[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to magnetic iron oxide particles for magnetic recording media and a method for producing the same. The present invention provides magnetic iron oxide particles for magnetic recording media, which can be used to manufacture recording media. [Prior Art] Generally, magnetic recording media such as magnetic tapes are manufactured by coating a plastic film with a magnetic paint prepared by dispersing magnetic particles in a binder. In this case, the dispersibility of the magnetic particles in the binder is a factor that greatly controls the performance of the magnetic recording medium, and the magnetic properties of various magnetic recording media (for example, magnetic tape), especially the squareness ratio (Br /Bm) and orientation (OR). For this reason, technical means for improving the dispersibility of magnetic particles in a binder are considered important, and various techniques have been proposed. By the way, conventionally, as magnetic particles for magnetic recording media, magnetite particles, maghemite particles, or magnetic iron oxide particles in which these particles contain or are coated with a different metal other than Fe, such as Co, have been used. It is becoming widely used. These magnetic iron oxide particles are generally produced by air oxidizing a reaction aqueous solution of a ferrous salt aqueous solution with an alkali (usually called a "wet reaction"). 300~ in gas
By reducing it to magnetite particles at 400°C, it is then heated in air at 200°C.
It is obtained by oxidizing at ~300°C to form maghemite particles, or by containing or depositing a different metal other than Fe, such as Co, on the magnetite particles or maghemite particles. The magnetic iron oxide particles obtained in this way undergo heat treatment processes such as reduction and oxidation during the manufacturing process, so sintering occurs between the particles and between particles, resulting in a mixture of agglomerated particles. As a result, dispersion into a binder is difficult when manufacturing magnetic recording media. Moreover, since these magnetic iron oxide particles are inherently hydrophilic, they are inherently difficult to disperse in binders, and dispersion requires a great deal of time and effort. It is well known to do so. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, in the art, in order to improve the dispersibility of magnetic iron oxide particles in a binder, large amounts of various surfactants have been added as dispersants. At the same time, a powerful dispersion machine is used for a long period of time to forcefully disperse the magnetic iron oxide particles. After preparing a magnetic paint by dispersing magnetic iron oxide particles in a binder using a large amount of surfactant, when used as a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic tape, the surfactant is added to the surface of the coating film. is known to leach out and adversely affect various properties. For example, this can be seen in
Publication No. 25321 states the following. ``The reason why magnetic tapes using surfactants do not have sufficient abrasion resistance even though their dispersibility is considerably improved is that excess surfactant seeps onto the surface of the coating film, which impairs its properties. In view of this current situation, various techniques have been proposed in the industry to improve the dispersibility of magnetic iron oxide particles in a binder, as mentioned above. At present, fully satisfactory results have not been obtained. [Means for Solving the Problems] In order to obtain magnetic iron oxide particle powder with excellent dispersibility in a binder, the present inventor has conducted various studies, and as a result, the particle surface of magnetic iron oxide particle powder has been improved. It was discovered that the dispersibility of the particles in the binder can be significantly improved by coating the particles with a carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or a salt thereof, and the present invention was achieved based on this finding. That is, the present invention provides a magnetic iron oxide particle powder for magnetic recording media whose particle surface is coated with a carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or a salt thereof, and a magnetic iron oxide particle and a carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group. This is a method for producing magnetic iron oxide particles for magnetic recording media, which comprises mixing and stirring the particles with a carboxylic acid compound containing a phosphonic acid group or a salt thereof, and coating the particle surface with a carboxylic acid compound containing a phosphonic acid group or its salt. [Function] First, the magnetic iron oxide particle powder for magnetic recording media according to the present invention is a magnetic iron oxide particle powder whose particle surface is coated with a carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or a salt thereof, and which has a bond with a binder. Due to its good compatibility, it has excellent dispersibility in binders, so when used as a magnetic material for magnetic recording media, magnetic recording media with excellent squareness and orientation can be obtained. . Next, various conditions for implementing the present invention will be explained. As the magnetic iron oxide particles used in the present invention, magnetic iron oxide particles conventionally used in various magnetic recording media can be used, such as Fe 3 O 4 , γ-
Fe 2 O 3 , iron oxide particles having an oxidation state intermediate between γ-Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 (berthride type iron oxide particles), or containing a different metal other than Fe such as Co or Deposited particles can be used,
The effects of the present invention are not affected by the type of magnetic iron oxide particles. Next, a carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or a salt thereof, which is a coating material, will be explained. If the coating amount of the carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or its salt is 0.1 to 5.0% by weight based on the magnetic iron oxide particles (calculated as Fe 2 O 3 ), the dispersibility of the particles in the binder will be improved. It is possible to obtain magnetic iron oxide particle powder for use in magnetic recording media, which exhibits significantly improved effects and, at the same time, exhibits magnetic properties with excellent squareness ratio and orientation. If the amount is less than 0.1% by weight, the effect of improving dispersibility by coating cannot be sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if the amount is 5.0% by weight or more, an excessive amount of the coating substance will seep into the coating film of the tape prepared by adjusting the magnetic coating material and applying it on the substrate, resulting in problems such as hardness and abrasion resistance of the magnetic coating film. It is not suitable because it has a negative effect on the physical properties of the tape. A particularly preferred coverage range is 0.3 to 3.0% by weight. In addition, examples of the carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or its salt include sulfonoacetic acid, 2-
Phosphonopropionic acid, 2-phosphonobutyric acid, 2-
Phosphono-2-methylpropionic acid and 2-phosphono-butane-tricarboxylic acid
1, 2, 4 etc. can be used. As a means for coating the particle surface of the magnetic iron oxide particles with the above carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or its salt, for example, the coating substance is added to a slurry in which the magnetic iron oxide particles are suspended in an organic solvent or water. After mixing and stirring a predetermined amount of the magnetic iron oxide particles to coat the surface of the magnetic iron oxide particles with a coating material, the magnetic iron oxide particles are separated from the liquid and the organic solvent or water is volatilized. There is a method of grinding and kneading iron particle powder together with a coating material using a device such as a three-roll mill, a ball mill, an edge runner, a rod mill, or a laikai machine. [Example] Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples. Example 1 2 -phosphono-butane-tricarboxylic acid was added to 4 kg of an aqueous suspension containing 200 g of Co-coated acicular maghemite particles (Co-coated γ-Fe 2 O 3 ) powder with a specific surface area of 40 m 2 /g. Add 1.0g of 1, 2, 4,
After mixing and stirring, filter and dry to add 0.5wt% 2-
Co-coated acicular maghemite particles whose particle surfaces were coated with phosphono-butane-tricarboxylic acid-1, 2, and 3 were obtained. Next, using the Co-adhered acicular maghemite particles whose particle surfaces were coated with the above-mentioned 2-phosphono-butane-tricarboxylic acid-1,2,4, they were mixed into a certain composition as shown below. Thereafter, the mixture was mixed and dispersed for 5 hours using a sand mill to prepare a magnetic coating material. Co-coated acicular maghemite particle powder 100 parts by weight Vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer: thermoplastic polyurethane resin (1:1) 25 parts by weight Lecithin 4 parts by weight Toluene 100 parts by weight Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) 100 parts by weight Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) 100 parts by weight The resulting magnetic paint was applied to a 20 μm polyethylene terephthalate base with a dry film thickness of 4 μm.
A magnetic tape was manufactured by coating the tape so as to give the following properties, and then running it in a magnetic field by a conventional method and drying it. The coercive force Hc of this magnetic tape is 692 Oe, the residual magnetic flux density Br is 1590 Gauss, the squareness ratio Br/Bm is 0.715,
The degree of orientation was 1.59. Examples 2 to 5, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 Types of magnetic iron oxide particles that are treated substances,
Magnetic iron oxide particles whose particle surfaces were coated with the above-mentioned coating substance were prepared in exactly the same manner as in Example 1, except that the type and coating amount of the carboxylic acid compound having a phosphonic acid group or its salt as the coating substance were varied. A magnetic tape was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. Table 1 shows the characteristics of this magnetic tape. The magnetic iron oxide particles used in Example 5 and Comparative Example 2 were acicular maghemite particles having a specific surface area of 29 m 2 /g by the BET method.
