Abstract

PURPOSE:To simply obtain the above hollow spheres having high strength while regulating the size of the spheres and the thickness of the shells by oxidizing the surface layers of specified pitch spheres in a vapor or liq. phase, making the spheres hollow, carbonizing the resulting hollow spheres and further graphitizing them as required. CONSTITUTION:Hard pitch having 100-380 deg.C softening temp. and contg. 13-90wt.% benzene-insoluble matter is dropped and dispersed in a vapor or liq. phase to obtain pitch spheres. The surface layers of the pitch spheres are oxidized in a vapor or liq. phase to such a degree that the weight is increased by 5-20wt.%. The volatile matter in the spheres is then volatilized by rapid heating to 500-700 deg.C to make the spheres hollow. The resulting hollow spheres are carbonized by firing at 900-2,000 deg.C and further graphitized as required.

Preferably, the oxidation of the surface layer of the pitch sphere in a gas phase or liquid phase results in a weight increase of 5% to 20% by weight of the pitch sphere.
Any oxidation treatment may be used as long as the oxidation treatment falls within the range of % by weight.

The raw material hard pitch used in the present invention must have a softening start temperature in a flow tester range of 100°C to 380°C. If a hard pitch with a softening start temperature of less than 100° C. is used, it will be difficult to oxidize the surface layer of the pitch sphere.
With hard pitches whose softening start temperature exceeds 380° C., dropwise dispersion treatment is difficult, and this tendency is particularly noticeable when dispersing dropwise into the air.

The benzene-insoluble content of the raw material hard pitch must be in the range of 13% to 90% by weight. Benzene insoluble content is 13%
This is because if the pitch is less than 90% by weight, it becomes difficult to oxidize the surface layer of the pitch sphere, and if the benzene insoluble content exceeds 90% by weight, dropwise dispersion cannot actually be carried out.

Pitch spheres are formed by dropping and dispersing raw material pitch as described above.

The dropwise dispersion treatment of the raw material pitch can be carried out either in the gas phase or in the liquid phase. As a method of dispersing into the gas phase, there is a method of spraying from a nozzle. In this method, a wide range of particle sizes can be obtained by changing the nozzle hole diameter and spray pressure. As a method of dropwise dispersion into the liquid phase, there is a method of dropping molten pitch into water from a porous plate.

The surface layer of the pitch sphere obtained by the above-mentioned dispersion treatment can be oxidized in either the gas phase or the liquid phase. The oxidation treatment in the gas phase is preferably carried out by placing the pitch sphere in a rotating drum in an oxidizing gas and heating it while rotating. Air is an oxidizing gas,

The oxidation treatment in the liquid phase is carried out by immersing the pitch sphere in an oxidizing liquid to oxidize the pitch component. As the oxidizing liquid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, potassium permanganate solution, etc. are used, but are not limited thereto.

In oxidation treatment using these oxidizing agents, it is necessary to determine the degree of oxidation depending on the quality of the desired carbonaceous hollow spheres, such as bulk density (shell thickness) and strength. In order to obtain high-strength carbonaceous hollow spheres, oxidation must proceed, and in order to obtain thin and lightweight shells, it is necessary to suppress the degree of oxidation to the extent that infusibility progresses as much as possible. There is.

The weight increase rate of the pitch spheres due to oxidation is preferably in the range of 5% to 20% by weight. If it is less than 5% by weight, the spheres will not become hollow in the subsequent process and will easily fuse together, and if it exceeds 20% by weight and oxidation is carried out to the inside of the pitch sphere, part of the pitch sphere will begin to burn.

Hollowing is performed by charging the material into an atmosphere at a temperature of .degree. C. to 700.degree. C. and volatilizing volatile components. Rapid heating is preferably carried out by transporting the pitch sphere into an electric furnace previously maintained at 500 to 700°C.

The treatment is performed for about 0.01 to 1 hour in an inert gas atmosphere. If the temperature is less than 500°C, hollowing will be insufficient, and if it exceeds 700°C, the volatile matter will evaporate too quickly and the pitch spheres will easily break, resulting in a decrease in the yield of hollow spheres.
