Description
2271768 A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PURE-COLORED IRON OXIDE DIRECT RED
PIGMENTS AND THEIR USE is This invention relates to a process for the production of pure-colored iron oxide direct red pigments by precipitation of iron(H) salts with an alkali solution and oxidation with oxygen-containing gases to form a seed suspension, addition of iron(H) salt solution and metallic iron or iron(H) salt solution and alkali solution to the seed suspension thus obtained and oxidation with oxygen-containing gases until the required color tone is obtained and to their use.
There are four known processes for the production of red iron oxide pigments (T.C. Patton, Pigment Handbook, Vol. 1, New York 1988, page 288). One of these methods is the direct precipitation of red iron oxides which is described in US-A 2,716,595. In this method, an iron(11) salt solution and an alkali solution are mixed in substantially equivalent quantities and air is passed through the iron(II) hydroxide or carbonate suspension obtained. The iron(III) oxide hydroxide seed suspension thus formed is made up into the red pigment in the presence of iron(H) salt by addition of metallic iron, heating and oxidation with oxygen-containing gases.
It is known from DE-B 1 084 405 that red pigments can only be produced from red seed suspensions. According to US-A-3,946,1033, pure red iron oxide seed suspensions are prepared by using seed modifiers.
By virtue of their softness, the pigments produced by this method show improved properties in regard to dispersibility, gloss and flocculation behavior, particularly when used in lacquer systems, by comparison with the pigments produced by calcination of yellow and black iron oxides. In lacquer applications, however, the color purity of the iron oxide red pigments produced by direct precipitation in accordance with US-A-3,946, 103 does not approach that of the red pigments produced by calcination of black and yellow iron oxides.
Accordingly, the problem addressed by the present invention was to provide a process for the production of iron oxide red pigments which would not have any of the disadvantages described above.
A corresponding process has now surprisingly been found, in which a r, 3 black magnetite seed suspension (Fe-,O) is initially prepared and. after a ripening step and after addition of iron(II) salt solution and metallic iron or after addition of iron(H) salt solution and alkali solution- is converted by heating and oxidation with oxvaen-containing gases into a red pigment characterized by highpunty of color.
The seed suspension consists of fine-particle magnetite. It has a specific surface of careater than 60 m2/g (BET nitrogen adsorption, one-point method, DIN 66131) and an average particle size of less than 0.05 Lrn (electron micrograph).
Accordingly, the present invention relates to a process for the production of pure-colored iron oxide direct red pigments by precipitation of iron(H) salts with an alkali solution and oxidation with oxygen-containing gases to form a seed suspension, addition of iron(H) salt solution and metallic iron or iron(H) salt solution and an alkali solution to the seed suspension thus obtained and oxidation with oxygen-containing gases to until the required color tone is obtained, wherein the seed suspension is a black magnetite seed suspension having a specific surface of greater than 60 m.2/g and an average particle size of less than 0.05 Rm.
The fact that pure-colored iron oxide red pigments are obtained by this process is particularly surprising because it is known from US-A-5,076, 848 that the presence of magnetite during the production of iron oxide yellow and red pigments results in distinct losses of color purity.
It is possible in the process according to the invention either to prepare the seed suspension in the suspension itself by establishing suitable conditions or to use separately prepared seeds.
The seed suspension is prepared by precipitation of iron(H) salts with an alkali solution followed by oxidation with oxygen-containing gases.
In one preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention, the seed suspension is prepared by a) b) forming an aqueous iron(II) sulfate solution having a concentration of from about 10 to 80 -A and preferably 20 to 40 g/l, adding about 0.8 to 1.5 and preferably 0.9 to 1.1 equivalents of an alkaline precipitant to said aqueous iron (H) sulfate solution to precipitate a suspension of iron (II) hydroxide or iron(II) carbonate, and C) oxidizing the iron(II) hydroxide or iron(I1) carbonate by intensively aerating said suspension with an oxygen-containing a, 1 = = =S.
Iron(H) salts from steel pickling plants and/or from the production of titanium dioxide may be used with particular advantage for the preparation of the iron(H) sulfate solution.
The temperature prevailing during seed formation is preferably in the range from 30 to 80'C and, more preferably, in the range from 30 to 50"C.
A suspension of iron(][[) hydroxide or carbonate is precipitated by addition of 0.8 to 1.5 equivalents and preferably 0.9 to 1.1 equivalents NaOIL Na,C03, NH3, MgO and/or MgC03 preferably being used.
Precipitation is followed. by Oxidation preferably using air as the oxidizing ag -1 gent. To this end, 20 to '00 liters air per hour and per liter suspension are introduced. A black seed suspension is obtained in which only magnetite (Fe304) can be detected by x-ray phase analysis (Siemens D-500) (ASTM No. 19.
0629). The seed suspension may then be advantageously subjected to ripening for I to 4 hours at 70 to 100'C.
A quantity of seeds of 40 to 30 g/l is preferably used for pigment formation, a quantity of 7 to 20 g/l, calculated as Fe203, being particularly preferred.
Pigment formation may be carried out by two methods. In the first method, metallic iron and iron(III) salt solution are added to the seed suspension which is then heated to 70 to 100'C and preferably to 75 to 90"'C and oxidized by separating the suspension with 0.2 to 50 1 air per hour and per liter suspension until from about the required color tone is obtained. This is the case after seed multiplication by a factor of 2.5 to 10 and preferably 3 to 6.
In the second method, the seed suspension is heated to 70 to 100'C and preferably to 75 to 90'C, iron(II) salt solution and an alkali solution are then added and the suspension is oxidized by aerating the suspension with from about I to 400 1 air per hour and per liter suspension until the required color tone is obtained, the pH value being in the range from 4 to 5.
The salt liquor can be removed by filtration and washing or by sedimentation. The red paste may be processed to slurries or dried and around to form powder-form pigment5.
Soft pure-colored iron oxide red pigments are obtained. a-Fe,O, is detected by x-ray phase analysis (ASTM No. 33.0664).
The color testing of the pigments for lacquer applications was carried out in Alkydal L64 (a product of Bayer AG, an alkyd resin containing 63% linseed oil and 23% phthatic anhydride to which 5% Luvotix HT (a product of Lehmann & Voss) is added to increase viscosity). The pigment volume concentration is 10%.
To test the pigments for applications in the building materials field (DIN 53 237), pressingS were produced from heavy spar. To this end, 0.5 g pigment and 10 g heavy spar were introduced into an approx. 250 ml glass shaking flask. After g addition of 200 steel balls 5 mm in diameter, the contents of the flask were shaken for 3 minutes by means of an automatic table vibrator. The mixture was compressed to form a cylinder.
The CIELAB data (DIN 6174) were determined using a color measuring instrument with an Ulbricht ball (lighting conditions d/8', standard light type C/2'); the surface reflection was included.
Table I shows the colorimetric data of a few pigments produced by the process according to the invention and the corresponding data of a few commercial products.
The color saturation (C) is a measure of the color purity of the piaments.
Both in the lacquer test and in the building materials test, the pigments I produced in accordance with the invention have higher color saturations than the direct red pigments produced by the conventional process according to US- A 3 3,946, 103 (Bayferrox 5 109, a product of Bayer AG) and the red pigments produced by calcination of black pigments obtained, for example, in accordance with DE-A 2 826 941 and DE-A 463 77^1 (Bayferrox 105MO, Bayferrox 1100, products of Bayer 30 AG).
Particularly high red components (a) were obtained in the lacquer test, leading to an aesthetically impressive pure color impression.
-1 In the building, materials test, the aesthetic brick red tones were obtained through the pronounced yellow tinge (b) coupled with the high red component (a)- Pigments produced with seed multiplication by a factor of 1.0 to 1.5 are suitable for use as transparent brown pigments. With a seed multiplication factor of 1.5 to 4, they may be used as transparent or semitransparent red pigments.
The present invention also relates to the use of the iron oxide red pigments produced in accordance -with the invention for rdgnmurg lacquers, plastics, building materials and ceramics both as powder-form piginents and in the form of pastes or slurries.
