Description

本発明は酸化チタン粉末の製造方法に係り、特には、比表面積が大きくかつルチル化率を任意に制御し得る、電子材料、紫外線遮蔽材料、光触媒材料、ディスプレイの反射防止膜、プラズマディスプレイなどの基盤用隔壁に用いるガラス材のフィラー材、または各種触媒の担体などに適した屈折率の高い酸化チタン粉末の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a titanium oxide powder, and in particular, an electronic material, an ultraviolet shielding material, a photocatalyst material, a display antireflection film, a plasma display, etc. having a large specific surface area and capable of arbitrarily controlling the rutile ratio. The present invention relates to a method for producing a titanium oxide powder having a high refractive index suitable for a filler material of glass material used for a partition wall for a substrate or a carrier of various catalysts.

酸化チタン粉末は、白色顔料として古くから利用されており、近年は化粧品などの紫外線遮蔽材料、光触媒、コンデンサ、サーミスタの構成材料あるいはチタン酸バリウムの原料等電子材料に用いられる焼結材料に広く利用されている。また、酸化チタンは可視光付近の波長領域において大きな屈折率を示すため、可視光領域では殆ど光吸収は起こらない。このことから最近化粧料、医薬あるいは塗料等の紫外線遮蔽が要求されるような材料や、液晶ディスプレイ表示部やプラスティックレンズなどの反射防止膜として利用されている。反射防止膜は通常フッ素樹脂、シリコーン系樹脂などの低屈折率の樹脂などで形成される層と、高屈折率層を交互に重ねたものであり、酸化チタンはこの反射防止膜の高屈折率層の材料として用いられている。さらに最近需要の増えているプラズマディスプレイにおいては、その輝度を向上させるため、基盤用隔壁に用いられるガラス材に酸化チタンを被覆して反射率の改善を図ったり、ガラス材にルチル型酸化チタン粉末を配合して屈折率の改善を図ったりしている。   Titanium oxide powder has long been used as a white pigment, and in recent years it has been widely used in sintered materials used in electronic materials such as UV shielding materials for cosmetics, photocatalysts, capacitors, thermistors, and barium titanate materials. Has been. Further, since titanium oxide exhibits a large refractive index in the wavelength region near visible light, light absorption hardly occurs in the visible light region. For this reason, it has recently been used as an antireflective film for materials such as cosmetics, medicines, paints, and the like that require ultraviolet shielding, and for liquid crystal display portions and plastic lenses. The anti-reflective coating is a layer in which low-refractive-index resins such as fluororesin and silicone resin are usually layered alternately with a high-refractive index layer. Titanium oxide has a high refractive index. Used as layer material. Furthermore, in order to improve the brightness of plasma displays, which have recently been increasing in demand, the glass material used for the partition walls for the substrate is coated with titanium oxide to improve the reflectance, or the rutile titanium oxide powder is applied to the glass material. To improve the refractive index.

なお、ルチル型酸化チタンは、アナターゼ型酸化チタンに比べ、紫外線遮蔽効果や高屈折率などの光学的特性や高誘電特性などの電気特性において優れた性能を発揮することが知られている。   In addition, it is known that rutile type titanium oxide exhibits superior performance in electrical characteristics such as optical characteristics such as ultraviolet shielding effect and high refractive index and high dielectric characteristics, compared with anatase type titanium oxide.

酸化チタンの膜を形成するには、従来様々な方法が検討されている。例えば、基板表面に酸化チタンの薄膜を形成させる方法としては、蒸着法、CVD法、スパッタ法などのドライ法、ゾル−ゲル法、メッキ法、電解重合法などのウェット法が知られている。しかしながらこれらの方法においてルチル型酸化チタン膜を形成するためには、酸化チタン膜を形成した後600℃以上に加熱処理する必要があり、このため用いられる基材がガラス、セラミックスあるいは金属などの無機材料に限られ、その用途が限定されていた。そのためルチル型などの結晶性を持つ酸化チタン粉末をペーストなどの分散液とし、これを基材に塗布して膜を形成することも検討されている。しかしこのような酸化チタン粉末の塗布による方法において、膜の透明性を確保するために粒径をより小さくする必要がある。しかしながら従来の気相法や液相法を用いてより粒径の小さい酸化チタン粉末を製造しようとした場合、得られる酸化チタンの結晶型はルチル型にはならず、アモルファスあるいはアナターゼ型を相当量含むものであった。ルチル型に変換するためには更にこれらの酸化チタンを加熱処理することが必要であり、この加熱処理によって粒子の凝集が生じ、結果として微粒子を維持したままルチル型の酸化チタン粉末を得ることは困難であった。   Various methods have been studied for forming a titanium oxide film. For example, as a method for forming a thin film of titanium oxide on the substrate surface, dry methods such as vapor deposition, CVD, and sputtering, and wet methods such as sol-gel, plating, and electrolytic polymerization are known. However, in order to form a rutile-type titanium oxide film in these methods, it is necessary to heat-treat at 600 ° C. or higher after forming the titanium oxide film. For this reason, the substrate used is an inorganic material such as glass, ceramics or metal. It was limited to materials and its use was limited. For this reason, it has been studied to form a film by forming a rutile-type crystalline titanium oxide powder into a dispersion such as a paste and applying it to a substrate. However, in such a method by application of titanium oxide powder, it is necessary to make the particle size smaller in order to ensure the transparency of the film. However, when trying to produce titanium oxide powder with a smaller particle size using the conventional vapor phase method or liquid phase method, the crystal form of the resulting titanium oxide is not a rutile type, and a considerable amount of amorphous or anatase type is used. It was included. In order to convert to the rutile type, it is necessary to further heat-treat these titanium oxides. By this heat treatment, particles are aggregated, and as a result, it is possible to obtain rutile-type titanium oxide powder while maintaining the fine particles. It was difficult.

微粒子のルチル型酸化チタンを得る方法としては、特開平7−291629号公報に、超微粒子状アモルファス酸化チタンを、無機酸水溶液中で熟成させることにより超微粒子状ルチル型酸化チタンに変換する方法が開示されている。具体的には、有機チタン化合物や四塩化チタンから生成したアモルファス酸化チタンを塩酸水溶液や硫酸水溶液中で72〜2400時間熟成させた後、洗浄し乾燥させてルチル型酸化チタン微粒子を得るものである。
特開平7−291629号公報(特許請求の範囲、実施例)
As a method of obtaining fine-particle rutile titanium oxide, JP-A-7-291629 discloses a method of converting ultrafine amorphous titanium oxide into ultrafine rutile titanium oxide by aging in an inorganic acid aqueous solution. It is disclosed. Specifically, amorphous titanium oxide generated from an organic titanium compound or titanium tetrachloride is aged in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution or an aqueous sulfuric acid solution for 72 to 2400 hours, and then washed and dried to obtain rutile-type titanium oxide fine particles. .
JP-A-7-291629 (Claims, Examples)

特開平7−291629号公報記載の方法によれば、得られた酸化チタン微粒子中にはルチル型結晶は含まれるものの、全体のルチル化率は必ずしも高くなく、より一層の改善が望まれていた。また、このような方法では、製造に長時間を要し、また工程も煩雑であり生産性が低く、実際に工業的には採用し難いという問題がある。   According to the method described in JP-A-7-291629, the obtained titanium oxide fine particles contain rutile crystals, but the overall rutile ratio is not necessarily high, and further improvement has been desired. . In addition, such a method has a problem that it takes a long time for production, the process is complicated, the productivity is low, and it is actually difficult to adopt industrially.

また、比表面積が比較的大きい微粒子の酸化チタン粉末は従来から知られているものの、これらの酸化チタン粉末はルチル型とアナターゼ型の混合物であって、比表面積が30m/g以上の場合にはルチル含有率(またはルチル化率)は約70%以下であった。このように通常酸化チタン粉末はルチルとアナターゼの混合体であるため、粒度分布が比較的広いものであった。 Further, although fine titanium oxide powders having a relatively large specific surface area have been conventionally known, these titanium oxide powders are a mixture of a rutile type and an anatase type, and the specific surface area is 30 m 2 / g or more. The rutile content (or rutile ratio) was about 70% or less. Thus, since titanium oxide powder is usually a mixture of rutile and anatase, the particle size distribution was relatively wide.

一方、積層セラミックコンデンサの誘電体材料に用いられるチタン酸バリウムなどの原料に酸化チタン粉末が用いられる場合、誘電体粉末の粒径および粒度分布は、使用する酸化チタンの粒度また粒度分布に依存することが知られている。近年の小型化、高容量化のため、積層セラミックコンデンサの積層数は年々増加し、誘電体層および電極層は薄層化している。したがって、用いられる酸化チタン粉末は、より粒径が小さくかつ粒度分布の狭い粉末が要求されている。また、粉末の溶媒に対する分散性も重要であり、この点からも粒度分布の狭い粉末が要求されている。   On the other hand, when titanium oxide powder is used as a raw material such as barium titanate used for the dielectric material of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, the particle size and particle size distribution of the dielectric powder depend on the particle size and particle size distribution of the titanium oxide used. It is known. Due to the recent miniaturization and higher capacity, the number of laminated ceramic capacitors has increased year by year, and the dielectric layers and electrode layers have become thinner. Therefore, the titanium oxide powder used is required to have a smaller particle size and a narrow particle size distribution. In addition, the dispersibility of the powder in the solvent is also important, and from this point, a powder having a narrow particle size distribution is required.

また、アナターゼ型酸化チタンはルチル型酸化チタンに比べて光活性が高く、光触媒材料に好適であることが知られている。このため、粒径が小さく、粒度分布が狭く、比表面積が大きい酸化チタン粉末であって、ルチル化率の高いルチル型酸化チタン粉末とルチル化率の低いアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末を任意に製造することのできる方法があれば、用途毎に製造条件を決定して効率的に目的物を得ることができて都合がよい。   Further, it is known that anatase-type titanium oxide has higher photoactivity than rutile-type titanium oxide and is suitable for a photocatalytic material. For this reason, a titanium oxide powder having a small particle size, a narrow particle size distribution, and a large specific surface area, and optionally producing a rutile titanium oxide powder having a high rutile ratio and an anatase titanium oxide powder having a low rutile ratio If there is a method that can be used, it is convenient to determine the manufacturing conditions for each application and efficiently obtain the target product.

従って、本発明の目的は、より粒径が小さく、粒度分布が狭く、比表面積が大きく、かつルチル化率の高いルチル型酸化チタン粉末、またルチル化率の低いアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末を任意に製造することのできる方法を提供することにある。   Therefore, the object of the present invention is to arbitrarily select a rutile type titanium oxide powder having a smaller particle size, a narrow particle size distribution, a large specific surface area and a high rutile ratio, and an anatase type titanium oxide powder having a low rutile ratio. It is to provide a method that can be manufactured.

本発明者は、上記従来技術に残された課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、四塩化チタンを気相状態下で加水分解あるいは酸化する気相法において、高比表面積であり、かつルチル化率を任意に制御し得る方法を見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the problems remaining in the prior art, the inventor has a high specific surface area in a gas phase method in which titanium tetrachloride is hydrolyzed or oxidized in a gas phase state, and The inventors have found a method capable of arbitrarily controlling the rutile ratio, and have completed the present invention.

即ち本発明は、四塩化チタンガス、酸素ガス、水素ガス及び水蒸気を気相状態下で反応させ酸化チタン粉末を製造する方法において、水蒸気の供給量を、四塩化チタンをすべて酸化する化学当量以上することを特徴とする酸化チタン粉末の製造方法を提供するものである。   That is, the present invention is a method for producing titanium oxide powder by reacting titanium tetrachloride gas, oxygen gas, hydrogen gas and water vapor in a gas phase state, and the supply amount of water vapor is equal to or higher than the chemical equivalent for oxidizing all titanium tetrachloride. The present invention provides a method for producing a titanium oxide powder.

本発明の酸化チタン粉末の製造方法は、比表面積が大きく微粒子であるにもかかわらずルチル化率の非常に高い酸化チタン粉末や、高比表面積のアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末を任意に製造でき、この方法で得られた酸化チタン粉末は、チタン酸バリウムなどの電子材料、紫外線遮蔽材料、光触媒材料、反射防止膜や高反射率が要求されるプラズマディスプレイなどのガラス基材へのコート材やフィラー材として有効である。   The method for producing a titanium oxide powder of the present invention can arbitrarily produce a titanium oxide powder having a very high rutile ratio and an anatase-type titanium oxide powder having a high specific surface area despite having a large specific surface area and fine particles. The titanium oxide powder obtained by the above method is used for coating materials and filler materials on glass substrates such as electronic materials such as barium titanate, ultraviolet shielding materials, photocatalytic materials, antireflection films and plasma displays that require high reflectivity. It is effective as

本発明の酸化チタン粉末の製造方法は、四塩化チタンガス、酸素ガス、水素ガス及び水蒸気を気相状態下で反応させ酸化チタン粉末を製造する方法において、水蒸気の供給量を、四塩化チタンをすべて酸化する化学当量以上とする。水蒸気の供給量が、四塩化チタンをすべて酸化する化学当量未満であると、酸化チタンの生成反応が均一に行われないため、生成した酸化チタンの結晶制御ができず、高比表面積でルチル化率の高い酸化チタン粉末や、高比表面積でアナターゼ型の酸化チタン粉末を得ることは難しい。   The titanium oxide powder production method of the present invention is a method of producing titanium oxide powder by reacting titanium tetrachloride gas, oxygen gas, hydrogen gas and water vapor in a gas phase state. Make all chemical equivalents or more to be oxidized. If the supply amount of water vapor is less than the chemical equivalent that oxidizes all titanium tetrachloride, the formation reaction of titanium oxide is not performed uniformly, so the crystal of the generated titanium oxide cannot be controlled, and the rutile is formed with a high specific surface area. It is difficult to obtain a titanium oxide powder having a high rate or an anatase type titanium oxide powder having a high specific surface area.

ここで、四塩化チタンをすべて酸化する化学当量とは、四塩化チタンを水蒸気のみで反応させる場合の水蒸気の化学当量を意味し、つまり四塩化チタン1モルに対して水蒸気(水)を2モルである。本発明の方法において、水蒸気は四塩化チタンに対して過剰、具体的には供給ガスを標準状態としたときガスの容量で四塩化チタンガスの10倍以上、好ましくは100倍以上の水蒸気を供給し反応させる。また、酸素の供給量についても、四塩化チタンをすべて酸化する化学当量以上(四塩化チタン1モルに対して酸素1モル)が好ましく、具体的には供給ガスを標準状態としたときガスの容量で四塩化チタンガスの10倍以上の酸素を供給し反応させる。   Here, the chemical equivalent that oxidizes all titanium tetrachloride means the chemical equivalent of water vapor when titanium tetrachloride is reacted only with water vapor, that is, 2 moles of water vapor (water) per mole of titanium tetrachloride. It is. In the method of the present invention, water vapor is excessive with respect to titanium tetrachloride. Specifically, when the supply gas is in a standard state, the gas volume is 10 times or more, preferably 100 times or more that of titanium tetrachloride gas. And react. Also, the supply amount of oxygen is preferably equal to or more than the chemical equivalent for oxidizing all of titanium tetrachloride (1 mol of oxygen with respect to 1 mol of titanium tetrachloride). Specifically, the gas volume when the supply gas is in a standard state In this step, oxygen is supplied at a rate 10 times or more that of titanium tetrachloride gas.

上記各成分の反応部への供給量比であるが、各供給ガスが標準状態としたとき四塩化チタン1l(ガス)に対する水素ガス、酸素ガスおよび水蒸気の供給量は表1のとおりである。   Table 1 shows the supply ratio of hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and water vapor to 1 l (gas) of titanium tetrachloride when each supply gas is in a standard state.

Figure 2005104796
上記各原料ガスの供給量は、反応スケールあるいは各ガスを供給するノズル径等により異なるので適宜設定するが、反応部での各ガス、特に四塩化チタンガスの供給速度は乱流域になるように設定することが望ましい。また、供給する上記の各成分をアルゴンや窒素のごとき不活性ガスで希釈し反応部に供給し反応させることもできる。以上のように本発明の方法では、四塩化チタンに対して水素ガス、酸素ガスおよび水蒸気の供給量を上記のような範囲に設定して反応を行うことによって、高比表面積でかつルチル化率の高い酸化チタン粉末およびルチル化率の低いアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末を得ることができる。
Figure 2005104796
The supply amount of each source gas varies depending on the reaction scale or the nozzle diameter for supplying each gas, etc., and is set as appropriate. It is desirable to set. Further, each of the above components to be supplied can be diluted with an inert gas such as argon or nitrogen and supplied to the reaction section to be reacted. As described above, in the method of the present invention, the reaction is performed by setting the supply amounts of hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, and water vapor to titanium tetrachloride in the above ranges, thereby achieving a high specific surface area and a rutile ratio. High titanium oxide powder and anatase-type titanium oxide powder with a low rutile ratio can be obtained.

また、上記の四塩化チタンガス、酸素ガス、水素ガス及び水蒸気を反応部に供給する際に、予め加熱して供給して反応させることが望ましく、具体的には300〜1200℃、好ましくは450〜950℃に加熱する。   Moreover, when supplying said titanium tetrachloride gas, oxygen gas, hydrogen gas, and water vapor | steam to a reaction part, it is desirable to heat and supply beforehand and to make it react, specifically 300-1200 degreeC, Preferably it is 450. Heat to ~ 950 ° C.

次いで反応させ酸化チタン粉末を生成させるが、このような酸化チタン粉末を気相反応で形成するためには、酸化チタンが生成する温度以上であり、具体的には、900℃以下、好ましくは400〜900℃、特に好ましくは450〜850℃である。   Next, a titanium oxide powder is produced by reaction, and in order to form such a titanium oxide powder by a gas phase reaction, the temperature is higher than the temperature at which titanium oxide is produced, specifically 900 ° C. or less, preferably 400 It is -900 degreeC, Most preferably, it is 450-850 degreeC.

本発明において上述した各供給ガスの予熱温度および反応温度を制御することによって、生成される酸化チタン粉末のルチル化率(ルチル含有率)を制御することができる。具体的には、ルチル化率80%以上のように高い酸化チタン粉末を製造する場合、予熱温度が750〜950℃で反応温度は750〜900℃で行い、ルチル化率20%以下のようにルチル化率の低いアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末を製造する場合、予熱温度が400〜700℃で反応温度は450〜700℃で行う。   By controlling the preheating temperature and reaction temperature of each supply gas described above in the present invention, the rutile ratio (rutile content) of the titanium oxide powder produced can be controlled. Specifically, when producing a titanium oxide powder having a high rutile ratio of 80% or more, the preheating temperature is 750 to 950 ° C., the reaction temperature is 750 to 900 ° C., and the rutile ratio is 20% or less. When producing anatase-type titanium oxide powder having a low rutile ratio, the preheating temperature is 400 to 700 ° C and the reaction temperature is 450 to 700 ° C.

上記のように各成分を反応させ酸化チタン粉末を生成させた後、生成粒子の凝集を防ぐために、少なくとも酸化チタン粒子が焼成する温度以下、具体的には300℃未満まで可及的速やかに冷却を行う。   After producing the titanium oxide powder by reacting each component as described above, at least below the temperature at which the titanium oxide particles are baked, specifically, cooling to less than 300 ° C. as quickly as possible in order to prevent aggregation of the produced particles. I do.

上記のように得られた酸化チタン粉末は、その後粉末に含まれる塩化水素などの塩素分を加熱処理などにより除去し、必要に応じて分級あるいは篩分を行う。   From the titanium oxide powder obtained as described above, the chlorine content such as hydrogen chloride contained in the powder is then removed by heat treatment or the like, and classification or sieving is performed as necessary.

以下本発明の酸化チタン粉末を製造する具体的なプロセスの一例を示す。先ず、液状の四塩化チタンを予め500〜900℃に加熱し、気化させ、必要に応じて窒素ガスで希釈し反応炉に導入する。四塩化チタンの導入と同時に、予め500〜900℃加熱した酸素ガス、水素ガスおよび水蒸気を必要に応じて窒素ガスで希釈して反応炉に導入し、酸化反応を行うが反応温度は通常450〜900℃、好ましくは500〜900℃である。本発明の酸化チタン粉末を得るためにはこのように比較的低温で酸化反応を行うことが望ましい。生成した酸化チタン粉末を冷却部に導入し、空気などの冷却ガスを酸化チタン粉末に接触させ、酸化チタン粉末を300℃以下に冷却する。その後生成した酸化チタン粉末を捕集し、酸化チタン粉末中に残留する塩素分を、真空加熱、空気あるいは窒素ガス雰囲気中での加熱あるいはスチーム処理等の加熱処理あるいはアルコールとの接触処理により除去し、本発明の酸化チタン粉末を得ることができる。   An example of a specific process for producing the titanium oxide powder of the present invention is shown below. First, liquid titanium tetrachloride is preliminarily heated to 500 to 900 ° C., vaporized, diluted with nitrogen gas as necessary, and introduced into the reactor. Simultaneously with the introduction of titanium tetrachloride, oxygen gas, hydrogen gas and water vapor previously heated at 500 to 900 ° C. are diluted with nitrogen gas as necessary and introduced into the reaction furnace to carry out the oxidation reaction, but the reaction temperature is usually 450 to 900 ° C, preferably 500 to 900 ° C. In order to obtain the titanium oxide powder of the present invention, it is desirable to carry out the oxidation reaction at a relatively low temperature as described above. The produced titanium oxide powder is introduced into the cooling section, a cooling gas such as air is brought into contact with the titanium oxide powder, and the titanium oxide powder is cooled to 300 ° C. or lower. Thereafter, the produced titanium oxide powder is collected, and the chlorine remaining in the titanium oxide powder is removed by vacuum heating, heating in air or nitrogen gas atmosphere, heating treatment such as steam treatment, or contact treatment with alcohol. The titanium oxide powder of the present invention can be obtained.

気相法によりルチル型酸化チタン粉末を得る場合、750〜950℃のような比較的高い温度条件で製造することによって、酸化チタン粉末を無機酸水溶液中で熟成するなどのアナターゼ型酸化チタンをルチル化する工程を別途行わなくとも、高い比表面積を有するルチル型酸化チタン粉末を効率よく製造することができる。また、450〜700℃のような比較的低い温度条件で製造することによって、効率よく高比表面積のアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末を製造することができる。   When obtaining rutile type titanium oxide powder by a vapor phase method, rutile type anatase type titanium oxide such as aging titanium oxide powder in an inorganic acid aqueous solution by producing it at a relatively high temperature condition such as 750 to 950 ° C. Even without performing a separate step, the rutile type titanium oxide powder having a high specific surface area can be efficiently produced. In addition, anatase-type titanium oxide powder having a high specific surface area can be efficiently produced by producing it at a relatively low temperature condition such as 450 to 700 ° C.

本発明の方法で得られた酸化チタン粉末は、ルチル型酸化チタン粉末の場合、ルチル化率が80%以上であり、好ましくは85%以上、より好ましくは90%以上である。ルチル化率がこのような高い範囲であれば、例えば紫外線遮蔽効果や高屈折率などの光学的特性や高誘電特性などの電気特性において優れた性能を発揮する。またアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末の場合、ルチル化率は20%以下、好ましくは15%以下、より好ましくは5%以下である。ルチル化率がこのような低い範囲であれば、例えば光触媒材料などに好適である。   In the case of the rutile type titanium oxide powder, the titanium oxide powder obtained by the method of the present invention has a rutile ratio of 80% or more, preferably 85% or more, more preferably 90% or more. When the rutile ratio is in such a high range, excellent performance is exhibited in optical characteristics such as ultraviolet shielding effect and high refractive index, and electrical characteristics such as high dielectric characteristics. In the case of anatase-type titanium oxide powder, the rutile ratio is 20% or less, preferably 15% or less, more preferably 5% or less. If the rutile ratio is in such a low range, it is suitable for a photocatalyst material, for example.

ここで、ルチル化率の測定方法は、ASTM D3720-84の方法に従いX線回折測定を行い、ルチル型結晶酸化チタンの最強回折線(面指数110)のピーク面積(Ir)と、アナターゼ型結晶酸化チタンの最強回折線(面指数101)のピーク面積(Ia)を求め、次式により算出して求められる。
ルチル化率(重量%)=100−100/(1+1.2×Ir/Ia)
式中、前記ピーク面積(Ir)及びピーク面積(Ia)は、X線回折スペクトルの該当回折線におけるベースラインから突出した部分の面積をいい、その算出方法は公知の方法で行えばよく、例えば、コンピュータ計算、近似三角形化などの手法により求められる。
Here, the measurement method of the rutile ratio is X-ray diffraction measurement according to the method of ASTM D3720-84, the peak area (Ir) of the strongest diffraction line (surface index 110) of rutile-type crystalline titanium oxide, and anatase-type crystal The peak area (Ia) of the strongest diffraction line (surface index 101) of titanium oxide is obtained and calculated by the following formula.
Rutile ratio (% by weight) = 100-100 / (1 + 1.2 × Ir / Ia)
In the formula, the peak area (Ir) and the peak area (Ia) refer to the area of the portion protruding from the base line in the corresponding diffraction line of the X-ray diffraction spectrum, and the calculation method may be performed by a known method. , Computer computation, approximate triangulation, and the like.

また本発明の製造方法で得られた酸化チタン粉末のBET比表面積は10m/g以上、好ましくは30m/g以上、より好ましくは35m/g以上である。BET比表面積が10m/g以上であれば、酸化チタン粉末の粒径が小さいものが得られる。 The BET specific surface area of the titanium oxide powder obtained by the production method of the present invention is 10 m 2 / g or more, preferably 30 m 2 / g or more, more preferably 35 m 2 / g or more. When the BET specific surface area is 10 m 2 / g or more, a titanium oxide powder having a small particle size can be obtained.

さらに、当該酸化チタン粉末は不純物のきわめて少ない高純度であることが望ましく、酸化チタン粉末中に含まれるFe、Al、SiおよびNaが各々100ppm未満でありかつClが1000ppm未満である。望ましくはFe、Al、SiおよびNaが各々20ppm未満であり、Clが500ppm未満、さらに望ましくは50ppm未満である。   Further, it is desirable that the titanium oxide powder has a high purity with very few impurities, Fe, Al, Si and Na contained in the titanium oxide powder are each less than 100 ppm and Cl is less than 1000 ppm. Desirably, Fe, Al, Si and Na are each less than 20 ppm, Cl is less than 500 ppm, and more desirably less than 50 ppm.

If the particle size of the titanium oxide powder is so small, for example, the number of laminated ceramic capacitors can be increased and the dielectric layer and the electrode layer can be made thinner.

本発明の酸化チタン粉末の製造方法では、比表面積が大きく微粒子であるにもかかわらずルチル化率の非常に高い酸化チタン粉末や、高比表面積のアナターゼ型酸化チタン粉末を任意に製造することができ、これらの酸化チタン粉末は粒度分布が狭くさらに高純度であるので、チタン酸バリウムなどの電子材料用に用いた場合、誘電特性などの電気特性に優れるという利点を有する。   In the method for producing a titanium oxide powder of the present invention, it is possible to arbitrarily produce a titanium oxide powder having a very high rutile ratio or an anatase-type titanium oxide powder having a high specific surface area despite having a large specific surface area and fine particles. These titanium oxide powders have a narrow particle size distribution and higher purity, and therefore have an advantage of excellent electrical characteristics such as dielectric characteristics when used for electronic materials such as barium titanate.

次に、実施例を挙げて本発明を更に具体的に説明するが、これは単に例示であって本発明を制限するものではない。   EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. However, this is merely an example and does not limit the present invention.
