Abstract
A black titanium oxynitride powder is described, containing 4-35 weight % oxygen, 2-20 weight % nitrogen and 63-76 weight % titanium and having an O:N weight ratio of 15 to 0.2. The powder is obtained by reaction of titanium dioxide with nascent nitrogen. The material is useful as a non-toxic black pigment.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Black pigment
This invention relates to titanium oxynitride pigment powder having a black tint.
Background of the Invention
Today carbon black powder and triiron tetraoxide powder are widely used as black pigments.
Carbon black is excellent as regards its black tint and tinting strength, but it is not easy to handle since it has poor affinity for resin materials and is very bulky. Also it is possibly toxic as it may contain carcinogenic 3,4-benzopyrene originating from raw materials, although in a very slight amount. Further, the specific surface area of carbon black is far greater than other pigment materials. Therefore, when it is mixed with another pigment, it is not easily dispersed uniformly.
Triion tetraoxide is inferior in dispersibility because of coagulation owing to magnetism. Also it is inferior in heat resistance, as it is oxidized to brown y-Fe203 when heated to about 150"C.
The lower oxide of titanium Ti,O,, 1(1 < nv10) is known as a black pigment. This is obtained by reducing titanium dioxide powder with titanium or hydrogen gas at a temperature not lower than 1 000"C. However, this material has a fundamental defect in that it easily sinters, causing grain growth and resulting in a coarse powder (1.0 m-6 or more in diameter) which is unsuitable for a pigment.
We have found that if titanium dioxide is reacted with a substance which liberates nascent nitrogen at the reaction temperature (such as ammonia, alkylamines, hydrazine, guanidine, urea, ammonium carbonate, etc.) titanium oxynitride is obtained. This material has colours which range from black through brownish black and purplish black to bluish black in accordance with variations in the composition, and has excellent affinity for resin materials, dispersibility, heat resistance and non-toxicity, in which respects known black pigment materials are unsatisfactory. Also this material can be obtained with varied specific surface areas by varying the conditions of the preparation.
Disclosure of the Invention
This invention provides black titanium oxynitride pigment powder comprising or essentially consisting of 4-35 wt% oxygen, 2-20 wt% nitrogen and 63-76 wt% titanium, in which the weight ratio of oxygen to nitrogen is from 15 to 0.2.
In this composition range, the pigment powder of the invention has a distinct black colour.
Preferably, the titanium oxynitride pigment powder contains 6-32 wt% oxygen, 5-18 wt% nitrogen and 63-76 wt% titanium and the weight ratio of oxygen to nitrogen is 5-0.5.
More preferably, the titanium oxynitride pigment powder contains 10-27 wt% oxygen, 10-16 wt% nitrogen and 63-74 wt% titanium, and the weight ratio of oxygen to nitrogen is 2-1.0.
The pigment powder of this invention is excellent as regards colour and tinting strength. It can be obtained in varied black colours tinged with blue, purple, brown, etc. by varying the production conditions, as mention above.
Being free from toxic substances, this pigment powder is suitable for colouring plastics for food containers as well as for cosmetics.
The pigment powder has electric conductivity of 10-10 3 ohm cm in the compressed lump state, and therefore can be used for providing non-conductive materials with electric conductivity.
The contents of oxygen and nitrogen vary depending upon temperature and reaction time, the conditions of supply of the nascent-nitrogen-producing substance, etc.
The preferred reaction temperature is 550"C-950"C. At a temperature of below 500"C the reaction does not proceed easily and the product is less coloured, that is, becomes bluish grey.
On the contrary, at a temperature of above 950"C, sintering is promoted and coarse particles unsuitable for pigments are produced.
The preferred nitrogen source substance is ammonia gas. When ammonia gas is used, the reaction proceeds satisfactorily at atmospheric pressure and gives a black powder. However, if ammonia is pressurized to 2-3 kg/cm2 G, the reaction rate increases and the nitrogen content of the product increases and thus very black powder is obtained.
It is preferable to use titanium dioxide of smaller particle size (greater specific surface area), since a blacker powder is obtained with shorter reaction times.
The reaction product consists of NaCI type cubic lattice particles only or consists of composite particles of the NaCI type cubic lattice and rutile type tetragonal lattice. The latter may be partly mixed with anatase type crystal. The tetragonal lattice substance is residual titanium dioxide.
Example 1
In a tower reactor 30 cm in inside diameter and 130 cm in height equipped with agitations blades, 4 kg of titanium dioxide powder (availale from Tohoku Kagaku K.K. under the tradename
TCA 555, specific surface area: 9.4m2/g, average particles size: 0.16 m-6) was placed. The reactor temperature was maintained at 800"C, ammonia gas was introduced from the bottom at the in-reactor velocity of 3 cm/sec, as the agitation blades are rotated at 15 rpm. The reaction was continued for 6 hours, and 3.1 kg of purplish black powder was recovered. There was some carry-over loss. The degree of blackness of the powder was measured with a Colorcomputer SM-3 by Suga Shikenki K.K. and the L value was 12. The specific surface area was 9.0 m2/g, the average particle size was 0.2 m-6. The oxygen content was 20 wt% and the nitrogen content was 13 wt%.The analysis was carried out by Inert Gas Fusion Chromatography using
LECC TC-30 Nitrogen-Oxygen Determinator Model 750-200. The cubic lattice/tetragonal lattice intensity ratio in X-ray diffractrometry was 1/20.
Examples 2-4
Using the same apparatus and the same titanium dioxide powder as in Example 1, the reaction with ammonia was conducted under different conditions, and black powders were obtained. The results are shown in Table 1.
Examples 5-6
Using the same apparatus as in Example 1 and titanium dioxide powder available from Teikoku
Kako K.K. under the tradename MT-500B (specific surface area 40 m2/g, average particle size: 0.04 m-6), the reaction with ammonia was conducted under different conditions and black powders were obtained. The results are shown in Table 1.
