Description

本発明は、特に導電性ペースト用のフィラーに適した微粒子酸化銀粉末の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing fine-grained silver oxide powder particularly suitable as a filler for conductive paste.

従来技術として特開2005−104825号公報及び特開2003−308730号公報において、導電性フィラー用の微粒子酸化銀粉末の製法が提案されている。
先ず、特開2005−104825号により得られる酸化銀粉末は、銀に還元する温度域も400℃付近であることから、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)のような低融点または耐熱温度が低い材料の基板上に配線や電極を形成する導電性ペーストに用いる導電性フィラーとしては適しておらず、導電性フィラーとして用いられる用途が限定されていた。また、酸化銀生成反応後に得られた微粒子酸化銀に対しては、乾燥工程を経てから更に有機溶媒中で湿式粉砕する処理工程が必要であって工程増となり、その上に、この工程から発生する廃液の処理工程も必要となり、これら工程などによってコスト増となるものであった。
JP-A-2005-104825 and JP-A-2003-308730 have proposed methods for producing fine-grain silver oxide powder for conductive fillers as conventional techniques.
First, since the silver oxide powder obtained by JP-A-2005-104825 has a temperature range for reduction to silver of around 400 ° C., for example, a material having a low melting point or a low heat resistance temperature such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is not suitable as a conductive filler for use in a conductive paste for forming wirings or electrodes on a substrate, and its use as a conductive filler has been limited. In addition, the fine grain silver oxide obtained after the silver oxide production reaction requires a process step of wet pulverization in an organic solvent after passing through a drying step. In addition, a waste liquid treatment process is required, and these processes increase costs.

次に、特開2003−308730号には、ペースト中の酸化銀粉末を150℃の加熱により銀に還元できることが開示されているが、この場合、ペースト中に還元剤を添加することが必要であり、さらに還元剤を添加することによってペーストが変質しやすくなってしまい保管中の品質変化が大きい、ことなどが工業的な問題として存在していた。   Next, JP-A-2003-308730 discloses that the silver oxide powder in the paste can be reduced to silver by heating at 150 ° C. In this case, it is necessary to add a reducing agent to the paste. In addition, the addition of a reducing agent makes it easy for the paste to change in quality, resulting in a large change in quality during storage.

特開2005−104825号公報JP 2005-104825 A 特開2003−308730号公報JP 2003-308730 A 特開2007−126691号公報JP 2007-126691 A 国際公開第2003/085052号International Publication No. 2003/085052

よって本発明の課題は、還元剤を共存させない場合でも、大気中にて従来よりも低い温度で加熱することにより酸化銀が還元して銀を生成する、導電性ペースト用フィラーに適した微細な酸化銀粉末を得ることである。さらには、有機溶媒等を用いた湿式粉砕処理工程を不要とする低コストで、従来よりも大気中低温加熱で銀に還元する酸化銀粉末の製造方法を提供することにある。   Therefore, the problem of the present invention is that even when a reducing agent is not present, the fineness suitable for a filler for conductive paste, in which silver oxide is reduced to form silver by heating at a lower temperature than in the past in the atmosphere. It is to obtain silver oxide powder. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a silver oxide powder which is reduced to silver by heating at a lower temperature in the atmosphere than in the prior art at a low cost which does not require a wet pulverization process using an organic solvent or the like.

このような酸化銀粉末として、酸化銀微粒子表面を高分子有機物で被覆し、大気中にて80℃以上150℃未満の温度域で加熱することにより、高分子有機物被膜の燃焼に伴う発熱エネルギーで酸化銀粉末中の酸素の解離を生じさせ、銀に還元させればよい。これを実現するため、すなわち、酸化銀粒子を被覆する有機物から十分な発熱エネルギーを得てこの発熱エネルギーにより酸化銀の還元を円滑に進めるため、(1)適切な有機物の選定、(2)酸化銀粒子表面を被覆する有機物量の設定、(3)酸化銀粒子の粒径が小さく且つ酸化銀粒子同士の凝集が少ない、ことを同時に達成することにより、大気中にて80℃以上150℃未満で加熱することにより銀に還元する酸化銀粉末が得られるという知見を得て、本発明を完成するに至った。   As such silver oxide powder, the surface of silver oxide fine particles is coated with a polymer organic substance, and heated in the air at a temperature range of 80 ° C. or more and less than 150 ° C., thereby generating heat energy associated with the combustion of the polymer organic substance film. The oxygen in the silver oxide powder may be dissociated and reduced to silver. In order to achieve this, that is, in order to obtain sufficient exothermic energy from the organic substance covering the silver oxide particles and smoothly reduce silver oxide by this exothermic energy, (1) selection of appropriate organic substance, (2) oxidation By simultaneously setting the amount of organic matter covering the surface of the silver particles, (3) the silver oxide particles having a small particle size and little aggregation between the silver oxide particles, 80 ° C. or more and less than 150 ° C. in the air The present invention has been completed by obtaining the knowledge that a silver oxide powder that can be reduced to silver can be obtained by heating at a low temperature.

従来の方法では、銀塩含有水溶液(例えば硝酸銀水溶液)とアルカリ(例えば水酸化ナトリウム水溶液)を反応させて酸化銀粒子を生成する中和反応時において反応スラリー(酸化銀粒子含有スラリー)中に有機物が添加されており、この有機物が酸化銀粒子表面を被覆するものであった。この従来法では、酸化銀粒子表面を被覆する有機物量を十分に確保しようとするとスラリー中に添加する有機物量を多くする必要があり、この添加する有機物量が多い場合には酸化銀粉末が凝集してしまうという問題があった。凝集した場合には、後工程の解砕工程で酸化銀から銀への急激な還元が起こると同時に有機物が燃焼してしまい目的とする酸化銀粉末が得られないものであり、一方、添加する有機物量が前記凝集を生じない程度の量では、酸化銀粉末の大気中加熱時の還元温度が200℃以下にならないというものであった。
さらには、従来の方法では酸化銀粒子表面を被覆した有機物の一部が、酸化銀粉末中の残留ナトリウムイオン等の不純物を除去する目的で行う純水による洗浄時において系外に排出されるため、有機物をその分多く添加する必要があった。
In the conventional method, an organic substance is contained in the reaction slurry (silver oxide particle-containing slurry) during a neutralization reaction in which a silver salt-containing aqueous solution (for example, silver nitrate aqueous solution) and an alkali (for example, sodium hydroxide aqueous solution) are reacted to form silver oxide particles. The organic substance covered the silver oxide particle surface. In this conventional method, it is necessary to increase the amount of organic matter added to the slurry in order to ensure a sufficient amount of organic matter covering the surface of the silver oxide particles. When the amount of added organic matter is large, the silver oxide powder is agglomerated. There was a problem of doing. In the case of agglomeration, a rapid reduction from silver oxide to silver occurs in the subsequent crushing step, and at the same time, the organic matter burns and the desired silver oxide powder cannot be obtained. When the amount of the organic substance is such that the aggregation does not occur, the reduction temperature when the silver oxide powder is heated in the atmosphere does not become 200 ° C. or lower.
Furthermore, in the conventional method, a part of the organic substance covering the surface of the silver oxide particles is discharged out of the system at the time of cleaning with pure water for the purpose of removing impurities such as residual sodium ions in the silver oxide powder. Therefore, it was necessary to add more organic matter.

本発明に係る酸化銀粉末は、予めpHを12程度(好ましくはpH12±1.5)のアルカリ性に調整した水溶液中に、銀塩を6mol/リットル(Lで表わす。)以下の量で含む水溶液と、この銀塩に対し1mol当量以上のアルカリを含む水溶液とを同時投入して反応を行い、一次粒子の小さな酸化銀微粒子を析出させる。なお、この一次粒子はその100個の長辺をSEMによって測定した値の平均値が100nm以下のものが得られる。この酸化銀粒子含有スラリーを洗浄して得られた酸化銀粒子を水に懸濁させたスラリー中に、溶媒に溶解させた高分子有機物を、酸化銀粉末中に含有される銀量に対して0.1〜2.5質量%の範囲で添加することにより、十分な量の有機物を酸化銀粒子に被覆させる。その後、固液分離し乾粉とすることにより、微粒子酸化銀粉末を得ることができる。この酸化銀粒子に被覆させる有機物として、ゼラチンを主成分とする高分子有機物を選択することにより、大気中で80℃以上150℃未満の温度で加熱することにより銀に還元する平均粒径10〜200nmの酸化銀粉末を得ることができる。   The silver oxide powder according to the present invention is an aqueous solution containing a silver salt in an amount of 6 mol / liter (expressed as L) or less in an aqueous solution whose pH is adjusted to be about 12 (preferably pH 12 ± 1.5) in advance. And an aqueous solution containing 1 mol equivalent or more of alkali with respect to the silver salt is reacted simultaneously to precipitate silver oxide fine particles having small primary particles. In addition, as for this primary particle, the average value of the value which measured 100 long sides by SEM is obtained with 100 nm or less. In the slurry in which the silver oxide particles obtained by washing the silver oxide particle-containing slurry are suspended in water, the polymer organic matter dissolved in the solvent is added to the amount of silver contained in the silver oxide powder. By adding in the range of 0.1 to 2.5% by mass, a sufficient amount of organic matter is coated on the silver oxide particles. Thereafter, solid-liquid separation is performed to obtain a dry powder, whereby a fine particle silver oxide powder can be obtained. As the organic substance to be coated on the silver oxide particles, an average particle diameter of 10 to 10 reduced to silver by heating at a temperature of 80 ° C. or higher and lower than 150 ° C. in the air by selecting a high molecular organic substance mainly composed of gelatin. A 200 nm silver oxide powder can be obtained.

本発明により、大気中で従来よりも低温域の加熱で銀に還元する酸化銀粉末を得ることができる。本発明で得られる酸化銀粉末は、還元剤を共存させなくても80℃以上150℃未満の温度で銀に還元することから、低温焼成可能な導電性ペーストの品質安定性を向上することができ、PETの様な低融点または耐熱温度が低い材料の基板への応用が期待出来る。
また既存の銀系ペーストへ本発明の微粒子酸化銀粉末を最適量添加した場合には、低い焼成温度で従来では得られなかった密着性や抵抗値を得ることが可能となり、工業的用途が大幅に拡大する。
さらに、本発明の酸化銀粉末は、製造時に有機溶媒等の処理に要するコストが不要で、導電性ペーストに還元剤を添加する必要がないことから、安価な銀系の導電回路を形成するための導電性ペーストおよび導電性ペースト用フィラーを供給することが可能となる。
According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a silver oxide powder that is reduced to silver by heating in the air at a lower temperature than in the past. Since the silver oxide powder obtained by the present invention reduces to silver at a temperature of 80 ° C. or higher and lower than 150 ° C. without the presence of a reducing agent, the quality stability of the conductive paste that can be fired at low temperature can be improved. In addition, application to a substrate made of a material having a low melting point or a low heat resistance temperature such as PET can be expected.
In addition, when an optimal amount of the fine grain silver oxide powder of the present invention is added to an existing silver paste, it becomes possible to obtain adhesion and resistance values that could not be obtained conventionally at a low firing temperature, greatly increasing industrial applications. Expand to.
Furthermore, the silver oxide powder of the present invention does not require the cost required for the treatment of an organic solvent or the like at the time of manufacture, and it is not necessary to add a reducing agent to the conductive paste, so that an inexpensive silver-based conductive circuit is formed. It becomes possible to supply the conductive paste and the conductive paste filler.

本発明における製造プロセスにより、安価に銀系ペースト原料を提供することができる。
すなわち、本発明に従う微粒子酸化銀粉末は、pHを制御したアルカリ溶液中に銀塩溶液とアルカリ溶液を同時に投入することによってpHの変動を抑えることにより、均一な酸化銀核発生と核成長・粒子成長を行う方法によって製造することができる。また、粒径を制御するために保護コロイドとなる高分子有機物を使用する。
前記工程までは特開2005−104825号(特許文献1)と同様であるが、本発明では更に、酸化銀粒子生成反応後の酸化銀粒子含有スラリーを洗浄し、この酸化銀粒子を水に懸濁させたスラリーに最適量の高分子有機物を添加することにより、酸化銀粒子表面に有機物被膜を形成させ、乾燥・解砕工程を経て微粒子酸化銀粉末を得る。
The silver paste material can be provided at low cost by the manufacturing process of the present invention.
That is, the fine grain silver oxide powder according to the present invention suppresses fluctuations in pH by simultaneously introducing a silver salt solution and an alkaline solution into an alkaline solution whose pH is controlled, thereby generating uniform silver oxide nuclei and nuclear growth / particles. It can be manufactured by a method of growing. Moreover, in order to control a particle size, the high molecular organic substance used as a protective colloid is used.
The steps up to this step are the same as in JP-A-2005-104825 (Patent Document 1). In the present invention, the silver oxide particle-containing slurry after the silver oxide particle generation reaction is further washed, and the silver oxide particles are suspended in water. An organic polymer film is formed on the surface of the silver oxide particles by adding an optimal amount of high molecular weight organic matter to the turbid slurry, and a fine silver oxide powder is obtained through a drying and crushing process.

微粒子酸化銀粒子表面に高分子有機物を被覆する効果として、微粒子酸化銀粉末を導電性ペーストとして用いた場合、80℃以上150℃未満の温度範囲における被覆有機物の分解に伴い酸素解離が生ずることにより、銀前駆体を形成させることが出来る。この時の発熱エネルギーにおいて、ペースト中の溶剤とバインダーの一部が分解する。   As an effect of coating the surface of fine silver oxide particles with a polymer organic matter, when fine silver oxide powder is used as a conductive paste, oxygen dissociation occurs due to decomposition of the coated organic matter in a temperature range of 80 ° C. or higher and lower than 150 ° C. A silver precursor can be formed. In the heat generation energy at this time, a part of the solvent and the binder in the paste is decomposed.

予め反応スラリー中に多量の高分子有機物を添加する場合には、高分子有機物の被覆層中に、スラリー中のナトリウムイオン等が多く残留する。この場合、高分子有機物が粘着材の様に作用し、反応後の酸化銀微粒子含有スラリー洗浄が困難となる為、有効に残留不純物を除去することが困難となる。これに対し、酸化銀粒子生成反応後に高分子有機物を含有する溶液で酸化銀粒子を処理する場合には、酸化銀粒子生成反応後の有機物被覆量が少なくて済むため、スラリー中のナトリウムイオン等の不純物が高分子有機物層中に多く含まれることはなく、酸化銀粒子生成反応後の洗浄が容易になる。これも、本発明の製法の利点となっている。   When a large amount of high molecular organic substance is added to the reaction slurry in advance, a large amount of sodium ions or the like in the slurry remain in the high molecular organic substance coating layer. In this case, the polymer organic substance acts like an adhesive material, and it becomes difficult to wash the slurry containing silver oxide fine particles after the reaction, so it is difficult to effectively remove residual impurities. On the other hand, when silver oxide particles are treated with a solution containing a polymer organic substance after the silver oxide particle generation reaction, the amount of organic matter coating after the silver oxide particle generation reaction can be small, so that sodium ions in the slurry, etc. The impurities are not contained in the polymer organic material layer in a large amount, and the cleaning after the silver oxide particle generation reaction becomes easy. This is also an advantage of the manufacturing method of the present invention.

その製造方法は、要するところ、銀塩に保護コロイドを適量添加し、アルカリを水中で反応させて酸化銀沈殿物を得る工程(酸化銀粒子生成工程)、得られた酸化銀沈殿物を水洗する工程、水洗後の酸化銀粒子含有スラリーに更に高分子有機物を添加する工程、そのスラリーを固液分離・乾燥する工程、乾燥物を解砕して酸化銀粉末を得る工程からなる。以下にさらに詳細に説明する。   The manufacturing method is, as necessary, a step of adding a suitable amount of protective colloid to a silver salt, reacting an alkali in water to obtain a silver oxide precipitate (silver oxide particle generating step), and washing the obtained silver oxide precipitate with water The step includes a step of further adding a polymer organic substance to the silver oxide particle-containing slurry after washing, a step of solid-liquid separation and drying the slurry, and a step of crushing the dried product to obtain a silver oxide powder. This will be described in more detail below.

酸化銀粒子生成工程において、銀塩としては硝酸銀などを使用することができる。アルカリとしては水酸化カリウムや水酸化ナトリウムの他、水酸化リチウムなどの塩基を使用することが出来るが、例えばアミン等の有機塩基を用いることも可能である。中和処理はアルカリ水溶液と銀塩の水溶液を同時添加し、反応液のpHを一定(例えばpH12程度)にすることにより、溶液中への銀の溶出を低く抑えることができるので、アルカリ水溶液に対して、銀塩の水溶液およびアルカリ水溶液を添加する方法がコスト的に有利となる。   In the silver oxide particle production step, silver nitrate or the like can be used as the silver salt. In addition to potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide, bases such as lithium hydroxide can be used as the alkali. For example, organic bases such as amines can also be used. In the neutralization treatment, an alkaline aqueous solution and an aqueous silver salt solution are added simultaneously, and the pH of the reaction solution is kept constant (for example, about pH 12), so that elution of silver into the solution can be kept low. On the other hand, a method of adding an aqueous solution of silver salt and an aqueous alkaline solution is advantageous in terms of cost.

アルカリ水溶液の濃度は0.5mol/L以下とし、銀塩溶液の濃度は6mol/L以下、好ましくは3mol/L以下、銀塩溶液と同時添加するアルカリ水溶液は、反応中のpH変動を少なくする為に、銀塩に対し1mol当量以上であるのがよい。銀塩溶液濃度を低くすると粒径の小さい酸化銀粉末を製造できる。銀塩溶液濃度を6mol/Lより高くすると粒径の大きい酸化銀粉末が生成する。   The concentration of the alkaline aqueous solution is 0.5 mol / L or less, the concentration of the silver salt solution is 6 mol / L or less, preferably 3 mol / L or less, and the alkaline aqueous solution added simultaneously with the silver salt solution reduces pH fluctuation during the reaction. Therefore, it is good that it is 1 mol equivalent or more with respect to the silver salt. When the silver salt solution concentration is lowered, a silver oxide powder having a small particle size can be produced. When the silver salt solution concentration is higher than 6 mol / L, a silver oxide powder having a large particle size is produced.

反応中に保護コロイドを共存させることによって、酸化銀粒子の粒成長を抑え、比表面積を高くすることができる。保護コロイドとしては、ゼラチン、アラビアゴム、デキストリン、ポリビニルアルコール、ロジン、アミノ酸、寒天など公知のものを使用することができる。保護コロイドは銀塩の水溶液中に含有銀量に対して5質量%以下、好ましくは2質量%以下含有させるのがよい。5質量%より多いと逆に結着材の働きをしてしまい凝集粒となる。   By allowing the protective colloid to coexist during the reaction, the growth of silver oxide particles can be suppressed and the specific surface area can be increased. As the protective colloid, known materials such as gelatin, gum arabic, dextrin, polyvinyl alcohol, rosin, amino acid, and agar can be used. The protective colloid is contained in an aqueous silver salt solution in an amount of 5% by mass or less, preferably 2% by mass or less based on the amount of silver contained. On the other hand, when the amount is more than 5% by mass, it acts as a binder and becomes aggregated particles.

保護コロイドの添加は、反応後に得られる粒子表面に均一な被膜が形成される様、反応前に予め銀塩水溶液中に溶解しておくことが好ましい。反応時のpHは12.0±1.5の範囲であるのが良い。更に好ましくはpH12.0±0.5の範囲が望ましい。その理由としては、溶液中への銀の溶解度がpH12.0付近で極小となるからである。その範囲外では、溶解・析出による粒成長が発生し、銀が系外に逃げてしまい酸化銀粉末の収率が悪化するという問題が出てくる。中和処理における反応温度は外気温の変化に対しての制御しやすさとコスト面から、30℃以上50℃以下が好ましい。反応温度が50℃を超えた場合は、反応槽内壁に銀膜が発生するため好ましくなく、一方、30℃未満の場合には酸化銀の一次粒子が肥大化するため好ましくない。   The addition of the protective colloid is preferably preliminarily dissolved in the aqueous silver salt solution before the reaction so that a uniform film is formed on the surface of the particles obtained after the reaction. The pH during the reaction is preferably in the range of 12.0 ± 1.5. More preferably, the pH range is 12.0 ± 0.5. The reason for this is that the solubility of silver in the solution is minimized near pH 12.0. Outside this range, grain growth occurs due to dissolution / precipitation, and silver escapes out of the system, resulting in a problem that the yield of silver oxide powder deteriorates. The reaction temperature in the neutralization treatment is preferably 30 ° C. or higher and 50 ° C. or lower from the viewpoint of ease of control with respect to changes in the outside air temperature and cost. When the reaction temperature exceeds 50 ° C., a silver film is generated on the inner wall of the reaction tank, which is not preferable. On the other hand, when the reaction temperature is less than 30 ° C., primary silver oxide particles are enlarged, which is not preferable.

酸化銀粒子生成反応終了後は、得られた酸化銀沈殿物を熟成してから固液分離するのが好ましい。酸化銀沈殿物の熟成は中和反応後の酸化銀粒子含有スラリーをその温度で5〜120分間撹拌を保持する。これにより酸化銀沈殿物が均一化される。次いで撹拌を止め、この酸化銀粒子含有スラリーを静置することにより沈降させ、スラリー中の残留ナトリウムイオンを除去する目的で、電気伝導度が2mS/m以下となるまでデカンテーション洗浄を行う。   After completion of the silver oxide particle formation reaction, it is preferable to solid-liquid separate after aging the obtained silver oxide precipitate. In the ripening of the silver oxide precipitate, the silver oxide particle-containing slurry after the neutralization reaction is kept stirred at that temperature for 5 to 120 minutes. Thereby, the silver oxide precipitate is homogenized. Then, the stirring is stopped, and the silver oxide particle-containing slurry is allowed to settle, and decantation washing is performed until the electric conductivity becomes 2 mS / m or less for the purpose of removing residual sodium ions in the slurry.

その後、純水洗浄上澄み液を廃棄し、固液質量比(酸化銀:純水)1:1から1:28、更に好ましくは1:5から1:10の範囲となる酸化銀粒子含有スラリーとし、そのスラリー中に、溶媒中に最適量溶解させた高分子有機物を撹拌混合させる。その理由としては、高分子有機物は一度溶媒に溶解させている為、酸化銀粒子表面に被覆されていない余剰分が系外に排出されやすいからである。よってデカンテーション洗浄の際に出来るだけ洗浄上澄液を廃棄し、固液比を規定したスラリー中に添加することにより、排水として排出される高分子有機物量を極力少なくすることができ、スラリー中に残留させる有機物を制御し易いからである。また量産時における排水処理費用も最小限に抑えることが可能となる。   Thereafter, the supernatant of the pure water washing is discarded to form a slurry containing silver oxide particles in a solid-liquid mass ratio (silver oxide: pure water) of 1: 1 to 1:28, more preferably 1: 5 to 1:10. In the slurry, the polymer organic substance dissolved in the optimum amount in the solvent is stirred and mixed. The reason is that the polymer organic substance is once dissolved in the solvent, so that the surplus portion not coated on the surface of the silver oxide particles is easily discharged out of the system. Therefore, by discarding the washing supernatant as much as possible during decantation washing and adding it to the slurry with a defined solid-liquid ratio, the amount of polymer organic matter discharged as waste water can be reduced as much as possible. This is because it is easy to control the organic matter remaining in the substrate. In addition, wastewater treatment costs during mass production can be minimized.

酸化銀粒子含有スラリー中に添加する高分子有機物の主成分としてゼラチンを用い、その単体でも十分に目的の還元温度を得ることが出来るが、更にアラビアゴム、ポリビニルアルコール、ロジン、アミノ酸、寒天など公知の高分子材料も併せて添加することにより、酸化銀から銀への還元温度を更に低くすることが可能となる。
高分子有機物の最適添加量としては、スラリー中の理論銀量に対し、0.1質量%以上、2.5質量%以下で添加することが望ましく、更に好ましくは1.0〜1.5質量%の範囲で添加させるのがよい。0.1質量%未満であると、80℃以上150℃未満での発熱エネルギー量が少なくなり、その条件で得た微粒子酸化銀粉末を200℃まで加熱しても銀への還元が確認出来ないからである。また、2.5質量%を越えた場合、酸化銀粒子含有スラリー乾燥後の解砕工程において、解砕機の解砕エネルギーにより酸化銀から銀への還元が一挙に起こり、爆発的に有機物が燃焼する場合があるので好ましくない。
Gelatin is used as the main component of the high molecular weight organic substance added to the silver oxide particle-containing slurry, and the desired reduction temperature can be sufficiently obtained by itself, but also known as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol , rosin, amino acid, agar, etc. In addition, it is possible to further reduce the reduction temperature from silver oxide to silver.
As the optimum addition amount of the high molecular organic substance, it is desirable to add at 0.1% by mass or more and 2.5% by mass or less, more preferably 1.0 to 1.5% by mass with respect to the theoretical silver amount in the slurry. It is good to add in the range of%. When it is less than 0.1% by mass, the amount of heat generated at 80 ° C. or more and less than 150 ° C. is reduced, and reduction to silver cannot be confirmed even when the fine particle silver oxide powder obtained under the conditions is heated to 200 ° C. Because. In addition, when the content exceeds 2.5% by mass, in the crushing step after drying the silver oxide particle-containing slurry, reduction of silver oxide to silver occurs at once due to the crushing energy of the crusher, and the organic matter burns explosively. This is not preferable.

その後酸化銀粒子含有スラリーを固液分離させ、真空減圧乾燥機にて好ましくは30℃以上90℃以下、更に好ましくは40℃以上60℃以下の範囲で10時間以上乾燥させ、黒茶色の乾燥物を得る。この時の乾燥温度を90℃超とした場合は、高分子有機成分が一部熱により分解し、乾燥機内で爆発的に燃焼する場合があるので好ましくない。乾燥装置として真空減圧乾燥機を用いる理由としては、大気循環型乾燥機を用いた場合より、高温で且つ(同じ乾燥温度でも)短時間で乾燥が可能であるからである。
前記の製造工程により、BET1点法による比表面積が1〜30m2/g、(二次粒子の)平均粒径が10〜200nmの酸化銀粉末を製造することが出来る。
また、この微粒子酸化銀粉末を大気中にて80℃以上150℃未満の温度域で加熱処理を行うと、微粒子酸化銀粉末の酸素離脱による発熱と、高分子有機物被膜の燃焼とにより、茶黒色の微粒子酸化銀粉末が銀白色に変化し、銀に還元されていることが確認出来る。
なお、酸化銀粉末の大気中での熱分解温度が80℃未満の場合は、酸化銀粉末の取り扱い時やペースト製造工程において銀への還元が生じてしまうので好ましくない。
Thereafter, the silver oxide particle-containing slurry is solid-liquid separated and dried in a vacuum reduced pressure dryer preferably at 30 ° C. or higher and 90 ° C. or lower, more preferably at 40 ° C. or higher and 60 ° C. or lower for 10 hours or longer. Get. If the drying temperature at this time exceeds 90 ° C., the high molecular organic component may be partially decomposed by heat and explosively burned in the dryer, which is not preferable. The reason why a vacuum reduced pressure dryer is used as the drying device is that drying can be performed at a higher temperature and in a shorter time (even at the same drying temperature) than when an air circulation dryer is used.
According to the above production process, a silver oxide powder having a specific surface area of 1 to 30 m 2 / g by BET single point method and an average particle size (secondary particles) of 10 to 200 nm can be produced.

In addition, when the thermal decomposition temperature in air | atmosphere of silver oxide powder is less than 80 degreeC, since reduction to silver arises at the time of handling of silver oxide powder or a paste manufacturing process, it is not preferable.

An exothermic peak in a temperature range below that could not be confirmed.
Further, even in a heating test at 200 ° C. or less in the atmosphere, gray discoloration could not be confirmed, and when a qualitative analysis was performed with a CuKα ray 2θ angle using an Rigaku X-ray diffractometer, the relative intensity ratio was 100 around 33 °. When the peak was confirmed and the substance was identified by JCPDS-ICDD from the diffraction line angle, it was confirmed to be the main peak of silver oxide.
