本発明におけるポリカーボネート樹脂の粉粒体は、界面重合法により生成される。
具体的には、ポリカーボネート樹脂は、芳香族ジヒドロキシ化合物又はこれと少量のポリヒドロキシ化合物と、一般にホスゲンとして知られている塩化カルボニル、又は、ジメチルカーボネートやジフェニルカーボネートに代表される炭酸ジエステル、一酸化炭素や二酸化炭素と云ったカルボニル系化合物とを、反応させることによって得られる。本発明におけるポリカーボネート樹脂は、直鎖状、又は本発明の効果が失われない範囲で分岐していても良い熱可塑性芳香族ポリカーボネートの重合体、又は共重合体である。
ビス-(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)メタン、ビス-(4-ヒドロキシ-5-ニトロフェニル)メタン、1,1-ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)エタン、3,3-ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)ペンタン、1,1-ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)シクロヘキサン、ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)スルホン、2,4’-ジヒドロキシジフェニルスルホン、ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)スルフィド、4,4’-ジヒドロキシジフェニルエーテル、4,4’-ジヒドロキシ-3,3’-ジクロロジフェニルエーテル、4,4’-ジヒドロキシ-2,5-ジエトキシジフェニルエーテル、1-フェニル-1,1-ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)エタン、1,1-ビス(4-ヒドロキシ-3-メチルフェニル)シクロヘキサン、1-フェニル-1,1-ビス(4-ヒドロキシ-3-メチルフェニル)エタン等を挙げることができるが、好ましくは、ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)アルカン類であり、特に好ましくは、2,2-ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)プロパン[ビスフェノールAと呼ばれる]である。これらの芳香族ジヒドロキシ化合物は、単独で、又は、2種以上を混合して使用することができる。
本発明では、粒体選別工程において、ポリカーボネート樹脂の粉粒体から、微粉、すなわち、粉粒体に含まれる他の粒体よりも粒径の小さい微粉を除去して選別粒体を得る。選別粒体は、所定の基準粒径以上の粒径を有する粒体を所定の基準含有量以上含有しており、例えば、200μm以上の粒径を有する粒体を90重量%以上含有する。選別粒体の基準粒径と基準含有量は、使用する粉粒体の粒径分布、および色相等に応じて適宜選択される。例えば、基準粒径は、100μm、200μm、500μm、1000μm等であり、基準含有量は、80重量%、90重量%、95重量%、97重量%等である。
所定の大きさの目開きを有するふるいにより粉粒体をふるい、微粉を除去することができる。このようなふるいとして、例えば、金属網または樹脂網のJIS標準ふるい(JIS Z 8801-1)などが使用できる。ただし、JIS規格に準じないふるいを使用しても良い。また、ふるい(網)を備えた分級装置を利用しても良い。この場合、ふるいを振動させること等により、粉粒体から効率的に微粉を除去することができる。
送風機能を有する風力選別機を用いて、送風により粉粒体を浮遊させた状態で、微粉を除去しても良い。風力選別機では、例えば、筒の下方に設置した送風機(送風手段)により筒内に上方に向かう風を発生させつつ、粉粒体を浮遊させる。このとき、微粉は風力により飛ばされて筒を通過し、筒に連結された拡散室に達するのに対し、微粉よりも粒径が大きく重い粉体は、一時的に浮遊したとしても重力により筒内を落下する。この結果、微粉と、より粒径の大きい選別粒体とを分離し、選別粒体を得ることができる。
また、風力選別機の構造はこれに限られない。例えば、機内の上方に設置した排風機により系内を減圧させ、微粉を減圧系内に移動させつつ、選別粒体を落下させても良い。また、拡散室を有する送風路に粉粒体を供給し、微粉を浮遊させて拡散室に送るとともに、選別粒体を、粉粒体の供給口付近で落下させても良い。なお、部分的に自然風を活用しても良い。

測定条件は、励起側サンプリング間隔は10nm、励起側スリット間隔は1nm、蛍光側サンプリング間隔は5nm、蛍光側スリット間隔は2.5nm、スキャンスピードは240nm/min、PMT電圧は950V、レスポンスは0.004秒、スペクトル補正On、シャッタ制御Onであった。また、励起光の波長は290nmであった。
蛍光発光スペクトルの測定は室温で行った。
分析試料が発する蛍光の波長は可視光領域であることが一般的であるため、蛍光検出分析基板の自家蛍光がこの領域で著しく小さいことが有効である。ポリカーボネート製蛍光検出分析基板では素材にポリカーボネートを使用しているため、ポリカーボネートの構造に由来する蛍光発光がおよそ310nm付近に見られる。本願発明者らの検討によると可視光領域で発光する蛍光の原因は成形加工などの過程において与える熱によって生じた種々の分岐構造であることを見出し、前述の310nm付近の蛍光強度が減少し、代わりに310nmより長波長側の330~410nm付近の可視光領域にかかる波長の蛍光強度が著しく増加することが判明した。
|{F(310)-F(450)}/{F(400)-F(450)}|≧40
式(1)(式(1)中、F(310)、F(400)、F(450)は、それぞれ、波長310nm、400nm、450nmの蛍光発光強度の相対値である。)
