Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a red color-emitting fluorescent material having good particle size distribution and high luminance, at a low cost, by adding oxalic acid to an acidic liquid mixture of Y, Ln and Eu, adding an alkali salt and boric acid to the resultant slurry and drying and calcining the mixture. CONSTITUTION:An acidic mixed aqueous solution of Y, Ln and Eu is mixed with an aqueous solution of oxalic acid to produce a slurry containing a precipitate. The slurry is added with a carbonate of an alkaline earth metal such as Ca, Ba, etc., and boric acid and thoroughly mixed. The mixture is dried and calcined at 1,250 deg.C for 2hr e.g. in an alumina crucible to obtain the objective fluorescent material.

Next, as a second conventional example, yttrium oxide, lanthanum oxide, and europium oxide were dissolved in hydrochloric acid, the solution was heated and evaporated to dryness, and then an ammonium oxalate aqueous solution was added to the generated chloride. to be generated. The product is first fired in the air at 800°C to 1000°C to form an oxide, then barium borate powder is mixed with this oxide and secondarily fired again at 1250°C to 1300°C. As a result, a yttrium lanthanum oxide phosphor activated with europium was obtained.

However, with the above manufacturing method, the phosphor contains a large amount of sodium, so when used in a fluorescent lamp, the reaction with mercury is significant and the luminous flux maintenance rate is extremely low, making it impractical. Furthermore, since the average particle size of the phosphor was small, 1 to 3 μm, the luminance of the light was insufficient.

In addition, in the method of calcining the complex salt, mixing barium borate with the oxide obtained by decomposition, and calcining it again, barium borate is not mixed as a solution, but mixed physically or mechanically. Therefore, it is difficult to mix uniformly, and furthermore, the properties of the secondary fired solid are hard and require mechanical pulverization, and this pulverization generates fine particles and the particle size distribution becomes sharp. There were drawbacks such as lack of improvement in luminance despite the large average particle size.

Therefore, the present invention was made to eliminate such drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a phosphor that has a low sodium content, a good particle size distribution, and high luminance.
