Abstract

PURPOSE:To stably and inexpensively produce a indium oxide-tin oxide powder small in fluctuation in average particle diameter, apparent density or the like with good control lability by performing electrolysis with indium and tin as a separate anode at the same time and roasting the obtained precipitate. CONSTITUTION:The electrolysis is executed by using indium and tin as the separate anode in an ammonium nitrate aq. solution of 0.2-5mol/l conc., 4-9.5pH and 0-50 deg.C bath temp. under the condition of 100-1800A/m<2> current density. Next the precipitate deposited at the bottom of a cell is filtered, cleaned and dried to obtain a mixed precipitate of indium hydroxide with metastannic acid. In this case, since the characteristics of the finally obtained ITO(indium oxide containing tin) is delicately controlled by the selected electrolysis condition, an ITO based display material or the like using the precipitate is made high quality and decreased in the dispersion of quality. Next, a ITO powder is obtained by roasting the precipitate at about 1000 deg.C. The ITO powder is used for forming a ITO film after molded for a sputtering target.

However, the following problems have been pointed out in the above-mentioned method for producing indium oxide powder and tin oxide powder. a) The obtained oxide powder has a large variation in various characteristics (average particle size, apparent density, etc.), which is an obstacle to “reduction of quality variation” or “high quality” of ITO display materials. ing. b) It is not always easy to control manufacturing conditions (liquid temperature, reaction rate, etc.) at a constant level, and equipment costs increase to stabilize these conditions. c) When powders with different characteristics from the conventional ones are requested, we cannot flexibly respond to this request. d) Since the manufacturing equipment is relatively large, it takes considerable effort to control the manufacturing conditions to a constant level, and it is not always easy to deal with the increase in production. e) Dissolved waste liquid (for example, ammonium nitrate) is generated each time and needs to be treated, which increases running costs.

In the production of indium or tin oxide powder, the "electrolysis method" is adopted as the first step, instead of the conventional "dissolution precipitation method", and at the same time, indium and tin are separated. Simultaneous electrolytic treatment as the anode makes it possible to produce a mixed deposit of "indium hydroxide" and "metasunic acid" in one step under stable conditions under relatively low equipment costs and running costs. By calcining this mixed deposit, ITO powder (mixed powder of indium oxide powder and tin oxide powder) having various characteristics (average particle size, apparent density, etc.) in a very wide range can be stably obtained. Moreover, it is possible to finely control these various characteristics by selecting the electrolysis conditions.

Although ammonium sulfate or other electrolytes may be used, it can be said that the ammonium nitrate aqueous solution is preferable from the viewpoint of cost and product purity.

May be. Then, by selecting the electrolysis conditions for precipitating indium hydroxide and metastannic acid, it is possible to control the average particle size, specific surface area or apparent density of the ITO powder obtained by calcining this.

FIG. 1 shows an "ITO powder manufacturing process example" according to the present invention, which incorporates this electrolysis method. Here, in order to produce the ITO powder more stably in the process illustrated in FIG. 1, preferably, "electrolysis" for obtaining "a mixed deposit of indium hydroxide and metastannic acid" to be subjected to calcination.
Was carried out in an ammonium nitrate aqueous solution having a NH 4 NO 3 concentration of 0.2 to 5 mol / L (liter), a pH of 4 to 9.5, and a bath temperature of 0 to 50 ° C., and the current density at that time was 100 to 180.
It is better to control in the range of 0 A / m 2 .

That is, if the concentration of NH 4 NO 3 in the electrolytic bath (aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate) is lower than 0.2 mol / L, the current efficiency may be lowered or the power consumption may be increased.
If it exceeds l / L, the increase in chemical consumption cannot be ignored.
When the pH of the bath is lower than 4, the precipitate becomes finer and solid-liquid separation becomes difficult. On the other hand, handling the bath above 9.5 is not preferable for safety or environmental disaster prevention, so it is customary to avoid this.

On the other hand, if it is attempted to maintain the temperature above 50 ° C., the heating cost therefor cannot be ignored, and especially NH 4 NO. In the case of 3 , environmental measures corresponding to the generation of ammonia vapor are required. Further, with respect to the current density, if the current density is less than 100 A / m 2 , the productivity becomes poor, while if it exceeds 1800 A / m 2 , the cell voltage rises significantly, which is economically disadvantageous.

By the way, according to the "method for producing ITO powder" of the present invention, the following advantages can be enjoyed, and it can be said that its industrial contribution is extremely large. 1) The obtained ITO powder has a wide range of "characteristics (average particle size, apparent density, etc.)", and these can be controlled by selecting the electrolysis conditions. 2) Since a mixed deposit of indium hydroxide and metastannic acid, which is an intermediate raw material to be subjected to calcination, is simultaneously produced by an electrolytic method, a continuous method can be adopted, and quality control is easier than in a batch method, which is a conventional method. The quality itself is stable. 3) Since various properties of the finally obtained ITO powder can be delicately controlled by selecting the electrolysis conditions, it is possible to improve the quality of the ITO-based display material using the same and reduce the quality variation. 4) Compared to the conventional method in which individually obtained oxides (indium oxide, tin oxide) are mixed together to form ITO powder, the mixed deposit obtained by the co-electrolysis method is calcined without a substantial mixing step. I
In the method of the present invention in which TO powder is used, the ITO powder obtained by mixing the oxides more uniformly is obtained. 5) Since a so-called "closed system" can be created,
A significant reduction in running cost is achieved compared to the conventional method in which a nitric acid waste liquid is generated each time neutralization is performed. 6) Since the manufacturing equipment is compact, the initial cost (construction cost) is low and it is easy to deal with increased production.
