Description
本発明はガソリンエンジン、ディーゼルエンジン等の内燃機関から排出される排気ガス浄化装置(排気ガス浄化用触媒コンバータ又は単に触媒コンバータと呼ばれる)に組み込まれる触媒担体を金属容器内に保持するための触媒担体保持材に関する。 The present invention relates to a catalyst carrier for holding a catalyst carrier incorporated in an exhaust gas purification device (referred to as an exhaust gas purification catalytic converter or simply a catalytic converter) discharged from an internal combustion engine such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine in a metal container. It relates to a holding material.
自動車等の車両には、周知の如く、そのエンジンの排気ガス中に含まれる一酸化炭素、炭化水素、窒素酸化物等の有害成分を除去するために、触媒コンバータが積載されている。
触媒コンバータは金属容器、触媒担体、触媒担体保持材により構成されている。
触媒担体は、エンジンの排気ガス中に含まれる一酸化炭素、炭化水素、窒素酸化物等の有害成分を除去するために持ちられ、例えばコージェライト等からなる円筒状のハニカム状成形体に貴金属触媒等が担持されたものが一般的である。
触媒担体保持材は、触媒担体と金属容器の間に触媒担体を巻きつけるように搭載される。触媒担体保持材は触媒担体と金属容器の間を排気ガスが洩れ出ることを防止し、また自動車走行中の振動により触媒担体と金属容器が直接接触し触媒担体が損傷することを防止するために用いられる。
触媒担体保持材はアルミナ繊維やムライト繊維あるいはその他のセラミック繊維等の無機繊維を有機バインダーを用いて所定厚さのマット状に成形したものが主流となっている。
As is well known, vehicles such as automobiles are loaded with a catalytic converter in order to remove harmful components such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas of the engine.
The catalytic converter includes a metal container, a catalyst carrier, and a catalyst carrier holding material.
The catalyst carrier is used to remove harmful components such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas of the engine. For example, a noble metal catalyst is formed on a cylindrical honeycomb-shaped formed body made of cordierite. Etc. are generally supported.
The catalyst carrier holding material is mounted so that the catalyst carrier is wound between the catalyst carrier and the metal container. The catalyst carrier holding material prevents the exhaust gas from leaking between the catalyst carrier and the metal container, and also prevents the catalyst carrier and the metal container from coming into direct contact with each other due to vibration during driving of the automobile and damaging the catalyst carrier. Used.
The catalyst carrier holding material is mainly formed by molding inorganic fibers such as alumina fibers, mullite fibers, or other ceramic fibers into a mat having a predetermined thickness using an organic binder.
触媒コンバータはまず触媒を担持した触媒担体の周囲に、触媒担体保持材であるマットを巻き付け、次いでこれを金属容器に収納する。
収納の方法は一般的には2通りある。ひとつは、あらかじめ2分割された金属容器の一方に触媒担体保持材を巻いた触媒担体を挿入し、もう片方で覆った後容器を固定具や溶接によって固定する方法であり、もうひとつは、筒型容器の片側の末端から触媒担体保持材を巻きつけた触媒担体を圧入する方法である。
いずれの方法でも触媒担体保持材を巻いた触媒担体を金属容器にスムーズに挿入するための検討がなされている。
The catalytic converter first wraps a mat, which is a catalyst carrier holding material, around a catalyst carrier carrying a catalyst, and then stores this in a metal container.
There are generally two ways of storage. One is a method in which a catalyst carrier with a catalyst carrier holding material is inserted into one of the two metal containers divided in advance and covered with the other, and then the container is fixed by a fixture or welding. This is a method of press-fitting a catalyst carrier around which a catalyst carrier holding material is wound from one end of the mold container.
In any method, studies have been made to smoothly insert a catalyst carrier wound with a catalyst carrier holding material into a metal container.
例えば特許文献1では触媒担体保持基材の上に有機不織布を配置し、さらにこの有機不織布に両面テープを貼り付けた後に、触媒担体の外周に上記両面テープを介して有機不織布及び触媒担体保持材を巻き付けて中間部品を作製し、次いで、この中間部品を筒型金属ケースの中へ圧入することを特徴とする触媒コンバータの製造方法を開示している。
特許文献2では触媒担体保持基材の表裏両面または外周を合成樹脂製フィルムで被覆した触媒保持材を触媒担体の外周に巻き付ける方法を開示している。
特許文献3では無機繊維製の基材と、基材の少なくとも金属容器側表面に形成され、25℃でのヤング率が0.3MPa以下である粘弾性層とを備えることを特徴とする触媒担体保持材が開示されている
For example, in Patent Document 1, an organic non-woven fabric is disposed on a catalyst carrier holding base material, and a double-sided tape is attached to the organic non-woven fabric. An intermediate part is manufactured by winding the intermediate part, and then the intermediate part is press-fitted into a cylindrical metal case.
Patent Document 2 discloses a method of winding a catalyst holding material in which the front and back surfaces or the outer periphery of a catalyst carrier holding base material is covered with a synthetic resin film around the outer circumference of the catalyst carrier.
In Patent Document 3, a catalyst carrier comprising an inorganic fiber base material and a viscoelastic layer formed on at least a metal container side surface of the base material and having a Young's modulus at 25 ° C. of 0.3 MPa or less. Retaining material is disclosed
触媒コンバータは製品として使用する前に、焼成処理して触媒担体保持材の有機バインダーを焼失する作業を行っている。このような焼成処理は、メーカーにとって大きな負担となっており、重要課題となっている。
一方有機バインダーを低減すると無機繊維の結束力が弱まって触媒コンバータ用保持材が厚くなりまた有機バインダー焼失後の保持力が低下する問題がある。また、有機バインダーの減少により強度が低下し触媒担体への巻きつけ時の触媒担体保持材の金属容器側表面の亀裂や繊維脱落が問題となる。また、触媒担体保持材を巻いた触媒担体を金属容器挿入時の摩擦係数の増大といった問題も考えられる。
Prior to use as a product, the catalytic converter is baked to burn off the organic binder of the catalyst carrier holding material. Such a baking process is a big burden for a manufacturer and is an important issue.
On the other hand, when the organic binder is reduced, there is a problem that the binding force of the inorganic fibers is weakened and the holding material for the catalytic converter becomes thick and the holding power after the organic binder is burnt down is lowered. Further, the strength decreases due to the reduction of the organic binder, and cracks on the surface of the metal carrier side of the catalyst carrier holding material and fiber dropout at the time of winding around the catalyst carrier become a problem. Further, there may be a problem that the coefficient of friction is increased when the catalyst carrier around which the catalyst carrier holding material is wound is inserted into the metal container.
特許文献1では、両面テープを貼り付ける必要があるので工程が増えてしまい作業性が非常に悪い。また,触媒担体保持材と触媒担体との接触面に,坪量の高い(坪量19g/cm3)ポリエチレン樹脂不織布をホットプレスで貼り付け,保持シール体−有機不織布の一体マットが形成される方法を開示しているが、この方法では坪量の高い材料を用いていることと、ポリエチレン樹脂不織布がホットプレスによりフィルム化してしまうため取り付け後の焼却処理で多大なエネルギーを必要とする。
特許文献2ではその表裏両面または外周を合成樹脂製フィルムで被覆した触媒担体保持材を触媒担体の外周に巻き付ける方法を開示しているが、特許文献1と同様フィルムで触媒担体保持材を被覆すると装填後焼失処理時に加熱空気の通路を塞ぐ為有機物の焼失に時間がかかる。
特許文献3では粘弾性層が粘着性を有するためその表面を低摩擦材料からなる平滑層が必要となる。さらに平滑層として極薄のフィルムを使用した場合摩擦係数の低減効果が低い。
そこで本発明は触媒担体保持基材と不織布を熱接着により固定し触媒担体保持材を容易に製造し、触媒担体保持材を金属容器にスムーズに挿入し、焼成処理して焼失する有機物を低減するとともにスムーズに有機物を排出することを課題とする。
In patent document 1, since it is necessary to affix a double-sided tape, a process increases and workability | operativity is very bad. Also, a high-basis weight (basis weight 19 g / cm 3 ) polyethylene resin nonwoven fabric is attached to the contact surface between the catalyst carrier holding material and the catalyst carrier with a hot press to form an integrated mat of the holding sealing body and the organic nonwoven fabric. Although the method is disclosed, in this method, a material having a high basis weight is used, and since the polyethylene resin nonwoven fabric is formed into a film by hot pressing, a large amount of energy is required for the incineration treatment after the attachment.
Patent Document 2 discloses a method of winding a catalyst carrier holding material whose front and back surfaces or outer periphery is covered with a synthetic resin film around the outer periphery of the catalyst carrier. It takes time to burn off organic substances because the passage of heated air is blocked during the burning process after loading.
In Patent Document 3, since the viscoelastic layer has adhesiveness, a smooth layer made of a low friction material is required on the surface thereof. Further, when an extremely thin film is used as the smooth layer, the effect of reducing the friction coefficient is low.
Therefore, the present invention fixes the catalyst carrier holding substrate and the nonwoven fabric by thermal bonding, easily manufactures the catalyst carrier holding material, smoothly inserts the catalyst carrier holding material into the metal container, and reduces the organic matter that is burned off by firing. At the same time, the issue is to discharge organic substances smoothly.
本発明者らは上記問題に鑑み鋭意検討した結果、触媒担体保持基材である無機繊維を含む繊維マットの少なくとも一面に熱融着繊維を含む通気性が良く低坪量の不織布を有する触媒担体保持材とすることにより上記問題が解決されることを見出し本発明に至った。
すなわち本発明の第1は、触媒担体を保持するためにその外周を覆う触媒担体保持材であって、無機繊維を含む繊維マットから構成される触媒担体保持基材の少なくとも一方の表面に熱融着繊維を含む不織布を有し、該不織布が通気度150cm3/(cm2・s)以上であることを特徴とする触媒担体保持材。
本発明の第2は、熱融着繊維を含む不織布の坪量が2g/m2以上8g/m2以下であることを特徴とする請求項1に記載の触媒担体保持材。
As a result of intensive studies in view of the above problems, the present inventors have found that a catalyst carrier having a non-woven fabric with good air permeability and low basis weight containing heat-sealing fibers on at least one surface of a fiber mat containing inorganic fibers as a catalyst carrier holding substrate. The present inventors have found that the above problems can be solved by using a holding material, and have reached the present invention.
That is, the first aspect of the present invention is a catalyst carrier holding material that covers the outer periphery of the catalyst carrier to hold the catalyst carrier, and is thermally fused to at least one surface of a catalyst carrier holding substrate composed of a fiber mat containing inorganic fibers. A catalyst carrier holding material comprising a nonwoven fabric containing attached fibers, wherein the nonwoven fabric has an air permeability of 150 cm 3 / (cm 2 · s) or more.
The second aspect of the present invention is the catalyst carrier holding material according to claim 1, wherein the basis weight of the nonwoven fabric containing the heat-sealing fibers is 2 g / m 2 or more and 8 g / m 2 or less.
本発明の第3は、熱融着繊維を含む不織布の厚みが10μm以上50μm以下であることを特徴とする請求項1又は請求項2に記載の触媒担体保持材。
本発明の第4は、熱融着繊維を含む不織布を構成する熱融着繊維成分として共重合ポリエステル、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレンの中から選ばれる少なくとも1種を20質量%から80質量%含むことを特徴とする請求項1から請求項3のいずれか1項に記載の触媒担体保持材。
The third aspect of the present invention is the catalyst carrier holding material according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the thickness of the nonwoven fabric containing the heat-sealing fibers is 10 μm or more and 50 μm or less.
4th of this invention is characterized by including 20 mass% to 80 mass% of at least 1 sort (s) chosen from copolymer polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene as a heat-fusion fiber component which comprises the nonwoven fabric containing a heat-fusion fiber. The catalyst carrier holding material according to any one of claims 1 to 3.
本発明の触媒担体保持材は、触媒担体保持基材である無機繊維を含む繊維マットの少なくとも一面に熱融着繊維を含む通気性が良く低坪量の不織布を有すること特徴とする触媒担体保持材である。熱融着繊維を含む通気性が良く低坪量の不織布を有することにより、無機繊維を含む繊維マットと不織布を熱接着により固定し触媒担体保持材を容易に製造できる。(保持材と不織布を張り合わせるための接着剤や両面テープが不要である)。不織布が触媒担体保持材と金属容器の摩擦を軽減するため触媒担体保持材を金属容器にスムーズに挿入することができる。不織布は坪量が非常に低く、フィルムと比較して通気性が高いため焼成処理して焼失する有機物を低減するとともにスムーズに有機物を排出するという効果を有するものである。 The catalyst carrier holding material of the present invention has a non-woven fabric with good air permeability and low basis weight containing heat-sealing fibers on at least one surface of a fiber mat containing inorganic fibers as a catalyst carrier holding substrate. It is a material. By having a non-woven fabric with good air permeability and low basis weight including heat-sealing fibers, a fiber mat containing inorganic fibers and the non-woven fabric can be fixed by thermal bonding to easily produce a catalyst carrier holding material. (No adhesive or double-sided tape is required to bond the holding material to the nonwoven fabric.) Since the nonwoven fabric reduces friction between the catalyst carrier holding material and the metal container, the catalyst carrier holding material can be smoothly inserted into the metal container. The nonwoven fabric has an extremely low basis weight and has high air permeability as compared with the film. Therefore, the nonwoven fabric has an effect of reducing the organic matter burned out by the baking treatment and discharging the organic matter smoothly.
以下、本発明について詳細に説明する。本発明に使用する触媒担体については公知のものが使用できる。また触媒担体保持材の基材としては、既存の基材を使用する。
