本発明の鉱物電池 （すなわち、 本発明による端子型鉱物電池、 露出電極型鉱物 電池、 及び端子 Z露出電極型鉱物電池を含む） で用いる極性結晶体の粉体は、 例 えば、 前記極性結晶体を粉砕することにより得ることができる。 粉体の粒径は、 それを用いて鉱物電池を製造した場合に、 電池として充分な起電力を示す限り、 特に限定されるものではないが、 例えば、 1 /^ m以上の微粒子から 1 m m以下の 粒状体であることができる。 平均粒径に下限は存在しないが、 平均粒径が 1 μ m 未満になると製造コストの上昇に伴う起電力の上昇が認められない。 また、 平均 粒径の上限も存在しないが、 平均粒径が 1 m mを超えると、 空気層の存在により 起電力が低下することがある。 従って、 極性結晶体の粉体の平均粒径は、 好まし くは 2〜5 y mである。  The polar crystalline powder used in the mineral battery of the present invention (that is, including the terminal mineral battery according to the present invention, the exposed electrode type mineral battery, and the terminal Z exposed electrode type mineral battery) is, for example, the polar crystal. Can be obtained by grinding. The particle size of the powder is not particularly limited as long as it shows a sufficient electromotive force as a battery when a mineral battery is manufactured using the same, but, for example, 1 mm from fine particles of 1 / ^ m or more. The following granular materials can be used. Although there is no lower limit for the average particle size, if the average particle size is less than 1 μm, no increase in electromotive force due to an increase in manufacturing cost is observed. Although there is no upper limit for the average particle size, if the average particle size exceeds 1 mm, the electromotive force may decrease due to the presence of the air layer. Therefore, the average particle size of the powder of the polar crystal is preferably 2 to 5 ym.
本発明の鉱物電池 （すなわち、 本発明による端子型鉱物電池、 露出電極型鉱物 電池、 及び端子 露出電極型鉱物電池を含む） は、 5質量％以上の量の水分を極 性結晶体粉体と共に含有する。  The mineral battery of the present invention (that is, including the terminal-type mineral battery, the exposed-electrode-type mineral battery, and the terminal-exposed-electrode-type mineral battery according to the present invention) contains 5% by mass or more of water together with the polar crystalline powder. contains.
本明細書における 「絶対乾燥質量」 とは、 極性結晶体粉体を 1 0 5でで 1時間 乾燥した後の極性結晶体粉体の質量を意味する。  The “absolute dry mass” in this specification means the mass of the polar crystalline powder after drying the polar crystalline powder at 105 for 1 hour.
従って、 水分量 （M；単位-質量％) の測定は、 例えば、 以下の手順で実施す ることができる。 すなわち、 水分を含んだ状態の測定対象極性結晶体粉体の質量 (m。 ；単位 = g ) を予め測定した後、 その極性結晶体粉体を 1 0 5 °Cの温度で 1時間加熱することにより完全乾燥させ、 完全乾燥した状態の極性結晶体粉体の 質量 （m d ；単位 = g ) を測定する。 続いて、 式： Therefore, the measurement of the water content (M; unit-% by mass) can be carried out, for example, by the following procedure. That is, after measuring the mass (m; unit = g) of the polar crystalline powder to be measured in a state containing water, the polar crystalline powder is heated at a temperature of 105 ° C for 1 hour. Then, the polar crystalline powder in a completely dried state (m d ; unit = g) is measured. Then, the formula:
M= { (m。一 m d) /m d} X 1 0 0 M = {(m. One m d ) / m d } X 1 0 0
により水分量を算出することができる。 Can calculate the moisture content.
本発明の鉱物電池 （すなわち、 本発明による端子型鉱物電池、 露出電極型鉱物 電池、 及び端子 露出電極型鉱物電池を含む） において極性結晶体粉体と共に含 有させる水分量は、 5質量％以上である限り、 特に限定されるものではないが、 水分量は、 好ましくは 1 0質量％以上、 より好ましくは 1 5質量％以上である。 また、 水分量の上限も特に限定されるものではないが、 水分量は、 好ましくは 3 0質量％以上、 より好ましくは 2 0質量％以上である。 水分量が 3 0質量％を超 えると、 電気エネルギーが減少することがあるので好ましない。 なお、 極性結晶 体の各粉体の極性の方向は、 水分を含有しない状態では、 ばらばらであるのに対 し、 5質量％以上の水分を含有させた状態では、 一定の方向に配向するため、 充 分な起電力が生じるものと考えられる。 In the mineral battery of the present invention (that is, including the terminal-type mineral battery, the exposed-electrode-type mineral battery, and the terminal-exposed-electrode-type mineral battery according to the present invention), the amount of water contained together with the polar crystalline powder is 5% by mass or more. Is not particularly limited as long as The water content is preferably at least 10% by mass, more preferably at least 15% by mass. The upper limit of the water content is not particularly limited, but the water content is preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 20% by mass or more. If the water content exceeds 30% by mass, electric energy may decrease, so that it is not preferable. The polarity direction of each powder of the polar crystal is different in a state where no water is contained, whereas it is oriented in a certain direction in a state where more than 5% by mass of water is contained. It is considered that sufficient electromotive force is generated.
一般に、 極性結晶体を、 相対湿度が約 6 0〜7 0 %の大気中で粉碎して得られ る極性結晶体粉体は、 約 6 ~ 8質量％の水分を含有するので、 このようにして得 られた極性結晶体粉体を、 特に加水処理を実施することなく、 そのまま、 本発明 の鉱物電池の製造に用いることができる。 あるいは、 粉碎して得られた極性結晶 体粉体に、 適当量の水を加え、 充分に練り混ぜることにより、 より高い水分量を 伴う極性結晶体粉体を得ることができる。  Generally, the polar crystalline powder obtained by pulverizing the polar crystal in an atmosphere having a relative humidity of about 60 to 70% contains about 6 to 8% by mass of water. The polar crystalline powder obtained as described above can be used as it is in the production of the mineral battery of the present invention without any particular water treatment. Alternatively, a polar crystalline powder with a higher water content can be obtained by adding an appropriate amount of water to the polar crystalline powder obtained by pulverization and sufficiently kneading the mixture.
