2. Description of the Related Art Precipitated silicic acid powder is commonly called white carbon and is a powder with high whiteness having surface activity. It is used as a rubber reinforcing filler, agricultural chemical dispersant, paint, resin, information paper, ink, It is used in various fields such as toothpaste.
Generally, it is a soft agglomerate and belongs to the lightest class of powder, and it is very easy to scatter, and the deterioration of the working environment due to dust during handling is a problem. In addition, there are problems that the bulk specific gravity of the powder is low, the packaging, storage and transportation costs are uneconomical, or the fluidity is poor and the powder remains on the bottom wall of the silo. There is a strong demand for granular products in order to eliminate such difficulties.

By the way, when the precipitated silicic acid powder is used as an elastomer filler, it should be a fine powder having good dispersibility in the elastomer from the viewpoint of reinforcing effect if its performance is considered first. Is desirable. However, various granulation methods have been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks even if the reinforcing performance is somewhat sacrificed. However, when granulated by various granulation methods, when kneaded with rubber, etc. with an open roll, Banbury mixer, etc., the dispersibility of the precipitated silicic acid powder is impaired, the properties of the rubber are determined, abrasion resistance, and tensile strength. Performances such as strength, elongation and impact resilience are significantly reduced. For example, a granular product obtained by a method of spray-drying a high-concentration precipitated silicic acid slurry disclosed in JP-B-56-41566 and JP-A-2-302312 has a small particle size and a low bulk specific gravity, Improvements in workability and storage and transportation costs, which are the original purpose of granules, were insufficient.

Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 54-110200, a filter cake obtained by filtering and washing a precipitated silicic acid slurry with a filter press is mixed with powdered precipitated silicic acid if necessary to obtain a solid content of 28. A method for obtaining granular silicic acid by adjusting the content to be 40% by weight, compression molding with a granulator, and drying is described. However, the water content of the filter cake of precipitated silicic acid is generally about 80%, and it is difficult for the cake alone to be formed into a paste or a slurry into granules. Therefore, in practice, it is necessary to mix powdery precipitated silicic acid to adjust the solid content within a predetermined range.

The inventors of the present invention tried a method of mixing dry powder into a filter cake of precipitated silicic acid to reduce the water content, thereby facilitating molding into a granular form. It was difficult to mix uniformly. Further, the granular silicic acid obtained by this method has a problem that when it is added to rubber, desired physical properties cannot be stably obtained.

The granular precipitated silica of the present invention has a particle size of 50.
The proportion of particles falling within the range of 0 μm to 5 mm is 80% by weight or more. Granular precipitated silicic acid having a particle diameter of 500 μm or less has been used as an elastomer filler until now. Precipitated silicic acid having a smaller particle size is used in fields such as paints, special papers, and films that require a relatively smooth surface condition. However, the particle size is 500
When the proportion of particles having a size of μm or more is less than the above range, it is difficult to deteriorate the working environment due to the generation of dust during handling because the amount of fine powder is large. On the other hand, the present invention is a granular precipitated silicic acid having 80% or more of particles having a particle size of at least 500 μm, which improves workability as an elastomer filler for rubber, resin, etc., and also reduces storage and transportation costs. It will improve.

On the other hand, in the case of precipitated silicic acid having a large particle size of more than 5 mm, the problem arises that the dispersion is poor because the filler is filled in the elastomer for a limited time. Therefore, it is necessary that the proportion of particles falling within the range of 500 μm to 5 mm is 80% by weight or more. The granular precipitated silicic acid of the present invention preferably has a particle size of 500μ.
The proportion of particles within the range of m to 5 mm is 85% by weight.

When it is below, the dispersibility in rubber or the like is substantially equal to that of the ungranulated product. Further, the precipitated silicic acid having a particle hardness of more than 30 gf has a relatively high bulk specific gravity and little powdering during transportation,
It has poor dispersibility and causes deterioration of the physical properties of rubber, and cannot be used in the intended application field of the present invention. On the other hand, the particle hardness is 1
When it is less than 0 gf, the physical properties of rubber are hardly affected, but it is easily pulverized, and dust is often generated during handling, which causes deterioration of working environment.

The method for producing the granular precipitated silica of the present invention will be described below. The water content of wet process precipitated silica filter cakes is generally about 80%. As a result of investigations by the present inventors, it was found that by drying the filter cake so that the water content is at most 75%, it is possible to granulate the filter cake from a paste form to a slurry form. It was On the other hand, when the water content of the dried filter cake is less than 50%, the particle hardness of the granules obtained by granulation becomes too high, and the granular precipitated silicic acid having the particle hardness in the predetermined range of the present invention cannot be obtained. . When the particle hardness is too high, the dispersion in rubber or the like is poor and the original physical properties of rubber, such as abrasion resistance and tensile strength, are deteriorated.
The dryness of the filter cake is preferably 70-6.
It is in the range of 0%.

The wet method precipitated silicic acid used in the method of the present invention is obtained by first reacting an alkali silicate and a mineral acid. After the reaction, the obtained precipitated silica slurry is filtered and washed to obtain a precipitated silica filter cake. As a reaction method for obtaining a precipitated silicic acid slurry, for example, up to a reaction step of reacting sodium silicate and sulfuric acid to produce a fine hydrated silicic acid slurry, JP-B-38-17 is used.
It is carried out by the same operation as the known method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 651 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-25235, etc., but a reaction method of simultaneously dropping sodium silicate and sulfuric acid is preferable. Further, filtration and washing can be industrially carried out in large quantities by using a filter press, a belt filter or the like.

The water content is adjusted to a predetermined range by drying (semi-drying). The dryer used for this drying is not particularly limited, but, for example, an ordinary box dryer or the like can be used. The method of the present invention for drying the filter cake to a predetermined water content is a method in which dry powder is added to the precipitated silicic acid cake and kneaded, or a method in which water is added to the dry powder to adjust the resulting particulate matter to rubber. When added, stable elastomer physical properties can be obtained.

The precipitated silicic acid filter cake dried to a predetermined water content can be granulated by a conventional method. For example, pass the precipitated silicic acid filter cake whose water content is adjusted through a mixer such as a kneader, granulate using an extrusion granulator, and dry by a method that does not give much impact to the dried product such as a band dryer. Thus, the granular precipitated silica of the present invention can be obtained. In the case of an extrusion granulator, it is desirable that the plate thickness of the molding hole is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the molding hole in order to improve the shape of the molded product and suppress the generation of fine powder.

While adding 637 ml and stirring, 5,970 ml of No. 3 sodium silicate solution (same concentration as above) and about 1,200 ml of 48% sulfuric acid were simultaneously injected for 60 minutes so as to keep the pH of the reaction solution at 9-11. Added Further, 48% sulfuric acid was added to acidify the reaction solution. The pH at the end of acidification was about 3.0. The obtained precipitated silicic acid slurry was filtered by a filter press and sufficiently washed with warm water to obtain a wet filter cake. The water content of the cake at this time was 80%. An attempt was made to shape this filter cake into particles using a disk pelleter (F-5 type) manufactured by Fuji Paudal Co., Ltd. using an extrusion granulator. However, it became a paste or a slurry during molding. If it is dried as it is, it becomes a particle having a non-uniform diameter or one lump, and it is difficult to form a particle having a good shape.
