Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of carbon fibers from cellulose fibers, which comprises contacting cellulose fibers having a water content of more than 20 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of cellulose fiber with a solution of additives and then the additivated cellulose fibers containing at least 1 part by weight of additives per 100 parts by weight of cellulose are converted into carbon fibers.
  • Carbon fibers can be made by pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile fibers or cellulose fibers. As renewable raw materials, cellulose fibers are becoming increasingly important for the growing market for carbon fibers.
  • Fanlong Zeng, Ding Pan and Ning Pan use viscose fibers to make carbon fibers (Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials, Vol.15, No.2 June 2005). Again, dried cellulose fibers are treated with solutions of additives and then converted into carbon fibers.
  • Hui Li, Yonggang Yang, Yuefang Wen and Lang Liu (Composites Science and Technology 67 (2007) 2675-2682) impregnate the viscose fibers with an organic silicon compound before drying. After drying the fiber pretreated in this way, conventional treatment of the cellulose fiber with additives takes place, here with an aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate and ammonium chloride, and finally the carbonization.
  • cellulose which has been dissolved in ionic liquid is used according to CN 101871 140 for the production of carbon fibers.
  • the carbon yield should be as high as possible, that is, the carbon of the starting fiber is transferred as completely as possible into the carbon fiber.
  • the carbon yield is not yet satisfactory. Part of the carbon in the cellulose is lost through degradation into ultimately carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Also, the mechanical properties of the carbon fibers obtained from cellulose fibers should be further improved.
  • the object of the present invention was therefore an improved process for the production of carbon fibers from cellulose fibers. Accordingly, the method defined above was found.
  • Cellulose fibers are the starting material of the process.
  • Cellulosic fibers are here understood to mean fibers which consist of more than 60% by weight, in particular more than 80% by weight, particularly preferably more than 90% by weight, of cellulose or modified cellulose.
  • the cellulosic fibers consist of more than 98% by weight, most preferably 100% by weight, of cellulose or modified cellulose.
  • modified cellulose is meant cellulose in which hydroxyl groups are etherified or esterified, e.g., it may be cellulose acetate, cellulose formate, cellulose propionate, cellulose carbamate or cellulose allophanate.
  • cellulose fibers which consist of cellulose in the minimum amounts specified above.
  • the cellulose fibers which are brought into contact with the solution of an additive have a water content of more than 20 parts by weight of water, in particular more than 30 parts by weight of water, more preferably more than 50 parts by weight of water, most preferably more than 70 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight cellulose fiber.
  • the water content is not higher than 500, especially not higher than 300 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of cellulose fiber.
  • the cellulose fiber having the above water content can be easily obtained by, for example, dipping a dried cellulose fiber in water. Both natural cellulose fibers and synthetic cellulose fibers are suitable for this purpose.
  • Natural cellulose fibers are in particular cellulose fibers obtained from cotton.
  • synthetic cellulose fibers are used
  • synthetic cellulose fibers are used which were prepared immediately before by a spinning process.
  • the cellulose fibers are then preferably through
  • a spin bath is prepared by dissolving cellulose in a solvent. From this spinning bath, the cellulose fiber is obtained by coagulation of the cellulose in the form of a fiber.
  • Viscose fibers produced by the viscose process are Viscose fibers produced by the viscose process
  • Lyocell® fibers made from a spinning solution containing NMMO (N-methylmorpholine N-oxide) as a solvent and
  • Cellulose fibers which are obtained from spinning solutions with ionic liquid as a solvent, as z. B. in WO 2007/076979 is described. In all the above cases, the obtained cellulose fibers are washed with water to remove adhering solvent or adhesive additives from the spinning bath.
  • the contact with water is carried out so that the cellulose fiber absorbs water in the desired amount indicated above.
  • the cellulose fiber can be immersed in water for a sufficient time or passed through a sufficiently long water bath in a continuous process.
  • cellulose fibers In the production of the cellulose fibers preferably no process measures for drying take place.
  • the cellulose fiber obtained in the spinning process is washed with water without prior drying and then, of course again without prior drying, brought into contact with the solution of the additive. It is therefore a so-called "never dried" cellulose fiber.
  • the aqueous cellulose fibers are contacted with a solution of additives.
  • hydrophilic solvent especially in water, hydrophilic organic solvents, e.g. Alcohols or ethers, or mixtures thereof.
  • hydrophilic solvents are water or mixtures of water with other hydrophilic organic solvents which are immiscible with water indefinitely, with the water content in the solvent mixture in a preferred embodiment being at least 50% by weight in the latter case.
  • the solution is a solution of additives in water.
  • the solution may contain only a single additive or a mixture of different additives.
  • Particularly suitable as additives are compounds which have a solubility in water of at least 10 parts by weight, preferably of at least 20 parts by weight, in particular of at least 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of water under normal conditions (20 ° C., 1 bar).
  • the additives are preferably low molecular weight compounds which have a maximum molecular weight of 1000 g / mol, particularly preferably not more than 500 g / mol, in particular not more than 300 g / mol.

  • Suitable inorganic salts are in particular those whose anions contain phosphorus atoms, sulfur atoms or nitrogen atoms, for.
  • phosphate hydrogen phosphate, phosphite, hydrogen phosphite, sulfate or sulfite, or which contain chloride as anion.
  • the cations of the above inorganic salts may in particular be metal cations, preferably alkali metal cations such as Na + or K + , or ammonium (NhV).
  • additives are often additives which are also used as flame retardants. It may be assumed that these additives interact with the primary hydroxyl group of the glucose ring (ie the CH 2 OH group) and counteract degradation of the cellulose to volatile carbon compounds during pyrolysis.
  • the total amount of all additives in the solution is z. B. 0.05 to 5 mol / per liter of solution, preferably 0.1 mol to 2 mol / per liter of solution.
  • the contact with the solution of the additives is carried out so that the cellulose fiber absorbs additives in the desired amount.

  • the cellulose fiber is generally fed to the individual steps of further processing after their production via movable rollers.
  • excess solvent can be removed from the solution of additives by squeezing and rolled up the additivated cellulose fiber.
  • the additiviere cellulose fiber can be dried, z. B. at temperatures of 50 to 300 ° C. Drying of this type is recommended when the additized cellulose sebase is first to be stored or transported before it is converted into a carbon fiber.
  • the additivated cellulose fiber is converted by pyrolysis in a carbon fiber.
  • the pyrolysis is generally carried out at temperatures of 500 to 1600 ° C. It can, for example, under air or under inert gas, for. As nitrogen or helium are performed. Preferably, it is carried out under a protective gas.
  • the cellulose fiber can be dried. For already dried and stored cellulose fibers, the drying may optionally be repeated. It is possible to use a multi-stage process in which the cellulose fiber is dried at temperatures in the range from 50 to 300 ° C. and then the pyrolysis is carried out at temperatures in the range from 500 to 1600 ° C., preferably 700 to 1500 ° C.
  • the temperature can be increased gradually or continuously.
  • drying may take place in two or more stages, for example at 50 to 100 ° C in a first stage and at 100 to 200 ° C in a second stage.
  • the contact time in the individual stages can be, for example, 5 to 300 seconds and 10 to 500 seconds in total during the drying.
  • pyrolysis may be considered, in which the temperature is continuously increased, e.g. Starting from 200 ° C until finally reaching 1600 or 1400 or 1200 ° C.
  • the temperature increase can take place, for example, at 1 to 20 Kelvin / minute.
