Definitions
- bismuth-containing glass compositions Disclosed are bismuth-containing glass compositions, glass fibers formed from the glass compositions, and applications of the same.
- typical glass compositions used for making glass fibers have liquidus temperatures of about 1800°F (about 982°C).
- the liquidus temperature of typical compositions used for making glass fibers limits the useful life of fiberization equipment due to the high temperatures at which the equipment must operate. This is especially true when a spinner disc is employed in the fiberization equipment.
- a glass composition having a relatively low liquidus temperature also is useful for reducing or preventing crystallization of the glass during the fiberization process.
- Glass fibers are used in a variety of applications. For example, glass fibers are used in several manners in batteries. Glass fibers are typically used as a separator that is preferably inserted between negative and positive plates of the battery.
- glass fibers are used as a part of a modified material mixed with a paste on the negative or positive plates of a battery. Further, glass fibers are used as a pasting paper that is applied to the surface of the plates to reduce the liberation of lead dust during manufacture.
- Glass fibers tend to become brittle in humid environments, leach favorable and unfavorable components, and are unstable in acidic and/or alkaline environments. These characteristics of certain glass fibers can limit their usefulness in applications such as battery separators or filters. Ion leaching, for example, is a glass fiber surface phenomenon. The amount of ions lost from a glass fiber is proportional to the exposed surface area. Surface area considerations are typically greatest for glass fibers having diameters of less than about 5-7 ⁇ m. In some glass fibers certain metal oxide impurities (e.g., platinum oxide, iron oxide) leach out of the fibers and have a detrimental effect on the life of the battery.

- Bismuth oxide may be used as part of a binary glass composition.
- bismuth oxide can be added to SiO 2 in a concentration up to about 40 mol %.
- Bi 2 O 3 forms glass with several other oxides as well, for example K 2 O.
- Bi 2 O 3 acts in a glass composition in a manner similar to B 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , La 2 O 3 or PbO, in that it decreases glass melting temperature, glass viscosity, and allows fiberization of the glass at lower temperatures.
- Bismuth oxide structural elements are incorporated into the glass matrix and act to strengthen the resulting glass structure, e.g., glass fibers.
- bismuth oxide acts to decrease the glass softening point and melting temperatures (as discussed below and shown in Table 8).

- the fiberization temperature i.e., the temperature at which the glass composition viscosity is about 1000 poise is also decreased in certain embodiments of the glass compositions.
- Particular glass composition embodiments exhibit a fiberization temperature of about equal to or lower than 2000° F (about 1093°C) and certain embodiments exhibit a fiberization temperature of about equal to or lower than from about 1800 to about 2050° F (from about 982° C to about 1120° C).
- Glass composition embodiments having from about 2 to 10 wt% Bi 2 O 3 decrease the fiberization temperatures of the glass compositions by about 50 °F to about 100°F (about 10°C to about 38°C).
- Glass compositions including the levels of Bi 2 O 3 indicated also improve the performance of glass fibers formed into hand sheets. Testing of such hand sheets indicates that certain embodiments of the glass fibers disclosed will produce superior battery separators or filter media. That is, such applications of the disclosed glass fibers are relatively easy to manufacture and have the tensile, elongation, basis weight, water wicking characteristics and other basic characteristics similar to or better than what is presently available with commercial fibers (such as EF M-glass illustrated in Tables 6 and 7 or JM 253 glass (available from, e.g., Johns Manville Corporation and illustrated in Table 6)).
- commercial fibers such as EF M-glass illustrated in Tables 6 and 7 or JM 253 glass (available from, e.g., Johns Manville Corporation and illustrated in Table 6)
- certain embodiments of the disclosed glass compositions do not compromise major media physical characteristics needed of glass fibers formed thereof but instead additionally provide enhanced performance due to particular enhanced or new glass properties, e.g., Bi ion leaching that decreases off gassing in battery applications.
- particular embodiments of the disclosed bismuth-containing glass compositions have increased devitrification resistance so that they do not become crystalline during the fiberization process.
- Glass compositions having Bi 2 O 3 in the disclosed ranges showed higher resistance to devitrification (see Table 7).
- Modified borosilicate glass, i.e., labeled as M-glass in the Table 7 is a man-made vitreous fiber as published by the Nomenclature Committee of TLMA Inc. 91, 93, incorporated herein by reference.
- This glass composition was used as a reference to determine effects of additions of Bi 2 O 3 and ZnO to a glass composition.
- the M- glass batch (mixture of all raw materials) was formed and then divided into three parts.
- a second glass composition was formed by adding further components including about 2 wt% ZnO and about 2 wt% Bi 2 O 3 and a third glass composition was formed by adding about 10 wt% Bi 2 O 3 , thereby forming two particular embodiments of the disclosed glass compositions.
- Bismuth ions in glass fibers formed from the disclosed glass compositions will also act to improve battery performance and increase battery life (as discussed below).
- the amount of bismuth desirable in the glass compositions is calculated so that leaching does not compromise the structural integrity of the resulting glass fibers over time.
- Glass fibers formed from glass compositions having from about 0.5 to about 30% bismuth oxide provide sufficient bismuth ion leaching such that the leaching does not compromise the structural integrity of the resulting glass fibers over time but sufficient ions are leached to limit or prevent hydrogen gassing in batteries.
- Glass fibers formed from alternative embodiments of the glass compositions including from about 1 to about 15% bismuth oxide also provide sufficient bismuth ion leaching such that the leaching does not compromise the structural integrity of the resulting glass fibers over time but sufficient ions are leached to limit or prevent hydrogen gassing. This is especially true in valve regulated (sealed) lead acid batteries. Hydrogen gassing causes water loss, which shortens battery life and reduces performance.
- ZnO also minimizes hydrogen gassing of NRLA batteries under float duty.
- Float duty is the low-rate charge used to maintain a battery in a fully charged condition in a standby application, as is known to those persons skilled in the art.
- ZnO in the glass compositions and resulting glass fibers formed therefrom also significantly improves water and acid durability of the glass fibers, significant for various glass fiber applications such as battery and filter uses.
- Some embodiments of the glass compositions and glass fibers may include O or other suitable ⁇ i ion sources.
- ⁇ i ions increase the charge acceptance of a negative plate of lead acid batteries.
- ⁇ i may increase gassing. This negative effect may be suppressed by addition of Bi, Zn and Ag ions to the glass compositions.

- SiO 2 is present at a weight % of from about 56% to about 69% and yet in other embodiments of the disclosed glass compositions SiO 2 is present at a weight % of from about 62% to about 70%.
- Alumina in a glass composition affects the glass water and acid durability.
- alumina may improve an embodiment of the disclosed glass fiber's performance in a humid atmosphere when used, for example, in filter applications.
- a relatively high alumina content can significantly decrease the Kdis (biological dissolution coefficient) of the glass fiber; making the glass less biodegradable.
- a useful alumina concentration may be from about 2% to about 4%.
- Calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) may be present in particular glass composition embodiments to further stabilize the glass network and provide the glass with particular advantageous structural properties. CaO acts to decrease the viscosity of the glass composition and MgO acts to further slow the crystallization rate. CaO and MgO increase glass fiber biological solubility.
- Particular embodiments of the disclosed glass compositions include these oxides in the advantageous ratio, CaO to MgO, of about 3:2 (i.e., a molar ratio of about 1:1).
- Other particular embodiments include the oxides in the following amounts: CaO at from about 3 wt % to about 6 wt % and MgO at from about 2 wt % to about 4 wt %.
- Certain embodiments of the glass compositions include sodium oxide (Na 2 O) and/or potassium oxide (K 2 O). These particular oxides may be present to aid in the decrease glass melting temperature, glass viscosity, and, respectively, to allow fiberization of the glass at lower temperatures. Addition of Na 2 O and K 2 O to some extent may aid in increases the glass durability in acids.
- both oxides may act to increase glass water and biological solubility.
- Embodiments of the glass compositions including both oxides may provide further advantages due to J the polyalkali effect (synergistic effect). Addition of K 2 O may also aid in the decrease of a glass composition's propensity to the crystallization.
- Certain embodiments of the glass compositions include boron oxide (B 2 O 3 ) to aid in the lowering of glass melting temperature, aid in the reduction of glass viscosity, and to enhance resulting glass fiber elasticity.
- boron oxide may be included in the glass composition to significantly increase glass fiber biosolubility without deterioration of glass durability in water and in acid.
- Particular embodiments of the glass compositions include from about 4 wt % to about 7 wt % boron oxide.
- Certain embodiments of the glass compositions include barium oxide (BaO) to aid in the moisture resistance of resulting glass fibers and may have a positive affect on biological degradability of the resulting glass fibers.
- Certain embodiments of the glass compositions include fluorine (F2) and lithium oxide (Li O) in relatively small amounts (for example, less that about 1 wt %) to aid in the decrease of the glass melting temperature, to improve melt fining, and to aid in the lowering of the glass viscosity.
- Li 2 O is present only as an impurity.
- Certain embodiments of the glass compositions include iron oxide in trace quantities since it is also normally introduced as an impurity in the SiO2, A12O3, CaO, and/or MgO batch materials.
- a typical content of iron in a glass composition is from about 0.05 wt % to about 0.1 wt %.
- Other typical impurities include SrO, and/or MnO.
- Glass composition embodiments may include such oxides in amounts less than about 0.1 wt %.
- the disclosed glass compositions include less than about 0.05 wt% TiO2 (from the total amount of glass) and CoO less than 0.01wt%. Both CoO and TiO2 have negative influence on battery operations. If glass fibers (or a glass composition) have a blue tint, it is typically due to Co leaching from the rotary disc and in such cases the resulting glass fibers /products are typically rejected.
- the disclosed glass compositions include less than about 0.05% ZrO 2 .
- glass compositions may include as much as 0.3-0.4 wt%. ZrO 2 , that particular component does not appear to have a negative impact on battery operations, but it does drastically change glass properties and thus most of the disclosed glass compositions include less than about 0.1 wt% ZrO 2 .
- One or more of the above-listed glass composition ingredients may have suitable substitutions as known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- Alternative compounds and oxides may include for example, rubidium oxide as a substitute for K 2 O.
- Another example may be the partial substitution of CaO with SrO or partial substitution of Al 2 O 3 with La 2 O .
- the glass compositions as disclosed herein may be made by methods known to those persons of ordinary skill in the art.
- an embodiment of the glass compositions disclosed herein may be prepared using chemical reagent-grade materials such as those listed in the tables above.
- the ingredients to form the desired glass compositions may be, e.g., added to a clay crucible and melted at about 1350°C or lower depending upon the exact glass composition being formed, with about a one hour dwell time at maximal temperatures.
- the melted glass composition may then be poured into steel molds in the shape of disks. Glass discs may then be annealed at about 600°C and then cooled to room temperature.
- embodiments of the glass compositions disclosed have surprisingly relatively low softemng points.
- Particular embodiments of the glass compositions have softening points of from about 1230°F to about 1256°F (from about 665.6°C to about 680°C).
- Particular embodiments of the glass compositions have glass softening points as shown in Table 7.
- an embodiment of the disclosed glass compositions having about 10 wt% Bi 2 O 3 ⁇ decreases the softening point of the glass to about 1267° F (see, e.g., Table 7, Composition 7).
- Softening points of the disclosed glass compositions are lower than the commercially available glass compositions as illustrated in Table 7 wherein examples of existing glass compositions labeled "M-glass” and "JM 253" have typical conventional glass composition softemng points, with M-glass having a softening point at about 1300°F (704°C) and JM 253 at about 1235°F (668°C). Because particular embodiments of the presently disclosed glass compositions have lower softening points, the disclosed glass compositions melt faster and require less energy to be melted and fiberized. Lower melting and fiberization temperatures promise savings in equipment due to lower wear of parts contacting melted glass and lower energy costs. Glass softening points were determined by the Littleton method (per ASTM C-388, incorporated herein by reference).
- Glass powder having a particle size in the range of from about 297 to about 590 ⁇ m was utilized to test certain of the glass compositions' properties. Because the process of making and testing glass microfibers is a long and expensive, before glass is fiberized. For screenings, the powder technique was used. Small amounts (e.g., about 1 pound) of particular glass compositions were melted and then cooled and crushed into a powder. Thus, there was a significant increase in the glass surface area. The testing included glass composition powders having particle sizes within a predetermined range. This method allows prediction of the fiber durability in different environments and solutions, namely acidic, neutral water, basic and in simulated lung fluid, eliminating time consuming and costly experimental glass fiberization processes.
- the glass compositions disclosed herein provide for lower fiberization temperatures.
- the fiberization temperatures of the disclosed glass compositions are from about 1800°F to about 2050°F (about 982°C to about 1120°C) or about 100°F (37.8°C) lower than commercially available glass compositions.
- Certain embodiments of the glass compositions disclosed herein provide relatively very low crystallization rates, an important technological property for glass fiberization.
- the crystallization rate is the speed of glass devitrification at specific temperatures or temperature ranges. Crystallization rates of particular embodiments of the glass compositions disclosed were evaluated by holding glass powder in a furnace at the following temperatures (in °C) for about two hour dwell periods: 1000, 950, 900, 875, 850, 825, 800, and 700. Results are shown in Table 7. As shown in Table 6, particular embodiments of the disclosed glass compositions have surprisingly superior water durability as compared with commercially available glass compositions.
- glass fibers formed of the disclosed glass compositions may be formed into, e.g., glass fibers using conventional methods and equipment.
- the glass compositions may be fiberized by rotary, CAT, and/or flame blown processes.
- Glass fibers as disclosed herein may be formed from any of the multitude of embodiments of the disclosed glass compositions.
- Embodiments of the disclosed glass fibers have many potential applications. They may be used, for example, in various manners and locations in batteries, to form filters designed for air and/or liquid filtration, and as insulation material, (e.g., electrical and/or thermal insulation).
- the desired glass fiber composition and size is determined based on the intended use for the glass fibers, as would be known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
- disclosed glass composition 2 may be formed into about 0.8/xm and 1.4 ⁇ m glass fibers
- Embodiments of the disclosed glass fibers typically exhibit a variety of advantageous properties. Such disclosed glass fibers have superior water and acid durability as indicated in Table 6 and superior tensile strength (hand sheets formed of such fibers showed tensile strength of about 4.3 and 3.3 pounds/inch, respectively). . Such characteristics make these disclosed glass fibers suitable both for battery separators and filtration media. Certain embodiments also have relatively low biopersistance, meaning that inhaled fibers will dissolve and be eliminated more readily in the lungs. The biopersistance factor, as known to those skilled in the art, is measured by the Kdis of the glass fibers in simulated lung fluid. Certain embodiments ofthe glass fibers achieve a Kdis of less than about 150 ng/cm 2 h and other embodiments may exhibit Kdis values in the range of from about 50 to about 150 ng/cm 2 h.
- Glass biosolubility has been tested on glass particles of size 75-106 ⁇ m made from disclosed glass composition embodiments 6 and 7 in Table 3.
- the particles passed through sieve 140 and remained on the sieve 200 were stored in vials with simulated lung fluid (SLF) for about 96 hours at about 37°C in a shaker.
- the dissolution rate was again determined based on the leachate analysis performed with an ICP.
- Leaching rates were compared based on the levels ofthe leached ions in solution. Results are shown in Table 9.
- An embodiment ofthe glass composition having 10 wt% Bi 2 O 3 doubled the glass biodissolution rate in simulated lung fluid. This indicates that a glass composition having Bi 2 O 3 provides an increase in biosolubility without compromising other desirable properties ofthe glass composition.
- certain embodiments ofthe disclosed glass fibers including the levels of Bi 2 O 3 indicated may also improve the performance of glass fibers formed therefrom because longer fibers can be produced. Certain embodiments ofthe glass fibers also show a significantly increased density as compared to equivalent glass fibers currently available. Accordingly, certain glass fiber products, such as glass fibers used in battery separators provide higher porosity rates in the separator because for the separator to have the same weight of glass fibers, less glass fibers are needed. The same would hold true for other glass fiber products such as filtration and insulation products where the weight ofthe fibers versus the amount of fibers needed is of concern. For example, certain embodiments ofthe disclosed glass fibers have density values from about 2.5 to about 2.8 g/cm as shown in Table 7. Table 7
- Glass fiber embodiments having such density values means that hand sheets made from the same size glass fibers formed from the disclosed glass compositions having varying bismuth oxide concentrations will exhibit different specific surface areas and different air resistant values. For example, density values of from about 2.50 to about 2.85 are obtainable with certain embodiments ofthe presently disclosed glass fibers when bismuth oxide concentrations ofthe glass fibers are from about 1 to about 15 wt%. Density values were obtained by use of a Micromeritics AccuPyc 1330 picnometer according to the method set forth in the Micromeritics manual.
- Embodiments ofthe glass fibers disclosed herein have specific surface areas (SSAs). Relatively low SSAs of certain glass fiber embodiments are important for glass fiber durability considerations.
- the larger SSA fibers' value the smaller the fiber diameter.
- Different applications require glass fibers of different diameters and respectively different SSA values.
- SSA and fiber diameter values are inversely dependent.
- the larger the SSA the smaller the diameter ofthe fiber and the stronger the fibers when subjected to ambient atmosphere attack (e.g., humidity, acid, etc.).
- SSA values are especially important for glass fiber products having glass fibers of relatively large specific surface areas as larger surface areas can detrimentally affect the product. For example, ion leaching is a glass fiber surface phenomenon.
- the amount of ions lost from a glass fiber is proportional to the exposed surface area.
- Surface area considerations are typically greatest for glass fibers having diameters of less than about 5-7 ⁇ m but the SSA values of larger or smaller diameter glass fibers is also of importance.
- Certain embodiments ofthe disclosed glass fibers have SSA values of from about 1.1 to about 1.2 g/m 3 for aboutl.4 ⁇ m diameter fibers and 1.95 to about 2.0 g/m 3 for about 0.8 ⁇ m diameter fibers.
- SSA values of certain embodiments ofthe disclosed glass fibers were determined as set forth in EFCTM 157: Specific Surface Area Analysis using Argon, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the apparatus used was a Micromeritics 2375 BET SSA analyzer.
- leaching of ions from glass fibers in various glass fiber products can be advantageous or detrimental to the product.
- leaching would be detrimental for a variety of reasons, such as disintegration ofthe fibers.
- Leaching ofthe glass fibers has a direct affect on the durability ofthe fibers.
- other considerations depend on the applications for which glass fibers are used.
- glass fibers used in battery separators preferably have low levels of leaching of certain metal oxide impurities (e.g., platinum oxide, iron oxide) that can have a detrimental effect on the life ofthe battery.
- glass fibers are typically determined by the leaching rate of the glass fibers in acid, neutral and alkaline conditions. Particular embodiments of the disclosed glass compositions in powder form were tested for leach rates in acidic environments. Leaching rates in acid were determined by analyzing leachates obtained by boiling 2.5 grams of glass fibers in 100 gmsH 2 SO 4 having a specific gravity of 1.26 g/cm 3 for three hours.
- the acid leaching test showed that the glass composition embodiments tested have leaching rate within the range of current commercial glass fibers "408” made from “M-glass” glass (available from Evanite Fiber Corporation of Corvallis, Oregon) and glass fibers "206" made from “253” glass (available from Johns Manville Company of Denver , Colorado). Leach rates ofthe embodiments ofthe disclosed glass compositions tested are closer to the Johns Manville glass fibers made out of "253 glass.” All ofthe tested glass composition embodiments have approximately the same acid resistance with a slightly higher value shown for composition numbers 2, 4 and 5 - the glass composition embodiments with ZnO and the glass compositions with the highest Bi 2 O 3 concentration.
- the tested glass composition embodiments illustrate that the resulting glass fibers have water durability performance values that are compatible with the commercially available fibers (i.e., in the range of 100 to 160 with weight losses below about 5 wt %). Water durability performance is better for glass compositions having higher ZnO and Bi 2 O content.
- Particular embodiments ofthe disclosed glass compositions in powder form were tested for leach rates in alkaline environments. Leaching rates in a base were determined by analyzing leachates obtained by holding about 2.5 grams of glass fibers in 100 ml of 30% KOH at 125°F for 3 hour. DI water (up to 250 ml) was added to the leachate.
- EFCTM 120 Extractable Metallic Impurities of Recombinant Battery Separator Mat (RBSM) and Glass Fibers. Alkalinity is tested per EFCTM 119, incorporated herein by reference. Such conditions compare are equivalent to 5 years in a battery. Leachates were tested per EFCTM 120.
- Samples ofthe resulting solution were subjected to inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) model Perkin Elmer Optima 4300 DN to determine the amount of each element present in the leachate.
- Final results shown in Tables 8 and 9 are averages of three sample tests per composition tested. Additional leachate tests results for specific embodiments are shown in Table 10.
- Increased glass fiber alkali resistance is beneficial for glass fibers used in a battery separator because during initial wrapping ofthe plates, the plates could be at a pH > 7.
- the density, or specific gravity of the acid electrolyte can approach that of water and result in alkaline conditions at plate.
- Sample IDs designating compositions 1-5 are those compositions shown in Table 3.
- the sample ID indicator "08" indicates a glass fiber diameter of 0.8 ⁇ m
- "12" indicates a glass fiber diameter of 1.4 ⁇ m.
- the element concentrations are in ppm.
- a glass composition having about 10 wt% of Bi O 3 has a decreased glass chemical durability (10-20%) in acid (1.26 g/cm 3 H2SO4), improved glass durability in water, and significantly increased alkali resistance.
- the glass leaching rate of composition 7 in 0.5 ⁇ aOH + 0.5 ⁇ a 2 CO 3 dropped almost three times (see Table 9).
- the same phenomenon was not shown in concentrated KOH (30%) for glass fibers made out of compositions 1-5.
- the 30% KOH solution appeared equally destructive for all compositions tested.
- Addition of 2% of Bi 2 O 3 and 2% ZnO did not significantly change the glass properties. However, such a composition would be very efficient for battery separators due to fact that it contains both ZnO and Bi 2 O .
- composition 6 For all three compositions prepared the same batch, then to composition 6 added 2 wt% of ZnO and 2 wt% B1 2 O 3 (% from initial batch weight). For composition 7 added additional 10 wt% of B1 2 O3. Glasses melted at maximal temperature 1350°C with dwell time 1 hour at maximal temperature.
- the disclosed glass compositions and fibers can be used in many applications.
- the glass fibers are used in battery separators.
- Battery separators may be used in various batteries, such as lead-acid batteries.
- Lead acid batteries include a plurality of electrode plates. The plates are arranged to establish alternating positive and negative electrodes.
- a battery separator may be disposed between each pair of electrodes.
- the separators may be formed of insulating material and are used, in part, to prevent metallic deposits in the battery from forming short circuits between the electrode plates.
- the separator is porous, however, to the battery electrolyte so that current can pass from one plate to another. Particular examples of battery separators and methods of making and using them are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.
- glass fibers made from the disclosed glass compositions are used to form the battery separator.
- the glass fibers may be used to form what is commonly known as an absorptive glass mat separator, which typically is comprised of glass fibers of varying length and diameter.
- the battery separator comprises a mat formed ofthe disclosed glass fibers that is impregnated with a binder that is an aqueous mixture of colloidal silica particles and a sulfate salt as described in U.S. Patent No.
- the separator can be made by forming the glass mat on a conventional paper making machine (such as a Fourdrinier machine) and then exposing the mat to the binder in an impregnating bath of an aqueous mixture of the binder, followed by drying of the mat and compression to the desired separator thickness.
- a conventional paper making machine such as a Fourdrinier machine
