Description

本発明は、繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子の製造方法に関するものであり、より詳細には、0.1ml/g以上のマイクロ孔容量を有し、マイクロ孔を通して連結したメソ孔が、規則的に配列された、繊維長数百ミクロンメートル以上の繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を効率的に製造する方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing fibrous porous silica particles. More specifically, the present invention has a micropore capacity of 0.1 ml / g or more, and mesopores connected through micropores are regularly arranged. The present invention relates to a method for efficiently producing fibrous porous silica particles having a fiber length of several hundred microns or more.

ケイ酸エステルをシリカ源として用いて、メソ孔およびマイクロ孔のそれぞれの大きさおよび容量を制御する研究は、多方面でなされている。同時に、実用化を踏まえた多孔質シリカ粒子の合成においては、粒子のマクロ形態を制御することも重要であり、これまで、球状、ロッド状、膜、モノリス、繊維状などの形態の合成例が知られている。   There have been many studies to control the size and capacity of mesopores and micropores using silicate esters as silica sources. At the same time, in the synthesis of porous silica particles based on practical application, it is also important to control the macro form of the particles. So far, examples of synthesis of spherical, rod-like, membrane, monolith, fibrous, etc. Are known.

たとえば、界面活性剤として非イオン性界面活性剤であるトリブロック共重合体を用い、これとケイ酸エステルを用いた多孔質シリカ粒子の合成方法が、Science誌(非特許文献1)とJACS誌(非特許文献2)に掲載された。該当報告によると、非イオン界面活性剤(Pluronic P123=EO20PO70EO20)を攪拌溶解させた強酸性溶液に、テトラエチルオルソシリケートを滴下して20時間攪拌した後、80℃において一晩熟成させ得られたシリカ前駆体を洗浄、室温において乾燥、500℃で焼成し、マイクロ孔とメソ孔を有する多孔質シリカ粒子を得られるとしている。
また、テフロン容器内で、前記非イオン界面活性剤P123を水および塩酸の混合液に35℃において一晩攪拌した後、攪拌したままテトラエチルオルソシリケートを滴下し、5分間攪拌した後、混合液を35℃で20時間、さらに異なる温度で24時間熟成させたものを、ろ過および洗浄し、乾燥および550℃で焼成することより、ロッド状のメソポーラスシリカ粒子を得る方法も知られている(非特許文献3)。
For example, a method of synthesizing porous silica particles using a triblock copolymer which is a nonionic surfactant as a surfactant and a silicate ester is described in Science (Non-patent Document 1) and JACS. (Non-Patent Document 2). According to the corresponding report, tetraethyl orthosilicate was added dropwise to a strongly acidic solution in which a nonionic surfactant (Pluronic P123 = EO 20 PO 70 EO 20 ) was stirred and dissolved, and the mixture was aged at 80 ° C. overnight. The obtained silica precursor is washed, dried at room temperature, and calcined at 500 ° C. to obtain porous silica particles having micropores and mesopores.
In a Teflon container, the nonionic surfactant P123 was stirred overnight at 35 ° C. in a mixture of water and hydrochloric acid, and then tetraethylorthosilicate was added dropwise with stirring, and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. A method of obtaining rod-shaped mesoporous silica particles is also known by filtering and washing, aging at 550 ° C. after aging at 35 ° C. for 20 hours and further at different temperatures (non-patent document). Reference 3).

しかしながら、これらの方法では、残念ながら、反応に長時間を要し、また均一で長尺状の繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を得ることが困難であった。   However, these methods unfortunately require a long time for the reaction, and it is difficult to obtain uniform and long fibrous porous silica particles.

一方、非イオン性界面活性剤として前記したP123を用い、塩化カリウムを38℃下で、塩酸水溶液に溶解させ、攪拌の下、テトラエチルオルソシリケートを加え、24時間、攪拌した後、100℃で24時間、オートクレーブ加熱を行い、繊維状のメソポーラスシリカ粒子を合成する方法も提案されている(非特許文献4及び非特許文献5)。   On the other hand, using the above-mentioned P123 as a nonionic surfactant, potassium chloride was dissolved in an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution at 38 ° C., tetraethyl orthosilicate was added with stirring, and the mixture was stirred for 24 hours. A method of synthesizing fibrous mesoporous silica particles by performing autoclave heating for a period of time has also been proposed (Non-patent Documents 4 and 5).

しかし、この方法は、攪拌時間が長く、更には24時間の熟成が必要となる等の長時間の合成やオートクレーブ加熱が必要であり、また得られた合成物についても、マイクロ孔容量が0.05ml/g以下と小さく、KCl塩の添加によって0.01ml/gとさらに減少している。(非特許文献5、比較例1)
また、繊維の長さや幅など、繊維全体の均一性が必ずしも十分なものではなかった。当該研究目的が、生成物の水蒸気、熱水等の水熱条件下での生成物の安定性向上にあり、その向上にはマイクロ孔の存在が重要であるとしながら、当該合成方法では金属塩の添加がむしろ障害となっていることが明らかである。
However, this method requires a long stirring time and further requires 24 hours of aging and autoclave heating, and the resultant product also has a micropore capacity of 0. It is as small as 05 ml / g or less and further decreased to 0.01 ml / g by the addition of KCl salt. (Non-Patent Document 5, Comparative Example 1)
Moreover, the uniformity of the whole fiber, such as the length and width of the fiber, is not always sufficient. The purpose of the study is to improve the stability of the product under hydrothermal conditions such as water vapor and hot water, and the presence of micropores is important for the improvement. It is clear that the addition of is rather an obstacle.

本発明は、上記のような実情に鑑みなされたものであって、繊維長が数百ミクロンメートル以上と長く、均一であり、しかも、細孔特性が制御され、0.1ml/g以上のマイクロ孔容量を有する、繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を短時間に合成する効率的な方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the fiber length is as long as several hundreds of micrometers or more, is uniform, has fine pore characteristics, and has a micrometer of 0.1 ml / g or more.

In the present invention, in order to solve the above problems, as a result of intensive studies, a relatively inexpensive nonionic surfactant is used as a structure control reagent, and a silicate ester such as silicon alkoxide is mixed with this acidic aqueous solution. In addition, when the reaction is carried out by adding a metal salt to the reaction system, the pore characteristics are controlled so that the fiber length is long and uniform in a short time, and the micropore volume can be maintained above a certain amount. In addition, the inventors have found that fibrous porous silica particles having a length of several hundred microns or more can be obtained, and have completed the present invention.
That is, according to this application, the following invention is provided.

<6> The fibrous porous material according to any one of <1> to <5> above, wherein the nonionic surfactant is a triblock copolymer containing polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide. A method for producing silica particles.

本発明の製造方法によれば、ケイ酸エステルをシリカ原料としてこれまで極めて困難であった、長繊維状でマイクロ孔容量が大きく、且つマイクロ孔がメソ孔に通じ、均一で、しかも細孔特性が制御された繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を簡便かつ短時間に合成することができる。
このようにして得られる繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子は、多数のマイクロ孔による強い吸着能と、長いメソ孔を移動することによる長い滞留時間が、見かけ上より高い吸着能として発現し、加えて吸着分子がメソ孔内を移動する際の抵抗が小さく、高い粒子内拡散能が発揮されるため、シリカ特有の易脱離能は損なわれない。
この有機的に連結するマイクロ孔とメソ孔の協同的な吸着現象は、繊維長が長く、マイクロ孔容量が大きい程、高い吸着能が発現するので、形状選択能を発揮して効率的に種々の有用な分子、イオンをトラップすることができ、工業用および環境保全の両面で有用な、分子篩い、触媒担体、触媒さらにはセンサー等の機能性セラミックス素材として活用できる。とくに、繊維状というマクロ形態を活かした、高性能吸着剤としての利用価値が極めて高いものである。
According to the production method of the present invention, silicate ester is a silica raw material, which has been extremely difficult until now, is a long fiber shape, has a large micropore capacity, and the micropores pass through mesopores, and is uniform and has pore characteristics. Can be synthesized easily and in a short time.
The fibrous porous silica particles obtained in this way have a strong adsorption ability due to a large number of micropores and a long residence time due to the movement of long mesopores, which is apparently higher than the apparent adsorption ability. Since the resistance when the molecules move in the mesopores is small and high intra-particle diffusivity is exhibited, the easy desorption ability peculiar to silica is not impaired.
This cooperative adsorption phenomenon of organically connected micropores and mesopores exhibits a higher adsorption ability as the fiber length is longer and the micropore capacity is larger. Can be used as functional ceramic materials such as molecular sieves, catalyst carriers, catalysts, and sensors, which are useful for both industrial and environmental conservation purposes. In particular, it has a very high utility value as a high-performance adsorbent utilizing the macro form of fiber.

本発明の繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子の製造方法は、酸性水溶液、非イオン性界面活性剤、ケイ酸エステル及び水を含む混合液を、金属塩の存在下で反応させて、マイクロ孔容積0.10〜0.25ml/gを有し、好ましくは、長さ数百ミクロンメートル以上の繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を製造することを特徴としている。   The method for producing fibrous porous silica particles of the present invention comprises reacting a mixed solution containing an acidic aqueous solution, a nonionic surfactant, a silicate ester and water in the presence of a metal salt to give a micropore volume of 0. It is characterized by producing fibrous porous silica particles having a length of 10 to 0.25 ml / g, and preferably having a length of several hundred micrometers or more.

すなわち、本発明方法においては、非イオン性界面活性剤の自己組織化を利用し、混合溶液内において規則構造を形成した非イオン性界面活性剤ミセルを鋳型として、ケイ酸エステルを非イオン性界面活性剤、オキソニウムイオン、陰イオンを介した相互作用により非イオン性界面活性剤ミセルの周囲に配列させ、最後に焼成によって非イオン性界面活性剤ミセルの鋳型部分のみを除去することにより、得られるシリカに非イオン性界面活性剤ミセル由来の規則的な細孔構造を付与することを基本とするものであるが、反応系に金属塩を添加することによって、反応溶液を均質化することで、ミセル構造の安定化を図り、繊維状形態の基本構造単位と考えられる個々のロッド状粒子の伸張を促す反応温度において、短時間の攪拌工程を経由することによって、ロッド状粒子間の連結を促進させ、さらに一定温度で熟成させ、均質で長い繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を効率的に得ることを本旨とする。
本発明のマイクロ孔容量を一定量以上に保持し、且つ長さ数百ミクロンメートル以上の繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を効率的に製造するための好ましい条件を更に詳細に説明する。
本発明の繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子はほぼ同じ大きさのロッド状粒子(基本粒子)の連鎖体であり(図1(a)及び(b))、その前駆体であるシリカ種と界面活性剤とのロッド状ナノ複合体の生成、成長、連鎖の過程を厳密に制御することによって、繊維長並びにマイクロ孔容積が決定される。
繊維長を長くするためには、上記ロッド状ナノ複合体の長さ自体がまず図1に示すように1〜2μmに成長する反応条件でなければならない。反応系内に添加された金属塩は、水分子との強い相互作用によって、水分子と界面活性剤との相互作用を弱め、界面活性剤はより疎水的になる。この結果、反応系がより均質化することで、ミセルの形成が促進され、さらに高次ミセル構造の安定化を図り、本発明においては繊維状粒子の基本構造単位であるロッド状ナノ複合体間の一様な連鎖が促され、最終的に長さの均質な繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子が生成することになる。
一方、ロッド状ナノ複合体の長さは、攪拌反応の温度に強く依存する。本発明で使用する非イオン界面活性剤(ポリエチレンオキシド−ポリプロピレンオキシド−ポリエチレンオシキドを含むトリブロック共重合体P123)とシリカ種との塩酸水溶液中での協同的な秩序形成において、比較的低温(30℃未満)並びに50℃超では、ロッド状ナノ複合体は1μm以上には伸張しない。さらに、1μm以上に伸張する温度範囲であっても、攪拌時間によっては、球状ナノ複合体となってしまうことがあり、繊維状粒子が得られない。またロッド状ナノ複合体となっても1μm以上に成長することはなく、さらに成長したとしても短い繊維状粒子となってしまう。
すなわち、図2は、攪拌時間が短い場合の例(比較例2)で、攪拌温度45℃で、20分間攪拌して得られた最終生物のSEM像であり、基本粒子は、球状ナノ複合体となり、粒子形態は繊維状に成長することはない。
図3は、攪拌時間が長い場合の例(比較例3)であり、攪拌温度45℃で、20時間攪拌して得られた最終生物のSEM像であり、ロッド状粒子は1μm以上であるが、繊維長は不均一で、しかも短く、この特徴は攪拌時間3時間経過後から既に認められる。
このことは、熟成温度によって、メソ孔径が変化することから明らかなように(実施例5)、本繊維状多孔質粒子の前駆体が、“準安定状態”にあることに起因している。即ち、攪拌時間を長くすると、一旦成長した繊維状多孔質粒子の前駆体が短く、しかも不揃いになることを示している。
また、本発明に係る、非イオン界面活性剤を使用して得られるシリカ多孔性粒子のメソ孔とマイクロ孔は、それぞれ疎水部(ポリプロピレンオキシド基)と親水部(ポリエチレンオキシド基)の除去された後の痕跡として形成される。この時、両者の親疎水性の程度は反応条件に敏感であり、メソ孔と同時にマイクロ孔の大きさや量は反応条件によって大きな影響を受ける。例えば、マイクロ孔容量は、反応条件、特に熟成温度や攪拌温度ばかりでなく、攪拌時間にも敏感であり、攪拌時間が長くなる程マイクロ孔容量は減少し、たとえば、比較例3の場合(攪拌時間20時間)、0.1ml/g未満となってしまう。
さらに、シリコンアルコキシドを原料とする場合、シリカの縮合が進行するに従いアルコールが発生し、生成物の形態並びに細孔特性に影響することから、反応系からアルコールを除去する操作が一般に行われるが、非特許文献5のように、攪拌時間を24時間として、熟成反応を100℃で24時間行った場合には、マイクロ孔容量は0.01ml/gと著しく小さくなってしまう。
したがって、本発明において、長さ数百ミクロンメートル以上且つマイクロ孔容量0.10〜0.25ml/gを有する繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子を製造するためには、ロッド状ナノ複合体が1μm以上に伸張する条件下で、特に金属塩の添加と攪拌時間を短くすることが極めて重要なファクターとなる。
That is, in the method of the present invention, nonionic surfactant micelles that form a regular structure in a mixed solution using self-organization of a nonionic surfactant are used as a template, and a silicate ester is used as a nonionic interface. It is obtained by arranging around the nonionic surfactant micelle by interaction through the activator, oxonium ion, and anion, and finally removing only the template part of the nonionic surfactant micelle by baking. It is based on imparting a regular pore structure derived from nonionic surfactant micelles to the silica obtained, but by adding a metal salt to the reaction system, the reaction solution is homogenized. Through a short stirring step at a reaction temperature that stabilizes the micelle structure and promotes the extension of individual rod-like particles considered to be the basic structural unit of the fibrous form It allows to accelerate the linkage between the rod-shaped particles, aged further at a constant temperature, and spirit to obtain a homogeneous and long fibrous porous silica particles efficiently.
The preferred conditions for efficiently producing fibrous porous silica particles having a micropore volume of the present invention at a certain level or more and having a length of several hundred microns or more will be described in more detail.
The fibrous porous silica particle of the present invention is a chain of rod-like particles (basic particles) having almost the same size (FIGS. 1 (a) and (b)), and the precursor silica type and the surfactant. The fiber length as well as the micropore volume are determined by strictly controlling the process of formation, growth, and chaining of the rod-like nanocomposite.
In order to increase the fiber length, the length of the rod-shaped nanocomposite itself must first be a reaction condition for growing to 1 to 2 μm as shown in FIG. The metal salt added in the reaction system weakens the interaction between the water molecule and the surfactant due to the strong interaction with the water molecule, and the surfactant becomes more hydrophobic. As a result, the homogenization of the reaction system promotes the formation of micelles, further stabilizes the higher-order micelle structure, and in the present invention, between the rod-shaped nanocomposites that are the basic structural units of fibrous particles. Is promoted to form a uniform porous fibrous silica particle having a uniform length.
On the other hand, the length of the rod-shaped nanocomposite strongly depends on the temperature of the stirring reaction. In the cooperative order formation in the hydrochloric acid aqueous solution of the nonionic surfactant (polyblock copolymer P123 containing polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide) and silica species used in the present invention, a relatively low temperature ( Below 30 ° C.) and above 50 ° C., the rod-shaped nanocomposite does not stretch beyond 1 μm. Furthermore, even in a temperature range extending to 1 μm or more, depending on the stirring time, a spherical nanocomposite may be formed, and fibrous particles cannot be obtained. Moreover, even if it becomes a rod-shaped nanocomposite, it does not grow to 1 μm or more, and even if it grows further, it becomes short fibrous particles.
That is, FIG. 2 is an example of the case where the stirring time is short (Comparative Example 2), which is an SEM image of the final organism obtained by stirring at a stirring temperature of 45 ° C. for 20 minutes, and the basic particles are spherical nanocomposites. Thus, the particle form does not grow into a fibrous form.
FIG. 3 is an example in which the stirring time is long (Comparative Example 3), which is an SEM image of the final product obtained by stirring for 20 hours at a stirring temperature of 45 ° C., and the rod-shaped particles are 1 μm or more. The fiber length is non-uniform and short, and this feature is already observed after 3 hours of stirring time.
This is due to the fact that the precursor of the present fibrous porous particles is in a “metastable state” as is apparent from the fact that the mesopore diameter varies depending on the aging temperature (Example 5). That is, when the stirring time is lengthened, the precursors of the fibrous porous particles once grown are short and irregular.
Further, the mesopores and micropores of the silica porous particles obtained by using the nonionic surfactant according to the present invention have the hydrophobic portion (polypropylene oxide group) and the hydrophilic portion (polyethylene oxide group) removed, respectively. Formed as a later trace. At this time, the degree of hydrophilicity / hydrophobicity of both is sensitive to the reaction conditions, and the size and amount of the micropores as well as the mesopores are greatly influenced by the reaction conditions. For example, the micropore volume is sensitive not only to the reaction conditions, particularly the aging temperature and the stirring temperature, but also to the stirring time. The longer the stirring time, the smaller the micropore volume. For example, in the case of Comparative Example 3 (stirring 20 hours), it becomes less than 0.1 ml / g.
Furthermore, when silicon alkoxide is used as a raw material, an alcohol is generated as the condensation of silica proceeds, and this affects the morphology and pore characteristics of the product, so the operation of removing the alcohol from the reaction system is generally performed. As in Non-Patent Document 5, when the stirring time is 24 hours and the ripening reaction is performed at 100 ° C. for 24 hours, the micropore volume is significantly reduced to 0.01 ml / g.
Therefore, in the present invention, in order to produce fibrous porous silica particles having a length of several hundred micrometers or more and a micropore capacity of 0.10 to 0.25 ml / g, the rod-shaped nanocomposite has a thickness of 1 μm or more. Under the conditions of stretching, it is a very important factor to shorten the addition time of the metal salt and the stirring time.

これまでに、繊維状粒子の生成を促進するためには、原料混合比の他に、攪拌速度と攪拌時間、並びに攪拌及び熟成反応温度等の基本的な反応条件を厳密に制御することが重要であるとされているが、従来の方法の多くは、長時間攪拌することが一般的で、その間に繊維状形状が破壊され、短い繊維状粒子しか得ることができず、また多数のミクロ孔を形成することが困難であった。さらに、ケイ酸エステルをシリカ原料とする場合、広い反応条件で伸張したロッド状粒子が生成することが分かっているが、ロッド状粒子を有効に連結するためには、上記の基本的な反応条件を制御するだけでは難しい。
本発明の、ケイ酸エステルをシリカ原料とした繊維状多孔質シリカ粒子の製造方法は、上記の基本的な反応条件を踏まえつつ、反応溶液全体の均質化に有効な金属塩の添加によって、マイクロ孔容量を0.10〜0.25ml/gに保持したまま、均質で長い繊維状多孔性シリカ粒子が得られるという、従来の技術常識では予期することのできない知見を踏まえて完成されたものである。
マイクロ孔容量が0.10ml/g未満であると、高い吸着能が発揮されず、またマイクロ孔容量が0.25ml/gを超えるものは、高い吸着能が期待されるもののその合成が困難となる。
Until now, in order to promote the formation of fibrous particles, it is important to strictly control basic reaction conditions such as stirring speed and stirring time, and stirring and aging reaction temperature in addition to the raw material mixing ratio. However, in many of the conventional methods, it is common to stir for a long time, during which the fibrous shape is destroyed, and only short fibrous particles can be obtained. It was difficult to form. Furthermore, when silica ester is used as a silica raw material, it is known that rod-like particles stretched under a wide range of reaction conditions are produced, but in order to connect rod-like particles effectively, the basic reaction conditions described above are used. It is difficult just to control.
The method for producing fibrous porous silica particles using a silicate ester as a silica raw material of the present invention is based on the above basic reaction conditions, and by adding a metal salt effective for homogenization of the entire reaction solution, It was completed based on the knowledge that could not be anticipated by conventional technical common sense that uniform and long fibrous porous silica particles can be obtained while maintaining the pore volume at 0.10 to 0.25 ml / g. is there.
When the micropore volume is less than 0.10 ml / g, high adsorption ability is not exhibited, and when the micropore volume exceeds 0.25 ml / g, high adsorption ability is expected, but its synthesis is difficult. Become.

すなわち、金属塩を添加しなくても、ロッド状粒子自体の生成は認められるが、ロッド状粒子同士の連結すなわち繊維形状は金属塩の添加の有無により大きな影響を受けることが判明した。
