Description

 Description Spherical porous body Technical field

 The present invention relates to a spherical inorganic porous material and a method for producing the same. The spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention is useful as various carriers and molecular sieves.

 In addition, the present invention relates to a porous composite and a method for producing the same, and more specifically, to a novel porous composite obtained by immobilizing a fluorine-containing organic substance in inorganic porous particles and immobilizing the same, and a method for producing the same. The porous composite of the present invention is suitable for ion exchange, peroxidation, various kinds of chromatography, etc., or a catalyst, particularly an acid catalyst.

 Background art

 Inorganic porous materials have been conventionally used for applications such as catalyst carriers, adsorbents, and filter media. It is considered that the reason why the inorganic porous material is used in such a field is that the inorganic substance has excellent rigidity, heat resistance and chemical resistance. On the other hand, the requirements for the properties of the pores of the inorganic porous material are becoming diverse and precise depending on the application. In particular, in a chromatographic carrier, a catalyst carrier, a molecular sieve, a base for fixing a functional group, a material for porous molding, etc., uniform macropores (in the present invention, macropores have a pore diameter of 100 or more persons) An inorganic porous body having the following is considered to be advantageous, and a material having a large porosity is strongly desired. When the inorganic porous material is used for the above purpose, it is very advantageous that it is spherical. In the case of crushed or deformed particles, the particle angle is likely to collapse during handling, which not only tends to cause clogging of the generated fine powder and increases pressure loss, but also makes the packing state unstable. From such a viewpoint, a spherical inorganic large pore porous support is desired.

Conventionally, silica gel and porous glass have been known as inorganic porous materials. Silica gel is usually produced by reacting sodium silicate with sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid to obtain a silica hydrate gel, which is washed with water, dried and, if necessary, calcined. The silica gel thus obtained has the property that it is often spherical, has a wide pore size distribution, or has a small pore size (several hundred A). Furthermore, its skeleton The strength is relatively low because the silica fine particles have a particulate structure in which the fine particles are maintained while maintaining the shape. The silica composition is about 98% by weight. Examples of the method for producing silica gel include JP-A-58-1040417 and JP-A-47-51817.

 Porous glass is made by melting and molding borage acid glass with a specific composition, heat-treating it within a certain temperature range to cause phase separation, and then perform acid treatment to remove the eluted phase and wash the remaining solid phase with water. It is manufactured by drying. The porous glass obtained in this way has a structure in which the skeleton is columnar and intertwined (columnar structure). Typically, in addition to 96% of gay anhydride, boric anhydride and sodium oxide are used. Since it contains as a constituent component, not only is the chemical resistance of acids and the like limited, but also the pore volume is generally small. In addition, since porous glass is melted at a high temperature, it must be crushed in order to turn it into powder, resulting in broken frame-shaped particles. The production method of porous glass is described in, for example, US—A—2, 106, 744 (1934) and US—A—4, 657, 875 (1968) Have been.

 Ion exchange resins, chelate resins, and inorganic ion exchangers are widely used in separation processes such as adsorption chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and distribution chromatography, and in adsorption processes.

 The ion exchange resin and the chelate resin have physical strength, particle dimensional stability, etc., and the inorganic ion exchanger has the particle shape and effective absorption capacity. Height, particle packing density, deployment pressure, etc. are severely restricted and are not satisfactory.

 On the other hand, using a physical strength of an inorganic structure, non-porous ala is a complex obtained by introducing a functional group into the outer surface of a porous inorganic material by a silylation reaction. 2—4 8 5 18 However, the amount of exchange groups that can be introduced in this complex is extremely small, and it is insufficient to obtain a large amount of adsorption and separation per unit complex.

In addition, after impregnating a radical polymerizable monomer and / or a crosslinking agent together with a radial initiator in the pores of the porous inorganic carrier and performing cross-linking polymerization, a functional group-introduced polymer for ion exchange is used. A method for obtaining a complex for use is disclosed in JP-A-52-146-298. Have been. In this method for producing a composite, the polymerizable monomer enters the pores of the porous inorganic carrier by capillary action, but enters the pores so as to close the pores, so that the substance to be adsorbed moves toward the functional groups in the pores The space to be absorbed is greatly limited, and as a result, the problem of low absorption speed <occurs. As a method for overcoming this drawback, a composite in which the resin partially or completely occupies the inner surface of the pores of the inorganic porous particles, and has a space inside the resin portion that communicates with the outside of the inorganic porous particles. Is disclosed in JP-B-6-6-6246. In this complex, the adsorption and desorption rate of chemical species is limited because the adsorbed and desorbed species diffuse in a relatively small space inside the resin. On the other hand, fluorine-containing compounds form a dense structure due to the high electronegativity and small atomic radius of fluorine atoms, and exhibit high heat resistance and chemical resistance. When the compound containing fluorine has a cation exchange group such as sulfonic acid-sulfonic acid, the carboxylic acid-sulfonic acid exhibits high acidity.

 In order to make use of this property of a fluorine-containing compound to make it into a particle form, naphion (manufactured by EI duPont de Nemours and Comany), which is one of three perfluorocarbon sulfonic acid, is used. , But in particulate form (CHEMTE CH 1987,

Americ an Chemical Society, 17, 438). These particles are intended for use as acid catalysts in organic reactions. The surface area of these particles is extremely small, less than 0.02 m ² / g, and most of the sulfonic acid groups are embedded inside the particles, and do not work effectively for catalysis.

Also, a composite porous body in which a naphthion is entangled with a silica skeleton has been proposed by adding a solution of a naphthion to an alkoxysilane and hydrolyzing the solution (sol-gel method) (J. Am. Chem. Soc.). , (1996) 1 1 8,7708). In this composite porous body, naphthion is temporarily fixed to a silica skeleton, and it is said that naphthion is difficult to escape during use. However, it was confirmed that when immersed in a polar organic solvent, naphth ions escape. Also, when the alcohol by-produced in the hydrolysis in the production process and the water by-produced in the subsequent condensation reaction escape from the gel to the outside, pores having a small pore diameter of about 10 nm are formed. The force through which the reactant moves through this small hole The moving speed is small and the reaction efficiency is poor. Therefore, a method has been devised in which particles of calcium carbonate are put into a sol and gelled, and then the gel is eluted to allow pores having a large pore diameter of about 500 nm to coexist. The large pores make it difficult for the dispersed state to become uniform, and the particle strength of the silica skeleton makes the composite particles weak. In addition, the lumps made by the sol-gel method are actually crushed during actual use, so the shape of the particles is not spherical but crushed. Crushed particles tend to chip off during handling or use, which can cause column clogging and loss.

 Examples of the acid catalyst include mineral acids such as sulfuric acid and strong organic acids such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, which are currently used as acid catalysts for various organic reactions. However, these acid catalysts have drawbacks such as being corrosive, difficult to separate the product or reactant from the catalyst, and incapable of regenerating and reusing the catalyst. There is a long-felt need for a solid acid catalyst that does not have these disadvantages. For this purpose, it has been proposed to use a complex of the above nafion and silica by the sol-gel method or a complex in which phosphotungstic acid is confined inside silica by the sol-gel method. However, as described above, the complex of the nafion and silica by the sol-gel method has a problem in that the nafion component is eluted in a polar organic solvent, and the reaction speed is low due to too small pores, resulting in poor reaction efficiency. There is a problem that becomes. Also, in the composite of phosphorous tungstic acid and silica, phosphotungstic acid can be compounded only at 1 O wt% or less, so that the number of active sites as an acid catalyst is small, the shape of particles is crushed, However, it has disadvantages such as that it is small and takes a long time to diffuse, and that the acidity is lower than that of perfluorocarbonsulfonic acid.

 An object of the present invention is to provide a spherical inorganic large-pore porous body having a large average pore diameter and a high porosity, and having excellent rigidity and chemical resistance, and a method for producing the same.

In addition, even a relatively small amount of a fluorine-containing organic substance exhibits chemical resistance and heat resistance, and exhibits excellent ion exchange ability, catalytic ability, and metal ion adsorption ability by having appropriate functional groups. The practical use, mechanical strength, and resistance to the properties of the fluorinated organic substance immobilized on the inorganic carrier when the fluorinated organic substance is immobilized on the inorganic carrier. It is an object to provide a porous composite having excellent chemical properties and a method for producing the same. Furthermore, it is another object of the present invention to provide a porous composite having high reaction efficiency and high efficiency in which fluorine-containing organic substances are not easily eluted when used as an acid catalyst.

 FIG. 1 is a scanning electron micrograph showing a skeleton of a columnar entangled structure of the first spherical inorganic porous particles of the present invention.

 FIG. 2 is a scanning electron micrograph showing an example in which the skeleton of the inorganic porous particles has a particulate structure (commercially available silica gel, trade name: MB-100, manufactured by Fuji Silica Chemical Co., Ltd.).

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

 Examples of the constituent components of the first spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention include silica, alumina, silica-alumina, titania, zirconia, and a mixture of two or more of these. Among them, silica is preferred because of its high acid resistance. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the die force as an example.

 The first spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention is a spherical particle, and has a spheroidization ratio A of 75 to 100 (defined below). By making the shape of the particles spherical, an inorganic porous body having high rigidity can be obtained. If the spheroidization ratio is larger than 75, the strength of the particles is large and the particles are hard to break, and this may be due to the loss of particles in practical use or the fine powder generated by crushing clogging the filter of the power ram. Pressure loss is less likely to occur.

 The spheroidization ratio A is defined by the following equation (1):

 A = B X 100 / C (1) where B is the area of the particle, and C is the area of the smallest circumcircle of the particle surface. The measurement can be performed by an image analysis method using a scanning electron micrograph.

 The inorganic porous material of the present invention has a skeleton having a columnar entangled structure. The columnar entangled structure mentioned here refers to a structure in which columnar sili- cle forces of approximately the same thickness have developed three-dimensionally, for example, the structure shown in Fig. 1. In such a structure, it is considered that the strength inherent in silica is exhibited because a weak portion where stress is concentrated is not specified or is small.

 In general, the skeletal structure of porous particles has a columnar entangled structure and a particulate structure.

In the particulate structure, the fine particles of silicon force contact each other while maintaining the An original structure is formed, and the diameter of the contact portion between the fine particles is smaller than the diameter of the fine particles themselves. Therefore, when a force such as compression is applied, stress concentration occurs at the weakest contact point of the silica fine particles, and the overall strength is thought to decrease. The skeleton of the particulate structure is shown, for example, in FIG.

Actually, the fracture strength when a compressive load is applied to a single porous silica particle is measured using a micro-compression tester MC TM-500 type (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), which is an example of a porous silica material having a particulate structure. porosity 0 compressive fracture strength. 6 8 silica gel MB 5 0 0 0 (manufactured by Fuji Shirishia chemical) whereas a 9 1 kg / cm ^2, the porous silica of the columnar entanglement structure used in the present invention For example, the porosity was 0.74, and the compressive fracture strength was 128 kg / cm ² . It is experimentally clear that the strength of the porous porous body of ordinary granular structure is lower than that of porous silica of columnar entangled structure.

 The first spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention has a large average pore diameter and a large pore volume (porosity). This was achieved because the strength of the porous body was large because it had a columnar entangled structure and was spherical. It is a feature of the spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention that it is a spherical particle having such an internal structure.

 The average pore diameter of the spherical inorganic porous material is 100 to 200 nm, preferably 300 to 150 nm, more preferably 500 to 150 nm, and still more preferably 500 nm. 1100 nm. Within this range, the spherical inorganic porous material tends to have a columnar entangled structure.

 The porosity is defined as the ratio of the volume of pores to the total volume of the inorganic porous material particles, and is 0.5 to 0.9, preferably 0.6 to 0.9, more preferably 0.65 to 0.9. .8. When the porosity is in a range larger than 0.5, the amount of various kinds of supported materials can be increased. Further, when the porosity is in a range smaller than 0.9, the strength of the porous particles becomes large and the porous particles become suitable for practical use.

The spherical inorganic porous body of the present invention has a solid interior. The term “solid” as used herein means that the interior is not hollow, that is, one or a few large pores do not occupy the majority of the particle volume, but rather countless pores having a small diameter compared to the particle size. It means that a porous body is formed. Preferably, it means that there are no or few holes having a hole diameter larger by one digit or more than the average pore diameter inside the particles. Solid or hollow Whether it is present can be easily determined by observing the cross section with a scanning electron microscope. The particle diameter of the first spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention is 1 m to 5 mm, preferably 1 m to 3 mm, more preferably 10 πι to 1 πιιη, and still more preferably 10 m to 200 m. It is. If the particle diameter is larger than 1 m, a columnar entangled structure tends to be formed due to the balance between the pore diameter and the particle diameter. Further, when the particle diameter is smaller than 5 mm, when the particles are used as various carriers, for example, diffusion of reactive molecules and ions in the particles becomes sufficient. Further, when the constituent material of the porous body is silica, it is preferable that the spherical inorganic porous body substantially contains a silicic anhydride as a constituent unit. Specifically, it is preferable that a substantial part of the skeleton of the porous silica is a three-dimensional polymer containing 99% or more by weight of gay acid as a constituent unit. If the content of gay anhydride is 99% or more, high chemical resistance, especially acid resistance can be obtained because there are few impurities (inorganic salts and inorganic oxides) in the mixture. There is little adverse effect as impurities in the atmosphere.

 Next, an example of a method for producing a spherical inorganic porous body will be described. Although two production methods are described here, the spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention and the production method thereof are not limited thereto.

 The first method for producing a spherical inorganic porous material starts with preparing an aqueous solution of silica sol and an inorganic salt. In this method, water is used as a solvent, but water is selected from the viewpoint of environmental safety, and other solvents such as alcohols and polar solvents such as dimethylformamide that dissolve inorganic salts are also used. Can be used. The solid content of the solution is not particularly limited, but is preferably from 10 to 80% by weight, more preferably from 20 to 50% by weight. The higher the water content of the solution, the greater the amount of heat required for drying. On the other hand, if the solids content is too high, the dispersibility of the solids tends to deteriorate, and the physical properties of the porous material tend to be uneven.

Inorganic salts are (1) compounds that exhibit a melting point between 400 and 800 ° C during sintering, and (2) compounds that have a high affinity with the silicic power of inorganic porous materials and are easily compatible. preferable. The sintering operation is performed at a temperature higher than the sintering temperature of the sintering force. The conditions (1) and (2) above are closely related to the sintering temperature. This is because at the sintering temperature, the added inorganic salt is molten and becomes liquid, This is because it is considered that the interaction at the interface between the liquid phase and the solid of the Siri force acts to form the structure of the first porous body of the present invention. Any inorganic salt that satisfies the conditions (1) and (2) can be used. Particularly preferred specific examples are molybdate, molybdenum oxide, molybdenum oxide, or a mixture of molybdate and phosphate. , Phosphates, alkali metal chlorides such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride; alkali metal sulfates such as potassium sulfate; and mixtures of these with alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium chloride. Since molybdenum oxide has low solubility in water and is difficult to use as it is, it is preferably used in the form of an ammonium molybdate salt which is oxidized during sintering and changes into molybdenum oxide, and has high solubility in water.

These inorganic salts can be used alone or in a mixture of two or more. By selecting conditions such as the type of salt used, a porous silicon material having a desired pore size / narrow pore size distribution can be obtained. Specifically, the method disclosed in JP-B-3-39730 or JP-B-6-154427 is exemplified. Preferably Anmoniumu and monosodium phosphate molybdate as an inorganic salt (N a / ^/ M with o molar ratio 6 Z 4 ~ 0. 5/ 9. 5 Composition of) volume ratio of the use ,, inorganic salt / silica force It is preferable to use an aqueous solution having a charge composition of 2/1 (porosity 0.60) to 12Z1 (porosity 0.90).

After preparing a homogeneous aqueous solution of a mixed solution of silicic acid sol or water glass and inorganic salt, precipitate or gel it by any operation to make it non-uniform, and then use a spray dryer, vibrating granulator, etc. Granulation is performed by the apparatus described in (1). Of these treatments, the non-uniformity treatment is particularly important. If granulation is performed with a uniform and transparent mixture of the sily sol or the water glass and the inorganic salt, the hot air temperature under the spray drying conditions ゃ the amount of the feed liquid, and the amount of hot air can be varied, However, particles having a low spheroidization ratio can be obtained even if the viscosity of the mixture, the solid content, and the drying conditions, which are considered to be other factors, are changed. On the other hand, particles having a high spheroidization ratio can be obtained only when the mixture is brought into a state in which precipitation occurs or in a non-uniform state in which gelation occurs. Whether or not the mixed solution is non-uniform can be visually judged from the fact that the solution which was transparent in a uniform state becomes cloudy. That is, the non-uniformity referred to in the invention of the present application is a microscopic phenomenon in which the solution is gelled or precipitated and the solution becomes cloudy. Refers to unevenness. It is presumed that the uniformity of the composition inside the particles after granulation and drying has been improved by making the liquid mixture once uniform and then making it non-uniform.

 The method of making the mixture non-uniform is not particularly limited. One of them is the acidity of the mixture.

(p H) can be exemplified. There is no particular limitation on the acid and acid added to the mixed solution to control the pH, but the acid is preferably a mineral acid, particularly nitric acid, and the acid is particularly preferably aqueous ammonia. This is because both nitric acid and ammonia vaporize as nitrogen oxides during the baking process and are removed from the particles. The pH at which the mixed solution becomes uneven depends on the type and amount of the inorganic salt used and the temperature of the solution. For example, when ammonium molybdate and sodium phosphate are used as the inorganic salt, the mixture becomes non-uniform at either pH 1 or lower or 7 or higher and 10 or lower. The value of pH here is, of course, a value measured in a state where the aqueous solution is stirred to some extent. If the aqueous solution is not sufficiently stirred or if the aqueous solution is not stirred, a phenomenon in which only local opacity and gelation occur is observed, and the apparent pH is 1 or less or 7 or more and 10 or less. However, it may not be within the range of deviation. If granulation is carried out with a spray dryer using this insufficiently stirred liquid, a part of the force to obtain spherical particles will be partly mixed with irregularly shaped particles. Therefore, the liquid is preferably stirred.

 The effect of the heterogeneity of the mixture on the granulated particle shape has not been clarified and remains within the estimation range, but droplets of the mixture enter the drying tower; hot air around 0 () ° c It is presumed that the requirement for the formation of spherical particles is that the precipitates and gels are clogged in the droplets when touching (when drying starts).

 That is, in order to make the spheroidization ratio 75 or more, it is preferable to adjust the acidity (pH) of the solution of silica gel, ammonium molybdate, and monosodium phosphate. Spray-drying is carried out in a state where gelation has been advanced.

 Next, granulation is performed. Granulation means removing mixed water by producing mixed droplets having a predetermined diameter and then drying. There is no particular limitation on the granulation method.

Generally, the shape of the porous silica particles also depends on the granulation conditions. Examples of the granulation method include a spray drying method and a method in which uniform droplets are formed using ultrasonic waves and then dried (JP-B-3-39730). When drying the generated mixed droplets, the particle shape becomes Decided. Factors that determine the particle shape include non-uniformity of the mixture, physical properties such as solid content and viscosity, and drying conditions such as temperature and humidity. The drying conditions are also factors directly related to the productivity and price of the product. In view of this, for example, in the spray drying method, the temperature of the hot air at the entrance of the drying tower is preferably around 200 ° C. In the embodiment of the present invention, a spray drying method capable of mass production was selected in consideration of economy, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

 In the manufacturing method exemplified above, the change in the shape of the obtained particles is relatively small even if the granulation conditions such as the hot air temperature, the amount of hot air, and the amount of the mixed liquid introduced are variously changed.

 Next, firing is performed. The firing temperature is usually from 400 to 100 ° C. However, in order to achieve a predetermined average pore size and a narrow pore size distribution, the inorganic salt used must be melted, that is, at a temperature not lower than the melting point of the inorganic salt and not higher than 200 ° C higher than the melting point of the inorganic salt. Preferably, baking is performed. If the temperature is higher than the melting point of the inorganic salt, the average pore size is likely to be large. If the temperature is 200 ° C. or lower than the melting point, the average pore size is unlikely to be too large. For example, baking is performed at 675 for 1 hour (average pore diameter of 500 nm) to 75 ° C for 4 hours (average pore diameter of 2000 nm). The melting point is 10

The desired product may be obtained even at temperatures as low as ~ 20 ° C.

 The firing time is set in relation to the firing temperature. The baking is performed in a short time at a high temperature and for a long time at a low temperature. Considering workability, etc.

It is preferable to hold for 5 to 5 hours. Here, for example, when a salt such as ammonium molybdate is used, calcination is performed at around 300 to 400 ° C. to remove ammonia, and then calcination is performed at the above temperature.

 Next, after cooling, the inorganic salt is removed from the obtained calcined product by washing. Any washing solution can be used as long as it does not dissolve silica but dissolves inorganic salts. Ability to use acidic solutions of mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. In particular, water is preferably used in terms of cost and environment. There is no particular limitation on the amount of the cleaning solution or the cleaning temperature, and conditions are set for removing at least 99% by weight of the inorganic salt in the porous silicon body. It is preferable that the obtained solution of the inorganic salt is reused as necessary, or the inorganic salt is recovered from the solution.

In the second method for producing a spherical inorganic porous material, an existing spherical inorganic porous material is used as a starting material. Used as In this method, the spherical inorganic porous body having a large pore diameter of the present invention can be produced while maintaining the spherical shape of the existing spherical inorganic porous body. Therefore, it is necessary that the existing spherical inorganic porous material itself has an appropriate spheroidizing ratio.

 The existing spherical inorganic porous material is not particularly limited as long as it has an appropriate spheroidizing ratio. Examples thereof include silica, alumina, silica-alumina, titania, zirconium, and a mixture of two or more of these. And a spherical inorganic porous material. Among these, spherical porous silica is most commonly used as typified by silica gel, and is preferably used because of the high acid resistance of silica. Hereinafter, the second method will be described using a spherical porous body as an example of the existing spherical inorganic porous body.

 The first step of the second method is to prepare an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt. Although water is used as the solvent, it is not limited to water as in the first production method of the present invention. The concentration of the solution is between 0.1% and 80% by weight, preferably between 5% and 80% by weight. When the concentration is 0.1% by weight or more, the inorganic salt easily enters the porous silica and the phase separation easily proceeds by only one impregnation and drying step. Therefore, the number of times of repeating the impregnation / drying process is reduced, which is efficient.

 The inorganic salt used here is the same as the inorganic salt that can be used in the first method.

 Next, an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt is impregnated into the porous silica. The amount (volume) of the aqueous inorganic salt solution is 50% to 100%, preferably 60% to 90%, of the pore volume (volume) of the used porous silica material. If it is 50% or more, the inorganic salt aqueous solution easily enters the pores of the porous silica material as a whole, and spots hardly occur. On the other hand, if the content is less than 100%, it becomes difficult for the aqueous solution of the inorganic salt to exist outside the porous silica, and the dissolved inorganic salt is effectively used, which causes coalescence of the porous silica particles. Hateful. The porous silicon body is brought into contact with and mixed with an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt under atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure. The mixing method is not limited, but an evaporator or various mixers can be used. The mixing time is until the aqueous solution of the inorganic salt enters the porous porous body, and is, for example, 0.5 to 1 hour.

Next, the porous silicon body containing the inorganic salt aqueous solution is dried. The drying method is not particularly limited, and drying is performed under normal pressure or reduced pressure, at normal temperature, or while heating. As a result, the force at which the inorganic salt enters the pores of the porous silica body The rate is between 10 and 100%, preferably between 30 and 100%, more preferably between 50 and 100%. If it is lower than 100%, the pores are unlikely to be enlarged by sintering, and if it is higher than 100%, the coalescence of particles may be caused. By repeating the impregnation and drying steps of the aqueous inorganic salt solution into the porous porous body several times, the volume ratio of the inorganic salt to the pores can be increased. There is no limitation on the residual moisture during drying, but it is preferably 0.1 to 10% by weight. Residual water is removed in the next baking step, but if more than 10% by weight of water remains, there is a possibility of rapid evaporation of water during baking and destroying the structure of porous silica. .

 Next, firing is performed. This firing step is the same as the above-mentioned first manufacturing method.

 Next, the inorganic salt is removed from the obtained fired product by washing. This step is also the same as the first production method of the present invention.

 The inorganic porous material obtained by these methods and the like is classified, for example, by a sieve so as to have a predetermined particle size, and if necessary, washed with water and dried before being used. There is no particular limitation on the drying method.

 The first spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention is extremely excellent in that despite its high porosity, it has excellent mechanical strength, is hard to crack during use, and can have a relatively uniform particle size. It has characteristics. In addition, since the porosity and strength are higher than those using commercially available silica gel or porous glass, stationary phases for gas chromatography and liquid chromatography, stationary phases for preparative chromatography, and cell culture carriers It is useful as an adsorbent, a catalyst, or a carrier thereof.

 The porous composite of the present invention is obtained by incorporating a fluorine-containing organic substance into inorganic porous particles and substantially preventing elution of the fluorine-containing organic substance from the pores of the inorganic porous particles serving as a carrier. Fluorine-containing organic substances are substantially fixed to inorganic porous particles.

The particle diameter of the inorganic porous material particles used as the carrier of the porous composite is 1 zm to 5 mm, preferably 1 zm to 3 mm, and more preferably 10 µm to 1 mm. If the particle size of the inorganic porous particles is 1 / m or more, handling is relatively easy, and for example, when used by filling in a power ram, the pressure loss before and after the power ram can be relatively low. : When the particle diameter is 5 mm or less, it is necessary for diffusion inside the pores of the porous composite Since the time is short, the functions of organic substances, such as ion exchange, catalyst, and adsorption of metal elements, can be sufficiently exhibited.

 The porosity of the inorganic porous material particles is from 0.2 to 0.9, preferably from 0.6 to 0.9, more preferably from 0.65 to 0.8, from the viewpoint of compatibility between mechanical strength and catalytic efficiency. It is. The higher the porosity, the more organic substances can be supported, and the capacity as a porous composite, for example, the amount of catalytic active sites, can be increased. Suppose that polytrifluorostyrene sulfonic acid is supported on the porous silicon bodies (i) and (ii) having a porosity of 0.50 and 0.80, respectively. It is assumed that the amount of vacancy is 0.25 ml with 1 ml of the inorganic-organic composite. In the porous silica (i) with a porosity of 0.50, the silica becomes 0.50 m, the polytrifluorostyrene sulfonic acid becomes 0.25 m1, the porosity becomes 0.25 m1, and the volume of the porous composite becomes The exchange capacities per weight and weight are 1.47 meq / m1 and 1.01 meq Zg, respectively (the specific gravity of silica is 2.2, the specific gravity of polytrifluorofluorstyrenesulfonic acid is 1.40). Hereinafter, the same applies to the calculation of the porous silica (ii).) On the other hand, in the porous silicon material (ii) with a porosity of 0.80, the silicon power is 0.20 ml, the polytrifluorostyrenesulfonic acid is 0.55 ml, and the pore volume is 0.25 m1. The exchange capacity of polytrifluorene styrene sulfonic acid per volume and weight of the porous composite is 3.24 milliequivalents Zml and 2.67 milliequivalents / g, respectively. Porous silica (ii) has only 1.6 times greater porosity than porous silica (i), but has an exchange capacity per volume and weight of 2.2 times, respectively. 2. You can see that it is 6 times. It is preferable to increase the porosity as much as the mechanical strength allows, since the diffusion rate of the substance in the porous composite particles can be increased.

 The average pore size of the inorganic porous particles is 5 to 200 nm, preferably 100 to 2000 nm, and more preferably 800 to 200 nm. When the average pore diameter is equal to or larger than the lower limit, it is easy to secure a route for the reactant to enter the organic substance in the pores of the inorganic porous material particles.As a result, for example, a catalytic reaction occurs efficiently c The average pore diameter is equal to or smaller than the upper limit. Then, the mechanical strength of the inorganic porous material particles is maintained.

As the inorganic porous particles, known porous ceramic particles are preferably used. You. Specifically, inorganic porous particles made of silica, alumina, silica-alumina, titania, zirconia, or a mixture of two or more thereof are exemplified. Among these, porous silica particles are preferably used because they can easily produce substantially spherical particles, have a narrow particle size distribution, and have high acid resistance of silica.

 Furthermore, the pore state of the porous silica particle surface is the same as that of the inside, and there are no shells with a low pore state on the surface, for example, when the adsorbed species moves into the particles when used as an adsorbent. It is preferable from the viewpoint of easiness.

 In the porous composite of the present invention, it is particularly preferable to use the first or second spherical inorganic porous material of the present invention from the viewpoint of particle strength and utilization efficiency of the fluorine-containing organic substance.

 By using such inorganic porous particles, the content of the fluorine-containing organic substance per unit volume can be increased, and the apparatus can be made more compact. In addition, since the amount of space (porosity) after the fluorine-containing organic substance is included in the inorganic porous material can be increased, the column pressure must be kept low, for example, when the column is filled and used. Can be. Furthermore, for example, when an ion exchanger is used as the fluorine-containing organic substance, the resistance to changes in the type and concentration of the eluent during adsorption and desorption increases, and the particles are crushed when packed into a large column. Atomization can be prevented, and the separation operation can be repeated stably.

 The porous composite of the present invention is obtained by supporting a fluorine-containing organic substance on the inorganic porous particles as described above and substantially fixing the same.

 The fluorinated organic substance referred to here is not limited in chemical properties such as its composition and molecular structure, and can be selected from various organic compounds having fluorine molecules. Fluoride is preferred because of its excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance due to the large electronegativity and small atomic diameter of fluorine. In particular, perfluorocarbon is preferable because of its excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance. Further, not limited to the fluorine-containing organic substance, a halogen-containing organic substance having a halogen atom other than fluorine may be used.

It is desirable that the fluorine-containing organic substance has functional groups corresponding to various uses. As used herein, the term “functional group” refers to a functional group having functionality and a reactive group that is an atom or atomic group having high chemical reactivity. Specific examples of the functionality of the functional group include: , Chelating ability, redox ability, catalytic coordination ability, etc. Examples of functional groups having these functions include sulfonic acid groups, carboxylic acid groups, phosphonic acid groups, primary to tertiary amine-derived amino groups, hydroquinone groups, and thiol groups. There are groups. The reactive group having high chemical reactivity includes, for example, an isocyanate group, a diazonium group, a chloromethyl group, an aldehyde group, an epoxy group, a halogen group, a carboxyl group, and an amino group. Examples of the fluorine-containing organic substances having these functional groups include ion-exchange fluorine-containing resins, chelate fluorine-containing resins containing chelating ligands, and redox fluorine-containing resins having hydroquinone and thiol. No. The ion-exchange fluororesin may be a fluororesin having both cation and anion exchange groups in addition to a fluororesin having a cation or anion exchange group. Examples of cation exchange groups include sulfonic, carboxyl or phosphate groups.

 As a method for introducing a functional group, the fluorine-containing organic material before being contained in the inorganic porous material particles may have a functional group, or the organic material may be reacted with the functional group-introducing agent after being carried on the inorganic porous material particles. In this case, a functional group may be introduced.

 In particular, examples of useful fluorine-containing organic substances when the porous composite of the present invention is used as an acid catalyst or the like include one or more polymerizable monomers represented by the following formula (2) and a polymerizable monomer described below. And copolymers obtained by combining one or more polymerizable monomers selected from the group of hydrophilic monomers.

(Wherein, _Y _{are, - S0 3 H, -SO,} F, -SO 3 Na, - S0 3 K, one S0 ₂ NH _2, One S0 ₂ NH _4, One CO_〇_H one CN, one COF, One COOR

(R is an alkyl group having 1 to 1 0 carbon), _{_PO;!} H ₂ or - P0 ₃ H. a is an integer of 0 to 6, b is an integer of 0 to 6, c is 0 or 1, and a + b—c ≠ 0 And n is an integer from 0 to 6. X is any one of 〇1, Br or F when 11 ≥ 1, or a combination of plural kinds. R _t and R _t ′ independently comprise F, Cl, a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and a fluorochloroalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. It is selected from a group. The polymerizable monomers to be copolymerized with these are tetrafluoroethylene, trifluoromonoethylene, trifluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride, 1,1-difluoro-2,2- Dichloroethylene, 1,1-difluoro-2-chloroethylene, hexafluoropropylene, 1,1,1,3,3_pentafluorofluoropropylene, octafluoroisobutylene, ethylene, vinyl chloride and alkyl vinyl Esters and the like. The copolymerization may be performed before or after the polymerizable monomer is contained in the inorganic porous particles as a carrier. After the copolymerization, if necessary, the functional group is converted to an ion-exchange group by a post-treatment such as hydrolysis.

 The exchange capacity of the ion-exchange group of such a fluorine-containing organic substance is defined by the number of moles of the ion-exchange group per gram, and is usually measured by a titration method. Desirable exchange capacity of the fluorine-containing organic substance used in the porous composite of the present invention is 0.70 to 2.00 meq / g, preferably 0.90 to 1.40 meq / g. And more preferably from 1.0 to 1.40 meq Zg. If it is smaller than 0.90 milliequivalent Zg, the exchange capacity of the composite becomes small and the performance is reduced. On the other hand, if it is more than 2.0 meq / g, it becomes difficult to maintain the shape in the composite, and the fluorine-containing organic substance tends to elute from the inorganic porous material.

 The exchange capacity of the composite of the fluorine-containing organic substance and the inorganic porous particles is not limited, but is preferably 0.10 meq / g or more. If it is smaller than this, the adsorptivity and the efficiency as a catalyst are low, which is practically disadvantageous.

 In the porous composite of the present invention, the fluorinated organic substance contained in the inorganic porous particles does not elute from the inorganic porous particles as a carrier under various use conditions and is substantially fixed. Is important.

The following three methods are exemplified as a supporting method for preventing elution. In addition, the porous composite of the present invention is not limited by the elution prevention method exemplified below. Absent.

 One method is to include a fluorine-containing organic substance in the inorganic porous material particles, heat the same for a certain time in a certain temperature range, and then cool it. Surprisingly, the fluorine-containing organic substance can be substantially immobilized on the inorganic porous material particles by performing the heat treatment under appropriate conditions. For example, when silica and a fluorine-containing organic substance are mixed and dried by the sol-gel method, or when a solution of the fluorine-containing organic substance is impregnated into inorganic porous material particles and dried, the polymer chains of the fluorine-containing organic substance are sufficient. No entanglement, no crystallization. By heating the fluorinated organic substance in this state near the melting point, the polymer chain force becomes sufficiently entangled. It is believed that the rejection results in crystallization and the elimination of fluorine-containing organic substances. The heating temperature is preferably at least 50 ° C. lower than the melting point of the fluorinated organic substance and not higher than the decomposition temperature of the fluorinated organic substance. It is more preferable that the temperature is lower than the decomposition temperature. When the fluorine-containing organic substance is perfluorocarbon sulfonic acid, if it is a Na salt or a K salt, the melting point clearly appears in the measurement with a differential scanning calorimeter. It is preferable to heat around the melting point. The heating time is related to the heating temperature. Heating at a relatively high temperature for a relatively short time and at a relatively low temperature for a relatively long time are effective in preventing elution. Preferably, the heating time is between 30 minutes and 2 hours.

 After the heat treatment, cool down. The cooling temperature may be around room temperature.

 A wide-angle X-ray diffraction method (Rigakusha Co., Ltd.) was used for a porous composite made through impregnation, heating, and cooling steps using Amplex (manufactured by Asahi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), which is one of perfluorocarbon sulfonic acids. The crystallinity of perfluorocarbon sulfonic acid was measured by Rigaku Rotaf 1 ex RU-200), and the exchange capacity was 1.11 meq Zg and the crystallinity was 10% and 1%. It was 16% at 0.00 meq / 8 and 18% at 0.91 meq Zg.

Another method for preventing the elution of the fluorinated organic substance is to allow the fluorinated organic substance to be contained in the inorganic porous material particles and then to crosslink the fluorinated organic substance. Divinylbenzene, divinyltoluene, divinylxylene, divinylethylbenze Divinylbenzene, divinyldiphenyl, divinyldiphenylmethane, divinyldibenzyl, divinylphenylether, divinyldiphenylsulfide, divinyldiphenylamine, divinylsulfone, divinylketone, divinylpyri Gin, diaryl phthalate, diaryl maleate, diaryl fumarate, diaryl succinate, diaryl oxalate, diaryl adipate, diaryl sebacate, diarylamine, triarylamine, N, N'-ethylenediacrylamide, N , N'-Methylenediacrylamide, N, N'-Methylenedimethacrylamide, Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, 1,3-Butylene glycol diacrylate, Triaryl isocyanurate, Triallyl citrate, Trimeric trimellitate Le, and the like Shianunore acid Toriariru.

 Yet another method for preventing elution is to bond a fluorine-containing organic substance to the inorganic porous particles by a covalent bond. For example, a functional group is introduced into the surface of the porous silicon body by a silylating agent having a functional group such as vinylsilanediarylsilane, and a radical polymerization reaction is performed between the functional group and a fluorine-containing organic substance having a vinyl group. Thus, elution of the fluorine-containing organic substance from the composite can be prevented.

 Of these three methods, the first method is the simplest and preferred because it has less restrictions on conditions.

 The composites obtained by the above-mentioned elution prevention methods are obtained by attaching a fluoropolymer in a layered or granular form to the surface of the skeleton inside the inorganic porous particles. The reactant and the adsorbed material move in the remaining space of the pores of the inorganic porous material not occupied by the fluoropolymer. In other words, since the inorganic porous particles have a relatively large pore size and porosity, even if a large amount of fluoropolymer is supported, a space (pore) through which the reactant and the adsorbent move is left. As a result, large utilization efficiency and reaction efficiency can be expected.

Whether or not the fluorinated organic substance is substantially immobilized on the inorganic porous material can be evaluated by heating the complex carrying the fluorinated organic substance having an ion-exchange group in dimethyl sulfoxide. . Specifically, 1 g of the complex was added to 100 g of dimethyl sulfoxide (special grade manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), heated at 90 ° C for 3 hours, filtered, and washed with dimethyl sulfoxide (hereinafter, referred to as dimethyl sulfoxide). This is referred to as dimethyl sulfoxide treatment.) Then, measure the exchange capacity. The dissolution rate (%) is defined by the following equation (3), where D is the exchange capacity of the complex before dimethyl sulfoxide treatment and E is the exchange capacity after treatment.

 Dissolution rate 2 (D−E) X 100 / D (3) The dissolution rate of the complex of the present invention is preferably from 0 to 70%, more preferably from 0 to 50%.

 According to the elution prevention method (immobilization method) exemplified in the present invention, the remaining portion after the easily eluted portion is not eluted. Therefore, the exchange capacity after the eluted portion elutes is also important. The preferred exchange capacity after the dimethyl sulfoxide heat treatment is 0.10 meq Z g or more. With an exchange capacity smaller than 0.10 meq Zg, there is little part that acts as an ion-exchange group, and this is likely to be practically disadvantageous. Next, a method for producing the composite of the present invention will be described.

 One of the methods for producing the composite of the present invention is to include a homogeneous mixed solution containing a fluorine-containing organic substance and a diluent in the pores of the inorganic porous material particles, and then remove the diluent. This is a method of performing a heating treatment and a cooling treatment, which are one of the above-described fixing treatments. The composition of the homogeneous mixture containing the fluorine-containing organic substance and the diluent is not particularly limited, but preferably contains 1 to 70 wt%, more preferably 2 to 50 ^^% of the fluorine-containing organic substance. . If the amount of the fluorinated organic substance is too small, it is not efficient because a large number of the steps of including and drying the mixed solution are repeated in order to include a predetermined amount of the fluorinated organic substance in the pores of the inorganic porous material. On the other hand, if the amount is too large, the viscosity of the homogeneous mixed solution becomes too large, and the containing treatment becomes substantially difficult.

 The homogeneous mixture is brought into contact with the inorganic porous particles in order to introduce the homogeneous mixture containing the fluoropolymer substance and the diluent into the pores of the inorganic porous particles. Various methods can be used for introducing the mixed solution. For example, a method in which the particles and the homogeneous mixed solution are simply brought into contact with each other under atmospheric pressure, preferably with low-speed stirring, a method in which the particles and the homogeneous mixed solution are brought into contact under vacuum, and a method in which the particles are treated by a silyl reaction or the like. A method of contacting with a homogeneous mixed solution may, for example, be mentioned.

In the inorganic porous particles containing the homogeneous mixed liquid thus obtained, the mixed liquid adheres and remains on the outer surface to some extent. The smaller this residual liquid is, the better. To reduce the residual liquid, for example, adjust the amount of The amount of pores should be equal to or less than the pore size, and then brought into contact under low-speed stirring. In this way, the mixture remaining on the outer surface of the particles can be made very small. To remove the mixture remaining on the outer surface of the inorganic porous particles, the inorganic porous particles can be placed on a glass filter, etc., and then washed with an inert liquid insoluble in the mixture. Good. The type of inert liquid used is selected according to the type of homogeneous mixture. For example, water is used as an inert liquid when the mixture is fat-soluble.

 After the homogeneous mixture is contained in the inorganic porous material particles, the diluent is removed. There is no particular limitation on the method of removal, but for example, evaporative drying by heating (in this case, the pressure may be reduced if necessary), a solvent that does not dissolve the fluoropolymer substance but dissolves the diluent Examples of the method include washing.

 Next, a heating step is performed. The purpose of this step is to fix the fluorine-containing polymer substance by melting and crystallization as described above, and the heating temperature for that purpose is not less than 50 ° C lower than the melting point of the fluorine-containing polymer substance. The temperature is not higher than the decomposition temperature of the fluorine-containing polymer substance, preferably from the melting point of the fluorine-containing polymer substance to the decomposition temperature of the fluorine-containing polymer substance. According to the measurement by the differential scanning calorimeter, the polymer substance shows a relatively broad endothermic curve. If the peak temperature of the endothermic curve is defined as the melting point, the melting phenomenon occurs even at a lower temperature.Therefore, even if the temperature is 50 ° C lower than the melting point, the melting time may be prolonged by prolonging the heating time. Can be. The heating time depends on the heating temperature, but it is 30 minutes to 2 hours to perform it efficiently.

 Next, cooling is performed. The purpose of cooling is to maintain the entanglement of the molecular chains of the molten polymer and to crystallize the polymer. It is considered that the fluorine-containing organic substance contained in the carrier is thereby immobilized on the carrier. The cooling method is not particularly limited as long as it achieves this purpose. For example, there are a method in which the furnace is taken out of the heating furnace to room temperature and allowed to cool, and a method in which the power of the heating furnace is turned off and allowed to cool as is.

Another method for producing a composite is a sol-gel method in which a porous silicon force is produced by hydrolysis of an alkoxysilane. Using this, the fluorine-containing organic substance and the inorganic porous material can be mixed. For example, mixing tetramethoxysilane, water and hydrochloric acid, A gel solution is formed by adding a mixed solution of naphion, which is one of the fluorine-containing organic substances, and sodium hydroxide to this mixed solution, and then dried and washed with hydrochloric acid. These methods are already known, for example W0 9 5/1 9 2 2 2 Contact Ri is disclosed in, actually SAC - 1 3 ^R marketed in (US D u P 0 nt Co.) the trade name I have. However, in the mixed solid obtained in the steps up to this point, the fluorinated organic substance is simply included in the skeleton of the inorganic porous material, and since the above-mentioned immobilization treatment has not been performed, methanol, acetone, When heated in a raw solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide, naphth ions in the mixed solid elute. When used as a solid catalyst or an adsorbent under various conditions, such elution becomes a problem in the case of separation from reaction products, reuse as a catalyst, etc., and washing treatment using an organic solvent. Therefore, it is necessary to perform the above-described fixing treatment, and it is particularly simple and preferable to perform the heating treatment. Another method for producing the composite of the present invention is a method for producing a composite including a polymerizable monomer or a polymerizable oligomer which can be a fluorine-containing polymer in pores of an inorganic porous material, a crosslinking agent, a radical initiator and a diluent. After containing a mixed liquid or a homogeneous mixed liquid containing a fluorine-containing organic substance, a cross-linking agent and a diluent, polymerization or Z or cross-linking reaction is carried out by heating or light irradiation, and then the resulting resin This is a method of removing diluent from the inside. This production method is started by introducing the mixed liquid into the pores by contacting the inorganic porous material with the homogeneous mixed liquid as described above.

 As the polymerizable monomer that can be a fluorine-containing polymer substance used in the homogeneous mixed solution, one having a vinyl group is preferable.

The diluent may be any as long as it can form a uniform mixture with the monomer, oligomer or polymer compound and the crosslinking agent. In general, when the monomer, oligomer or polymer compound is lipophilic, an organic liquid is preferable, and when these raw materials are hydrophilic, water or an aqueous solution is preferable. The diluent may be used not only alone but also as a mixture. However, preferred types of diluents include not only compatibility but also various conditions for producing the complex, such as the configuration of the reaction system, temperature and pressure, or the spatial characteristics to be imparted to the resin in the produced complex. Etc. For example, a method of forming a resin by polymerization or cross-linking reaction after allowing the homogeneous mixed solution to be contained in the pores of the inorganic porous material is performed by directly heating or irradiating light, or by mixing the homogeneous mixed solution in the dispersion. The method is broadly divided into methods in which the inorganic porous material particles are dispersed and then heated or irradiated with light. In the latter method, the compatibility between the dispersion and the diluent must be considered. That is, when the dispersion is hydrophilic, a lipophilic organic liquid is preferable as the diluent. On the other hand, when the dispersion is lipophilic, a hydrophilic liquid is preferable.

 Specific examples of diluents include water and chlorobenzene, toluene, xylene, octane, decane, methanol, butanol, octanol, getyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, ethyl benzoate, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, Organic liquids such as getyl oxalate, ethyl carbonate, nitroethane, and cyclohexanone are exemplified.

 Also in the present production method, it is preferable to minimize the amount of the homogeneous mixture adhering to the outer surface of the inorganic porous material particles. In addition to the methods already described above, the amount of the homogeneous mixture adhering may be reduced as much as possible before starting the polymerization reaction or the crosslinking reaction. Two methods can be exemplified as this method.

 The first method is a filtration method. That is, by filtering the particles containing the mixed liquid, the mixed liquid remaining on the outer surface thereof can be reduced. In this case, it is preferable to use a filtration method such as pressure filtration or centrifugal filtration because the filtration time is reduced.

The second method is to incorporate the mixed solution into the particles and then disperse the particles in the liquid while forcibly agitating them without reacting with the mixed solution or dissolving the mixed solution. . In this case, it is preferable to use a dispersion containing a dispersant. The dispersion stably holds the mixed liquid shaken off from the outer surface of the particles by forced stirring in the dispersed liquid, and prevents the mixed liquid from re-adhering to the particle surface. For example, when water is used as the dispersing liquid, dispersing agents such as gum arabic, rosin, pectin, alginate, tragacanth, agar, methylcellulose, starch, carboxymethylcellulose, karaya gum, gelatin, etc., and sodium polyacrylate , Polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, carbopol, synthetic polymers such as diacetolein, magnesium, aluminum silicate, velmagel, hydrated magnesium silicate, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate, tanolek, barium sulfate, Inorganic substances such as calcium phosphate, aluminum hydroxide, and anhydrous sulfuric acid can be used.If necessary, salts such as salt, pH adjusters, and surfactants Etc. may be added.

 In the present production method, the inorganic porous particles after the treatment for containing the homogeneous mixed solution are subjected to a heat treatment or a light irradiation treatment. When the homogeneous mixture is composed of a monomer or oligomer, a cross-linking agent and a diluent, polymerization or cross-linking reaction occurs by heating or light irradiation. When a monomer containing a vinyl group is used, the polymerization reaction generates a force that can be used in any polymerization reaction that proceeds according to the radical polymerization or ion polymerization mechanism depending on the added chemicals and the configuration of the reaction system. Radical polymerization is preferred because the properties of the resin can be easily controlled. In the case of performing radical polymerization, it is preferable to use a polymerization initiator since the reaction can be accelerated to lower the polymerization temperature or shorten the reaction time.

 Examples of suitable polymerization initiators for radical polymerization include benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, and other acyl peroxides, azobisdisoptyronitrile, 2,2, -azobis (2,4-dimethylmalelonitrile). Azonitrile compounds such as tolyl), peroxides such as dibutyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, methylethyl ketone peroxide, hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide and tertiary hydroperoxide. Oxides can be exemplified.

 The amount of the polymerization initiator required depends on the polymerization reaction temperature and the amount and type of the monomer, but is usually 0.01 to 12% by weight based on the weight of the monomer.

 The temperature and time of the heat treatment for causing the polymerization reaction and the crosslinking reaction are 40 to 150 ° C. and 2 to 100 hours, respectively. At this time, the particles including the mixed solution may be heated as it is, or may be heated while being dispersed in the dispersion. When heating as it is, it is preferable to perform low-speed stirring in order to prevent the particles from adhering to each other due to the resin generated on the outer surface. When heating in the state of being dispersed in a dispersion, it is necessary to select a diluent that does not elute the mixture contained in the pores of the particles into the dispersion. It is also preferable to use particles which have been surface-treated with a silylating agent as described above.

The porous composite manufactured under the above conditions contains a diluent inside. Therefore, the complex is immersed in a solvent that dissolves them and left for a while to be filtered off, or the complex is put into a column, and the washing solvent is allowed to flow down, so that the diluent is effective from inside the complex. Can be removed. For example, as diluent When an organic liquid is used, a water-soluble solvent such as methanol or acetone is used as a washing solvent, and the diluent can be easily removed by further washing the washing solvent with water.

 The composite obtained in this manner may be used as it is for a filler for ion-exchange resin chromatography or as an adsorbent, or may be subjected to a post-reaction to be used as it is. A functional group may be introduced into the resin for use. The reaction for introducing a functional group is not limited, and a normal organic reaction can be performed.

 The composite particles of perfluorocarbon sulfonic acid and porous silica, which is one of the porous composites of the present invention, can be used as a solid acid catalyst by utilizing its large acidity.

 The use form of the porous composite of the present invention as a reaction catalyst is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a fluidized bed type, a fixed bed type, and a reactive distillation type. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution and the solid catalyst can be easily separated by, for example, a filtration method. When the reaction product precipitates as a solid from the reaction solution, for example, the reaction solution is separated from the catalyst and the product by a filtration method, then dissolved in a solvent that dissolves the product, and the product is dissolved. Can be separated from catalyst. If necessary, the complex of the present invention separated from the reaction system can be easily regenerated and purified by contact with a mineral acid.

 The organic reaction using the porous composite of the present invention as a solid acid catalyst is not particularly limited. For example, alkylation of aromatic compounds such as benzene and toluene with olefins, alcohols, alkyl halides, alkyl esters, etc .; Isomerization, disproportionation and transalkylation; dimerization of α-methylstyrene; di-tolization, sulphonation, sulfonylation and phosphorylation of aromatic compounds; isomerization of brominated aromatic compounds Cationic polymerization of olefins; synthesis reaction of ether and ester; synthesis reaction of acetal, thioacetal and gem-diacetate; hydrolysis reaction of epoxy group and ester group; transfer reaction such as pinacol / pinacolone; And condensation reactions such as dioxane synthesis. Furthermore, it is also useful as a composite solid catalyst with ions such as mercury, chromium, and cerium.

When the porous composite of the present invention has, for example, an ion-exchange group, its substantial ion exchange capacity is extremely high, and its mechanical strength is relatively small while the amount of ion exchanger is small. It has extremely excellent properties such as excellent resistance to cracking during use, and a relatively uniform particle size. Further, the ion exchanger using the porous composite of the present invention has a larger porosity and a skeleton having a columnar entangled structure as compared with a case where commercially available silica gel or porous glass is used as a carrier. Therefore, it has great strength. Therefore, the porous composite can be used as a stationary phase for gas chromatography and liquid chromatography, a stationary phase for preparative chromatography, a cell culture carrier, an adsorbent, a catalyst or its carrier, particularly an acid catalyst. Specifically, such as an esterification reaction applied acid catalyst, an ester hydrolysis acid catalyst, a nitration reaction acid catalyst, an olefin hydration reaction acid catalyst, a trioxane synthesis acid catalyst, or cooling water of a nuclear power plant. An ion exchange treatment agent of hot water can be used.

 The porous composite of the present invention has a fluorine-containing organic substance substantially immobilized on a carrier, and can be used with stable performance. For example, it can be used relatively stably even in an environment where it comes into contact with a polar organic solvent. In addition, the use efficiency of the fluorinated organic substance is excellent, and the effective use rate of the properties of the fluorinated organic substance, for example, the reaction in the functional group, is high for the supported amount of the fluorinated organic substance.
