Definitions

  • Disclosed herein are high structure carbon blacks, methods of preparation, and surface treatment thereof. Also disclosed are dispersions and inkjet ink compositions comprising such blacks.
  • Another embodiment provides a method of oxidizing a pigment, comprising adding ozone to an aqueous dispersion comprising the pigment while maintaining the aqueous dispersion at a pH of at least 8.5.
  • Another embodiment provides an ozone reactor assembly for oxidizing a pigment having a circulated pathway, comprising:
  • a reservoir for containing and agitating a dispersion comprising a pigment, the aqueous dispersion being in fluid communication with a pH probe and a first pump for delivering a base to the dispersion;
  • a second pump in fluid communication with the reservoir for withdrawing and delivering the aqueous dispersion through a first hosing to a venturi tube, wherein the aqueous dispersion passes through a constricted region of the venturi tube;
  • a source of ozone in gaseous communication with the venturi tube via an inlet at or upstream the constricted region, wherein the ozone contacts the pigment while passing through the constricted region;
  • a second hosing for carrying a mixture comprising ozone and the aqueous dispersion to the reservoir.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional schematic of a front end of a dual-stage carbon black reactor
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic of an ozone reactor assembly.
  • the carbon blacks are channel blacks, furnace blacks and lamp blacks. In one embodiment, the carbon blacks disclosed herein are furnace blacks.
  • the reactor for preparing furnace carbon blacks black is a multi-stage reactor, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,829,057 or U.S. Pub. No. 2007/0104636, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. As used herein, a “multi-stage reactor” is outfitted with two or more feedstock injection locations, with subsequent injection locations(s) being positioned downstream a first injection location.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional schematic of the front end of a carbon black reactor 2 .
  • Reactor 2 includes a combustion chamber 10 in which a combustion gas (liquid or gaseous fuel) is mixed with an oxidant (comprising, e.g., oxygen, air) and ignited by any method known in the art.
  • the ignited gas flows through a frustoconical transition zone 11 to converge the diameter to a generally tunnel-like zone 12 comprising a number of tubular sections.
  • Feedstock injection ports are positioned within front and end tubular sections 14 A and 14 B of zone 12 , where end section 14 B is positioned downstream section 14 A.
  • more than one injection inlet port is arranged circumferentially per each section 14 A and 14 B.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates two spacer tubing sections 16 A and 16 B, although one spacer tubing, or three or more spacer tubings can be used depending on the desired carbon black property.
  • fuel is ignited at combustion chamber 10 and the resulting flow is directed to tunnel-like zone 12 where the fuel contacts a first injection of feedstock injection at front tubing section 14 A.
  • Subsequent flow through spacer tubings 16 A and 16 B allows the formation of seed carbon black particles, which then contact a second charge of feedstock introduced at tubing section 14 B.
  • the gas/carbon black particle mixture is then quenched at refractory 18 .
  • the quenching is typically performed by a water spray at a quench location 20 , of which the distance from zone 12 can be varied.
  • This configuration such as the number of spacer tubings and dimensions, allows the production of high structure, highly branched carbon black particles via smaller seed or precursor carbon black particles.
  • the carbon blacks are useful as pigments in, e.g., inkjet ink compositions.
  • inkjet ink compositions In printing applications, there is a continuing need to develop pigments and ink formulations that, when deposited on a substrate such as paper, produce a printed product having high optical density (O.D.).
  • O.D. optical density
  • high O.D. is associated with larger sized particles as these have a lesser tendency to penetrate the pores of the paper.
  • larger sized particles generally trend toward poorer sedimentation performance, a disadvantageous property for long term storage of inkjet ink formulations, e.g., in cartridges.
  • OAN oil absorption number
  • STSA values e.g., within a range of BET surface area values
  • the OAN ranges from 170 to 220 m 2 /g, e.g., from 170 to 210 m 2 /g, from 180 to 220 m 2 /g, from 180 to 210 m 2 /g, from 190 to 220 m 2 /g, or from 190 to 210 m 2 /g.
  • OAN can be determined according to ASTM-D2414. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it has believed that the disclosed OAN values can be a significant factor in achieving high optical density values.
  • the STSA ranges from 160 to 220 m 2 /g, e.g., from 160 to 210 m 2 /g, and in certain applications, the STSA ranges from 170 to 220 m 2 /g, from 170 to 210 m 2 /g, from 180 to 220 m 2 /g, or from 180 to 220 m 2 /g.
  • the BET surface area ranges from 200 to 270 m 2 /g, such as a surface area ranging from 200 to 260 m 2 /g.
  • the BET surface area can be determined according to ASTM-D6556.
  • Another embodiment involves the discovery that good printing and sedimentation performance can be achieved with carbon blacks having low internal volume, as determined by a ratio of STSA/BET ranging from 0.7 to 1.
  • a ratio of STSA/BET of 1 represents the limit when the carbon black has substantially no internal porosity.
  • this range of STSA/BET ratios can be useful for applications incorporating conductive carbon blacks.
  • the ratio of STSA/BET ranges from 0.7 to 0.9, or a ratio of STSA/BET ranging from 0.7 to 0.8. In another embodiment, the ratio of STSA/BET ranges from 0.8 to 1 or from 0.9 to 1. In one embodiment, a ratio of STSA/BET ranging from 0.7 to 1 is achieved by minimizing the etching during carbon black formation. In one embodiment, the carbon black can have the STSA and/or BET values disclosed herein.
  • the carbon black has a compressed OAN (COAN) of at least 120 m 2 /g, e.g., at least 125 m 2 /g, at least 130 m 2 /g, at least 135 m 2 /g, or a COAN ranging from 120-145 m 2 /g.
  • COAN compressed OAN
  • the carbon black has a ratio of OAN/COAN ranging from 1.30 to 1.50, e.g., from 1.30 to 1.45.
  • the carbon blacks disclosed herein can be useful in applications such as inkjet commercial printing (large or wide format printing, industrial printing). In contrast to office printers, commercial printers have overall dimensions in the multi-foot or multi-meter range. Certain of these printers may employ ink cartridges having a stirrer assembly to stabilize the dispersion. In such cartridges, sedimentation rates of the solids are not as significant a factor as in office printers. Accordingly, another embodiment provides high structure carbon blacks having a high OAN and COAN values. In one embodiment, a carbon black has the following properties:
  • the carbon black has the following properties:
  • the OAN ranges from 180 to 220 m 2 /g, from 180 to 210 m 2 /g, from 190 to 220 m 2 /g, or from 190 to 210 m 2 /g.

  • the OAN/COAN ratio ranges from 1.30 to 1.50, e.g., from 1.30 to 1.45.

  • This Example describes the ozonation of carbon black Samples A-G of Example 1 by using the ozone reactor assembly of FIG. 2 outfitted with a venturi tube.
  • Example 1 A carbon black charge from Example 1 (300 g) was combined with water (6 L) and this mixture was homogenized with a rotor-stator at 8,000-10,000 rpm for 3-5 minutes. The resulting slurry was added to the reservoir of the ozone reactor assembly, in which the reservoir pH was maintained at 9.0. The recirculation pump was operated at a rate of 70-90 L/min to circulate the slurry throughout the reactor. Ozone gas (3-5 wt %) was introduced to the slurry via an inlet at the venturi tube at a gas flow rate of 6-10 L/min.
