Description

本発明は、水に容易に溶解し得る炭酸カルシウム粉末の製造方法及びその方法により得られる新規炭酸カルシウム粉末に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a calcium carbonate powder that can be easily dissolved in water, and a novel calcium carbonate powder obtained by the method.

石灰乳化法により得られる軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末は、水系塗料、水性インキなどの体質顔料や、ゴム、プラスチック、紙などの充填剤や、制酸剤、食品添加剤、化粧品添加剤として広く用いられている。   Light calcium carbonate powder obtained by the lime emulsification method is widely used as extender pigments such as water-based paints and water-based inks, fillers such as rubber, plastic and paper, antacids, food additives and cosmetic additives. Yes.

ところで、この軽質炭酸カルシウムの乾燥粉末を調製する方法としては、水酸化カルシウムの水懸濁液と二酸化炭素とを5〜30℃で反応させてカルサイト型炭酸カルシウムの一次粒子を形成させ、次いでこれを噴霧乾燥して比表面積20m2/g以上の球状カルサイト型炭酸カルシウム二次粒子を調製する方法(特許文献1参照)、平均粒径0.1〜100μmの範囲の炭酸カルシウム粉体粒子5〜20重量%と、その粉体粒子の1〜40重量%の分散剤を含む炭酸カルシウムエマルションをスプレードライヤー乾燥又は凍結乾燥して、見掛け比重0.4g/ml以上の粉体とする方法(特許文献2参照)などが知られている。 By the way, as a method of preparing this dry powder of light calcium carbonate, an aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide are reacted at 5 to 30 ° C. to form primary particles of calcite type calcium carbonate, A method for preparing spherical calcite-type calcium carbonate secondary particles having a specific surface area of 20 m 2 / g or more by spray drying (see Patent Document 1), calcium carbonate powder particles having an average particle size of 0.1 to 100 μm A method of producing a powder having an apparent specific gravity of 0.4 g / ml or more by spray drying or freeze-drying a calcium carbonate emulsion containing 5 to 20% by weight and a dispersant of 1 to 40% by weight of the powder particles ( Patent Document 2) is known.

しかしながら、これらの方法で調製された軽質炭酸カルシウムは、乾燥時に凝集するため、粉体を再溶解分散させる場合、粒子が十分に分散せず、粒径も乾燥前のものよりも大きくなる傾向があり、また嵩密度も小さく、輸送や貯蔵が不利になるという欠点がある。   However, since the light calcium carbonate prepared by these methods aggregates during drying, when the powder is re-dissolved and dispersed, the particles are not sufficiently dispersed and the particle size tends to be larger than that before drying. In addition, the bulk density is small, and there is a disadvantage that transportation and storage are disadvantageous.

他方、炭酸カルシウム粉末の分散性を改善する方法として、スラリー状の炭酸カルシウムを親水性乳化剤の水溶液と混合し、この混合物を脱水処理したのち、真空下に乾燥することにより、分散性の良好な炭酸カルシウム複合体を製造する方法(特許文献3参照)が提案されているが、この方法は、炭酸カルシウム以外の成分を含むため、利用分野が制限される上、ショ糖脂肪酸エステルのような特殊な親水性乳化剤を用いるためにコスト的にも不利になるのを免れない。   On the other hand, as a method for improving the dispersibility of the calcium carbonate powder, slurry-like calcium carbonate is mixed with an aqueous solution of a hydrophilic emulsifier, this mixture is dehydrated, and then dried under vacuum to achieve good dispersibility. A method for producing a calcium carbonate complex (see Patent Document 3) has been proposed. However, since this method includes components other than calcium carbonate, the field of use is limited and special methods such as sucrose fatty acid esters are used. Since a hydrophilic emulsifier is used, it is inevitable that the cost is disadvantageous.

本発明は、このような事情のもとで、従来の軽質炭酸カルシウムの製造方法における欠点を克服し、簡単な手段により効率よく水への溶解性が良好な軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末を製造する方法を提供することを目的としてなされたものである。   Under such circumstances, the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of conventional light calcium carbonate production methods, and provides a method for producing light calcium carbonate powder having good water solubility by simple means. It was made for the purpose of providing.

本発明者らは、易溶性軽質炭酸カルシウムの製造方法について種々研究を重ねた結果、従来方法において製造された軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末の水への溶解性が良好でないのは、乾燥を気流中で行うため、乾燥時に10μm以下の小さな凝集体が発生し、乾燥物として得られる二次凝集粒子中の空隙に空気が取り込まれ、それが水への溶解を妨げていること、したがって、乾燥の際、二次凝集粒子中に空気が取り込まれるのを抑制すれば、溶解しやすい軽質炭酸カルシウム粒子が得られること、それには気流乾燥を用いずに、加熱した固体面に粒子を直接接触させる乾燥方法をとればよいことを見出し、この知見に基づいて本発明をなすに至った。   The inventors of the present invention have conducted various studies on a method for producing easily soluble light calcium carbonate. As a result, the light solubility of light calcium carbonate powder produced by the conventional method is not good. Therefore, a small aggregate of 10 μm or less is generated at the time of drying, and air is taken into the voids in the secondary aggregated particles obtained as a dried product, which prevents the dissolution in water. If air is prevented from being taken into the secondary agglomerated particles, light calcium carbonate particles that are easy to dissolve can be obtained. Based on this finding, the present inventors have made the present invention.

すなわち、本発明は、軽質炭酸カルシウム粉体から、その高濃度分散スラリーを調製し、加熱した固体面に直接接触させることにより、乾燥させることを特徴とする易溶性軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末の製造方法、及びその方法により得られる平均粒径1μm未満の一次粒子が凝集して平均粒径10〜50μmで見掛け密度0.5g/cm3以上、及び細孔容積1.0cm3/g以下の二次凝集粒子を形成してなる軽質炭酸カルシウム乾燥粉末を提供するものである。ここで平均粒径とはメジアン径を意味する。 That is, the present invention is a method for producing a readily soluble light calcium carbonate powder, characterized in that a high-concentration dispersed slurry is prepared from light calcium carbonate powder and dried by direct contact with a heated solid surface, And primary particles obtained by the method having an average particle size of less than 1 μm aggregate to have an average particle size of 10 to 50 μm, an apparent density of 0.5 g / cm 3 or more, and a pore volume of 1.0 cm 3 / g or less. The present invention provides a light calcium carbonate dry powder formed with particles. Here, the average particle diameter means the median diameter.

軽質炭酸カルシウムは、水酸化カルシウムの水性懸濁液に二酸化炭素を導入して炭酸化反応を行わせて、炭酸カルシウムを生成させ、沈降させることによって製造される。このようにして得られる軽質炭酸カルシウムには、その製造条件によってカルサイト型、アラゴナイト型及びパテライト型の3種の結晶構造を有するものを生じるが、本発明方法においては、そのいずれも用いることができる。この軽質炭酸カルシウムは平均粒径1μm未満、好ましくは0.1〜0.5μmの一次粒子からなる粉末として用いる。   Light calcium carbonate is produced by introducing carbon dioxide into an aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide to cause a carbonation reaction to produce and precipitate calcium carbonate. The light calcium carbonate thus obtained has three types of crystal structures of calcite type, aragonite type and patelite type depending on the production conditions, and any of them can be used in the method of the present invention. it can. This light calcium carbonate is used as a powder composed of primary particles having an average particle size of less than 1 μm, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 μm.

本発明方法においては、先ず原料の軽質炭酸カルシウムを水に加え、再分散処理して、高濃度水性スラリーを調製する。この水性スラリーの濃度としては、50質量%以上、好ましくは60質量%以上が選ばれる。この水性スラリーの調製は、分散剤なしで行ってもよいし、分散剤を用いて行ってもよい。   In the method of the present invention, first, light calcium carbonate as a raw material is added to water and redispersed to prepare a highly concentrated aqueous slurry. The concentration of this aqueous slurry is 50% by mass or more, preferably 60% by mass or more. This aqueous slurry may be prepared without a dispersant or with a dispersant.

この分散剤としては、軽質炭酸カルシウムの水性スラリーを調製する際に慣用されているものの中から任意に選んで用いることができる。このような分散剤としては、例えばポリアクリル酸ナトリウム、ショ糖脂肪酸エステル、グリセリン脂肪酸エステル、アクリル酸−マレイン酸共重合体アンモニウム塩、メタクリル酸−ナフトキシポリエチレングリコールアクリレート共重合体、メタクリル酸−ポリエチレングリコールモノメタクリレート共重合体アンモニウム塩、ポリエチレングリコールモノアクリレートなどがある。これらは、単独で用いてもよいし、また2種以上を組み合わせて用いてもよい。
これらの分散剤を用いる場合には、軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末100質量部当り、0.1〜5質量部、好ましくは0.5〜2質量部の割合で添加される。
The dispersant can be arbitrarily selected from those commonly used when preparing an aqueous slurry of light calcium carbonate. Examples of such a dispersant include sodium polyacrylate, sucrose fatty acid ester, glycerin fatty acid ester, acrylic acid-maleic acid copolymer ammonium salt, methacrylic acid-naphthoxypolyethylene glycol acrylate copolymer, methacrylic acid-polyethylene. Examples include glycol monomethacrylate copolymer ammonium salts and polyethylene glycol monoacrylate. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
When these dispersants are used, they are added at a ratio of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 2 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of light calcium carbonate powder.

本発明方法においては、上記の軽質炭酸カルシウムの高濃度水性スラリーを乾燥して粉体を形成させるが、この乾燥は、水性スラリーを加熱した固体面に直接接触させ、急速に水分を除去することにより行うことが必要である。この加熱面に直接接触させて行う乾燥は、例えばドラムドライヤー、ディスクドライヤーのような円筒型乾燥機を用いる方法、ホットプレート上で転動させる方法などによって行うことができるが、特にスラリーの撹拌、混合を効率的にするディスク状の熱交換面を備えた乾燥機(特開平9−324986号公報参照)を用いて行うのが好ましい。
この際の加熱した固体面の温度としては100〜200℃、好ましくは110〜150℃の範囲が選ばれる。
In the method of the present invention, the light calcium carbonate high-concentration aqueous slurry is dried to form a powder. This drying is performed by bringing the aqueous slurry into direct contact with a heated solid surface and rapidly removing moisture. It is necessary to do this. The drying performed by direct contact with the heating surface can be performed by a method using a cylindrical dryer such as a drum dryer or a disk dryer, a method of rolling on a hot plate, etc. It is preferable to use a drier (see JP-A-9-324986) having a disk-shaped heat exchange surface for efficient mixing.
The temperature of the heated solid surface at this time is selected in the range of 100 to 200 ° C, preferably 110 to 150 ° C.

このようにして、見掛け密度0.5g/cm3以上、かつ細孔容積1.0cm3/g以下をもつ、平均粒径1μm未満の一次粒子の凝集した平均粒径10〜50μmの二次凝集粒子からなる易溶性軽質炭酸カルシウム乾燥粉末が得られる。 In this way, secondary agglomeration with an average particle diameter of 10 to 50 μm in which primary particles having an apparent density of 0.5 g / cm 3 or more and a pore volume of 1.0 cm 3 / g or less and an average particle diameter of less than 1 μm are aggregated. An easily soluble light calcium carbonate dry powder consisting of particles is obtained.

これまでの方法で得られる軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末の見掛け密度は、0.5g/cm3未満、通常は0.17〜0.38g/cm3程度であり、見掛け密度0.5g/cm3以上のものを得ることは困難であった。それは従来の軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末の製造に際しては、炭酸カルシウム水性スラリーの乾燥方法として用いられている噴霧乾燥、凍結乾燥はいずれも空気のようなガス気流中で行われており、乾燥時に一次粒子が凝集して、平均粒径10〜50μmの二次凝集粒子が形成する際、一次粒子間の空隙に雰囲気中のガス、例えば空気が取り込まれ、軽質炭酸カルシウムを水に投入した場合、その空隙中のガスが水の浸入を妨げる結果、水への溶解性が低下するためであった。 The apparent density of the light calcium carbonate powder obtained in previous methods, less than 0.5 g / cm 3, typically is about 0.17~0.38g / cm 3, an apparent density of 0.5 g / cm 3 or more It was difficult to get things. In the production of conventional light calcium carbonate powder, spray drying and freeze drying, both of which are used as drying methods for calcium carbonate aqueous slurry, are performed in a gas stream such as air. When secondary agglomerated particles having an average particle diameter of 10 to 50 μm are formed by aggregation, gas in the atmosphere, for example, air is taken into the gaps between the primary particles, and light calcium carbonate is poured into water. This was because the gas in the water hindered the intrusion of water, resulting in a decrease in water solubility.

本発明方法においては、気流ガス粒子中に取り込まれるのを極力避けるために、軽質炭酸カルシウムの高濃度水性スラリーを直接加熱した固体面に接触させ、雰囲気中のガスが一次粒子間空隙に取り込まれない条件下で脱水し、乾燥する。この乾燥に際しては、雰囲気中のガスに取り込まれるのをできるだけ避けるために真空条件下で行うのも有利である。   In the method of the present invention, in order to avoid being taken into the airflow gas particles as much as possible, a high-concentration aqueous slurry of light calcium carbonate is brought into contact with the directly heated solid surface, and the gas in the atmosphere is taken into the primary interparticle voids. Dehydrate and dry under no conditions. It is also advantageous to perform this drying under vacuum conditions in order to avoid as much as possible being taken in by the gas in the atmosphere.

このようにして、含水率1.0質量%以下、好ましくは0.5質量%以下、細孔容積1.0cm3/g以下、好ましくは0.8cm3/g以下の二次凝集粒子からなる、水に易溶性の軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末が得られる。そして、このようにして得られた軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末は、従来のガス気流中乾燥により得られたものが、見掛け密度0.5g/cm3未満という低密度であるのに対し、見掛け密度0.5g/cm3以上、多くの場合0.65g/cm3又はそれ以上という高密度のものとなる。 In this way, it consists of secondary aggregated particles having a water content of 1.0% by mass or less, preferably 0.5% by mass or less, and a pore volume of 1.0 cm 3 / g or less, preferably 0.8 cm 3 / g or less. A light calcium carbonate powder that is readily soluble in water is obtained. The light calcium carbonate powder thus obtained is obtained by conventional drying in a gas stream, while the apparent density is less than 0.5 g / cm 3 , whereas the apparent density is 0.00. The density is 5 g / cm 3 or more, and in many cases 0.65 g / cm 3 or more.

本発明によれば、水中に投入した時、従来のものに比べ、約1/4という短時間で溶解する易溶解性軽質炭酸カルシウム粉末を簡単に得ることができる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to easily obtain an easily soluble light calcium carbonate powder that dissolves in a short time of about 1/4 when compared with conventional ones when put into water.

次に、実施例により、本発明を実施するための最良の形態を説明するが、本発明は、これによりなんら限定されるものではない。   Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

When charging this powder into water, if a large amount is added at once, the fluidity of the slurry will be significantly reduced and the dispersion process will be insufficient, so be careful not to decrease the fluidity of the powder slurry. It was thrown in gradually.
Table 1 shows the charging time of each powder and the physical properties of the obtained slurry. Table 2 shows the changes in the redispersion treatment time and the average particle size.

これらの表から、本発明方法により得られた粉体(実施例1)は、従来方法で得られた粉体(比較例1)に比べ、5分の1の時間で投入が完了しており、また再分散の処理時間も短かくなっているので、易溶性であることが分かる。   From these tables, the powder obtained by the method of the present invention (Example 1) was completely charged in one-fifth as compared with the powder obtained by the conventional method (Comparative Example 1). Also, since the redispersion processing time is shortened, it can be seen that it is easily soluble.

参考例4
実施例2及び比較例2で得た炭酸カルシウム乾燥粉体を参考例3と同様にして再分散処理し、固形分濃度71.0質量%の分散スラリーを得た。
この際、比較例2の粉体に対しては、分散剤としてポリアクリル酸ナトリウム1.2質量%を添加した。
このようにして得たスラリーの物性を表3に、また再分散処理時間と平均粒径の変化を表4に示す。
Reference example 4
The calcium carbonate dry powder obtained in Example 2 and Comparative Example 2 was redispersed in the same manner as in Reference Example 3 to obtain a dispersion slurry having a solid content concentration of 71.0% by mass.
At this time, 1.2% by mass of sodium polyacrylate was added as a dispersant to the powder of Comparative Example 2.
The physical properties of the slurry thus obtained are shown in Table 3, and the changes in redispersion treatment time and average particle diameter are shown in Table 4.

これらの表から、本発明方法により得られた粉体(実施例2)は、従来方法で得られた粉体(比較例2)に比べ、4分の1の時間で投入が完了しており、また、再分散の処理時間も短かくなっているので、易溶性であることが分かる。   From these tables, the powder obtained by the method of the present invention (Example 2) was completely charged in a quarter of the time compared to the powder obtained by the conventional method (Comparative Example 2). Moreover, since the processing time of redispersion is shortened, it turns out that it is easily soluble.
