【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法および脱臭剤用活性炭に関し、詳しくは、硫黄を含む臭気物質の浄化を行うことができる臭素化合物が添着された脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法および脱臭剤用活性炭に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年の環境問題への関心の高まりにともない、廃棄物の処理は、負荷を低減した後に環境へ排出することでなされている。このような処理を行う施設(装置)のひとつとして、下水処理場がある。
【0003】
下水処理場には、廃水の処理を行うだけでなく、廃水自身および廃水の処理時に生じる悪臭の浄化が求められている。そして、一般的には、悪臭の浄化は、多孔質体に臭気物質を吸着させることで行われている。
【0004】
そして、多孔質体には、活性炭に薬剤を添着した脱臭剤用活性炭が広く用いられている。薬剤が添着すると、臭気物質は添着した薬剤と化学的に反応して脱臭剤用活性炭に吸着されるようになる。すなわち、臭気物質の吸着性能は、薬剤の添着により大幅に向上する。そして、活性炭に吸着される薬剤を変更することで、脱臭剤用活性炭が吸着する臭気物質を選択することができる。
【0005】
たとえば、臭素化合物を添着することで、脱臭剤用活性炭は硫化メチルや二硫化メチルといった硫黄を含む臭気物質を吸着浄化する。
【0006】
活性炭への臭素化合物の添着は、臭素化合物の水溶液を調製し、活性炭にこの水溶液を浸漬させる方法や、臭素ガス(Br2)を活性炭に吸着させる方法により行われていた。(特許文献1参照。)
しかしながら、臭素化合物を添着した活性炭においては、添着した臭素化合物に対する吸着性能が十分に得られているとは言えなかった。さらに、臭素ガスを吸着させる方法においては、臭素ガスは、毒性が強いため取り扱いに多大なコストが要求されていた。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記実状に鑑みてなされたものであり、臭気物質の吸着性能にすぐれた臭素化合物を添着した脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法および脱臭剤用活性炭を提供することを課題とする。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために本発明者は、活性炭の吸着性能の低下が臭素化合物が活性炭と反応を生じることにより生じることを発見し、活性炭を酸化剤で処理した後に臭素化合物を添着させる製造方法とすることで上記課題を解決できることを見出した。
【0010】
すなわち、本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法は、活性炭を酸溶液で洗浄する酸化工程と、酸化工程が施された活性炭を水洗する水洗工程と、水洗工程が施された活性炭を乾燥させる乾燥工程と、乾燥工程が施された活性炭を臭化水素を含有する臭化水素水溶液に浸漬する添着工程と、を有することを特徴とする。
【0011】
また、本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、上述の製造方法を用いて製造された脱臭剤用活性炭であり、活性炭を酸溶液で洗浄する酸化工程と、酸化工程が施された活性炭を水洗する水洗工程と、水洗工程が施された活性炭を乾燥させる乾燥工程と、乾燥工程が施された活性炭を臭化水素を含有する臭化水素水溶液に浸漬する添着工程と、を施してなることを特徴とする。
【0012】
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、硫黄を含む臭気物質に対する吸着性能が高くなっている。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
(脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法)
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法は、活性炭を酸溶液で洗浄する酸化工程と、酸化工程が施された活性炭を水洗する水洗工程と、水洗工程が施された活性炭を乾燥させる乾燥工程と、乾燥工程が施された活性炭を臭化水素を含有する臭化水素水溶液に浸漬する添着工程と、を有する。
【0014】
すなわち、本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法は、臭素化合物を添着させる前に酸溶液で活性炭の処理を、行っている。酸溶液で活性炭の処理を行うことで、活性炭が添着した臭素化合物と反応しなくなり、十分な吸着性能が得られなくなっていた。
【0015】
さらに詳しくは、活性炭に添着した臭素化合物は、Br中間体による酸化反応により硫黄を含む臭気物質を分解浄化している。この分解浄化を行うBr中間体は非常に不安定である。従来の活性炭の表面に臭素化合物が直接添着している活性炭においては、Br中間体が活性炭と反応(還元反応)を生じることで臭気物質を十分に分解できなくなっていた。
【0016】
本発明の製造方法は、臭素化合物を添着させる前に酸溶液で処理(洗浄)をしていることから、活性炭の還元性が低下した状態で臭素化合物を添着させている。すなわち、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、活性炭の還元性が低下することにより、Br中間体が活性炭により分解されなくなっている。この結果、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、高い浄化性能を発揮する。さらに、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、添着した臭素化合物の分解が抑えられていることから、長期間にわたって高い浄化性能を発揮できる。
【0017】
酸化工程は、活性炭の還元性を酸溶液により低下させる工程であり、活性炭の還元性を、担持後の活性炭におけるヨウ素吸着量が920ml/g以下となるように、ヨウ素吸着量が1030ml/g以下となるまで低下できる処理であれば、その処理方法は、特に限定されない。また、酸化剤も溶くに限定されるものではなく、硝酸、硫酸、塩酸等の酸を用いることができる。
【0018】
酸化工程は、活性炭を酸溶液で洗浄する工程であることが好ましい。なお、酸溶液とは、酸水溶液等の酸の溶解した溶解液を含む溶液を示す。また、洗浄とは、活性炭の表面に酸溶液を接触させる処理を示す。活性炭を酸溶液で洗浄することで活性炭の還元性を低下させることができる。そして、酸化剤が溶液であることから、活性炭の表面の全面に酸化剤が接触できる。すなわち、活性炭の還元性をムラなく低下させることができる。さらに、酸溶液は、取り扱いが容易であるため、処理コストの上昇を抑えることができる。
【0019】
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法は、酸化工程が施された活性炭を水洗する水洗工程と、水洗工程が施された活性炭を乾燥させる乾燥工程と、を有する。乾燥工程は、水洗した活性炭を水分が5%以下になるまで乾燥させる乾燥工程であることが好ましい。水洗工程で水洗した後に乾燥工程において水分が5%以下になるまで乾燥させることで、その後の添着工程における臭素化合物の添着をムラを生じさせることなく行うことが可能となる。
水洗工程は、排水のpH6.0以上となるまで水洗する工程であることが好ましい。
【0020】
酸溶液は、硝酸水溶液であることが好ましい。酸溶液として硝酸水溶液を用いることで、活性炭の還元性を低下させることができる。硝酸水溶液の濃度は、特に限定されるものではないが、濃度が過剰に高くなると溶液の取り扱いが困難になる。硝酸水溶液の濃度は、0.3Nであることが好ましい。
【0021】
添着工程は、活性炭に臭素化合物を添着させる工程であり、活性炭に臭素化合物を添着させることができる処理であれば、その処理方法は、特に限定されない。すなわち、従来公知の手段により添着を行うことができる。臭素化合物の水溶液を調製し、この水溶液中に活性炭を浸漬する工程であることが好ましい。
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法において添着工程は、乾燥工程が施された活性炭を臭化水素を含有する臭化水素水溶液に浸漬する工程である。
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法において臭素化合物は、臭化水素である。添着工程は、活性炭のpHが2.3以下となるまで活性炭に臭化水素を添着させる工程であることが好ましい。
【0022】
臭素化合物は、活性炭100重量部に対して臭素換算で1〜30重量部で添着されることが好ましい。1重量部未満では添着の効果が得られず、30重量部を超えると臭素化合物が活性炭に添着しにくくなる。
【0023】
また、臭素化合物も従来公知の化合物を用いることができる。たとえば、臭化水素、臭化カリウムをあげることができる。
【0024】
本発明の製造方法において、活性炭は、通常の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造に用いられる活性炭を用いることができる。活性炭は、BET比表面積が50〜2000m2/gであることが好ましい。また、活性炭の原料は、限定されるものではなく、ヤシ、石炭など従来公知の材質からの活性炭を用いることができる。
【0025】
活性炭は、ヨウ素吸着量が小さいことが好ましい。活性炭のヨウ素吸着量は細孔径/比表面積によって異なるが、同じ活性炭であっても表面状態が変化すれば吸着量も変化する。本発明の製造方法においては、ヨウ素の吸着量を小さくすることで、所望の性能の活性炭を製造できる。好ましくは、ヨウ素吸着量は1030mg/g以下である。
【0026】
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法は、臭素化合物を添着させる前に酸化剤で処理をしていることから、活性炭の還元性が低下した状態で臭素化合物を添着させている。すなわち、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、活性炭の還元性が低下することにより、Br中間体が活性炭により分解されなくなっている。この結果、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、高い浄化性能を発揮する。
【0027】

【0028】
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、臭素化合物を添着させる前に酸溶液で、行っている。酸溶液で処理をしていることから、活性炭の還元性が低下した状態で臭素化合物を添着している。すなわち、本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、活性炭の還元性が低下することにより、Br中間体が活性炭により分解されなくなっている。この結果、本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、長期間にわたって高い浄化性能を発揮する。
【0029】
酸化工程は、活性炭の還元性を、酸溶液より低下させる工程であり、活性炭の還元性を低下できる処理であれば、その処理方法は、特に限定されない。また、酸溶液も特に限定されるものではなく、硝酸、硫酸、塩酸等の酸を用いることができる。
【0030】
酸化工程は、活性炭を酸溶液で洗浄する工程であることが好ましい。なお、酸溶液とは、酸水溶液等の酸の溶解した溶解液を含む溶液を示す。また、洗浄とは、活性炭の表面に酸溶液を接触させる処理を示す。活性炭を酸溶液で洗浄することで活性炭の還元性を低下させることができる。そして、酸化剤が溶液であることから、活性炭の表面の全面に酸化剤が接触できる。すなわち、活性炭の還元性をムラなく低下させることができる。さらに、酸溶液は、取り扱いが容易であるため、処理コストの上昇を抑えることができる。
【0031】
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、酸化工程が施された活性炭を水洗する水洗工程と、水洗工程が施された活性炭を乾燥させる乾燥工程と、を有する。水洗工程で水洗した後に乾燥工程において乾燥させることで、その後の添着工程における臭素化合物の添着をムラを生じさせることなく行うことが可能となる。
【0032】
酸溶液は、硝酸水溶液であることが好ましい。酸溶液として硝酸水溶液を用いることで、活性炭の還元性を低下させることができる。硝酸水溶液の濃度は、特に限定されるものではないが、濃度が過剰に高くなると溶液の取り扱いが困難になる。硝酸水溶液の濃度は、0.3Nであることが好ましい。
【0033】
添着工程は、活性炭に臭素化合物を添着させる工程であり、活性炭に臭素化合物を添着させることができる処理であれば、その処理方法は、特に限定されない。すなわち、従来公知の手段により添着を行うことができる。臭素化合物の水溶液を調製し、この水溶液中に活性炭を浸漬する工程であることが好ましい。また、臭素化合物も従来公知の化合物を用いることができる。たとえば、臭化水素、臭化カリウムをあげることができる。

本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭において臭素化合物は、臭化水素である。添着工程は、活性炭のpHが2.3以下となるまで活性炭に臭化水素を添着させる工程であることが好ましい。
【0034】
活性炭は、通常の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造に用いられる活性炭を用いることができる。活性炭は、BET比表面積が50〜2000m2/gであることが好ましい。また、活性炭の原料は、限定されるものではなく、ヤシ、石炭など従来公知の材質からの活性炭を用いることができる。
【0035】
活性炭は、担持後の活性炭におけるヨウ素吸着量が920mg/g以下となるように、ヨウ素吸着量が1030mg/g以下である。そして、活性炭は、ヨウ素吸着量が小さいことが好ましい。
【0036】
本発明の吸着剤用活性炭は、pHが低いほど好ましい。pHが低いほど活性炭上で、添着した臭素化合物のBr中間体が発生しやすいためである。吸着剤用活性炭のpHは2.5以下であることが好ましく、pHが2.3以下であることがより好ましい。
本発明の吸着剤用活性炭は、臭素化合物は、臭化水素であり、添着工程は、活性炭のpHが2.3以下となるように活性炭に臭化水素を添着させる工程であることが好ましい。
本発明の吸着剤用活性炭は、添着工程後の活性炭のpHが2.3以下であることが好ましい。

なお、吸着剤用活性炭のpHは、活性炭を試料を3±0.1gで秤量し、100mlビーカーに投入し、さらに、純水100mlを加え、電熱器上で加熱した。このビーカーを攪拌することなしに5分間沸騰させた後に冷却した。室温にまで冷却したら、純水を加えて100mlとし、よく攪拌した後に水溶液のpHを測定し、この値を活性炭のpHとした。
【0038】
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、臭素化合物を添着させる前に酸化剤で処理をしていることから、活性炭の還元性が低下した状態で臭素化合物を添着している。すなわち、本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、活性炭の還元性が低下することにより、Br中間体が活性炭により分解されなくなっている。この結果、本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭は、高い浄化性能を発揮する。
【0039】

以下、実施例を用いて本発明を説明する。
【0040】
本発明の実施例として、脱臭剤用活性炭を製造した。なお、以下の実施例において脱臭剤用活性炭となる活性炭は、φ4mm、BET比表面積が1100m2/g、ヨウ素吸着量が1050mg/gの石炭系のペレット状の活性炭が用いられた。

【0042】
つづいて、硝酸水溶液1200ml中に800gの活性炭を浸漬した。硝酸水溶液中への活性炭の浸漬は、活性炭を水溶液に投入した後に完全に浸漬するまで十分に攪拌を行った後に、1時間保持した。
【0043】
保持後、濾過を行い活性炭を取りだした。取り出された活性炭は、排水のpHが6.0以上となるまで水洗した。その後、乾燥炉をにより、水分が5%以下になるまで80℃で乾燥させた。

【0049】
pHの測定は、試料を3±0.1gで秤量し、100mlビーカーに投入し、さらに、純水100mlを加え、電熱器上で加熱した。このビーカーを攪拌することなしに5分間沸騰させた後に冷却した。室温にまで冷却したら、純水を加えて100mlとし、よく攪拌した後に水溶液のpHを測定し、この値を活性炭のpHとした。

【0072】
(評価)
実施例及び比較例の脱臭剤用活性炭の評価として、硫化メチルの浄化を行い浄化率を測定した。
【0073】
硫化メチルの浄化は、脱臭剤用活性炭を内部に保持したカラム内に硫化メチルを含有した試験ガスを流通させ、カラムを通過した試験ガス中の硫化メチル濃度を測定して浄化率を得た。
【0074】
具体的には、まず、実施例あるいは比較例の脱臭剤用活性炭を円筒形のカラム内に6ml充填させた。このカラム内で脱臭剤用活性炭は、φ30mm、軸方向の長さ85mmの空間を占めている。
【0075】
そして、硫化メチルを含有させた試験ガスを空間速度33333hr-1、線速度11.8cm/secの流速でカラム内に流した。試験ガスは、空気に硫化メチルを10ppmの割合となるように含有させたガスであり、カラム内へは、25℃、湿度60%の状態で供給された。
【0076】
カラムを通過した試験ガス中の硫化メチルの含有量を測定し、カラム通過前の含有量から脱臭剤用活性炭の硫化メチルの浄化率を求めた。浄化率の測定結果を図1および図2に示した。なお、硫化メチル量の測定は、ガスクロマトグラフ質量分析計(島津製作所製、GC−8AP)を用いて行われた。なお、分析条件は、カラム;β,β’−ODPN25%Chromosorb 60〜80メッシュ、φ3.0mm、長さ3000mm、温度;注入口/検出器:150℃、カラム:70℃で行われた。
【0077】
図1より、HBrの添着前に活性炭の酸洗浄を行った実施例1〜3の脱臭剤用活性炭は、比較例よりも高い浄化率を持っていることがわかる。また、各実施例の脱臭剤用活性炭は、時間が経過しても浄化率がほぼ維持されている。これに対して、比較例の脱臭剤用活性炭は、浄化時間がすすむにつれて浄化率が低下していき、120分後の浄化率は、浄化試験開始時より大幅に低下している。
【0078】
すなわち、各実施例の脱臭剤用活性炭は、硫化メチルに対する高い浄化率を長時間維持できている。
【0079】
また、図2より、実施例1および実施例4〜5の脱臭剤用活性炭は、いずれも比較例1及び3よりも高い浄化率を持っていることがわかる。さらに、各実施例においては、ヨウ素吸着量が小さいほど浄化率が高くなっていることがわかる。
【0080】
【発明の効果】
本発明の脱臭剤用活性炭の製造方法は、臭素化合物を添着させる前に酸化剤で処理をしていることから、活性炭の還元性が低下した状態で臭素化合物を添着させている。すなわち、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、活性炭の還元性が低下することにより、Br中間体が活性炭により分解されなくなっている。この結果、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、浄化性能の低下が抑えられ、高い浄化性能を発揮する。さらに、本発明により製造された脱臭剤用活性炭は、臭気物質の除去を長時間行っても、十分に高い浄化性能が維持される効果を示す。

[0002]
[Prior art]
With the recent increase in interest in environmental problems, waste treatment is performed by reducing the load and discharging it to the environment. One facility (apparatus) that performs such treatment is a sewage treatment plant.
[0003]
Sewage treatment plants are required not only to treat wastewater, but also to purify the bad odor generated during the treatment of the wastewater itself and the wastewater. In general, malodors are purified by adsorbing odorous substances to the porous body.

More specifically, the bromine compound attached to the activated carbon decomposes and purifies odorous substances containing sulfur by an oxidation reaction with a Br intermediate. The Br intermediate that performs this decomposition and purification is very unstable. In the activated carbon in which the bromine compound is directly attached to the surface of the conventional activated carbon, the odorous substance cannot be sufficiently decomposed because the Br intermediate reacts with the activated carbon (reduction reaction).

[0022]
The bromine compound is preferably added at 1 to 30 parts by weight in terms of bromine with respect to 100 parts by weight of activated carbon. If the amount is less than 1 part by weight, the effect of impregnation cannot be obtained.

【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described using examples.
[0040]
As an example of the present invention, activated carbon for a deodorant was produced. In addition, the activated carbon used as the deodorant activated carbon in the following examples was coal-based pellet-shaped activated carbon having a diameter of 4 mm, a BET specific surface area of 1100 m 2 / g, and an iodine adsorption amount of 1050 mg / g .
[0041]
Example 1
First, a 0.3N nitric acid aqueous solution was prepared.
[0042]
Subsequently, 800 g of activated carbon was immersed in 1200 ml of an aqueous nitric acid solution. The immersion of the activated carbon in the nitric acid aqueous solution was maintained for 1 hour after sufficiently stirring until the activated carbon was completely immersed after being charged into the aqueous solution.
[0043]
After holding, filtration was performed to take out activated carbon. The extracted activated carbon was washed with water until the pH of the waste water reached 6.0 or higher. Then, it dried at 80 degreeC with the drying furnace until the water | moisture content became 5% or less.
[0044]
Here, the moisture content, packing density, benzene adsorption amount, iodine adsorption amount and pH of the activated carbon after drying were measured. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.

The water content was measured by weighing about 10 g of a sample into a flat weighing bottle with a known weight, expanding the sample in the weighing bottle so that the sample had a uniform thickness, and plugging it, and weighing the weight accurately to the unit of 10 mg. Subsequently, the stopper was removed, and the weighing bottle and stopper were put into a dryer and dried at 115 ± 5 ° C. for 3 hours. After drying, the mixture was cooled in a desiccator, stoppered, and the weight was measured. The amount of change in weight before and after drying was taken as the amount of water.

The weights of the graduated cylinder containing the sample and the graduated cylinder not containing the sample were measured to the nearest 0.1 g. The weight of the sample was measured from both weights, and the packing density was calculated.
[0047]
The amount of benzene adsorbed is measured by putting about 10 g of a sample into an adsorption test U-tube whose weight has been measured to the nearest 1 mg and measuring the total weight. A U-tube is set in a benzene adsorption test device adjusted to 25 ° C ± 0.5 ° C, and a saturated vapor of dried benzene or benzene gas diluted to 1/10 is vented, so that the weight change of the container is within 5 mg.

After shaking for 15 minutes at room temperature using a shaker, transfer to a 50 ml sedimentation tube and precipitate with a centrifuge. 10 ml of the supernatant after separation is taken and titrated with 0.1 mol / l sodium thiosulfate solution.

[0072]
(Evaluation)
As an evaluation of the activated carbon for deodorizers of Examples and Comparative Examples, methyl sulfide was purified and the purification rate was measured.
[0073]
For the purification of methyl sulfide, a test gas containing methyl sulfide was circulated in a column holding activated carbon for deodorizing agent therein, and the concentration of methyl sulfide in the test gas that passed through the column was measured to obtain a purification rate.
[0074]
Specifically, first, 6 ml of activated carbon for deodorizers of Examples or Comparative Examples was packed in a cylindrical column. In this column, the deodorant activated carbon occupies a space of φ30 mm and an axial length of 85 mm.
[0075]
Then, a test gas containing methyl sulfide was flowed into the column at a space velocity of 33333 hr −1 and a linear velocity of 11.8 cm / sec. The test gas was a gas containing methyl sulfide at a ratio of 10 ppm in air, and was supplied into the column at 25 ° C. and humidity 60%.
[0076]
The content of methyl sulfide in the test gas that passed through the column was measured, and the purification rate of methyl sulfide of the activated carbon for deodorizer was determined from the content before passing through the column. The measurement results of the purification rate are shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. In addition, the measurement of the amount of methyl sulfide was performed using the gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (the Shimadzu Corporation make, GC-8AP). The analysis conditions were as follows: column: β, β′-ODPN 25% Chromosorb 60-80 mesh, φ3.0 mm, length 3000 mm, temperature; inlet / detector: 150 ° C., column: 70 ° C.
[0077]
From FIG. 1, it can be seen that the activated carbon for deodorizers of Examples 1 to 3 in which the activated carbon was acid-washed before HBr was attached had a higher purification rate than the comparative example. Moreover, the purification rate of the activated carbon for the deodorizer of each Example is substantially maintained even if time passes. In contrast, the deodorant activated carbon of the comparative example has a purification rate that decreases as the purification time progresses, and the purification rate after 120 minutes is significantly lower than that at the start of the purification test.
[0078]
That is, the deodorant activated carbon of each Example can maintain a high purification rate for methyl sulfide for a long time.
[0079]
Moreover, it turns out that the activated carbon for deodorizers of Example 1 and Examples 4-5 has a purification rate higher than Comparative Examples 1 and 3 from FIG. Furthermore, in each Example, it turns out that the purification rate is so high that the iodine adsorption amount is small.
[0080]
