Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、アルミナ多孔質セラミックス及びその製造方法に関するものであり、更に詳しくは、水の添加により、気孔率を所定の範囲に調節したことを特徴とするアルミナ多孔質セラミックス、及びその製造方法に関するものである。本発明によって得られるアルミナ多孔質セラミックスは、アルミナの特徴である高耐熱性と高耐食性、及び開気孔率5%以上の所定の範囲に制御された気孔率と、0.01〜20ミクロンの範囲に、少なくとも一つの気孔分布のピークを有しており、例えば、高温燃焼ガス排気フィルター、触媒担体、断熱材、吸音材等の構造材とし有用である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、セラミックスの製造においては、セラミックス原料粉末を任意の形状に成形し、その形状を保持するために、結合剤が使用されている。例えば、アルミナ多孔質セラミックスの製造においても、原料粉末から任意の形状を成形する工程で、結合剤が必要である。この結合材としては、例えば、ポリビニルアルコール、澱粉、メチルセルロース、ポリビニルブチラール、ポリエチレン等の有機質結合剤が使用されている。
【0003】
アルミナは、Al の組成式を持ち、更に、1200℃以上の高温で遷移させたαーアルミナ(αーAl 、以下、本明細中では、アルミナと記載することがある。)は、最終的に最も安定である。そのため、アルミナは、耐熱性と耐食性に優れた特徴を持っている。これらのことから、アルミナ原料粉末に、気孔形成材を添加し、混練後、成形、焼成して製造されるアルミナ多孔質セラミックスは、例えば、高温燃焼ガス排気フィルター、触媒担体、断熱材、吸音材等の高温及び腐食雰囲気下等の過酷な環境下で使用できる構造材として注目されている(非特許文献1参照)。
【0004】
このように、従来、アルミナ多孔質セラミクスの製造では、酸化アルミニウム粉末及び/又は酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末からなるアルミナ原料粉末に、澱粉、アクリル樹脂、カーボン粉末等の可燃性物質を気孔形成剤として、添加、混練して成形、焼成し、可燃性物質が燃焼、除去された空隙により、アルミナセラミックスの気孔を形成することが行われていた。従って、気孔形成剤の粒子径と、添加量を調整して、アルミナ多孔質セラミックスの気孔分布と気孔率を調節することが行われていた。
【0005】
しかしながら、従来の方法には、それぞれ、次のような問題点があった。有機質結合剤が燃焼するときに発生するガスは、環境を汚染する恐れがある。また、環境汚染を防止するための工程を加えると、製造工程が複雑化するため、製造コストが増大し、経済的に不利である。更に、焼成後の多孔質セラミックス中に有機質結合材が残炭又は灰分として残留すると、品質上の問題を生じるため、完全に燃焼除去する必要があり、そのコストは無視できないという問題がある。
【0006】
可燃性物質からなる気孔形成剤を用いる方法では、気孔形成剤の粒子径と添加する量を調節することにより、気孔分布と気孔率が容易に調節できる。しかし、気孔形成剤が燃焼するときに発生するガスは、環境を汚染する恐れがある。また、環境汚染を防止するための工程を加えると、製造工程が複雑化するため、製造コストが増大し、経済的に不利である。更に、焼成後の多孔質セラミックス中に気孔形成剤が残炭又は灰分として残留すると、品質上の問題を生じるため、完全に燃焼除去する必要があり、そのコストは無視できないという問題がある。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような状況の中で、本発明者らは、上記従来技術に鑑みて、上記従来技術の各種の問題を解消することが可能な新しいアルミナ多孔質セラミックス及びその製造方法を開発することを目標として鋭意研究を積み重ねた結果、水硬性アルミナ粉末と、酸化アルミニウム粉末及び/又は酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末からなる混合粉末を、水と混練して成形、乾燥、焼成することにより、所期の目的を全て達成し得ることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
すなわち、本発明は、水の添加により、気孔率を5%以上の所定の範囲に制御すること、及び少なくとも一つの気孔分布のピークを0.01〜20ミクロンの範囲に制御することが可能なアルミナ多孔質セラミックスの製造方法、及びそのアルミナ多孔質セラミックスを提供することを目的とするものである。
【0009】

(1)水硬性アルミナ粉末と、酸化アルミニウム粉末及び/又は酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末からなる混合粉末を、水と混練して成形、乾燥、焼成して、開気孔率が5%以上で、0.01〜20ミクロンの範囲に、少なくとも一つの気孔分布のピークを持つ多孔質セラミックスを製造することを特徴とするアルミナ多孔質セラミックスの製造方法。

【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明を更に詳細に説明する。
本発明は、水硬性アルミナ粉末と、酸化アルミニウム粉末及び/又は酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末からなる混合粉末を、水と混練して成形、乾燥、焼成して、所望の気孔率と気孔分布を持つアルミナ多孔質セラミックスを製造し、提供することを特徴とするものである。なお、水硬性アルミナ粉末と、酸化アルミニウム粉末及び/又は酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末からなる混合粉末を、以下、混合粉末と記載することがある。
【0011】
本発明において、水硬性アルミナ粉末は、水和反応により水和物を形成するアルミナであることを特徴とする粉末である。また、酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末は、いわゆる水酸化アルミニウム粉末と呼ばれるものであり、ギブサイト、バイヤライト、ベーマイト及びアルミナゲル等の非晶質アルミナ水和物の少なくとも1種が用いられる。
【0012】
水硬性アルミナ粉末、酸化アルミニウム粉末、及び酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末の平均粒子径は、約0.01〜100μm、好ましくは約0.01〜10μm、更に好ましくは約0.01〜5μmである。水硬性アルミナ粉末、酸化アルミニウム粉末及び酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末のそれぞれの混合前の粒度は、細かい方が好ましいが、混合過程で上記範囲に粉砕処理をする場合には、粗粒であっても差し支えない。
【0013】
水硬性アルミナは、水硬性アルミナ粉末と、酸化アルミニウム粉末及び/又は酸化アルミニウム水和物粉末からなる混合粉末100重量部中に、少なくとも5重量部、好ましくは30重量部以上、更に好ましくは50重量部以上含まれる。5重量部未満では、水硬性アルミナの水和反応に伴う混合粉末の硬化が不十分であり、任意の形状を十分保持できない。
【0014】
水硬性アルミナと酸化アルミニウム粉末及び/又は酸化アルミニウム水和物の粉末の混合は、通常の方法で行う。ただし、水を媒体とした湿式法で混合を行う場合は、後述する水量で、しかも、水添加後、硬化開始前に、混合と、後記する成形体の製造を終わらせる。更に好ましくは、水添加後、凝結開始前に、混合と、後記する成形体の製造を終わらせる。ここで、硬化とは、水を含む混合粉末の流動性が無くなることを意味し、凝結とは、水を含む混合粉末がこわばることを意味する。
【0015】
混練に使用する水量は、混合粉末100重量部に対して、5〜200重量部であり、好ましくは10〜100重量部であり、更に好ましくは20〜80重量部である。5重量部よりも使用する水量が少ないと、混合粉末は可塑性に乏しいため、任意の形状を容易に付与できない。また、水硬性アルミナの水和反応が不十分であるため、任意の形状を十分保持できない。更に、200重量部よりも使用する水量が多くなると、混合粉末は、凝結・硬化しないため、任意の形状を保持できず、強度特性に優れた成形体が得られないため、適当ではない。
【0016】
なお、水を含む混合粉末の流動性を保ちながら水の使用量を調整する目的で、例えば、リグニンスルホン酸塩、ポリカルボン酸塩等の減水剤を使用しても構わない。成形は、水を含む混合粉末が成形できればどの方法でも構わないが、好適には、例えば、加圧成形、可塑成形、鋳込み成形等が例示される。本発明では、水を含んだ混合粉末は、流動性があるため、成形型に流し込むことも可能である。成形した水を含む混合粉末は、室温で乾燥させない雰囲気下で硬化させる。必要に応じて、脱型して含水成形物を得る。
【0017】
得られた含水成形物は、乾燥、焼成して、添加した水を脱水して空隙を形成するとともに、混合粉末の反応によってアルミナを生成し、最終製造物であるアルミナ多孔質セラミックスを製造する。これらの方法は、通常の方法で行われる。含水成形物の乾燥、焼成は、ひび割れやそりが生じなければ、それぞれ独立に行っても、また一連で行っても構わない。
【0018】
焼成温度は、1200〜1700℃が好ましい。更に好ましくは1400〜1600℃である。1200℃未満では、アルミナが完全に生成しない。また、1700℃以上では、エネルギーコスト及び製造コストが上昇し、好ましくない。更に、過焼結により気孔率が低下する。焼成時間は、加熱温度により相違するが、0.5〜10時間、好ましくは1〜6時間、更に好ましくは2〜4時間である。10時間以上は、エネルギーコスト及び製造コストが上昇し、好ましくない。更に、過焼結により気孔率が低下する。
【0019】
このようにして製造された本発明のアルミナ多孔質セラミックスは、有機質結合剤等の添加剤を使わなくても、成形体強度に優れており、更に、可燃性気孔形成剤等の添加剤を使わずに、水硬性アルミナの粒子径と、混練する水量を調整するという極めて簡単な方法で、開気孔率を5%以上、好適には10〜80%の所定の範囲に調節することができるとともに、更に、少なくとも一つの気孔分布のピークを0.01〜20ミクロンの所定の範囲に調節することができるため、有機質結合剤と可燃性気孔形成剤による環境汚染の問題を解消することができる。更に、製造された本発明のアルミナ多孔質セラミックスは、0.01〜20ミクロンの範囲で、気孔分布に少なくとも一つのピークを持つことから気孔径が揃っており、濾過を目的とした高温燃焼ガス排気フィルター等の使用に好適である。本発明の方法により、製造プロセスを簡略化し、製造コストを大幅に低減することができる。そのため、本発明のアルミナ多孔質セラミックスは、例えば、高温燃焼ガス排気フィルター、触媒担体、断熱材、吸音材等の構造材として広く利用することができる。

次に、実施例及び比較例に基づいて、本発明を具体的に説明するが、本発明は、これらによって何ら限定されるものではない。

Alumina has a composition formula of Al 2 O 3 , and furthermore, α-alumina (α-Al 2 O 3 , hereinafter, may be referred to as alumina in the present specification) which is transitioned at a high temperature of 1200 ° C. or higher. Is ultimately the most stable. For this reason, alumina has excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance. From these facts, alumina porous ceramics produced by adding a pore-forming material to alumina raw material powder, kneading, molding and firing are, for example, a high-temperature combustion gas exhaust filter, a catalyst carrier, a heat insulating material, and a sound absorbing material. Attention has been paid to structural materials that can be used under severe environments such as high temperatures and corrosive atmospheres (see Non-Patent Document 1).
[0004]
As described above, conventionally, in the production of alumina porous ceramics, a combustible substance such as starch, an acrylic resin, or carbon powder is used as a pore-forming agent in an alumina raw material powder composed of aluminum oxide powder and / or aluminum oxide hydrate powder. Addition, kneading, molding, and firing have been performed, and pores of alumina ceramics have been formed by voids from which combustible substances have been burned and removed. Therefore, the pore size and the porosity of the alumina porous ceramics have been adjusted by adjusting the particle size and the amount of the pore forming agent.
[0005]
However, each of the conventional methods has the following problems. The gases generated when the organic binder burns can pollute the environment. Further, if a process for preventing environmental pollution is added, the manufacturing process becomes complicated, so that the manufacturing cost increases and it is economically disadvantageous. Furthermore, if the organic binder remains as residual carbon or ash in the fired porous ceramics, there is a problem in quality. Therefore, it is necessary to completely burn and remove the organic binder, and the cost cannot be ignored.
[0006]
In the method using a pore-forming agent composed of a combustible substance, the pore distribution and the porosity can be easily adjusted by adjusting the particle size and the amount of the pore-forming agent to be added. However, the gas generated when the pore former burns may pollute the environment. Further, if a process for preventing environmental pollution is added, the manufacturing process becomes complicated, so that the manufacturing cost increases and it is economically disadvantageous. Furthermore, if the pore-forming agent remains as residual carbon or ash in the fired porous ceramics, there is a problem in quality. Therefore, it is necessary to completely burn and remove the pore-forming agent, and the cost cannot be ignored.

[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, the present invention will be described in more detail.
According to the present invention, a mixed powder composed of a hydraulic alumina powder, an aluminum oxide powder and / or an aluminum oxide hydrate powder is kneaded with water, molded, dried and calcined to have a desired porosity and pore distribution. It is characterized by producing and providing porous alumina ceramics. In addition, the mixed powder composed of the hydraulic alumina powder and the aluminum oxide powder and / or the aluminum oxide hydrate powder may be hereinafter referred to as a mixed powder.
[0011]
In the present invention, the hydraulic alumina powder is an alumina that forms a hydrate by a hydration reaction. The aluminum oxide hydrate powder is so-called aluminum hydroxide powder, and at least one of amorphous alumina hydrates such as gibbsite, bayerite, boehmite, and alumina gel is used.
[0012]
The average particle size of the hydraulic alumina powder, aluminum oxide powder, and aluminum oxide hydrate powder is about 0.01 to 100 μm, preferably about 0.01 to 10 μm, and more preferably about 0.01 to 5 μm. The particle size of the hydraulic alumina powder, the aluminum oxide powder and the aluminum oxide hydrate powder before mixing is preferably finer, but when pulverizing to the above range in the mixing process, coarse particles may be used. No problem.
[0013]
Hydraulic alumina is at least 5 parts by weight, preferably 30 parts by weight or more, more preferably 50 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of a mixed powder composed of hydraulic alumina powder and aluminum oxide powder and / or aluminum oxide hydrate powder. Parts or more are included. If the amount is less than 5 parts by weight, the hardening of the mixed powder accompanying the hydration reaction of hydraulic alumina is insufficient, and an arbitrary shape cannot be sufficiently maintained.
[0014]
The mixing of the hydraulic alumina and the aluminum oxide powder and / or the aluminum oxide hydrate powder is performed by a usual method. However, when the mixing is performed by a wet method using water as a medium, the mixing and the production of a molded body described later are completed with the amount of water described below and after the addition of water and before the start of curing. More preferably, after the addition of water and before the start of coagulation, the mixing and the production of a molded body to be described later are finished. Here, hardening means that the fluidity of the mixed powder containing water is lost, and coagulation means that the mixed powder containing water is stiff.
[0015]
The amount of water used for kneading is 5 to 200 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 100 parts by weight, and more preferably 20 to 80 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the mixed powder. If the amount of water used is less than 5 parts by weight, the mixed powder has poor plasticity, so that an arbitrary shape cannot be easily provided. In addition, since the hydration reaction of hydraulic alumina is insufficient, an arbitrary shape cannot be sufficiently maintained. Further, if the amount of water used is more than 200 parts by weight, the mixed powder does not coagulate and harden, cannot maintain an arbitrary shape, and cannot obtain a molded article having excellent strength properties, which is not suitable.
[0016]
For the purpose of adjusting the amount of water used while maintaining the fluidity of the mixed powder containing water, for example, a water reducing agent such as a lignin sulfonate or a polycarboxylate may be used. The molding may be performed by any method as long as a mixed powder containing water can be molded, but preferably, for example, pressure molding, plastic molding, cast molding and the like are exemplified. In the present invention, since the mixed powder containing water has fluidity, it can be poured into a molding die. The formed mixed powder containing water is cured at room temperature in an atmosphere that does not dry. If necessary, demolding is performed to obtain a water-containing molded product.
[0017]
The obtained water-containing molded product is dried and fired, and the added water is dehydrated to form voids, and alumina is generated by the reaction of the mixed powder to produce an alumina porous ceramic as a final product. These methods are performed in a usual manner. Drying and firing of the water-containing molded product may be performed independently or in series as long as cracks and warpage do not occur.
[0018]
The firing temperature is preferably from 1200 to 1700 ° C. More preferably, it is 1400 to 1600 ° C. If the temperature is lower than 1200 ° C., alumina is not completely formed. If the temperature is 1700 ° C. or higher, the energy cost and the manufacturing cost increase, which is not preferable. Furthermore, porosity is reduced by oversintering. The firing time varies depending on the heating temperature, but is 0.5 to 10 hours, preferably 1 to 6 hours, and more preferably 2 to 4 hours. If the time is longer than 10 hours, the energy cost and the production cost increase, which is not preferable. Furthermore, porosity is reduced by oversintering.
[0019]
The alumina porous ceramics of the present invention thus produced is excellent in the strength of a molded article without using an additive such as an organic binder, and further uses an additive such as a combustible pore-forming agent. Instead, the open porosity can be adjusted to a predetermined range of 5% or more, preferably 10 to 80% by a very simple method of adjusting the particle size of hydraulic alumina and the amount of water to be kneaded. Furthermore, since the peak of at least one pore distribution can be adjusted to a predetermined range of 0.01 to 20 microns, the problem of environmental pollution caused by the organic binder and the combustible pore-forming agent can be solved. Further, the produced alumina porous ceramics of the present invention has a uniform pore diameter because it has at least one peak in the pore distribution in a range of 0.01 to 20 microns, and has a high-temperature combustion gas for the purpose of filtration. It is suitable for use in exhaust filters and the like. According to the method of the present invention, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced. Therefore, the alumina porous ceramic of the present invention can be widely used as a structural material such as a high-temperature combustion gas exhaust filter, a catalyst carrier, a heat insulating material, and a sound absorbing material.
