2. Description of the Related Art An oxygen absorber containing ascorbic acid as a main component is known as a raw material of a deoxidizer used to prevent mold and oxidation of food by being enclosed in food packaging.
As the oxygen absorber used for the oxygen scavenger, in addition to those containing ascorbic acid as a main component, those containing iron powder as a main component are well known. In some cases, a detector is used, and the oxygen absorber of the iron powder base material cannot be used for such applications because it is sensitive to the metal detector, and an oxygen absorber based on ascorbic acids is used. In addition, the oxygen scavenger containing ascorbic acids as the main component generates carbon dioxide gas in almost the same amount as the absorbed oxygen, so there is no volume change in the package and the oxygen is absorbed and the amount of gas in the package decreases. It has been used for foods and the like that dislike appearance changes. Furthermore, in medical institutions and food manufacturers, pathogens, food poisoning bacteria,
We conduct anaerobic culture tests for the purpose of testing for food contaminants, but in order to culture anaerobic bacteria, remove oxygen from the culture environment in a short time and create an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide gas. It is necessary to use an oxygen absorbent containing ascorbic acid as a main component, which is used as a gas concentration regulator for anaerobic bacterium cultivation by filling in a highly air-permeable packaging material.

[0004] The oxygen absorber of the ascorbic acid-based agent absorbs oxygen by the oxidation reaction of ascorbic acid.
The reaction generates heat during the reaction, and the reaction further proceeds by the heat generation, thereby enabling oxygen absorption in a short time. However, ascorbic acids used as a main ingredient are organic compounds and therefore are combustibles, and activated carbon mixed and added with ascorbic acids is also a designated combustible in the Fire Service Law (coal and charcoal). Therefore, a large amount of oxygen absorbent or a large amount of a gas concentration regulator filled with oxygen absorbent in a breathable packaging bag absorbs oxygen. When absorbed, the heat generated by the reaction heat increases, and as a result, the combustibles in the oxygen absorbent composition may ignite spontaneously. For this reason, it is necessary to pay close attention to the handling of this type of oxygen absorbent in consideration of the danger of spontaneous ignition during storage, use, disposal, and the like.

[0005] Also, a method of suppressing heating of the oxygen absorbent is known. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-269376,
A method is disclosed in which the inorganic filler is used as a carrier to suppress the risk of spontaneous ignition.However, when the inorganic filler is used as a carrier, sufficient heat is not generated due to large heat absorption by the inorganic filler, and oxygen absorption is not performed. The progress of the reaction is delayed. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that a large amount of an oxygen absorbent is required to complete the oxygen absorption in a short time. Also,
JP-A-3-188288 discloses a method of suppressing heating by adding a heat-meltable additive to a rust preventive agent containing an unsaturated fatty acid as a main component, wherein the rust preventive agent does not generate carbon dioxide gas. In terms of the odor and the odor, they could not be used as a gas concentration regulator for anaerobic bacteria culture or an oxygen absorber used as a deoxidizer for foods and the like.

The oxygen absorbent of the present invention has the above-described configuration, thereby preventing ignition due to overheating. That is, an oxygen absorbent composed of ascorbic acids, water and activated carbon is generally used as an oxygen absorbent package by being wrapped in a gas permeable packaging material. When touching or when the ambient temperature during use becomes abnormally high, rapid heat generation may occur due to excessive oxidation reaction. Even when the oxygen absorbent reacts with oxygen and rises in temperature, even if the temperature rises to a certain degree, usually the temperature rise is once moderate around 90 to 125 ° C. because the water contained in the oxygen absorbent evaporates. become. However, if there is excessive heat generation or heating, the evaporation of water cannot catch up, and the temperature of the oxygen absorbent rises rapidly beyond the above temperature range, and there is a risk that activated carbon, which is a combustible substance, may ignite (see FIG. 1).

Is exemplified. In particular, low molecular weight polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene having a molecular weight of 10,000 or less are preferable. In addition, polyethylene or polypropylene or a mixture thereof is particularly preferably used in that the effect of odor when added to the oxygen absorbing composition is small.
If the softening point of the thermoplastic resin to be added is too low, a normal oxygen absorption reaction is inhibited. On the other hand, if the softening point of the resin is too high, the temperature of the oxygen absorbent may be in the range of 90 to 125.
Even if the temperature exceeds ℃, the resin does not soften and the excessive exothermic reaction of the oxygen absorbent cannot be suppressed.

Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 6 g of ferrous sulfate · 7 hydrate and 10 g of sodium carbonate · 10 hydrate were dissolved in 100 g of an aqueous solution of sodium L-ascorbate (concentration: 45% by weight). (Average particle size: 0.6 mm) 60 g was impregnated to obtain an oxygen absorbent A (Comparative Example 1). Low molecular weight polyethylene having an average particle size of 200 μm and an average molecular weight of 2,000 (softening point 105 ° C .: JIS K2531) 25 per 100 g of oxygen absorbent A
g was added and mixed to obtain an oxygen absorbent B (Example 1). A spontaneous ignition risk test was performed on the oxygen absorbers A and B. The test method shall be in accordance with “Test Methods and Judgment Criteria for Hazard Assessment of Unknown Substances” established by the Maritime Technical Safety Bureau of the Ministry of Transport. went. That is, one side is located at the center of the hot air circulation type
A 2.5-cm sample container (using a 100-mesh wire net) is placed, and it is tested whether the sample filled in the sample container ignites or the temperature exceeds 200 ° C. within 24 hours. According to this test, the oxygen absorbent A (Comparative Example 1) ignited in about 30 minutes, but the oxygen absorbent B (Example 1) had the same temperature in the thermostat even after 24 hours.
No ignition occurred without exceeding ℃. this is,
Even if the temperature rises, the added oxygen resin of the oxygen absorbent B (Example 1) softens before it ignites, efficiently covers the surface of the oxygen absorbent, and appropriately cuts off oxygen to generate heat. It is considered that the temperature was suppressed and the temperature did not rise to the ignition point.

1 cc of the oxygen absorbent B (Example 1) and 1 cc of the oxygen absorbent A (Comparative Example 1) were each filled in a gas-permeable small bag of Japanese paper laminated with a perforated polyethylene film to form an oxygen-absorbing package. Each was sealed in a gas barrier bag of a laminated film of polyvinylidene chloride-coated nylon / polyethylene with an air volume of 150 cc, kept at 25 ° C., and examined over time for changes in oxygen concentration and carbon dioxide concentration in the bag. The results are shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the oxygen absorbent B exhibits the same oxygen absorption performance as the oxygen absorbent A to which no thermoplastic resin is added. When the apparent densities of the respective oxygen absorbents were measured (specific gravity of lightly-fitted bulk material; JIS K6721), oxygen absorbent A was 0.53 g / cc, oxygen absorbent B was 0.52 g / cc, which was almost the same. The properties were good.
