Attempts have been made to make the particles finer for the purpose of improving the ultraviolet shielding effect and improving the transparency.

However, finely divided zinc oxide easily aggregates, and it is difficult to mix and disperse it. In addition, the larger specific surface area increases the activity and tends to decompose the organic components blended together. Therefore, in order to improve the dispersibility, JP-A-63-119418 proposes a pigment in which zinc oxide fine particles are fixed on the surface of a carrier with a fixing agent. Further, in order to suppress the decomposition activity, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 183620/1993, the surface is
Zinc oxide coated with oxides such as l and Si has been proposed.

It is more preferable that the average particle diameter of zinc oxide is 0.03 to 0.3 μm.

The content of zinc oxide in the alkali silicate aqueous solution is preferably 10 to 60% by weight based on the total amount of SiO 2 and zinc oxide in the alkali silicate aqueous solution. When the content of zinc oxide is less than 10% by weight, the effect of shielding ultraviolet rays is insufficient, which is not preferable. When the content of zinc oxide exceeds 60% by weight, it is difficult to obtain spherical silica, and the transmittance of visible light is lowered, which makes it unsuitable for applications such as cosmetics. .

The surfactant is dissolved in an organic solvent, and an alkaline silicate aqueous solution in which zinc oxide is dispersed is added to this to emulsify. It is preferable to add the aqueous solution in a volume ratio of 0.1 to 1 with respect to the organic solvent so that a W / O type emulsion is formed.

Next, carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the emulsion to gelate the aqueous solution of alkali silicate.

At the time of gelation, the gelation start time is 4
It is preferable to introduce carbon dioxide under the condition of not less than minutes. When carbon dioxide gas was introduced into this emulsion, the viscosity of the emulsion suddenly and sharply increased at a certain point, which can be sufficiently observed with the naked eye, so that point was taken as the gelation start time. When the gelation start time is shorter than 4 minutes, the dispersion state of zinc oxide in the produced silica gel particles is not appropriate and the ultraviolet ray shielding effect is poor, which is not preferable. The gelation start time can be adjusted by changing the flow rate of carbon dioxide, the partial pressure, and the like. It is more preferable that the gelation start time is 5 minutes or more.

After completion of gelation, the organic solvent is removed, and heat treatment or chemical treatment is appropriately carried out to obtain an aqueous slurry of zinc oxide-containing spherical silica (hereinafter referred to as slurry immediately after synthesis).

When used as an additive for cosmetic raw materials, paints, and resins, the pH of zinc oxide-containing spherical silica when dispersed in water (in this specification, the pH of a 10 wt% slurry obtained by dispersing it in water is In the following, it is desirable that the pH of silica is referred to as "pH of silica"), which is substantially neutral from 7 to 9. In the case of normal silica, the pH of silica can be adjusted to about 7 by adding an acid to the silica slurry to adjust the pH to 6 or lower, and then filtering and washing. However, in the case of silica containing zinc oxide, the pH is 6 or lower. In this case, not only the zinc oxide is dissolved and the content is reduced, but also the waste liquid is expensive to treat. However, it is preferable to employ the following cleaning method because the pH of silica can be adjusted to 7 to 8 with almost no change in the content of zinc oxide.

The first method is a method in which a silica slurry immediately after synthesis is filtered and washed with water in which carbon dioxide gas is dissolved under atmospheric pressure or pressure until the required purity is reached. The carbon dioxide gas is preferably saturated, but may be unsaturated. The pH of water in which carbon dioxide gas is dissolved is preferably in the range of 3.3 (when saturated) to 4. For example, it is inappropriate to use dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, or dilute nitric acid having the same pH because silica having a desired pH cannot be obtained.

When the alkali silicate is gelled by carbon dioxide gas, the mechanism is unclear, but it is considered that the gelation of silica proceeds under conditions suitable for the dispersed state of zinc oxide. It is considered that carbon dioxide gas, once dissolved in an organic solvent, reacts with the alkali silicate.

(Evaluation of UV-shielding property) 3 g of the zinc oxide-supporting spherical silica of Example 1 and Examples 3 to 5 and 7 g of liquid paraffin were mixed and dispersed using a three-roll mill.
After sandwiching this with a quartz plate and adjusting the thickness to 30 μm, the transmittance was measured with a self-recording spectrophotometer U-4000 manufactured by Hitachi Ltd. Table 1 shows the transmittance at each wavelength. 400 nm is a visible light region and 320 nm is an ultraviolet light region. The smaller the transmittance is, the better the ultraviolet shielding property is. All of the zinc oxide-containing spherical silicas showed higher absorption in the ultraviolet region than in the visible light region. Compared with Examples 4 and 5, Examples 1 and 3 had particularly good characteristics.
