Abstract
Description
先ず、排ガス浄化用触媒の多孔質隔壁の第1セル側の表面を、200倍の倍率で撮像して、グレイスケール画像を取得する。この撮像には、光学顕微鏡を使用する。また、この撮像は、多孔質隔壁の第1セル側の表面のうち、触媒塗布フィルタの長さ方向における中央付近の領域に対して行う。なお、この「長さ方向」は、第1及び第2セルの長さ方向と等しい。次いで、得られたグレイスケール画像を二値化して、二値化画像を取得する。そして、二値化画像における第1セル側表面の黒色部の各々の面積を求め、この面積と等しい面積を有する円の直径、即ち円相当径を、その黒色部に対応した細孔の「開口径」とする。ここでは、或る黒色部が他の黒色部から離間している限り、それがどのような形状を有していようと、その黒色部は1つの細孔に対応しているとする。なお、この画像処理には、画像処理ソフトウェア「ImageJ」を使用することができる。
触媒層の原料は、触媒金属と、任意に、多孔質担体及び助触媒の少なくとも一方とを含んでいる。触媒金属は、例えば、分散媒に溶解可能な金属化合物の形態で、又は、触媒金属を多孔質担体に担持させてなる担持触媒の形態でスラリーに含まれ得る。分散媒は、例えば、水などの水系溶媒である。
以上のようにして、上記態様の何れかに係る排ガス浄化用触媒、即ち、粉末付加触媒塗布フィルタが得られる。
この方法では、先ず、走査電子顕微鏡(SEM)又は透過電子顕微鏡(TEM)を用いて、多孔質隔壁Wの断面を撮像する。この断面は、多孔質隔壁Wの第1セルC1側の表面に垂直な断面、即ち、多孔質隔壁Wの厚さ方向に平行な断面である。
次に、このようにして取得した画像において、フィルタ基材21の隔壁211W(以下、隔壁部という)を特定する。そして、隔壁部において、空間部を特定する。ここでは、空間部CV1のように隔壁211Wの双方の表面から離間したものだけでなく、空間部CV2のように、隔壁211Wの少なくとも一方の表面で開口したものについても特定する。空間部内には、触媒層22や無機粒子3の一部が位置していてもよい。そして、これら空間部から1つを選択する。
次に、選択した空間部の面積を求め、この面積と同一の面積を有する円の直径、即ち、円相当径を算出する。そして、円相当径が5μm以下であるか否かを判断する。
この円相当径が5μm以下である場合は、先の空間部は1つの細孔に相当すると判断し、この円相当径をこの細孔の細孔径であると定める。そして、選択していない空間部がある場合は、未選択の空間部の1つを選択し、ステップS3へ戻る。選択していない空間部がない場合は、処理を終了する。
円相当径が5μm超である場合、上記の空間部は、2以上の細孔が連結したものに相当すると判断する。そして、この円相当径の50%まで円相当径が減少する位置で空間部を区分し、それによって生じた複数の領域間の境界を細孔の境界として定める。
具体的には、先ず、空間部に内接し且つ空間部を間に挟んで向き合った一対の壁面部の双方と接した多数の円を生成する。ここで、壁面部は、空間部と隔壁部との境界に相当する部分である。ここでは、隔壁211Wの一対の主面間に中心が位置した円のみを生成する。そして、これら円の中心を結ぶことにより、基準線を生成する。図4に示す例では、円の中心を結ぶことにより得られる基準線は、分岐した破線CLである。
次に、上記の円のうち、直径が最大の円を特定する(以下、基準円という)。図4の例では、円IC1を特定する。
続いて、基準円の中心から基準線に沿って中心が一方向(以下、第1方向という)に並んだ円について、基準円との中心間距離が短い円から順に直径を確認する。この確認は、直径が基準円の直径の50%である円が見出されるまで行う。
次いで、基準円の中心から基準線に沿って中心が逆方向(以下、第2方向という)に並んだ円について、基準円との中心間距離が短い円から順に直径を確認する。この確認は、直径が基準円の直径の50%である円が見出されるまで行う。
基準線が、サブステップSS4又はSS5において直径を確認した円の中心を結ぶ線に相当する部分の範囲内で分岐しているか判断する。
ステップS6では、ステップS5において境界が定められたか否かを判断する。
ステップS5において境界が1つも定められなかった場合には、先の空間部は1つの細孔であると判断し、この円相当径をこの細孔の細孔径であると定める。そして、選択していない空間部がある場合は、未選択の空間部の1つを選択し、ステップS3へ戻る。選択していない空間部がない場合は、処理を終了する。
ステップS5において1以上の境界が定められた場合、先の空間部を境界によって区分してなる複数の領域のうち、基準円の中心が位置したものを、1つの細孔であると判断し、その円相当径を、この細孔の細孔径であると定める。
