DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion stabilizer for fine coal powder. More specifically, the present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion stabilizer that has good dispersibility, does not form a hard cake even when stored for a long time, and has good redispersibility. Generally, a dispersion of coal powder in water will settle because the specific gravity of the coal powder is greater than that of water, but when a surfactant called a dispersant is added, the fine coal powder becomes a stable dispersed system in water. . However, this dispersion system is also inherently thermodynamically unstable, so if left for a long time, the fine coal particles will settle. In general, the better the dispersibility, the more closely packed the sedimented particles are, resulting in a hard cake that is hard to redisperse. Therefore, if the dispersion system is used immediately after making it, the dispersant has a very good effect, but if it is stored for a long time, a hard cake is formed and the redispersibility is poor. A problem arises. Conventional dispersants have a strong effect of loosening the secondary particles of fine coal powder into primary particles and preventing the loosened particles from agglomerating again. The results were not completely satisfactory and improvements were desired. The present inventors conducted extensive research to find a dispersion stabilizer that has a dispersion effect on fine coal powder and prevents the precipitation from forming a hard cake, and as a result, they discovered a dispersion stabilizer that has both of the above-mentioned effects. Completed the invention. That is, the present invention is based on the following general formula (1) A [(C 3 H 6 O) y (C 2 H 4 O) z H] x (1) (in formula (1), x is an integer of 2 or more (y and z are integers of 1 or more, and A is a residue obtained by removing active hydrogen from an x-valent active hydrogen compound.), and the weight ratio of polyoxypropylene chains to polyoxyethylene chains The present invention provides an aqueous dispersion stabilizer for fine coal powder, characterized by comprising a compound having a molecular weight of 50/50 to 5/95 and a molecular weight of 3,000 to 100,000. By using the aqueous dispersion stabilizer of the present invention,
It has become possible to obtain a dispersion system of fine coal powder that does not form a hard cake even after long-term storage. The dispersion stabilizer of the present invention can be easily produced by adding propylene oxide and ethylene oxide to a compound having active hydrogen by a conventional method. That is, propylene oxide is added to the starting material, a compound having active hydrogen, in the presence of a catalytic amount of alkali or acid at a temperature of 80 to 200°C and a pressure of 1 to 5 atm, and then ethylene oxide is added under the same conditions. By doing this, the desired object can be obtained. By adjusting the number of moles of the active hydrogen compound and the number of moles of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide as starting materials, it is possible to easily obtain a compound having a desired structural formula. Active hydrogen compounds that can be used in the present invention include hydroxy compounds, amino compounds, and mercapto compounds having hydroxyl groups, amino groups, mercapto groups, etc. Particularly preferably, active hydrogen
Amino compounds and hydroxy compounds having more than
Mention may be made of trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, seurose, hydroxyethylcellulose. The ratio of polyoxypropylene chains (PO) and polyoxyethylene chains (EO) in formula (1) is expressed as a weight ratio.
PO/EO=50/50~5/95, preferably 40/60~
It's 10/90. If this ratio is greater than 50/50, the solubility in water will decrease and the performance will be poor;
Since the performance decreases even if it becomes smaller than 95,
The effect of introducing oxypropylene chains is considered to be important. The molecular weight of the compound of the present invention represented by formula (1) is
3000-100000, preferably 7500-50000.
When the molecular weight is less than 3000, the dispersion effect of coal powder is excellent, but the effect of preventing hard cake formation is lost. On the other hand, if the molecular weight is greater than 100,000, the agglomeration effect on coal powder becomes significant and the desired effect of the present invention cannot be obtained. When using the dispersion stabilizer of the present invention, the dispersant may be used in a proportion of 0.01 to 7.5% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 7.5% by weight based on the total system (coal powder + water).
It is desirable to add it in a proportion of 2.5% by weight. If the amount added is small, the effect will be small, and if it is added too much, the effect will be constant, which is economically disadvantageous. The coal used in the present invention may be of various types such as anthracite, bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, lignite, etc., and is pulverized. The particle size of this coal powder may be any particle size that allows direct combustion in the boiler, but the typical particle size currently used in thermal power plants for this purpose is 200 mesh with a pass rate of 70 to 70.
90% particle size. The mixing order of coal powder, dispersion stabilizer, and water is as follows:
Any method may be used, but it may be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the dispersion stabilizer in water, adding coal thereto, and using a suitable mixing device or crushing device. Further, the dispersion stabilizer of the present invention is effective for coal powder of any particle size, but is particularly effective for powder with a particle size of 0.1 to 100 microns. The concentration of coal powder in the dispersion may be any concentration at which the dispersion is produced, and generally ranges from 0.5 to 70% by weight. When using the dispersion stabilizer of the present invention, any dispersion equipment such as an attritor, sand mill, three-roll mill, or ball mill may be used, and coal powder or/and secondary particles of coal powder may be mixed with these equipment. The dispersion stabilizer of the present invention may be added before the pulverization step, or may be added after the pulverization step. The dispersion stabilizer of the present invention may be used alone, and other aqueous dispersants such as anionic and nonionic surfactants such as homopolymers of sodium acrylate, copolymers of olefin-sodium maleate, condensed phosphates, It exhibits better effects when used in combination with polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, etc. The present invention will be specifically illustrated by examples below.
The invention is not limited to these examples. Example 1 The following tests were conducted using Chinese coal*) as the coal and various dispersion stabilizers, and the results shown in Table 1 were obtained. Add 25 g of coal powder to 20 ml of an aqueous solution containing a predetermined amount of various dispersion stabilizers, stir lightly with a spatula, and then add an appropriate amount of the dispersion stabilizer aqueous solution to give a coal content of 10
% dispersion by weight is obtained. After grinding this dispersion liquid for 5 hours with a sand mill (manufactured by Igarashi Seisakusho), it was placed in a 50 ml graduated emulsification test tube and left in a constant temperature room at 25°C.
The dispersion state after 24 hours, the hardness of the precipitate after 20 days and 90 days, and the ease of redispersibility are evaluated. Incidentally, the amount of the dispersant was 1% by weight based on the total system. *Chinese coal passed through a 200 mesh sieve Analysis calorific value 7450Kcal/Kg (JIS M 8814) Ash 8.9% (JIS M 8812) Moisture 7.0% (JIS M 8811) Fixed carbon 60.0% (JIS M 8812) Dispersed system The dispersion state and dispersion stability were evaluated as follows. The results are shown in Table 1. Since a hard cake had not yet been formed in the dispersion system after 24 hours, evaluation was made based on whether the solid fine particles were dispersed without settling in an emulsification test tube. ○: No sedimentation. △: Slight sedimentation. ×: About 50% sedimentation. XX: Completely settled. Dispersion stability was evaluated after standing for 20 and 90 days by evaluating the hardness of the precipitate at the bottom of the emulsification test tube and the ease of redispersibility. ○: Disperses when water is stirred. △: Soft and easily crumbles with a spatula. ×: Hard. XX: Very hard. 【table】
