Description

本発明は、例えば、熱処理装置、工業窯炉内又は焼却炉内で、断熱材として使用される無機繊維質成形体、あるいは、特開平2004−263860号公報等に記載されている、ディスクロールと呼ばれる高温物の運搬用ロールの基材又は特開平2003−292380号公報等に記載されている、耐熱性セッターと呼ばれる高温物の運搬用治具の基材として使用される無機繊維質成形体、並びにその製造方法に関し、より具体的には、40℃における生理食塩水溶解率が1%以上の無機繊維を主成分とする無機繊維質成形体に関する。以下、40℃における生理食塩水溶解率が1%以上の無機繊維を、生体溶解性繊維とも記載する。   The present invention is, for example, an inorganic fiber molded body used as a heat insulating material in a heat treatment apparatus, an industrial kiln furnace or an incinerator, or a disk roll described in JP-A No. 2004-263860. An inorganic fiber molded body used as a base material for a high-temperature material transporting jig called a heat-resistant setter, which is described in a base material for a high-temperature material transporting roll or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-292380, etc. More specifically, the present invention relates to an inorganic fiber molded body mainly composed of inorganic fibers having a physiological saline dissolution rate at 40 ° C. of 1% or more. Hereinafter, inorganic fibers having a physiological saline dissolution rate at 40 ° C. of 1% or more are also referred to as biosoluble fibers.

従来、無機繊維をバインダーで固めた繊維質成形体が、断熱材、ディスクロール、耐熱性セッターとして使用されており、該無機繊維としては、ガラス繊維、グラスウール、セラミックウール、ロックウール、アルミナ質繊維、ジルコニア質繊維、シリカ・アルミナ質繊維等(以下、従来の繊維質成形体の無機繊維等とも記載する。)が使用されていた。   Conventionally, a fibrous molded body in which inorganic fibers are hardened with a binder has been used as a heat insulating material, a disk roll, and a heat-resistant setter. Examples of the inorganic fibers include glass fibers, glass wool, ceramic wool, rock wool, and alumina fibers. , Zirconia fibers, silica / alumina fibers and the like (hereinafter also referred to as inorganic fibers of conventional fiber molded bodies) have been used.

この従来の繊維質成形体の無機繊維等は、人に吸入されて肺に侵入すると、肺胞マクロファージ(食細胞)により異物として取り囲まれ、繊毛がある場所(気管や気管支)まで運び込まれ痰とともに体外に排出されたり、リンパ液・リンパ管を経て肺胞表面から排出されたりする。しかし、異物の取り囲みにより肺胞マクロファージが刺激を受けたり、損傷を受けることもあり、それにより蛋白質分解酵素やコラーゲン繊維分解酵素が細胞から出て、これらの酵素の量が多くなると肺胞細胞が炎症を起こしたり、コラーゲン化を呈するようになることがある。こうした炎症を起こした細胞は抵抗力が弱まっており、細胞内の核の中にあるDNAが損傷されやすくなるとともに、細胞の破壊と再製過程とが頻繁になり、異常細胞が出現する機会が多くなる。このように、従来の繊維質成形体の無機繊維では、人体への影響が懸念されてきた。   When the inorganic fibers of this conventional fiber molded body are inhaled by humans and enter the lungs, they are surrounded as foreign matter by alveolar macrophages (phagocytic cells) and are carried to the place where there is cilia (trachea and bronchi) together with wrinkles It is discharged out of the body, or discharged from the alveolar surface via lymph and lymphatic vessels. However, the alveolar macrophages may be stimulated or damaged due to the surrounding foreign material, and as a result, proteolytic enzymes and collagen fiber degrading enzymes are released from the cells, and if the amount of these enzymes increases, the alveolar cells May cause irritation or collagenation. These inflamed cells are less resistant, making it easier to damage the DNA in the cell's nucleus, and the frequent destruction and remanufacturing process, resulting in more opportunities for abnormal cells to appear. Become. As described above, there has been a concern about the influence on the human body in the inorganic fiber of the conventional fibrous molded body.

そのため、該従来の無機繊維質成形体の無機繊維等を使用しない無機繊維質成形体の開発が望まれていた。   Therefore, it has been desired to develop an inorganic fiber molded body that does not use inorganic fibers of the conventional inorganic fiber molded body.

40℃における生理食塩水溶解率が1%以上の無機繊維(生体溶解性無機繊維)は、肺に吸入されても体内で溶解されやすい。そこで、従来の無機繊維質成形体の無機繊維等の代わりに、生体溶解性無機繊維を使用することが行われてきた。例えば、特開2003−82569号公報(特許文献1)には、SiO及びCaOを主成分とする無機繊維と、バインダーと、必要に応じて無機粉体とからなり、NaとKの合計が4000ppm以下である無機繊維質成形体、及び該無機繊維、バインダー及び無機粉体を、水に入れ、攪拌してスラリーとし、次いで、成形し、乾燥する無機繊維質成形体の製造方法が開示されている。
特開2003−82569号公報(請求項1、実施例)
An inorganic fiber (biosoluble inorganic fiber) having a physiological saline dissolution rate at 40 ° C. of 1% or more is easily dissolved in the body even when inhaled into the lungs. Therefore, it has been carried out to use biosoluble inorganic fibers instead of the inorganic fibers of the conventional inorganic fiber molded body. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-82569 (Patent Document 1) is composed of inorganic fibers mainly composed of SiO 2 and CaO, a binder, and, if necessary, inorganic powder, and the total of Na and K is Disclosed is an inorganic fiber molded body having a concentration of 4000 ppm or less, and a method for producing an inorganic fiber molded body in which the inorganic fiber, the binder, and the inorganic powder are put into water, stirred to form a slurry, and then molded and dried. ing.
JP 2003-82569 A (Claim 1, Example)

無機繊維質成形体は、通常、大気中で保管されるので、保管中に大気中の水分を吸湿する。特に、輸出する際には、該無機繊維質成形体は、船底等の湿度が高い条件下で保管されるので、多くの水分を吸湿することになる。ところが、特許文献1に開示されている無機繊維質成形体は、主成分である無機繊維の一部が、水に溶解する性質を有しているため、吸湿した水分により該無機繊維が浸食され、該無機繊維が断裂したり、あるいは、該無機繊維が水分に溶解することにより生じるアルカリ成分が、有機バインダーを劣化させるため、該無機繊維質成形体の強度が低下するという問題が生じていた。このように、従来の生体溶解性無機繊維を主成分とする無機繊維質成形体では、保管中に劣化し、商品価値が低下するという問題があった。   Since the inorganic fibrous molded body is normally stored in the air, it absorbs moisture in the air during storage. In particular, when exporting, the inorganic fiber molded body absorbs a large amount of moisture because it is stored under conditions of high humidity such as the ship bottom. However, since the inorganic fiber molded body disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a property that a part of the inorganic fiber as a main component is dissolved in water, the inorganic fiber is eroded by moisture absorbed. In addition, the alkali component generated when the inorganic fiber is torn or the inorganic fiber is dissolved in moisture deteriorates the organic binder, which causes a problem that the strength of the inorganic fibrous molded body is reduced. . As described above, the conventional inorganic fiber molded body mainly composed of biosoluble inorganic fibers is deteriorated during storage and has a problem that the commercial value is lowered.

また、無機繊維質成形体は、通常、特許文献1に開示されている無機繊維質成形体の製造方法のように、無機繊維及びバインダーを水に分散させたスラリーを調製し、次いで、該スラリー中の水を、吸引ろ過する吸引成形を行い得られる。すなわち、無機繊維質成形体中の無機繊維は、必ず、水と接触する。そのため、特許文献1に開示されている無機繊維質成形体の製造方法には、無機繊維質成形体の製造時に、無機繊維が劣化するとういう問題もあった。   In addition, the inorganic fibrous molded body is usually prepared as a slurry in which inorganic fibers and a binder are dispersed in water, as in the method for producing an inorganic fibrous molded body disclosed in Patent Document 1, and then the slurry. It is possible to perform suction molding for suction filtration of the water therein. That is, the inorganic fibers in the inorganic fiber molded body always come into contact with water. Therefore, the method for producing an inorganic fiber molded body disclosed in Patent Document 1 also has a problem that the inorganic fiber deteriorates during the production of the inorganic fiber molded body.

従って、本発明の目的は、40℃における生理食塩水溶解率が1%以上の無機繊維(生体溶解性無機繊維)の成形体であって、保管時に劣化が少ない無機繊維質成形体及びその製造方法、並びに製造時に生体溶解性無機繊維の劣化が少ない無機繊維質成形体の製造方法を提供することにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a molded body of inorganic fibers (biosoluble inorganic fibers) having a physiological saline solubility at 40 ° C. of 1% or more, and an inorganic fiber molded body with little deterioration during storage, and its production It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a method for producing an inorganic fiber molded body with little degradation of biosoluble inorganic fibers during production.

The coating layer-forming inorganic fiber (a) is not easily deteriorated even when it comes into contact with water because the coating layer functions as a moisture protective film. Therefore, (2) the coating layer-forming inorganic fiber (a) The inorganic fibrous molded body obtained by molding has been found to be less deteriorated even if it absorbs moisture during storage, and the present invention has been completed.

First, 1 g of a sample obtained by pulverizing inorganic fibers to 200 mesh or less and 150 ml of physiological saline are placed in an Erlenmeyer flask (300 ml) and placed in an incubator at 40 ° C. The Erlenmeyer flask is then subjected to horizontal shaking at 120 revolutions per minute for 50 hours. After shaking, the mixture is filtered, and the concentration (mg / L) of each element is measured by ICP emission analysis for silicon, magnesium, calcium and aluminum contained in the obtained filtrate. Then, from the concentration of each element in the filtrate and the content (mass%) of each element in the inorganic fiber before dissolution, the physiological saline dissolution rate C (%) is calculated by the following formula (1).

該無機繊維(b)としては、例えば、特開2000−220037号公報、特開2002−68777号公報、特開2003−73926号公報、あるいは特開2003−212596号公報に記載されている無機繊維が挙げられる。具体的には、SiO及びCaOの合計含有量が85質量%以上であり、0.5〜3.0質量%のMgO及び2.0〜8.0質量%のPを含有し、かつドイツ危険物質規制による発癌性指数(KI値)が40以上である無機繊維、SiO、MgO及びTiOを必須成分とする無機繊維、SiO、MgO及び酸化マンガンを必須成分とする無機繊維、SiO 52〜72質量%、Al 3質量%未満、MgO 0〜7質量%、CaO 7.5〜9.5質量%、B 0〜12質量%、BaO 0〜4質量%、SrO 0〜3.5質量%、NaO 10〜20.5質量%、KO 0.5〜4.0質量%及びP 0〜5質量%を含む無機繊維、SiO 75〜80質量%、CaO+MgO 19〜25質量%、Al 1〜3質量%を含む無機繊維である。 Examples of the inorganic fiber (b) include inorganic fibers described in JP-A No. 2000-220037, JP-A No. 2002-68777, JP-A No. 2003-73926, or JP-A No. 2003-212596.

First, a biosoluble inorganic fiber (hereinafter also referred to as sample 1) having the coating layer formed on its surface and a biosoluble inorganic fiber (hereinafter also referred to as sample 2) having no coating layer formed thereon. )). Then, 1 g of the sample 1 pulverized to 200 mesh or less and 150 ml of distilled water are placed in an Erlenmeyer flask (300 ml) and placed in an incubator at 40 ° C. The Erlenmeyer flask is then subjected to horizontal shaking at 120 revolutions per minute for 50 hours. After shaking, the mixture is filtered, and the concentration (mg / L) of each element is measured by ICP emission analysis for silicon, magnesium, calcium and aluminum contained in the obtained filtrate. And the distilled water dissolution rate D (%) is calculated from the concentration of each element in the filtrate and the content (mass%) of each element in the inorganic fiber before dissolution by the following formula (2).

また、本発明の無機繊維質成形体の製造方法に係る無機繊維(b)の平均繊維径は、1〜50μm、好ましくは1.5〜10μm、特に好ましくは2〜6μmである。該平均繊維径が、1μm未満だと無機繊維が破断し易くなるので、無機繊維質成形体の強度が低くなり易く、また、50μmを超えると無機繊維質成形体の密度が低くなるので、無機繊維質成形体の強度が低くなり易い。また、該無機繊維の平均繊維長は1〜200mm、好ましくは2〜50mm、特に好ましくは10〜50mmである。該平均繊維長が、上記範囲内にあることにより、適切な密度を有する無機繊維質成形体が得易くなる。   Moreover, the average fiber diameter of the inorganic fiber (b) which concerns on the manufacturing method of the inorganic fiber molded object of this invention is 1-50 micrometers, Preferably it is 1.5-10 micrometers, Most preferably, it is 2-6 micrometers. If the average fiber diameter is less than 1 μm, the inorganic fibers are likely to break, so the strength of the inorganic fibrous molded body tends to be low, and if it exceeds 50 μm, the density of the inorganic fibrous molded body is low. The strength of the fibrous molded body tends to be low. The average fiber length of the inorganic fibers is 1 to 200 mm, preferably 2 to 50 mm, particularly preferably 10 to 50 mm. When the average fiber length is within the above range, an inorganic fibrous molded body having an appropriate density can be easily obtained.

本発明の無機繊維質成形体の製造方法に係るバインダーは、前記本発明の無機繊維質成形体に係るバインダーと同様である。   The binder which concerns on the manufacturing method of the inorganic fiber molded object of this invention is the same as the binder which concerns on the said inorganic fiber molded object of this invention.

It may be present or mixed at the same time.

このように、該被覆層形成剤を含有する混合液に、該無機繊維(b)を混合することにより、該無機繊維(b)の表面に、該被覆層形成剤が付着し、該被覆層が形成される。そして、該被覆層の形成は、該無機繊維(b)の混合後、速やかに起こるので、該無機繊維質成形体の製造中に、該無機繊維(b)が、水と接触して、劣化するのを防ぐことができる。   Thus, by mixing the inorganic fiber (b) with the mixed solution containing the coating layer forming agent, the coating layer forming agent adheres to the surface of the inorganic fiber (b), and the coating layer Is formed. And since formation of this coating layer occurs rapidly after mixing of this inorganic fiber (b), this inorganic fiber (b) contacts with water and deteriorates during manufacture of this inorganic fiber molded object. Can be prevented.

該スラリー製造工程における各成分の混合量について説明する。該被覆層形成剤の混合量は、該溶媒に混合する該被覆層形成剤、該無機繊維(b)、該バインダー及び該耐熱性粉末の混合量の合計を100質量%とした場合、該被覆層形成剤の質量割合が、0.05〜10質量%、好ましくは0.3〜6質量%、特に好ましくは0.5〜3質量%となる量である。該被覆剤形成剤の混合量が、上記範囲にあることにより、保管中に劣化が少ない無機繊維質成形体が得られるという効果が高くなる。なお、該バインダーが、溶媒に分散された懸濁液又は溶液の形態の場合、溶媒分を除いた固形分の質量が、上記混合量の合計を算出するための該バインダーの混合量である。また、該被覆層形成無機繊維(a)を含有するスラリーが、該耐熱性粉末を含有しない場合があるが、この場合は、該被覆層形成剤、該無機繊維(b)及び該バインダーの合計の混合量を100質量%とする。これらについては、以下同様である。   The mixing amount of each component in the slurry production process will be described. The mixing amount of the coating layer forming agent is such that the total mixing amount of the coating layer forming agent mixed with the solvent, the inorganic fiber (b), the binder and the heat resistant powder is 100% by mass. The mass ratio of the layer forming agent is 0.05 to 10% by mass, preferably 0.3 to 6% by mass, particularly preferably 0.5 to 3% by mass. When the mixing amount of the coating agent-forming agent is within the above range, the effect of obtaining an inorganic fibrous molded body with little deterioration during storage is enhanced. When the binder is in the form of a suspension or solution dispersed in a solvent, the mass of the solid content excluding the solvent is the mixed amount of the binder for calculating the total mixed amount.
