Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、低置換度セルロースエーテルからなる多孔質粒子の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来から、セルロース、タンパク質等の天然高分子を材質とした多孔質粒子が抗菌剤、芳香剤、消臭剤等の吸着材、バイオリアクターの固定担体あるいは室内園芸用培土等に使用されている。このうちセルロースの多孔質粒子については、特開平9−176327号公報でビスコースに多糖類をアルカリ水溶液にて混合したものを酸性水溶液中で凝固・再生して製造される再生セルロースの多孔質粒子が報告されている。
【0003】
また、特開平3−170501号公報には、ビスコースに炭酸カルシウムを混合させた溶液を酸性水溶液中で凝固・再生させることによって製造される多孔質粒子が報告されている。
【0004】
しかし、これらの多孔質粒子は、セルロースを毒性の強い二硫化炭素で処理して作られるセルロースザンテートをアルカリ水溶液に溶かしたビスコースを原材料として使用するため、その製造段階で作業者が二硫化炭素に暴露される危険性があると指摘されている。また、精製を十分に行わないと、多孔質粒子に微量の硫黄分が残存し、製品自体の機能を低下させたり、臭気が出たりする可能性もある。
【0005】
本発明は、上記事情を鑑みなされたもので、従来のビスコース由来の多孔質粒子に代替し得る性能を有し、かつその製造工程において毒性の強い二硫化炭素を使用することなく、硫黄臭を伴わない多孔質粒子の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段及び発明の実施の形態】
発明者らは、上記目的を達成するため鋭意検討した結果、一定のモル置換度を有する低置換度セルロースエーテルからなる多孔質粒子が、従来のビスコース由来の多孔質粒子に代替し得る性能を有し、かつその製造工程において毒性の強い二硫化炭素を使用することなく、硫黄臭を伴わないで得られることを知見し、本発明をなすに至ったものである。
【0007】
従って、本発明は、
[I]アルキル基及び/又はヒドロキシアルキル基によるモル置換度が0.05〜1.0である水には溶解しないが、アルカリ水溶液に溶解する低置換度セルロースエーテルと水溶性高分子物質又は炭酸塩とをアルカリ水溶液に溶解した混合液を酸と接触させ、低置換度セルロースエーテルを凝固・再生することを特徴とする低置換度セルロースエーテルの多孔質粒子の製造方法、
[II]上記混合液と酸との接触方法が、酸水溶液に上記混合液を滴下する方法であることを特徴とする[I]記載の低置換度セルロースエーテルの多孔質粒子の製造方法、
[III]低置換度セルロースエーテルと炭酸塩とをアルカリ水溶液に溶解した混合液を酸と接触させ、低置換度セルロースエーテルを凝固・再生すると共に、炭酸塩と酸との反応で二酸化炭素を発生させて多孔質粒子を形成することを特徴とする[I]又は[II]記載の低置換度セルロースエーテルの多孔質粒子の製造方法
を提供する。
【0008】
以下、本発明につき更に詳しく説明すると、本発明に係る低置換度セルロースエーテルはセルロースを構成しているグルコース環の水酸基の水素原子をアルキル基及び/又はヒドロキシアルキル基で置換したセルロースエーテルのうち、モル置換度が0.05〜1.0、好ましくは0.1〜0.7と低いもので、水には溶解しないが、アルカリ水溶液に溶解するものである。モル置換度が0.05よりも低いとアルカリ水溶液に溶解しにくく、多孔質粒子の製造が困難になり、1.0を超えると水への溶解性が高くなり、多孔質粒子としての機能が失われるためである。
【0009】
低置換度セルロースエーテルとしては、低置換度メチルセルロース、低置換度エチルセルロース等の低置換度アルキルセルロース、低置換度ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、低置換度ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース等の低置換度ヒドロキシアルキルセルロース、低置換度ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロース、低置換度ヒドロキシエチルメチルセルロース、低置換度ヒドロキシエチルエチルセルロース等の低置換度ヒドロキシアルキルアルキルセルロースが例示できる。

多孔質粒子は、粒子の中に一定量の空隙を含むものであり、空隙の多少、すなわち空隙率(粒子体積中に占める空隙の体積割合)は用途によって適宜選択すればよく、特に制限はないが、空隙率が30〜98%、特に50〜98%であることが好ましい。空隙率が30%未満であると多孔質粒子としての機能を発揮することができず、また98%を超えると粒子の機械的強度が弱くなり、実用に供することができない場合があるからである。
【0011】
本発明の多孔質粒子は、第1の方法として、低置換度セルロースエーテルと水溶性高分子物質とをアルカリ水溶液に溶解した混合液を酸と接触させ、低置換度セルロースエーテルを凝固・再生することにより製造することができる。この場合、凝固・再生した低置換度セルロースエーテルから水溶性高分子物質が酸水溶液あるいはその後の水洗工程で除去されることにより、多孔質粒子が形成される。
【0012】
ここで、アルカリ水溶液は、苛性ソーダ水溶液、苛性カリ水溶液等が挙げられ、そのアルカリ水溶液濃度は、使用する低置換度セルロースエーテルの置換基の種類やモル置換度によって異なるので適宜決定すればよいが、通常は苛性アルカリの量として、2〜25重量%、特に3〜15重量%が好ましい。典型的な例としては、モル置換度0.2の低置換度ヒドロキシプロピルセルロースは10重量%濃度の苛性ソーダ水溶液に溶解する。

【0014】
低置換度セルロースエーテルと水溶性高分子物質との混合比率及びアルカリ水溶液中におけるこれらの成分の合計濃度についても特に制限はなく、目的とする多孔質粒子の物性及び操作性を勘案して適宜選択すればよいが、通常は低置換度セルロースエーテルの濃度が2〜20重量%、特に3〜15重量%が好ましい。また、水溶性高分子物質は低置換度セルロース量1重量部に対して0.1〜5重量部添加することが好ましい。低置換度セルロースエーテルと水溶性高分子物質をアルカリ水溶液に混合する場合、最初に低置換度セルロースエーテルと水溶性高分子物質を別個にアルカリ水溶液に溶解したものを調製し、その後それぞれを混合してもよいし、予め低置換度セルロースエーテルをアルカリ水溶液に溶かし、その後水溶性高分子物質を添加してもかまわない。
【0015】
酸としては塩酸、硫酸等の鉱酸、クエン酸、リンゴ酸、酢酸等の水溶液を使用することができる。この場合、酸の濃度は1〜20重量%が好ましい。
【0016】
上記低置換度セルロースエーテルと水溶性高分子物質とのアルカリ混合液を酸と接触する方法としては、特に制限されるものではないが、酸水溶液にアルカリ混合液を除々に滴下していく方法が好適に採用される。この場合、アルカリ混合液の滴下速度は1〜60ml/分が好ましい。なお、この接触は0〜30℃にて行うことが好ましい。
【0017】
更に、本発明は、低置換度セルロースエーテルと炭酸塩とをアルカリ水溶液に溶解した液を液滴として酸に接触させ、低置換度セルロースエーテルを凝固・再生させて、低置換度セルロースエーテル多孔質粒子を製造する方法を提供するものである。この場合、低置換度セルロースエーテルが凝固・再生される際に炭酸塩が酸と反応して二酸化炭素を発生して多孔質粒子が形成される。ここで、アルカリ水溶液及び酸は上記したものと同じものが使用できる。
【0018】
炭酸塩としては、炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸水素ナトリウム、炭酸マグネシウム等が例示できるが、特に水不溶性の炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウムが好ましい。低置換度セルロースエーテルと炭酸塩との混合比率及びアルカリ水溶液中におけるこれらの成分の合計濃度についても特に制限はなく、目的とする多孔質粒子の物性、及び操作性を勘案して適宜選択すればよいが、通常は低置換度セルロースエーテルの濃度が2〜20重量%、特に3〜15重量%が好ましい。また、炭酸塩は低置換度セルロース量1重量部に対して0.1〜10重量部添加することが好ましい。低置換度セルロースエーテルと炭酸塩とを混合する場合、最初に低置換度セルロースエーテルをアルカリ水溶液に溶かし、その後炭酸塩を添加してもかまわない。

[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, porous particles made of natural polymers such as cellulose and protein have been used for adsorbents such as antibacterial agents, fragrances and deodorants, bioreactor stationary carriers, indoor horticulture soils, and the like. Among these, as for the porous particles of cellulose, the porous particles of regenerated cellulose produced by coagulating and regenerating a mixture of viscose and polysaccharides in an alkaline aqueous solution in an acidic aqueous solution in JP-A-9-176327. Has been reported.
[0003]
JP-A-3-170501 reports porous particles produced by coagulating and regenerating a solution in which calcium carbonate is mixed with viscose in an acidic aqueous solution.
[0004]
However, these porous particles use viscose made from cellulose xanthate, which is produced by treating cellulose with highly toxic carbon disulfide, in an alkaline aqueous solution. It has been pointed out that there is a risk of exposure to carbon. In addition, if the purification is not performed sufficiently, a minute amount of sulfur remains in the porous particles, and the function of the product itself may be deteriorated or an odor may be generated.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, has a performance that can be substituted for conventional viscose-derived porous particles, and does not use toxic carbon disulfide in its production process. and to provide a porous grain terminal manufacturing method without.
[0006]
Means for Solving the Problem and Embodiment of the Invention
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the inventors have found that porous particles made of low-substituted cellulose ether having a certain degree of molar substitution can replace conventional porous particles derived from viscose. It has been found that it can be obtained without using a sulfur odor without using carbon disulfide which is highly toxic in the production process and has led to the present invention.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention
[I] Low-substituted cellulose ether and water-soluble polymer or carbonic acid that does not dissolve in water having a molar substitution degree of 0.05 to 1.0 with an alkyl group and / or hydroxyalkyl group, but dissolves in an alkaline aqueous solution the salt is contacted with an acid mixture was dissolved in an aqueous alkali solution, a method of manufacturing the porous particles of low-substituted cellulose ether you characterized in that coagulation and reproducing low-substituted cellulose ether,
[II] The method for producing porous particles of low-substituted cellulose ether according to [I] , wherein the method of contacting the mixed solution and the acid is a method of dropping the mixed solution into an acid aqueous solution,
[III] A mixture of low-substituted cellulose ether and carbonate dissolved in an alkaline aqueous solution is brought into contact with an acid to coagulate and regenerate the low-substituted cellulose ether, and carbon dioxide is generated by the reaction between the carbonate and acid. A method for producing porous particles of low-substituted cellulose ether according to [I] or [II] , wherein the porous particles are formed by forming a porous particle.
[0008]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail. The low-substituted cellulose ether according to the present invention is a cellulose ether in which the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group of the glucose ring constituting the cellulose is substituted with an alkyl group and / or a hydroxyalkyl group. The degree of molar substitution is as low as 0.05 to 1.0, preferably 0.1 to 0.7, and does not dissolve in water, but dissolves in an alkaline aqueous solution. If the degree of molar substitution is lower than 0.05, it is difficult to dissolve in an alkaline aqueous solution, making it difficult to produce porous particles. If it exceeds 1.0, the solubility in water is increased, and the function as porous particles is increased. Because it is lost.
[0009]
Low substituted cellulose ethers include low substituted alkyl celluloses such as low substituted methyl cellulose and low substituted ethyl cellulose, low substituted hydroxyalkyl celluloses such as low substituted hydroxyethyl cellulose and low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, low substituted hydroxy Examples include low-substituted hydroxyalkylalkylcelluloses such as propylmethylcellulose, low-substituted hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, and low-substituted hydroxyethylethylcellulose.
[0010]

However, the porosity is preferably 30 to 98%, particularly 50 to 98%. This is because if the porosity is less than 30%, the function as porous particles cannot be exhibited, and if it exceeds 98%, the mechanical strength of the particles becomes weak and may not be put to practical use. .
[0011]
The porous particles of the present invention, as a first method, coagulate and regenerate the low-substituted cellulose ether by contacting a mixed solution obtained by dissolving the low-substituted cellulose ether and the water-soluble polymer substance in an alkaline aqueous solution with an acid. Can be manufactured. In this case, porous particles are formed by removing the water-soluble polymer substance from the coagulated and regenerated low-substituted cellulose ether in an acid aqueous solution or a subsequent water washing step.
[0012]
Here, examples of the alkaline aqueous solution include a caustic soda aqueous solution and a caustic potassium aqueous solution, and the concentration of the alkaline aqueous solution may be appropriately determined because it varies depending on the type and molar substitution degree of the low-substituted cellulose ether used. Is preferably 2 to 25% by weight, particularly 3 to 15% by weight, as the amount of caustic. As a typical example, a low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose having a molar substitution degree of 0.2 is dissolved in a 10% strength by weight aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.
[0013]
The water-soluble polymer substance is not particularly limited as long as it is soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution, and is a natural polymer such as starch, pullulan, guar gum, gum arabic, or alginic acid, or a derivative of a natural polymer such as cellulose or starch. , Semi-synthetic polymers such as hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl starch, dextrin, oxidized starch, or synthetic polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, sodium polyacrylate It can be illustrated.
[0014]
The mixing ratio of the low-substituted cellulose ether and the water-soluble polymer substance and the total concentration of these components in the alkaline aqueous solution are not particularly limited, and are appropriately selected in consideration of the physical properties and operability of the target porous particles. Usually, the concentration of the low-substituted cellulose ether is preferably 2 to 20% by weight, particularly preferably 3 to 15% by weight. The water-soluble polymer substance is preferably added in an amount of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of the low-substituted cellulose. When mixing low-substituted cellulose ether and water-soluble polymer substance in alkaline aqueous solution, first prepare low-substituted cellulose ether and water-soluble polymer substance separately dissolved in alkaline aqueous solution, then mix each one Alternatively, the low-substituted cellulose ether may be previously dissolved in an alkaline aqueous solution, and then a water-soluble polymer substance may be added.
[0015]
As the acid, a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, or an aqueous solution such as citric acid, malic acid or acetic acid can be used. In this case, the acid concentration is preferably 1 to 20% by weight.
[0016]
The method for bringing the alkali mixture of the low-substituted cellulose ether and the water-soluble polymer substance into contact with the acid is not particularly limited, but there is a method in which the alkali mixture is gradually dropped into the acid aqueous solution. Preferably employed. In this case, the dropping rate of the alkali mixed solution is preferably 1 to 60 ml / min. In addition, it is preferable to perform this contact at 0-30 degreeC.
[0017]
Further, the present invention provides a low-substituted cellulose ether porous material in which a low-substituted cellulose ether and a carbonate dissolved in an alkaline aqueous solution are brought into contact with an acid as droplets to coagulate and regenerate the low-substituted cellulose ether. A method for producing particles is provided. In this case, when the low-substituted cellulose ether is solidified and regenerated, the carbonate reacts with the acid to generate carbon dioxide to form porous particles. Here, the same alkaline aqueous solution and acid as described above can be used.
[0018]
Examples of the carbonate include sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, magnesium carbonate and the like, but water-insoluble calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate are particularly preferable. There is no particular limitation on the mixing ratio of the low-substituted cellulose ether and the carbonate and the total concentration of these components in the aqueous alkali solution, and may be appropriately selected in consideration of the physical properties and operability of the target porous particles. Usually, the concentration of the low-substituted cellulose ether is preferably 2 to 20% by weight, particularly preferably 3 to 15% by weight. The carbonate is preferably added in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of the low-substituted cellulose. When mixing the low-substituted cellulose ether and the carbonate, the low-substituted cellulose ether may be first dissolved in an alkaline aqueous solution, and then the carbonate may be added.
[0019]
The concentration of the acid aqueous solution and the contact method / condition between the alkali mixed solution and the acid aqueous solution are the same as described above. In any of the above production methods, the coagulated and regenerated porous particles are separated from the mother liquor by filtration or a centrifuge, and then dried by washing, freeze-drying, or the like.
