独立気孔型の多孔質セラミックス焼結体としては、焼成工程において、組成物中の高温分解揮発成分により気孔を生成させたものが知られている。

また、連続貫通気孔を有する多孔質セラミックス焼結体としては、含水組成物内に、金属アルミニウムにアルカリ溶液を加えて水素を発生させ、これを焼結して得られるものが知られている。
緑化基盤材料として用いられる多孔質セラミックス焼結体として、例えば、原料として珪藻土を用い、珪藻土の成形体を焼結したものが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1)。この多孔質セラミックス焼結体は、珪藻土由来のマクロ気孔と、人工的に生成されたミリメートルサイズのトンネル構造孔隙とが相互に連結された二元構造を有するため、水が浸透しやすくかつ保水性が良好である。
そこで、本発明は、植物の生育に適し、かつ冷却効果の高い多孔質セラミックス焼結体を目的とする。
直径3nm~360μmの細孔におけるメジアン細孔直径が40μm未満であることが好ましく、かさ比重が0.7g/cm3以上である層状の稠密層を有することが好ましく、かさ比重が0.7g/cm3未満である非稠密層を有することが好ましく、前記非稠密層は、前記稠密層の両面に設けられていることがより好ましく、緑化基盤材料であってもよい。
本発明の一実施形態である板状の多孔質セラミックス焼結体(以下、板状セラミックスということがある)について、以下に図面を用いて説明する。図1は、本発明の一実施形態にかかる板状セラミックス1の断面図である。
図1に示すように板状セラミックス1は、稠密層10と、稠密層10の一方の面に設けられた第一の非稠密層20と、稠密層10の他方の面に設けられた第二の非稠密層30とで概略構成されている。即ち、板状セラミックス1は、稠密層10と、第一の非稠密層20と、第二の非稠密層30とからなる3層構造を有する。
第一の非稠密層20の面である第一の面22には、第一の非稠密層20に形成された気孔が露出した開口部が形成され、第二の非稠密層30の面である第二の面32には、第二の非稠密層30に形成された気孔が露出した開口部が形成されている。
板状セラミックス1の厚みT1は、用途に応じて決定でき、例えば、0.5~15cmの範囲で決定できる。より好ましくは、1.5~10cmの範囲で決定できる。
稠密層10は、直径3nm~360μmの細孔(以下、単に細孔ということがある)が形成された層である。
稠密層10には、図2(a)に示すように、直径360μm超の気孔である孔隙12が2以上形成されていると共に、図2(b)に示すように、細孔14が2以上形成されている。
稠密層10に形成されている細孔14又は孔隙12は、相互に連通した連通孔を形成している。連通孔が形成されることで、保水性、拡散性、及び冷却効果の向上が図れる。
細孔容積は、JIS R1655-2003に準拠し、計測される値である。
微細孔容積は、細孔容積と同様の方法で測定される値である。
40μm未満であれば、保水性に優れ、長期間、セラミック焼結体から水を蒸散し続けることができる。
また、10nm未満となると保水性が低下し、長期間、セラミック焼結体から十分な量の水を蒸散し続けることができなくなるおそれがある。
第一の非稠密層20は、細孔が形成された層である。図1に示すように、第一の非稠密層20には、2以上の孔隙24と、図示されない2以上の細孔とが形成され、孔隙24と細孔とが相互に連通した連通孔が形成されている。
本実施形態において、第一の非稠密層20における体積比細孔容積は、稠密層10における体積比細孔容積よりも小さいものとされている。第一の非稠密層20における体積比細孔容積を稠密層10における体積比細孔容積よりも小さいものとすることで、板状セラミックス1の強度を十分なものとしつつ、保水性、拡散性の向上が図れる。
第一の非稠密層20の微細孔容積は、用途等を勘案して決定でき、例えば、0.1cm3/g以上が好ましく、0.12~0.8cm3/gがより好ましく、0.14~0.4cm3/gがさらに好ましい。上記下限値未満であると、拡散性が低下するおそれがあり、上記上限値超であると、水が蒸散しにくくなって冷却効果が低下するおそれがある。
40μm未満であれば、保水性に優れ、長期間、セラミック焼結体から水を蒸散し続けることができる。
また、10nm未満となると保水性が低下し、長期間、セラミック焼結体から十分な量の水を蒸散し続けることができなくなるおそれがある。
本実施形態において、第一の非稠密層20の気孔率は、稠密層10の気孔率より大きいものとされている。稠密層10の気孔率より大きいことで、板状セラミックス1の断熱性や防音性のさらなる向上が図れる。
第二の非稠密層30は、細孔が形成された層である。図1に示すように、第二の非稠密層30には、2以上の孔隙34と、図示されない2以上の細孔とが形成され、孔隙34と細孔とが相互に連通した連通孔が形成されている。
第二の非稠密層30の微細孔容積は、第一の非稠密層20の微細孔容積と同様であり、第二の非稠密層30の微細孔割合は、第一の非稠密層20の微細孔割合と同様である。
第二の非稠密層30の直径3nm~360μmの細孔におけるメジアン細孔直径は、第一の非稠密層20の直径3nm~360μmの細孔におけるメジアン細孔直径と同様である。
第二の非稠密層30のかさ比重は、第一の非稠密層20のかさ比重と同様であり、第二の非稠密層30の気孔率は、第一の非稠密層20の気孔率と同様である。
第二の非稠密層30の厚みt3は、第一の非稠密層20の厚みt2と同様である。
板状セラミックス1の製造方法は、原料を混合して混合物を得る混合工程と、前記混合物を成形し成形体を得る成形工程と、前記成形体を焼成する焼成工程とを有する。
混合工程は、珪藻土、粘土類、有機汚泥及びスラグを混合し、混合物を得る工程である。このような配合とすることで珪藻土に形成された細孔と、有機汚泥が焼結時に減量して形成された細孔とを有する板状セラミックスを得られる。
本発明に用いられる珪藻土は、珪藻の遺骸からなる堆積物であり、マイクロメートルオーダーの気孔を有する多孔質である。
珪藻土は、特に限定されず、従来、耐火断煉瓦、及び濾過材等に使用されていたものと同様のものを用いることができる。例えば、狭雑している粘土鉱物(モンモリロナイト等)、石英、及び長石等を分別精製する必要はなく、これらの含有率を認識した上で、混合物への配合量を調整することができる。
珪藻土の含水率は特に限定されず、例えば、自然乾燥状態での含水率が20~60質量%が好ましく、30~50質量%が好ましく、35~45質量%がさらに好ましい。上記範囲内であれば、含水率を認識しながら、混合の際に狭雑物中の粗粒子分を除去して使用することで、成形性が良好な混合物を得られるためである。
含水率は、乾燥減量方式である下記仕様の赤外線水分計を用い試料を乾燥(200℃、12分間)し、下記(2)式により求めた値である。
測定方式:乾燥減量法(加熱乾燥・質量測定方式)
最小表示:含水率;0.1質量%
測定範囲:含水率;0.0~100質量%
乾燥温度:0~200℃
測定精度:試料質量5g以上で、含水率±0.1質量%
熱源:赤外線ランプ;185W
m1:乾燥前の容器の質量と乾燥前の試料の質量との合計質量(g)
m2:乾燥後の容器の質量と乾燥後の試料の質量との合計質量(g)
m0:乾燥後の容器の質量(g)
本発明における粘土類は、一般的に窯業原料として用いられる粘土状の性状を示す鉱物材料であり、珪藻土以外のものである。粘土類は、セラミックス焼結体に用いられる公知のものを用いることができ、石英、長石、及び粘土系等の鉱物組成で構成され、構成鉱物はカオリナイトを主とし、ハロイサイト、モンモリロナイト、又はイライトを含むものが好ましい。中でも、焼結時のクラックの進展を抑え、板状セラミックス1の破壊を防ぐ観点から粒子径が500μm以上の石英の粗粒を含むものがより好ましい。前記石英の粗粒は、粒子径が5mm以下であることが好ましい。このような粘土類としては、例えば、蛙目粘土等が挙げられる。粘土類は、1種単独で又は2種以上を適宜組み合わせて配合できる。
上記範囲内であれば混合物の成形性を損なわず、かつ円滑に成形できると共に、板状セラミックス1の強度を十分なものにできる。
有機汚泥は、主成分として有機物を含有する汚泥である。有機汚泥は、任意のものを用いることができ、下水や工場等の排水処理に由来する活性汚泥が特に好ましい。活性汚泥は、活性汚泥法を用いた排水処理設備から、凝集及び脱水工程を経て排出される。このような有機汚泥を用いることで、細孔または微細孔を形成できる。さらに、廃棄物の位置付けであった排水処理由来の活性汚泥を原料として再度利用することができる。
スラグは、特に限定されず、例えば、金属精錬時に発生する高炉スラグ、都市ゴミの溶融時に発生する都市ゴミ溶融スラグ、下水汚泥の溶融時に発生する下水汚泥溶融スラグ、及びダクタイル鋳鉄等の鋳鉄時に発生する鋳鉄スラグ等のガラス質スラグ等が挙げられ、中でも、組成が安定しているため安定した発泡状態が得られると共に、他のスラグに比べ1.5~2倍程度の発泡率である鋳鉄スラグがより好ましい。スラグを配合することで、孔隙12、24及び34を形成し、透水係数(水を通す速度)の低下を抑制できる。
混合物には、本発明の目的を阻害しない範囲で、任意成分を配合してもよい。任意成分としては、例えば、マイティ2000WH(商品名、花王株式会社製)等のナフタリン系の流動化剤、メルメントF-10(商品名、昭和電工株式会社製)等のメラミン系の流動化剤、ダーレックススーパー100pH(商品名、グレースケミカルズ株式会社製)等のポリカルボン酸系の流動化剤等、銀、銅、及び亜鉛等の抗菌剤、ゼオライト、及びアパタイト等の吸着剤、並びに金属アルミニウム等が挙げられる。
加えて、混合工程において、有機汚泥が好適な配合比で配合されている場合には、有機汚泥に含まれる水により混合工程にて水を添加しなくてもよいし、混合物の流動性の調整等を目的として、適宜、水を配合してもよい。
第二の混合操作では、珪藻土をさらに添加してもよい。
例えば、混合装置としては、ミックスマラー(東新工業株式会社製)等の混練機や、ニーダー(株式会社モリヤマ製)、及び混合機(日陶科学株式会社製)等が挙げられる。
成形工程は、混合工程で得られた混合物を任意の形状に成形する工程である。
成形方法は、公知の成形方法を用いることができ、混合物の性状や多孔質セラミックス焼結体の形状を勘案して決定することができる。成形方法は、例えば、成形機を用いて、任意の板状の成形体を得る方法、混合物を任意の形状の型に充填し成形体を得る方法、あるいは、混合物を延伸又は圧延した後、任意の寸法に切断する方法等が挙げられる。
成形機としては、真空土練成形機、平板プレス成形機、及び平板押出し成形機等が挙げられ、中でも、真空土練成形機が好ましい。真空土練成形機を用いて成形体中の空気を除去することで、稠密層10の微細孔割合を制御できる。
焼成工程は、成形工程で得られた成形体を乾燥し(乾燥操作)、乾燥した成形体を焼成し(焼成操作)、珪藻土及び粘土類等を焼結して多孔質セラミックス焼結体を得る工程である。
乾燥操作は、特に限定されず、公知の方法を用いることができる。例えば、成形体を自然乾燥してもよいし、50~220℃の熱風乾燥炉で任意の時間処理することで乾燥してもよい。乾燥の成形体の含水率は、特に限定されないが、例えば、5質量%未満が好ましく、1質量%未満がより好ましい。乾燥の成形体の含水率は、下限値として0質量%であってもよい。
焼成の方法は特に限定されず、公知の方法を用いることができる。例えば、ローラーハースキルン等の連続式焼結炉、及びシャトルキルン等の回分式焼結炉を用い、任意の温度で焼成する方法が挙げられる。中でも、焼成には、生産性の観点から連続式焼結炉を用いることが好ましい。
焼成温度が1200℃を超えると、多孔質セラミッス焼結体の組織全体のガラス化が進み、成形体が破損したり、細孔又は孔隙が閉塞したりするおそれがある。
温度勾配は、連続式焼結炉を均等な距離の10のゾーンに区分し、連続式焼結炉の温度勾配を入口側より0.4~0.6℃/sec.、0.1~0.2℃/sec.、0.3~0.4℃/sec.、0.4~0.6℃/sec.、0.7~1.0℃/sec.、0.004~0.005℃/sec.、-0.4~-0.2℃/sec.、-0.8~-0.5℃/sec.、-0.4~-0.3℃/sec.、及び-0.3~-0.1℃/sec.とすることが好ましい。
板状セラミックス1はグラインダー等で表面を削ってもよい。板状セラミックス1は表面を削ることで、吸水速度を向上させる。また、板状セラミックス1を緑化基盤材料等に用いる場合には、板状セラミックス1の表面を削ることで、植物の根が板状セラミックス1の中に入り込みやすくなり、植物の枯死を防ぎ、植物の成長を促進させる。
このように、本実施形態の板状セラミックスは、保水性及び拡散性に優れるため植物の生育に適すると共に、保水した水を長期にわたって蒸散するため冷却効果が高いものである。
有機汚泥は、粘土類に比べて流動性が高いため、混合工程では優先的に珪藻土の気孔に進入すると推測される。有機汚泥が充填された珪藻土の気孔では、焼結時に有機汚泥の有機物が揮発し、珪藻土の気孔が維持されると考えられる。加えて、有機汚泥を含有する成形体を焼成することで、有機汚泥の有機物の揮発により板状セラミックスに多くの細孔が成形され、さらには連通孔が形成される。さらに、混合工程は、第一の混合操作と第二の混合操作とを有することにより、珪藻土の気孔への粘土類の進入を効果的に防止し、細孔の形成を容易にする。
上述の実施形態では、多孔質セラミックス焼結体が板状とされているが、本発明は細孔容積0.2cm3/g以上、微細孔割合が30体積%以上であればよく、多孔質セラミックス焼結体の形状を用途に応じて選択できる。例えば、多孔質セラミックス焼結体の形状は、植木鉢の形状とされていてもよいし、ペレット状であってもよいし、板状セラミックスを1~50mm角程度に粉砕した顆粒状であってもよい。また、あらかじめ、1~50mm角程度の顆粒状に焼結したものであってもよい。顆粒状のものは、そのまま、又は壁材や路面材に用いられるブロックやタイルの原料としても用いることができ、保水、拡散、冷水、断熱、及び遮音性などに優れる建築又は土木材料が得られる。
また、上述の実施形態では、非稠密層に孔隙が形成されているが、本発明はこれに限定されず、非稠密層に孔隙が形成されていなくてもよい。
孔隙が形成されていない稠密層又は非稠密層は、成形体にスラグを配合しないことにより得ることができる。

表1の混合物の組成に従い、有機汚泥と珪藻土とをミックスマラー(東新工業株式会社製)で混合し一次混合物を得(第一の混合操作)、一次混合物に粘土類とスラグとを添加し、さらに混合し、可塑状態の混合物を得た(第二の混合操作)。得られた混合物を真空土練成形機(高浜工業株式会社製)で成形し、幅60cm、厚み2cmの帯状の一次成形体を得た。この一次成形体を任意のピッチと幅で切断し、厚み2cmの略正方形の平板状の成形体を得た(成形工程)。
得られた成形体を熱風乾燥機で乾燥(180℃、0.5時間)し、含水率1質量%以下とした後、連続式焼結炉を用いて、表1に示す焼成条件にて焼成した。焼成後、板状セラミックスの4つの側面に沿って、側端を切除し、幅50cm×長さ50cm×厚み4cmの板状セラミックス(Aサイズ)と、幅25cm×長さ25cm×厚み4cmの板状セラミックス(Bサイズ)と、幅16.7cm×長さ16.7cm×厚み4cmの板状セラミックス(Cサイズ)とを得た(焼成工程)。得られた板状セラミックスは、前記正方形の両平板面において構造上差異はなく、どちらの面を表面又は裏面として使用することもできる。得られた板状セラミックスをグラインダーで削った面を表面、削らない面を裏面とした。得られた板状セラミックスは、グラインダーで表面のみを1mm程度削って、裏面は削らずに用いた。
得られた板状セラミックスの稠密層及び第一の非稠密層について、それぞれの細孔容積、体積比細孔容積、微細孔容積、微細孔割合、かさ比重、及び気孔率を求めると共に、板状セラミックスの曲げ強度、飽和含水率、pF値別水分量、及び熱伝導率を測定した。
また、得られた板状セラミックスの断面は、図1に示すものであった。
連続式焼結炉としては、ローラーハースキルン(焼結炉の有効長:全長15m、焼結炉を各1.5mのゾーン1~10に分割)を用いた。
表1の混合物の組成に従い、珪藻土と粘土類とスラグとをミックスマラーで混合し混合物を得た(混合工程)。得られた混合物を実施例1と同様にして成形体を得、焼成して、A~Cサイズの板状セラミックスを得た。得られた板状セラミックスは、実施例1と同様に、グラインダーで表面のみを1mm程度削って、裏面は削らずに用いた。
得られた板状セラミックスについて、実施例1と同様に細孔容積、体積比細孔容積、微細孔容積、微細孔割合、かさ比重、気孔率を求め、その結果を表1に示す。また、得られた板状セラミックスの断面写真を図3に示す。
<かさ比重>
各層の試験片の外形寸法をノギスにより測定し体積を求めた。同試験片を絶乾状態にし、電子天秤にて質量を測定(絶乾状態質量)し、下記(4)式により比重を算出した。各例の試料(N)数はN=10とした。
気孔率は、JIS R2614-1985に準拠し、下記(5)式により求めた。真比重は、試験片を粉砕し、気孔をなくした状態で測定した比重である。
各例の板状セラミックス(Aサイズ)を厚さ方向に切断し、稠密層、第一の非稠密層及び第二の非稠密層の各層を幅15mm×長さ40mm×厚み7mmに切り出し、試験片とした。この試験片について、JIS R1655に準拠し、下記測定条件で細孔の容積及びメジアン細孔直径を測定した。測定結果のチャートから、細孔容積、微細孔容積、及び微細孔割合を算出した。
使用装置:オートポア9420(マイクロメリティックス社製)
使用水銀:再生水銀
水銀表面張力:485dynes/cm(0.485N/m)
水銀接触角:130°
測定圧力:0.5~60000psia(0.003~414MPa)
以上の結果を下記(6)式に当てはめ、微細孔容積を求めた。求めた微細孔容積と細孔容積とから微細孔割合を求めた。
第一の非稠密層の測定結果を図5に示し、比較例1の測定結果を図6に示す。
体積比細孔容積は、下記(7)式により求めた。
JIS R5201に準拠して測定した。
比重を測定したサンプル(N=10)を水に60分間浸漬した後、前記表面を上に向けて、水からサンプルを傾けずに取り出し、質量を測定(飽和状態質量)し、下記(8)式により求めた。前記表面を上に向けて、水からサンプルを傾けずに取り出したことにより、サンプルから水が流れ出すことを防ぐことができる。
各例の板状セラミックス(Aサイズ)について、中央部及び四角の近傍部を直径42mm×厚み40mmの略円柱形にくり抜き、飽和含水状態にしたものを試料柱(5個)とし、この試料柱を専用のロータ治具に装着した。遠心分離機(型式:50B-5、株式会社佐久間製作所製)に装着されたロータ(土壌用pF測定用15B-R8)に、試料柱が装着されたロータ治具を装着し、650rpm、30分間で遠心処理をした。この際、試料柱から分離された水量をpF値1.5以下の水分量とした。
次いで、試料柱を1540rpm、30分間遠心処理し、試料柱から分離された水量をpF値1.5超2.7以下の水分量とし、試料柱に残存した水量をpF値2.7超の水分量とした。
試料柱5個の乾燥時の平均質量は46.4g、試料柱(飽和含水状態)5個の平均質量は73.8g、試料柱5個のpF値1.5以下の水分量の平均値は16.5g、試料柱5個のpF値1.5超2.7以下の水分量の平均値は3.4g、試料柱5個のpF値2.7超の水分量は7.5gであった。
JIS A1412-2-1999に準拠し、試験体を長さ、幅、及び厚さ方向にスライスし、長さ20cm×幅20cm×厚み21.6mmとして測定した。その結果、熱流密度:45.7W/m2、高温側の温度:26.1℃、低温側の温度:16.8℃、試験体平均温度:21.5℃、熱抵抗:17.5(m2・K)/W、及び熱伝導率:0.123W/(m・K)であった。
一方、図3に示すように、比較例1の板状セラミックスは、単層構造であり、孔隙、特にミリメートルオーダーの巨大な孔隙が断面全体に見られるものであった。また、比較例1の板状セラミックスは、微細孔割合が、26体積%であった。
図7に示すように、実施例1の板状セラミックス(Bサイズ)100を4枚並べて試験床101とした。この試験床101の頂部102の近傍の位置Pに、チューブ120により水4000cm3を注水(供給速度:50cm3/min.、80分間)した。注水は、板状セラミックスの前記表面に行った。
注水開始から注水終了までの間、試験床101からの水の漏洩は見られなかった。また、注水した水は、試験床101全体に浸透していた。
この結果から、本発明を適用した板状セラミックスは、水平方向への拡散性に優れることが判った。
図8Aに示すように、実施例1の板状セラミックス(Cサイズ)110を9枚並べて試験床112とした。図8Bに示すように、この試験床112を、第一の辺114から第一の辺114に対向する第二の辺116へ向かって下がるように、水平面に対する傾斜角度θ=15°として設置した。第一の辺114の近傍の位置Qに、チューブ120により水4000cm3を注水(供給速度:50cm3/min.、80分間)した。注水は、板状セラミックスの前記表面に行った。注水開始から注水終了までの間、試験床112からの水の漏洩は見られなかった。また、注水した水は、試験床112全体に浸透していた。
この結果から、本発明を適用した板状セラミックスは、15°に傾斜させても水平方向への拡散性に優れることが判った。
実施例1の板状セラミックス(Aサイズ、乾燥質量:6.9kg)を飽和含水状態とし、板状セラミックスの前記表面上に緑化用人工土壌を1cm厚に敷き、セダム類を植栽して緑化基盤(kg)とした。この緑化基盤を2つ(緑化基盤A、B)用意し無灌水で保管し、セダムの生育状況を観察すると共に、毎日午前10時に緑化基盤の質量を測定した。質量測定の結果を図9に示す。
本試験に用いた緑化用人工土壌は、ヤシ殻熟成堆肥:50質量%、バーミキュライト:20質量%、鹿沼土(細粒):20質量%、ビートモス:10質量%、ユニミックスプラスII:750g/m3、及びマグアンプIIIBB-SS:1kg/m3の混合物である。
以下、実験例4-1~実験例4-2については、実施例1で得られる板状セラミックスの表面及び裏面を削らずに用いた。
<実験例4-1>
前記板状セラミックス(Aサイズ、乾燥質量:9.6kg)の前記表面に、2.64kgの水を灌水したものを試料とした。この試料を屋外に設置し、試料の質量推移を2日間にわたり測定した。灌水は、午前5時に行い、1時間毎に試料の質量を測定し、1時間毎の試料の質量の減少量を求めた。図10Aに、1日目の試料の質量の減少量の推移を示す。さらに、2日目の午前5時に2.64kgの水を試料に灌水した後、1時間毎に試料の質量を測定し、1時間毎の試料の質量の減少量を求めた。図10Bに、2日目の試料の質量の減少量の推移を示す。
板状セラミックス単体に換え、前記板状セラミックス(Aサイズ)の前記表面上に緑化用人工土壌を1cm厚で敷き、セダム類を植設したものを試料とした以外は、実験例4-1と同様にして、試料の質量の減少量を求めた。その結果を図10A及びBに示す。
前記板状セラミックスを用いずに、緑化用人工土壌を80mm厚で敷き試料とした以外は、実験例4-1と同様にして、試料の質量の減少量を求めた。その結果を図10A及びBに示す。
前記板状セラミックスを用いずに、緑化用人工土壌を80mm厚で敷き、その上に高麗芝を植栽し試料とした以外は、実験例4-1と同様にして、試料の質量の減少量を求めた。その結果を図10A及びBに示す。
図10A及びBに示すように、板状セラミックスのみの実験例4-1、及び板状セラミックスにセダム類を植栽した実験例4-2は、高麗芝を植栽した実験例4-4よりも、単位時間当たりの水の蒸散量が多かった。また、実験例4-1及び4-2は、緑化人工土壌を用いた実験例4-3よりも、単位時間当たりの水の蒸散量が少なかった。
これらの結果から、実験例4-1及び4-2は、実験例4-3より水の蒸散が長期に維持され、かつ実験例4-4よりも水の蒸散による冷却効果が高いものと推測できる。
