The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing ceramic microspheres.

した(特開昭62−262734)。[Prior Art] As a method for producing this type of ceramic microspheres, the applicant has developed a method for producing a suspension of fine ceramic powder dispersed in water, which has approximately the same specific gravity as this suspension and which is not mixed with water. A patent application has been filed for a method for obtaining ceramic microspheres by dispersing them in the form of small droplets in a high-boiling liquid that does not react with the ceramic fine powder (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-263628), and the ceramic fine powder was further dispersed in an alcohol solution. A patent application was filed for a method for obtaining ceramic microspheres by dispersing a suspension or sol in liquid paraffin in the form of small droplets and then evaporating the alcohol (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-262734).

い。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional manufacturing method described above is an excellent method for obtaining truly spherical ceramic microspheres having a uniform particle size. Since the ceramic microspheres are dispersed in the form of small droplets in a liquid, the average particle size of the resulting ceramic microspheres depends on the orifice diameter, and only relatively large particles ranging from several μm to several tens of μm can be produced.

体を用いなければならない不具合があった。Furthermore, in the conventional manufacturing method described above, it is necessary that the particle size of the ceramic fine powder used to prepare the suspension is always much smaller than the particle size of the target ceramic microspheres. Therefore, there was a problem in that fine ceramic powder produced by a special manufacturing method such as an alkoxide hydrolysis method had to be used.

It's about doing.

酸化物のマイクロ球を得る方法である。[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the method for manufacturing ceramic microspheres of the present invention includes mixing an aqueous solution in which a water-soluble metal compound is dissolved with an oil that is insoluble in this aqueous solution and has a higher boiling point than water. Then, ultrasonic vibration is applied to this mixed liquid to generate a water-in-oil emulsion, and this emulsion is heated at a temperature below the boiling point of water to devour the water in the droplets in which the water-soluble metal compound is dissolved. After dispersing a spherical water-soluble metal compound in an oil phase, the dispersion is heated in a temperature range above the temperature at which the water-soluble metal compound decomposes to form a metal oxide and below the temperature at which grain growth of the metal oxide starts. In this method, the oil is removed by evaporation or decomposition by heating to obtain metal oxide microspheres.
本発明の出発原料は目的とするセラミックスを構成する
水溶性金属化合物である。この水溶性金属化合物を所定
の組成比で20〜50℃の水に溶解して水溶液を調製す
る。The starting material of the present invention is a water-soluble metal compound constituting the desired ceramic. An aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving this water-soluble metal compound in water at a temperature of 20 to 50°C at a predetermined composition ratio.

ものであれば、特に限定されず、毒性及び価格の点から
パラフィン油が望ましい。Oil is mixed with this aqueous solution to produce a water-in-oil emulsion. The oil is not particularly limited as long as it is insoluble in the aqueous solution and has a boiling point higher than water, and paraffin oil is preferred from the viewpoint of toxicity and cost.
またエマルジョンを生成する際にはエマルジョンを長時
間安定に存在させるために乳化剤を使用した方がよい。Furthermore, when producing an emulsion, it is better to use an emulsifier in order to keep the emulsion stable for a long time.

望の値に設定することができる。One of the characteristics of the present invention is that the emulsion is generated by ultrasonic vibration. When the emulsion is generated using a means other than ultrasonic vibration, such as a stirring homogenizer or a pressure homogenizer, the diameter of the droplets is partially on the order of submicrons, but on average it is on the order of submicrons. Moreover, since the distribution width of the droplet size is wide, the average particle size of the ceramic microspheres finally obtained is large and irregular. Therefore, methods other than ultrasonic vibration are not suitable for the present invention. The frequency of this ultrasonic wave is 10kHz to 100kHz
A range of z is preferred. Ultrasonic waves generally have a frequency above the audible range, that is, a sound wave of 20 kHz or more, but in the present invention, even at a frequency of 10 kHz, the average diameter of droplets can be made to the order of submicrons. In the above, the term ultrasonic wave is also used for sound waves of less than 20 kHz. If the frequency is increased to make the ultrasound stronger, the average particle size of the ceramic microspheres, which is the final product of the present invention, will become finer. Conversely, if the frequency is lowered to make the ultrasound weaker, the average particle size will become larger. . From this, by appropriately selecting the frequency of the ultrasonic waves, the average particle size can be set to a desired value.

0℃未満、望ましくは70〜95℃がよい。When heating the generated emulsion to evaporate the water in the droplets in which the water-soluble metal compound is dissolved, the higher the heating temperature, the faster the water in the droplets can be removed, but if the temperature exceeds 100°C, the water will boil. occurs and the emulsion breaks, so 10
The temperature is preferably less than 0°C, preferably 70 to 95°C.
更に油を蒸発又は分解するとともに水溶性金属化合物を

開始温度未満の温度であることが必要である。Furthermore, the heating temperature when evaporating or decomposing the oil and thermally decomposing the water-soluble metal compound is at least the temperature at which the water-soluble metal compound decomposes into a metal oxide and lower than the temperature at which grain growth of this metal oxide starts. It is necessary that there be.

ることができる。[Function] When oil is mixed with an aqueous solution in which a water-soluble metal compound is dissolved, an emulsifier is added if necessary, and ultrasonic vibration is applied, a strong cavitation effect due to ultrasonic waves is uniformly applied to the entire mixed solution, and the aqueous solution is It is finely divided into droplets on the order of submicrons and dispersed in the oil phase. By appropriately selecting the frequency of the ultrasonic waves, a desired average particle size of the microspheres can be determined.

が得られる。[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the manufacturing method of the present invention involves generating an emulsion in which submicron-order water-soluble metal compound droplets are dispersed in an oil phase by ultrasonic vibration, and then heating this emulsion. Since ceramic microspheres are manufactured by sequentially removing water and oil, powder particles that are close to perfect spheres can be obtained without using fine ceramic powder as a starting material as in the past.

得られた粒子は互いに本質的に点接触するだけで凝集せ

分布幅の狭いセラミックマイクロ球となる。In particular, emulsification is carried out by ultrasonic vibration, and the evaporation and decomposition temperature of the oil is below the grain growth starting temperature of the metal oxide.
The obtained particles essentially only make point contact with each other and do not aggregate, resulting in ceramic microspheres having an average particle size on the order of submicrons and a narrow particle size distribution.
更に超音波の周波数を適宜選定すれば、マイクロ球の平
均粒径を所望の値にすることができる。Furthermore, by appropriately selecting the frequency of the ultrasonic waves, the average particle diameter of the microspheres can be set to a desired value.

The oil is removed by evaporation or decomposition by heating in a temperature range that is above the temperature at which the water-soluble metal compound decomposes to become a metal oxide and below the temperature at which grain growth of this metal oxide begins, to obtain metal oxide microspheres. Method for manufacturing ceramic microspheres. 2) The method for producing ceramic microspheres according to claim 1, wherein microspheres having a desired average particle size are obtained by selecting the frequency of the ultrasonic waves from a range of 10 kHz to 100 kHz. 3) Claim 1, wherein a water-in-oil emulsion is produced by adding an emulsifier together with oil to an aqueous solution in which a water-soluble metal compound is dissolved.
The method for manufacturing the ceramic microspheres described.
