Description

本発明は、セラミックス、導電性ペースト、銀電池等に使用される酸化銀粉等の無機粉体に含有される高級脂肪酸の定量分析方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for quantitative analysis of higher fatty acids contained in inorganic powders such as silver oxide powders used in ceramics, conductive pastes, silver batteries and the like.

無機材の粉体である無機粉体は、産業上さまざまな用途において用いられている。無機粉体そのものも市場において流通される製品であるが、無機粉体を原料として成形品を製造するセラミックス製品、磁石製品、電池などがある。これらは、多種の機能別の粉体を混合してなる製品が殆どである。   Inorganic powders, which are inorganic powders, are used in various industrial applications. Inorganic powders themselves are products that are distributed in the market, but there are ceramic products, magnet products, batteries, etc. that manufacture molded products using inorganic powders as raw materials. Most of these products are made by mixing various types of powders according to function.

無機粉体は、何らかの有機物を表面処理剤として被覆されている。これは、表面処理剤によって無機粉体同士の固着を防止し分散性を高める目的や、無機粉体と他の樹脂などの材料との混合の際に、当該混合をし易くすることが目的である。
これらの有機物の表面処理剤の種類は他種多様であり、無機粉体の性状、使用目的用途によって設計・選択されている。
そして無機粉体の分散等を改善する表面処理剤として高級脂肪酸があり、様々な用途に用いられている。高級脂肪酸としては、ステアリン酸、オレイン酸、リノール酸などが代表的である。
The inorganic powder is coated with some organic substance as a surface treatment agent. This is for the purpose of preventing the adhesion between inorganic powders by the surface treatment agent and improving the dispersibility, and for the purpose of facilitating the mixing when mixing the inorganic powder and other resin materials. is there.
There are various types of surface treatment agents for these organic substances, and they are designed and selected according to the properties of inorganic powder and intended use.
Higher fatty acids are used as surface treatment agents for improving the dispersion of inorganic powders and are used in various applications. As the higher fatty acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and the like are typical.

高級脂肪酸は、上述した表面処理剤以外の目的にも用いられる場合がある。一方、無機粉体に所望特性を発揮させる為、複数の高級脂肪酸の混合や、高級脂肪酸と糖類、アルコール、有機酸とを混合する多種混合も用いられている。無機粉体において所望特性を得る為に、高級脂肪酸を始めとして用いられる有機物は、種類、量とも重要な管理項目として製造工程において管理されている。従って、無機粉体を始めとする各種製品に含まれる高級脂肪酸を始めとした有機物の量を定量することは、品質管理においては重要な事項である。また、各種製品開発においても、実際の製品における高級脂肪酸を始めとした有機酸の含有量をデータ化することは、試験水準を決定する上で重要な情報である。   The higher fatty acid may be used for purposes other than the surface treatment agent described above. On the other hand, in order to make inorganic powder exhibit desired characteristics, a mixture of a plurality of higher fatty acids and a variety of mixtures in which higher fatty acids are mixed with sugars, alcohols, and organic acids are also used. In order to obtain desired characteristics in the inorganic powder, organic substances such as higher fatty acids are managed in the production process as important management items in terms of both types and amounts. Therefore, quantifying the amount of organic substances such as higher fatty acids contained in various products including inorganic powder is an important matter in quality control. Also, in the development of various products, it is important information to determine the test level to make data on the content of organic acids such as higher fatty acids in actual products.

ここで高級脂肪酸を分析する方法としては、ガスクロマトグラフィー(本発明において「G.C」と記載する場合がある。)で分析可能な誘導体へ変化させた後、当該G.Cを用いて分析を行う方法がある(例えば、非特許文献1参照)。   Here, as a method of analyzing higher fatty acids, after changing to a derivative that can be analyzed by gas chromatography (in some cases, described as “GC” in the present invention), the G.C. There is a method of performing analysis using C (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

無機粉体を始めとする各種製品への、高級脂肪酸を始めとした有機物の添加量等は、添加時における装置の制御により管理できる。しかし、実際にどの程度の量の高級脂肪酸を始めとした有機物が無機粉体に含有されているかを定量しようとする際には、上述したように複数の有機物が混在する為、正確な定量分析をするための試料調整に長時間を費やす為、製造工程へのフィードバックには間に合わない。即ち、工程管理に利用しながら無機粉体に含有されている高級脂肪酸を定量分析する方法がなかった。

However, when quantifying how much organic fatty acids, including higher fatty acids, are actually contained in inorganic powders, multiple organic substances are mixed as described above, so accurate quantitative analysis Because it takes a long time to prepare the sample to perform, it is not in time for feedback to the manufacturing process. That is, there has been no method for quantitative analysis of higher fatty acids contained in inorganic powders while utilizing for process control.

本発明に係る無機粉体に含有される高級脂肪酸の定量分析方法について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1は、本発明に係る無機粉体に含有される高級脂肪酸の定量分析方法の操作を示すフロー図である。
被測定物は、銀電池等に使用される酸化銀粉等の無機粉体であって、高級脂肪酸(ステアリン酸等)、各種糖類、アルコール類等からなる表面処理剤を含有するものである。
当該被測定物を所定量(例えば、2g)準備し、精密に秤量する。
A method for quantitative analysis of higher fatty acids contained in the inorganic powder according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the method for quantitative analysis of higher fatty acids contained in the inorganic powder according to the present invention.
The object to be measured is an inorganic powder such as silver oxide powder used in a silver battery or the like, and contains a surface treatment agent composed of higher fatty acids (such as stearic acid), various sugars, alcohols and the like.
A predetermined amount (for example, 2 g) of the object to be measured is prepared and weighed precisely.

精秤した被測定物へ酸を添加する。添加する酸としては、濃度6M〜12Mの硝酸、濃度1M〜12Mの塩酸等が好ましく使用できる。但し、無機粉体を溶解する際に生成する脂肪酸を遊離させるため、酸のプロトン濃度は高い方が望ましい。なお、本方法は、被測定物中の高級脂肪酸は1質量%以下の微量における場合も適用できる。
酸の添加量は、精秤した被測定物の反応当量に比して過剰量を加える。例えば、濃度6M〜10Mの硝酸を用いるなら20mlを加える。尚、当該酸の純度は、試薬特級水準であることが好ましい。
被測定物を酸に溶解させ被測定物溶液を得る。この溶解の際、混合物の温度が50℃以下を保つように留意する。これは、金属イオンと高級脂肪酸とが石鹸を形成する反応を回避する為である。さらに、混合物へ超音波を照射し、被測定物の酸への溶解を促進することも好ましい構成である。
詳細は後述するが、被測定物溶液のpH値は3以下とすること好ましい。当該構成を採ることで、次工程において高級脂肪酸を安定的に有機相へ移行させることが出来る。
Add acid to the weighed object. As the acid to be added, nitric acid having a concentration of 6M to 12M, hydrochloric acid having a concentration of 1M to 12M and the like can be preferably used. However, it is desirable that the acid proton concentration is high in order to liberate the fatty acid produced when the inorganic powder is dissolved. In addition, this method is applicable also when the higher fatty acid in a to-be-measured object is in the trace amount of 1 mass% or less.
The acid is added in an excess amount compared to the reaction equivalent of the precisely measured object. For example, if using nitric acid with a concentration of 6M to 10M, add 20 ml. In addition, it is preferable that the purity of the said acid is a reagent special grade level.
A measurement object solution is obtained by dissolving the measurement object in an acid. Care is taken to keep the temperature of the mixture below 50 ° C. during this dissolution. This is to avoid the reaction between metal ions and higher fatty acids forming soap. Furthermore, it is also preferable to irradiate the mixture with ultrasonic waves to promote dissolution of the object to be measured in the acid.
Although details will be described later, the pH value of the solution to be measured is preferably 3 or less. By adopting this configuration, higher fatty acids can be stably transferred to the organic phase in the next step.

ここで、上述した酸の添加による、高級脂肪酸の遊離について説明する。
まず、被測定物へ酸として硝酸を添加した場合、(式1)の反応が進行すると考えられる。
一方、(式1)と同時に(式2)も進行する。
Ag:(高級脂肪酸、高級脂肪酸イオン、アルコール、糖)+HNO→Ag+NO+高級脂肪酸(高級脂肪酸イオン)+HO・・・(式1)
(式1)の反応により、AgはAgとなり、アルコール、糖は酸化されてHOとCOとなり、COは揮散するか炭酸となる。
高級脂肪酸イオン+H+→高級脂肪酸・・・(式2)
(式2)の反応により、高級脂肪酸イオンは酸化されて高級脂肪酸となる。
結局、(式1)(式2)の進行により、当初のAg:(高級脂肪酸、高級脂肪酸イオン、アルコール、糖)は、Ag+NO+高級脂肪酸+HOとなる。
Here, the liberation of higher fatty acids by addition of the above-described acid will be described.
First, when nitric acid is added as an acid to the object to be measured, the reaction of (Formula 1) is considered to proceed.
On the other hand, (Expression 2) proceeds simultaneously with (Expression 1).
Ag: (higher fatty acid, higher fatty acid ion, alcohol, sugar) + HNO 3 → Ag + + NO 2 + higher fatty acid (higher fatty acid ion) + H 2 O (Formula 1)
By the reaction of (Formula 1), Ag becomes Ag + , alcohol and sugar are oxidized to H 2 O and CO 2 , and CO 2 is volatilized or becomes carbonic acid.
Higher fatty acid ion + H + → higher fatty acid ... (Formula 2)
By the reaction of (Formula 2), the higher fatty acid ion is oxidized to a higher fatty acid.
Eventually, with the progression of (Formula 1) and (Formula 2), the initial Ag: (higher fatty acid, higher fatty acid ion, alcohol, sugar) becomes Ag + + NO 2 + higher fatty acid + H 2 O.

被測定物溶液の液温が常温(25℃)となったら、ここへ有機溶媒を添加する。
当該有機溶媒は、高級脂肪酸を溶解可能であり、25℃で液体であり、沸点50℃以下であり、水に不溶であるものが求められる。本発明者らは、(式1)(式2)で説明した高級脂肪酸は十分に溶解する一方、25℃で液体であり、沸点50℃以下であり、水に不溶な有機溶媒の好ましい例としてジクロロメタンを知見した。ジクロロメタンは、遊離した高級脂肪酸を抽出するのに適していると考えられる。
When the liquid temperature of the solution to be measured reaches room temperature (25 ° C.), an organic solvent is added thereto.
The organic solvent is required to be able to dissolve higher fatty acids, be liquid at 25 ° C., have a boiling point of 50 ° C. or lower, and be insoluble in water. As a preferred example of the organic solvent in which the higher fatty acid described in (Formula 1) and (Formula 2) is sufficiently dissolved, it is liquid at 25 ° C., has a boiling point of 50 ° C. or less, and is insoluble in water. Dichloromethane was found. Dichloromethane is considered suitable for extracting free higher fatty acids.

有機溶媒の添加量は、被測定物溶液量と同量程度で良い。また、後述する溶媒蒸発時に揮発除去を迅速化するため、低沸点溶媒(40℃程度)であることが好ましいが、ジクロロメタンの沸点は40℃でありこの点でも好ましい。
被測定物溶液と有機溶媒との混合物を十分に撹拌する。撹拌方法としては、振とう撹拌等が好ましい。
The amount of the organic solvent added may be about the same as the amount of the solution to be measured. Moreover, in order to expedite volatilization removal at the time of solvent evaporation described later, a low boiling point solvent (about 40 ° C.) is preferable, but dichloromethane has a boiling point of 40 ° C., which is also preferable in this respect.
The mixture of the solution to be measured and the organic solvent is sufficiently stirred. As the stirring method, shaking stirring or the like is preferable.

被測定物溶液と有機溶剤との混合物を、水相と有機相とに分液する。分液の際、前記混合物を遠心分離することで分液を早く完了でき好ましい構成である。今回の混合物のように40ml程度の量であれば、3000rpm、10分間程度の遠心分離をすることで分液を完了出来る。
分液が完了したら水相と有機相とを分け、有機層から所定量の試料を分取する。分取量は、例えば2mlで良い。
A mixture of the solution to be measured and the organic solvent is separated into an aqueous phase and an organic phase. In the case of liquid separation, the mixture can be completed quickly by centrifuging the mixture, which is a preferable configuration. Separation can be completed by centrifuging at 3000 rpm for about 10 minutes if the amount is about 40 ml as in the current mixture.
When the separation is completed, the aqueous phase and the organic phase are separated, and a predetermined amount of sample is collected from the organic layer. For example, the fraction can be 2 ml.

当該分取試料を多孔質ボードに含浸させた後、当該ボードをドラフト内にて50℃ 0.5時間加熱して有機溶媒を蒸発乾燥させて乾固させ残渣を得た。当該有機溶媒が蒸散した多孔質のボードを炭素分析計に装填し、測定された炭素量から、銀粉に含有された高級脂肪酸の炭素量が測定された。ここで、予め銀粉に含有された表面処理剤中における高級脂肪酸の種類と含有量とを確認しておけば、当該測定された炭素量から、銀粉に含有された高級脂肪酸の種類と含有量とを算定出来る。   After the preparative sample was impregnated into a porous board, the board was heated in a draft at 50 ° C. for 0.5 hour to evaporate and dry the organic solvent to obtain a residue. A porous board vaporized with the organic solvent was loaded into a carbon analyzer, and the carbon content of the higher fatty acid contained in the silver powder was measured from the measured carbon content. Here, if the type and content of the higher fatty acid in the surface treatment agent previously contained in the silver powder are confirmed, from the measured carbon amount, the type and content of the higher fatty acid contained in the silver powder Can be calculated.

(炭素分析計の校正と検量線の作成)

炭素分析計の校正と検量線の作成の具体的方法について説明する。
(1)炭素分析計を鉄鋼標準物質で校正する。
(2)既知量のステアリン酸を含むジクロロメタン溶液を所定量採取し、炭素自動分析機用素焼きボードに浸透させる。

(4)ステアリン酸の既知量と、炭素分析計で測定し算定したステアリン酸量とを比較して検量線を作成し、分析精度も確認した。当該検量線を図2に示す。
(Calibration of carbon analyzer and creation of calibration curve)
The calibration of a carbon analyzer used for the quantitative analysis method for higher fatty acids contained in the inorganic powder according to the present invention and the creation of a calibration curve will be described.
A specific method for calibrating the carbon analyzer and creating a calibration curve will be described.
(1) Calibrate the carbon analyzer with steel standards.
(2) A predetermined amount of a dichloromethane solution containing a known amount of stearic acid is collected and permeated into an unglazed board for an automatic carbon analyzer.
(3) A dichloromethane solution containing a known amount of stearic acid permeated into an unglazed board for a carbon automatic analyzer was evaporated to dryness, measured with a carbon analyzer, and the amount of stearic acid was calculated.
(4) A calibration curve was created by comparing the known amount of stearic acid with the amount of stearic acid measured and calculated with a carbon analyzer, and the analytical accuracy was also confirmed. The calibration curve is shown in FIG.

図3より分析精度は、変動係数として1.4%(n=3)であることが判明した。
FIG. 2 is a graph with the measured value of stearic acid on the vertical axis and the known amount of stearic acid on the horizontal axis.
From FIG. 3, the analysis accuracy was found to be 1.4% (n = 3) as a coefficient of variation.

(有機相への高級脂肪酸抽出率のpH依存性)
上述した(式2)に関連して、高級脂肪酸(ステアリン酸等)の有機相への抽出率が、被測定物溶液のpH値にどの様に依存性するかについて検討した結果について説明する。
まず検討用試料を調製した。
純水20mlにステアリン酸20gを加えた後、硝酸または水酸化ナトリウムを添加して、pH値が0、3、5、7および9の5種の試料を調製した。当該試料へそれぞれジクロロメタン20mlを添加して検討用試料を調製した。
当該検討用試料を5分間振とう撹拌し分液を完了してから、有機相中に抽出されたステアリン酸量の定量値を、上述した方法により測定した。
当該測定結果を図3に示す。図3は縦軸にステアリン酸の抽出率、横軸に試料のpH値をとったグラフである。
図3より、試料のpH値が3以下であればステアリン酸の抽出率が95質量%を超え安定していることが判明した。
(PH dependence of higher fatty acid extraction rate into organic phase)
In relation to (Equation 2) described above, the results of studying how the extraction rate of higher fatty acids (such as stearic acid) into the organic phase depends on the pH value of the solution to be measured will be described.
First, a sample for study was prepared.
After adding 20 g of stearic acid to 20 ml of pure water, nitric acid or sodium hydroxide was added to prepare 5 types of samples having pH values of 0, 3, 5, 7, and 9. A sample for examination was prepared by adding 20 ml of dichloromethane to each of the samples.
After the sample for examination was shaken and stirred for 5 minutes to complete the separation, the quantitative value of the amount of stearic acid extracted into the organic phase was measured by the method described above.
The measurement results are shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a graph in which the vertical axis represents the stearic acid extraction rate and the horizontal axis represents the pH value of the sample.
From FIG. 3, it was found that when the pH value of the sample was 3 or less, the extraction rate of stearic acid exceeded 95% by mass and was stable.

(まとめ)
本発明では、表面処理剤(高級脂肪酸)を含む無機粉体へ、反応当量に対して大過剰の酸を添加し、低温で溶解した。そして、得られた金属溶解液を、高級脂肪酸を溶解可能であり、25℃で液体であり、沸点50℃以下であり、且つ水に不溶である有機溶媒で抽出することにより、表面処理剤中の高級脂肪酸を95%以上の回収率で抽出した。
次に、当該有機相から所定量の試料を分種し、当該試料を50℃で蒸発乾燥して乾固した後、残渣を炭素分析計で測定した。測定された炭素量から高級脂肪酸濃度を計算したものである。

所定の有機溶媒を有機相に用いた溶媒抽出法により、表面処理剤中不純物である糖類,アルコールと、目的物質である高級脂肪酸との分離を95%以上で可能にした。
高級脂肪酸を含む有機相の所定量を蒸発乾固し、残渣の炭素分析を行うことで、迅速かつ再現精度の高いデータが得られた(n=3、変動係数=1.4 %)。
本発明に係る高級脂肪酸の定量分析方法は誘導体化処理を必要としないため,操作手順が簡略化された(誘導体化処理では18時間程度かかっていたが、本発明では試料の蒸発乾燥後30分間程度で終了出来た。)。
Specifically, by dissolving the inorganic powder at a low temperature, the bond between metal ions and fatty acids after decomposition (generation of metal soap) was prevented, and solvent extraction was facilitated.
The solvent extraction method using a predetermined organic solvent in the organic phase enabled separation of sugars and alcohols as impurities in the surface treatment agent and higher fatty acids as target substances at 95% or more.
A predetermined amount of the organic phase containing higher fatty acids was evaporated to dryness, and carbon analysis of the residue was performed to obtain data with high speed and high reproducibility (n = 3, coefficient of variation = 1.4%).
Since the method for quantitative analysis of higher fatty acids according to the present invention does not require derivatization treatment, the operation procedure is simplified (the derivatization treatment took about 18 hours, but in the present invention, 30 minutes after evaporating and drying the sample. I was able to finish it with a degree.)

この結果、無機粉体に含有される高級脂肪酸の定量分析方法においては、分析にGC−MSやLC−MSの使用が不要な為、誘導体化等のステップが不要になり、定量操作が簡便、容易になった。さらに、従来の技術に係る誘導体化・GC−MSで測定では、定量化が困難な為、品質管理項目として求められる高級脂肪酸量の定量性を確保出来ていなかったが、本発明により可能となった。   As a result, in the method for quantitative analysis of higher fatty acids contained in the inorganic powder, since the use of GC-MS or LC-MS is unnecessary for the analysis, steps such as derivatization are unnecessary, and the quantitative operation is simple. It became easy. Furthermore, since quantification is difficult in the derivatization / GC-MS measurement according to the prior art, the quantitativeness of the higher fatty acid amount required as a quality control item has not been ensured, but the present invention makes it possible. It was.
