微粉末の製造方法を提供するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing fine zirconia powder, in which the powder has a large specific surface area, an extremely small particle size, and is independent grains without requiring any pulverization operation. The present invention provides a method for producing easily sinterable high-purity zirconia fine powder in which a stabilizer is uniformly dispersed.
ジルコニア粉末は焼結製品の原料として使用されている
ものであるが、機械構造用等高強じん性が要求される分
野に応用されるためには、(1)高純度品であること、
(2)独立均−粒からなる微粉状物であること、(3)
安定化剤が均一・均質に分散していること等が望まれて
いる。Zirconia powder is used as a raw material for sintered products, but in order to be applied to fields that require high toughness, such as for mechanical structures, it must (1) be a high-purity product;
(2) It is a fine powder consisting of independent homogeneous grains, (3)
It is desired that the stabilizer be uniformly and homogeneously dispersed.
しかし、従来のジルコニア粉末の製造法(溶融法、中和
法等)では、粉末状物とするために機械的粉砕手段をと
るため、純度が低く、粉砕してもなお粒子径が大きくし
たがって焼結性に劣り、また安定化剤が均質に分散して
いないという欠点があった。However, conventional methods for producing zirconia powder (melting method, neutralization method, etc.) require mechanical pulverization to produce a powder, resulting in low purity and large particle sizes even after pulverization, resulting in sintering. It had the disadvantage that it had poor condensation properties and that the stabilizer was not homogeneously dispersed.
本発明者らはかかる従来の不利欠点を解決すべく鋭意研
究した結果本発明を完成した。The present inventors completed the present invention as a result of intensive research aimed at solving these conventional disadvantages.

るものである。以下詳細に説明する。That is, in the present invention, an aqueous solution containing a zirconium salt and a stabilizer and an aqueous ammonium carbonate solution are mixed with stirring in the presence of a surfactant and a water-insoluble organic solvent, and the reaction is carried out while maintaining the reaction system in an emulsified state. The present invention relates to a method for producing fine zirconia powder, which comprises washing the produced carbonate with a water-soluble organic solvent and then thermally decomposing it. This will be explained in detail below.

とすればよい。Water-soluble materials such as gnesicium, cerium, and metals having a valence of 3 or more (yttrium, diisprosium, erbium, ytterbium, etc.) are used. By preparing a mixed aqueous solution of the zirconium salt and the stabilizer, the stabilizer can be mixed uniformly. There are no particular restrictions on the concentration of this mixed aqueous solution, but it is usually 20 to 60% by weight of the zirconium salt and 0.5 to 6% by weight of the stabilizer.
And it is sufficient.
一方炭酸アンモニウム水溶液を調製するが、このものの
濃度はおおむね5〜30重量%の範囲とすればよい。On the other hand, an ammonium carbonate aqueous solution is prepared, and the concentration of this solution may be approximately in the range of 5 to 30% by weight.

反応系を乳化状態に維持しながら炭酸塩を生成させる。By mixing the aqueous solution containing the zirconium salt and stabilizer with the ammonium carbonate aqueous solution, zirconium and the stabilizer carbonate are produced.In the present invention, this reaction is carried out using a surfactant and a water-insoluble organic solvent. is required to be carried out in the presence of i.e. 1
Carbonate is generated while maintaining the reaction system in an emulsified state.

いう方法がとられる。この際反応混合液はオーバフロー
C二より取出す。It is recommended that the surfactant and water-insoluble organic solvent be added to the reactor together with water at the start of the reaction, but if the reaction is to be carried out continuously, an aqueous solution containing the zirconium salt and stabilizer should be added to the reactor. A method is adopted in which, simultaneously with the continuous charging of the ammonium carbonate aqueous solution, a water-insoluble organic solvent solution in which a predetermined amount of a surfactant is dissolved is introduced into the reactor from a separate line. At this time, the reaction mixture is taken out from overflow C2.
上記のようにして反応系を乳化状態に維持するに

シレンなどが使用される。By maintaining the reaction system in an emulsified state as described above, it is possible to obtain finely powdered zirconia in which the stabilizer having a larger specific surface area is uniformly dispersed. Among nonionic surfactants, those having an HLB value of 4 to 20 are particularly suitable as surfactants used for this purpose. Benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. are used as water-insoluble organic solvents.

と微細な粉末状のジルコニアを得ることができない。It is preferable to stir the reaction system strongly using a homomixer, homogenizer, etc. If the stirring is weak, fine powdered zirconia cannot be obtained.
つぎに、生成した炭酸塩は水可溶性有機溶媒で洗浄する

ことができない。Next, the generated carbonate is washed with a water-soluble organic solvent. That is, by this washing, the water adhering to or penetrating the carbonate is replaced with the organic solvent, and then drying is performed. If dried while still containing moisture, carbonate particles will aggregate, making it impossible to obtain easily sinterable fine powder zirconia consisting of independent grains.
