Ed.,
  • the iron oxides thus obtained are generally used as pigments.
  • the acidic process uses an iron component, i.e. a component dissolved in water
  • Iron salt, and an alkaline component is metered into this with intensive mixing.
  • the amount of alkaline component added is generally between 15% and 70% of the stoichiometrically required amount.
  • the pH is after adding the alkaline
  • an oxidizing agent usually atmospheric oxygen, is used for the oxidation.
  • the reaction is carried out at temperatures between 20 ° C and 50 ° C. At significantly higher temperatures there is a risk of the formation of undesirable magnetites.
  • the end point of the reaction can be recognized by a sharp drop in the pH value and the redox potential.
  • germ the properties of the product obtained (generally called germ) are determined and, if suitable, this is further processed directly to give the ⁇ -FeOOH pigment.
  • the alkaline process differs from the acid process in the amount of the alkaline component added. In the alkaline process, this is at least 120% of the stoichiometrically required amount, but is generally significantly higher.
  • the temperatures at which this reaction is carried out can be somewhat higher than the temperatures used in the acidic process, since the risk of magnetite formation is lower here.
  • the alkaline process gives relatively long-needle ⁇ -FeOOH crystallites with a length to width ratio of 10: 1 to 30: 1. Since these crystals are also very low in dendrites, this process is particularly suitable for the production of ⁇ -FeOOH as a starting product for magnetic tapes.
  • an ⁇ -FeOOH seed is preferably used and this is then coarsened (built up) in acid, which reduces the incorporation of the coloring metals.
  • the ⁇ -FeOOH serving as the starting material must contain only a small proportion of coloring metals.
  • the build-up may only be carried out at pH values of less than approx. 4, since at higher pH values the coloring metals are increasingly incorporated become.
  • the particle shape of the ⁇ -FeOOH has a significant influence on the color properties, the viscosity of the lacquer and the binder requirement.
  • short-needle ⁇ -FeOOH particles are required. These can be produced from long-needle ⁇ -FeOOH particles by intensive grinding. A cheaper alternative is the direct production of short-lived ⁇ -FeOOH particles.
  • the object of the present invention was to provide a method for the simple and inexpensive production of a short-needle ⁇ -FeOOH seed by the precipitation method.
  • this ⁇ -FeOOH seed is built up to an ⁇ -FeOOH pigment.
  • an ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 red pigment is ultimately produced by annealing.
  • this mixture is heated to a precipitation temperature between 30 ° C and 60 ° C, preferably 35 ° and 50 ° C,
  • the precipitated suspension is then oxidized with an oxidizing agent at such a rate that the oxidation rate is 2-50 mol% / h of the iron to be oxidized and
  • the Al-containing ⁇ -FeOOH nucleus obtained after the oxidation is optionally isolated.
  • the Al-containing ⁇ -FeOOH seed obtained after the oxidation can optionally be used without further isolation, after testing the properties, for the production of iron oxide pigments via ⁇ -FeOOH as an intermediate stage.
  • the preferred procedure is as follows:
  • Oxidation rate 30 - 35 mol% Fe-H / h
  • A1C1 3 (as an aqueous solution) is preferably used as Al component.
  • Si or Ti as a seed modifier, in the form of their chlorides, is also possible, but requires a higher technical outlay in production.
  • NaOH, KOH, Na 2 CO 3 , K 2 CO 3 , Mg (OH) 2 , MgO, MgCO 3 , Ca (OH) 2 , CaO, CaCO 3 , NH 3 or secondary or tertiary aliphatic amines in aqueous Solution or aqueous slurry can be used.
  • NaOH is preferably used.
  • Atmospheric oxygen oxygen, ozone, H 2 O 2 , chlorine, nitrates of the alkali or alkaline earth metals or NH 4 NO 3 are used as the oxidizing agent. Atmospheric oxygen is preferably used.
  • iron-chloride solution used contains larger quantities at pH values of less than 4 precipitable coloring metals, these can be added by adding a alkaline component to the iron-chloride solution up to pH 4 can be precipitated.
  • the resulting solid can be separated from the supernatant clear, purified solution by sedimentation, filtration or centrifugation.
  • Fe-DI is also removed, which has a significantly undesirable effect on the reaction to the ⁇ -FeOOH germ (formation of black
  • the reaction is carried out in discontinuous or continuous stirred tanks, in stirred tank cascades, loop reactors or stirrerless reactors with two-component nozzles as mixing elements.
  • the ⁇ -FeOOH nuclei according to the invention After the ⁇ -FeOOH nuclei according to the invention have been produced, they are converted into a pigment, which takes place by coarsening of the nuclei particles known per se (pigment build-up). However, since the ⁇ -FeOOH nuclei according to the invention are not used as such, it is necessary to describe the pigment structure and the annealing to an iron oxide red pigment.
  • the Al-containing germ produced by the process according to the invention is pumped to a solution of FeCl or FeSO 4 or another Fe-D salt. 7 - 15 mol Fe-ü salt as a solution with a
  • Red pigment should be produced, it makes sense to feed the washed solid directly to a suitable glow unit.
  • the ⁇ -FeOOH pigment is expediently annealed in a continuously operating apparatus. Continuous rotary kilns are suitable for this
  • the required annealing temperatures are only between 550 ° C and 800 ° C.
  • the required average residence times are between 10 and 80 minutes.
  • the resulting ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 pigment is then preferably subjected to screening grinding in order to remove oversize particles and agglomerates.
  • the red pigment thus obtained is characterized by high color purity, almost isometric particle shape, low oil number and high chemical purity.
  • the sum of its properties makes it particularly suitable for:
  • This process is particularly economical due to the relatively low annealing temperatures, the inexpensive raw materials and the high production rate in the production of yellow pigments. Due to the special reaction procedure and the use of a precisely specified germ, it is possible to safely produce particularly high-quality red pigments, which have application advantages compared to pigments produced by other processes. Environmentally relevant chemicals are not used in the production of the red pigments according to the invention.
