DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing a novel composite powder.
Specifically, it is a method for producing a composite powder that has an extremely excellent ink strike-through prevention effect when used as a paper filler. Conventionally, in order to reduce the weight of paper, methods have been studied to increase the effect of preventing ink bleed through and reduce the paper thickness by using fillers with a large oil absorption amount. For example, there is a method in which an alkali silicate and an acid are reacted under specific conditions to produce hydrated silicic acid with a large oil absorption capacity, and this is added as a filler to paper. However, when the above-mentioned hydrated silicic acid is added to pulp slurry to make paper, there is a problem in that the resulting paper does not have a sufficient effect of preventing ink bleed-through compared to the oil absorption amount of the powder. In other words, when paper is made by adding hydrated silicic acids with different oil absorption amounts to the pulp slurry, a phenomenon occurs in which the effect of preventing ink bleed through the paper is less improved as the oil absorption increases. This has become a major problem in reducing the weight of The present inventors have conducted repeated research in order to solve the above problems. As a result, it was found that the above problem was caused by a change in the aggregation structure of hydrated silicic acid in the pulp slurry during paper making, resulting in a decrease in oil absorption after drying. Based on the above knowledge, as a result of further research, we found that a composite powder obtained by crushing a powder mixture of hydrated silicic acid and urea resin powder under specific conditions and reagglomerating it, was obtained after immersion in water. We have discovered that the decrease in oil absorption is extremely small, and that even when it is added to pulp slurry as a filler to make paper, it can exhibit an excellent effect in preventing ink bleed through the paper.
The invention has been completed. The present invention is a method for producing composite powder, which comprises pulverizing a mixture of hydrated silicic acid and urea resin powder so that the bulk specific gravity is 0.18 g/cc or less. In the present invention, bulk specific gravity refers to a value measured according to JIS K6220. In the present invention, the hydrated silicic acid obtained by a so-called wet method, which is a neutralization reaction between an alkali silicate and an acid, can be used without particular limitation. In particular, to obtain a composite powder having an oil absorption of 2 c.c./g or more, preferably 2.5 to 4 c.c./g, which has an excellent ink strike-through prevention effect when used as a paper filler. This is preferable. Typical methods for producing the above-mentioned hydrated silicic acid include the following methods. That is, a method is preferred in which, when a raw material such as an alkali silicate is decomposed with a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, the mineral acid is added in two parts to an aqueous aqueous silicate solution to produce hydrated silicic acid. Generally, it is preferable to add 37 to 45% of the total amount of mineral acid to be added initially as quickly as possible, for example within 10 minutes. Further, the temperature at which the mineral acid is added to the aqueous alkali silicate solution to decompose the alkali silicate is preferably higher, and generally a temperature of 85°C to 95°C is suitable. Of course, these conditions need to be determined in advance since they vary depending on the type of raw materials, reaction equipment, etc. Furthermore, in the present invention, it is extremely important to use urea resin powder as the powder to be mixed with hydrated silicic acid. In other words, the composite powder obtained by grinding the above-mentioned specific powder together with hydrated silicic acid exhibits extremely little decrease in oil absorption even when dried after being immersed in water, and when each powder is used alone, In comparison, the effect of preventing ink bleed through is significantly improved. The urea resin used in the present invention is generally a known resin obtained by condensation of urea and formaldehyde. In addition, the specific gravity of the above urea resin powder is 1.3 to 1.5.
g/cc and an average particle size of 2 to 8 μm are preferably used. In the present invention, the mixing ratio of hydrated silicic acid and urea resin powder is such that the ratio of hydrated silicic acid/urea resin powder is 4 to 47, preferably 5 to 20 by weight. This is desirable in order to maintain the amount of oil absorption and obtain a composite powder that is particularly effective in preventing ink from bleed through paper. In the present invention, pulverizing the mixture of hydrated silicic acid and urea resin powder until the bulk specific gravity becomes 0.18 g/cc or less is compatible with the effect of the combination of hydrated silicic acid and specific powder. This is necessary in order to effectively prevent a decrease in oil absorption after immersing the resulting composite powder in water. In addition, the bulk specific gravity mentioned above refers to the bulk specific gravity immediately after pulverization. Therefore, the effects of the present invention can be fully exhibited even when the bulk specific gravity of the obtained composite powder is increased to exceed 0.18 g/cc for storage or transportation, and is an embodiment of the present invention. include. When the bulk specific gravity of the composite powder obtained by pulverization is larger than the above range,
Since each powder is insufficiently pulverized, strong agglomeration is not formed between each powder, and the desired composite powder cannot be obtained. The method of pulverizing the above-mentioned powder mixture until it has a bulk specific gravity of 0.18 g/cc or less is not particularly limited. To give an example of a typical method, a method of pulverizing using liquid energy such that the liquid pressure at the inlet nozzle (hereinafter referred to as pulverization pressure) is 5 Kg/cm 2 or more, preferably 6 to 20 Kg/cm 2 can be mentioned. Any known fluid energy mill may be used without particular limitation as the fluid energy mill. Generally, Jet-O-Mizer (trade name), Jet Mill (trade name), etc. are suitable. As can be understood from the above explanation, the composite powder obtained by the method of the present invention has the property of exhibiting extremely little decrease in oil absorption after being immersed in water and dried. Therefore, even when paper is made by adding it as a filler to pulp slurry, it exhibits excellent oil absorption in the paper and exhibits an excellent effect in preventing ink bleed through. Although the mechanism by which the composite powder obtained by the present invention exhibits the above-mentioned performance is not clear, the present inventors have discovered that powders with different surface charge states are pulverized to below a specific particle size. It is presumed that this is due to the formation of a unique agglomerated structure that differs from the mere mixing of powders. Examples are shown below to specifically explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. In the Examples, the oil absorption of the powder, the oil absorption after immersing the powder in water, the degree of ink bleed through after printing, and the average particle diameter were measured by the following methods. () Oil absorption was conducted in accordance with JIS K-5101. () Oil absorption amount after immersion in water After immersing the sample powder in water, it was filtered and left to dry at 80°C. Then, on a 100 mesh sieve,
After loosening the dried cake, the oil absorption was measured by the method in (). () Degree of print ink bleed-through Layer 10 sample papers and measure the reflectance (R) of the surface.
∞) was measured. On the other hand, a black sheet was applied from the back to one of the sample papers to measure the reflectance (Ro) of the surface. Further, black ink for an offset rotary press was applied to the entire surface of one side of the sample paper, and after drying, the reflectance (Ri) of the opposite side (white paper side) was measured. From these measurements, the opacity r 1 before printing can be determined by the following formula:
and the opacity r2 after printing was determined. Opacity before printing r 1 (%) = Ro / R∞ × 100 Opacity after printing r 2 (%) = Ri / R∞ × 100 Next, using the above r 1 and r 2 , check for print ink bleed-through The degree was calculated using the following formula. Printing ink strike-through degree (%)=r 1 −r 2 /r 1 ×100 It can be said that the lower the strike-through degree is, the better the printing ink strike-through prevention property is. () Average particle size The particle size distribution was measured using Coulter Counter TA- (trade name: Nikkaki Co., Ltd.), and the particle size at 50% was shown. Example Hydrated silicic acid having the properties shown in Table 1 and average particle size
After mixing with urea resin powder of 5 μm and oil absorption of 2.9 cc/g in the proportions shown in Table 1, the mixture was crushed with a Jet-O-Mizer (trade name) at the crushing pressure shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows the average particle size, oil absorption amount, and oil absorption amount after immersion in water of the obtained composite powder. Also,
The obtained composite powder was used as a filler and mixed in the following proportions to prepare a pulp slurry with a pulp concentration of 1%, and paper was made according to JIS-P-8209. Regarding the obtained paper, the ink strike-through rate after printing was measured. The results are also shown in Table 1.
