Fine particles of aluminum hydroxide are crystallized by a rapid hydrolysis reaction of a sodium aluminate solution during the Bayer process for producing alumina, and are produced by over-drying the crystals. This aluminum hydroxide is a fine-grained hexagonal plate-shaped crystal with high whiteness, making it an excellent coating pigment for papermaking, and is used in the form of a slurry. In this case, simply forming a slurry with the required moisture does not necessarily provide sufficient slurry properties when used in a high-speed coating machine. In other words, in order to minimize the amount of water evaporation in the coating slurry due to the high speed of modern coating equipment, it is necessary to create a coating slurry with as high concentration and low viscosity as possible. Good quality is required.

~2μ is required. If it is finer than this, productivity will be extremely poor and it will be difficult in practice. If the particle size is larger than this, it will not be possible to obtain the necessary properties as a papermaking pigment such as whiteness, smoothness, and ink receptivity.

A dispersant is added to the cake and mixed by stirring to form a slurry with an apparent viscosity of 300 to 2000 centipoise.The amount of dispersant added is 0.1% by weight based on the cake.
~1.0% by weight is required. As the dispersant, those commonly used in the paper industry, such as polyacrylamide, sodium polyacrylate, ammonium polyacrylate, and inorganic phosphates, are used. Next, the slurry is placed in a container together with a group of hard spheres having a diameter of 1 mm to 5 mm, and the group of hard spheres is rotated to stir the slurry. The group of rigid spheres may be any rigid body that does not react with the slurry, such as ceramics, glass, or zircon. An example of a device that accommodates groups of rigid spheres and is suitable for this purpose is a bead mill.

When the slurry is stirred by a group of hard spheres, the apparent viscosity of the slurry decreases over time, but after it has decreased to a certain value, if stirring is continued, the apparent viscosity begins to rise. Therefore, the type of hard sphere group, the degree of stirring,
It is necessary to select the time appropriately. The rheological properties of the slurry other than the apparent viscosity are also improved by the treatment described above. In other words, the slurry before treatment exhibits a high viscosity with strong dilatant properties, but the fluidity of the slurry treated by the method of the present invention is close to Newtonian flow, and is fully adaptable to high-speed coating machines. be.

Example Particle size crystallized from sodium aluminate solution is 1
A polyacrylamide-based dispersant (Aron F40 manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd.) was added to a cake with a solid content of 70% obtained by over-washing microscopic aluminum hydroxide with a purity of 0.25%.
% by weight was added and stirred to obtain a slurry with an apparent viscosity of 450 centipoise. This slurry has an internal volume of 5
Continuously feed 1.5mmφ glass spheres into a bead mill filled with 80%, and use the bead mill at a circumferential speed of 12.
The treatment was carried out under stirring speed conditions of m/s. The apparent viscosity of the slurry discharged outside the mill was measured using a Hercules viscometer at a shear rate of 1.8×10 −4 sec −1 while changing the slurry input speed, that is, the residence time of the slurry in the mill. The results are shown in FIG. In the figure, the vertical axis is the viscosity of the slurry in centipoise, and the horizontal axis is the residence time of the slurry in the mill in minutes. Initially, the apparent viscosity of the slurry decreases as the residence time increases, but after decreasing to a certain value, it increases again. That is, it can be seen that the apparent viscosity can be lowered by appropriately selecting the residence time.

Other flow properties were then measured for the slurry in this example, where the residence time in the bead mill was 210 seconds. The results are shown in curve 1 of FIG.
In the figure, the vertical axis is the shear rate expressed in rpm, and the horizontal axis is the torque expressed in dyn.cm.The measurement was performed using a Hercules viscometer.
Bob "b" shear rates ranged from 0 to 1.8 x 104 sec -1 . Curve 1 shows that the slurry treated according to the invention has a very gradual increase in torque as the shear rate increases.

Apparent viscosity was measured in the same manner. The results are shown in FIG. The vertical and horizontal axes are the first
It is similar to the figure. Although the apparent viscosity decreases during the treatment time of about 60 to 90 minutes, the extent of the decrease is extremely low, and increases as the treatment time exceeds the above-mentioned time.

The torque of the untreated slurry suddenly increases at low shear speeds, and the treated slurry of this comparative example also shows a smaller increase in torque at low shear speeds than the untreated slurry, but
The increase in torque is extremely large compared to that shown in the example.
