以下、本発明のインヒビターの実施形態の他の一例について説明する。

本発明の黒鉛電極用ニードルコークスは、本発明の実施形態の一つ以上のインヒビターとニードルコークスを含有する組成物を含む。
本発明の組成物は、本発明の実施形態の一つ以上のインヒビターとニードルコークスを含有するものであれば特に限定されない。インヒビターの添加量を低減しつつパッフィング抑制効果を増大させることできることから、本発明の実施形態の一つ以上のインヒビターがニードルコークスの表面に直接付着した組成物であることが好ましい。
以下、本発明に用いるニードルコークスについてさらに詳述する。
本発明に用いるニードルコークスとしては、特に限定されないが、硫黄分及び窒素分の含有割合が低いため、熱膨張係数が小さく、且つパッフィングが十分に抑制されやすいことから、ピッチ系ニードルコークスが好ましい。ピッチ系ニードルコークスは、電炉製鋼用黒鉛電極の骨材として好適に使用することができる。ピッチ系ニードルコークスは、原料コールタールピッチを水素化して水素化コールタールピッチを得た後、水素化コールタールピッチをコークス化することで製造できる。
なお、コークス化の原料としては、水素化コールタールピッチとともに他の原料を併用してもよい。このような原料は限定されないが、例えば石油系重質油が挙げられる。
本発明の黒鉛電極は、本発明の黒鉛電極用ニードルコークスを焼成してなる黒鉛電極である。本発明の黒鉛電極は、例えば、本発明の黒鉛電極用ニードルコークスにバインダーピッチを適当量添加した原料を混練した後、成形して得られた生電極を焼成し、黒鉛化することで得られる。黒鉛電極の製造においては、必要に応じて黒鉛化の後に加工してもよい。
以下、実施例によって本発明を具体的に説明するが、本発明は以下の記載によっては限定されない。
各例の組成比になるように各化合物を計り取り、乳鉢にて混合し、1000℃~1500℃の温度範囲で大気雰囲気および還元雰囲気で焼成した。得られた化合物は乳鉢にて100μm以下になるまで粉砕し、これをインヒビターとして用いた。
各例において、所定の粒子サイズまで粉砕した石炭系ニードルコークスと、石炭系ニードルコークスに対して外割で30重量%のバインダーピッチと、表1~3に記載の添加量のインヒビターとを混ぜ合わせ、165℃で加熱しながら5分間混錬した。これを20mmΦ×3mm~15mmの円板状にモールド成形し、焼成炉を用いて1000℃または1300℃で3時間か焼し、バインダーピッチを焼き飛ばしてパッフィング測定用のテストピースとした。テストピースを昇温速度20℃/分で2100℃または2800℃まで昇温して焼成(本焼成)した。焼成前と焼成後の不可逆的な伸縮率を、前記した式(I)または式(II)を用いて算出して冷間パッフィング値として表した。か焼温度が1000℃、本焼成温度(本焼成の最高温度)が2100℃の場合の冷間パッフィング値がパッフィング値P2100であり、か焼温度が1300℃、本焼成温度(本焼成の最高温度)が2800℃の場合の冷間パッフィング値がパッフィング値P2800である。
か焼コークスを粉砕した後に一定の粒度に調整した。これに石炭系のバインダーピッチをか焼コークスに対して外割で30重量%加え、165℃で混練した後、押出し成形機を用いて円柱状の成形体を作製した。焼成炉を用いて前記成形体を1000℃で3時間焼成してテストピース(円柱体)とした。テストピースを昇温速度20℃/分にて室温から2800℃の温度まで昇温し、その間のサンプルの長さ方向の寸法の伸びを押し棒式熱膨張計にて測定し、下記式により計算して熱間パッフィング値として示した。なお、テストピース(円柱体)の長さ方向の寸法の伸びは、押出し成形の押出し方向に対して垂直方向の伸びに該当する。熱間パッフィング値は低い方がよい。
熱間パッフィング値(%)=(△L/L)×100
(式中、Lは試験前のテストピースの長さ、△Lは2800℃までの昇温間のテストピースの長さ方向の伸びである。)
上記(2)の測定方法によって焼成された後のテストピースについて、その直径と厚みから体積を算出し、またテストピースの重量を測定し、重量を体積で除して嵩密度を計算して成形体密度BD(バルクデンシティ;BD)とした。
上記(2)の測定方法と同様の方法で得た1300℃でのか焼後のテストピースをW坩堝に採取し、採取量を精秤した。これを赤外線加熱炉にセットされた石英製TPD管にセットし、Heを100ccmで流通させながら100℃/分で1700℃まで昇温し、1700℃で3分間維持した後に放冷した。その間に石英製TPD管出口から出るガスを飛行時間型質量分析計に引き込み、各ガス成分のトレンドをモニタリングした。定量は、得られたトレンドのバックグラウンドから上の面積に対し、別途測定した標品のトレンド面積-物質量比、若しくは標準ガスの検量線を用いて行った。
上記(5)のTPD-MS法による測定後のテストピースについて、X線回折装置により測定した。測定条件はCuKα、40kV、50mA、2θ=10-90°とし、封入管式X線回折装置(リガク製 Smart Lab SE)を使用した。
(1)の方法でインヒビターを合成し、(2)の方法でテストピースを作製して冷間パッフィング値と成形体密度BDを測定した。比較例A1ではインヒビターを添加しない以外は(2)と同様の方法でテストピースを作製した。各例のインヒビターの組成、添加量、か焼温度、本焼成温度は表1~3に記載のとおりとした。
各例の冷間パッフィング値および成形体密度BDの測定結果を表1~表3に示す。また、実施例A3、A12~A14および比較例A1について、Ca3SiO5の添加量に対する冷間パッフィング値をプロットした結果を図1に示す。また、1700℃まで昇温したTPD-MSの測定結果を図2に示し、TPD-MSの測定後の粉末X線回折結果を図3に示す。
また、表2および図1に示すように、比較例A1、実施例A3、A12~A14を比較すると、インヒビターの添加量が増えるにしたがって冷間パッフィング値が小さくなり、パッフィング抑制効果が増大した。
また、実施例A1~A20では、成形体密度BDも十分に大きかった。
(1)の方法で合成したCa3SiO5を、(2)の方法において2重量%添加してテストピースを作製し、冷間パッフィング値を測定した。比較例A8ではインヒビターを添加せずに(3)の方法でテストピースを作製し、熱間パッフィング温度を測定した。1000℃~2650℃のパッフィング値の測定結果を図4に示す。
また、窒素パッフィングが起こるとされる温度は1700℃~2100℃であることから、窒素パッフィングと硫黄パッフィングの切り分けを行うために、焼成温度が1700℃~2100℃の伸縮率の変化率と、1700℃~2600℃までの伸縮率の変化率をそれぞれ算出した。その結果を表4に示す。
(1)の方法でインヒビターを合成し、(2)の方法でテストピースを作製して冷間パッフィング値と成形体密度BDを測定した。各例のインヒビターの組成、添加量、か焼温度、本焼成温度は表5に記載のとおりとした。
各例の冷間パッフィング値および成形体密度BDの測定結果を表5に示す。
各例において、所定の粒子サイズまで粉砕した石炭系ニードルコークスと、石炭系ニードルコークスに対して外割で30重量%のバインダーピッチと、2重量%のインヒビターとを混ぜ合わせ、165℃で加熱しながら5分間混錬した。これを20mmΦ×3mm~15mmの円板状にモールド成形し、焼成炉を用いて1000℃または1300℃で3時間か焼し、バインダーピッチを焼き飛ばしてパッフィング測定用のテストピースとした。テストピースを昇温速度20℃/分で2100℃または2800℃まで昇温して焼成(本焼成)した。焼成前と焼成後の不可逆的な伸縮率を、前記した式(I)または式(II)を用いて算出して冷間パッフィング値として表した。か焼温度が1000℃、本焼成温度(本焼成の最高温度)が2100℃の場合の冷間パッフィング値がパッフィング値P2100であり、か焼温度が1300℃、本焼成温度(本焼成の最高温度)が2800℃の場合の冷間パッフィング値がパッフィング値P2800である。
表6に示すモル比となるようにCaとSiを混合し、(1)の方法でCaOとSiO2が複合化したインヒビターを合成した。得られたインヒビターを用いて(7)の方法にてテストピースを2個作製し、冷間パッフィング法による測定を行った。窒素パッフィングと硫黄パッフィングの切り分けを行うため、一つのテストピースは窒素パッフィングが起こるとされる2100℃で焼成を止め、もう一つは2800℃まで焼成を行い、2100℃冷間パッフィング値(P2100)と2800℃冷間パッフィング値(P2800)を求めた。
CaOとSiO2とをCaOが75モル%、SiO2が25モル%となる割合で混合し、その混合粉をインヒビターとする以外は、実施例B1と同様にしてテストピースを2個作製し、2100℃冷間パッフィング値(P2100)と2800℃冷間パッフィング値(P2800)を求めた。
CaOのみからなるインヒビターとする以外は、実施例B1と同様にしてテストピースを2個作製し、2100℃冷間パッフィング値(P2100)と2800℃冷間パッフィング値(P2800)を求めた。
SiO2のみからなるインヒビターとする以外は、実施例B1と同様にしてテストピースを2個作製し、2100℃冷間パッフィング値(P2100)と2800℃冷間パッフィング値(P2800)を求めた。
各例の2100℃と2800℃の冷間パッフィング値の測定結果を表6および図5に示す。
また、比較例B1、B2に示すように、単元素金属だけ入れた場合は、2100℃と2800℃のパッフィングの両方を抑える事ができず、例えば、比較例B1は2100℃窒素パッフィングを抑える効果だけが確認された。
すなわち、第二の実施形態のインヒビターが元素(Mα)を有する酸化物および元素(Mβ)を有する酸化物を含むため、焼成時の昇温過程においてコークス中の窒素または硫黄と反応して複合化合物(窒化物、酸窒化物、硫化物、酸硫化物)を形成することから、第二の実施形態による効果を奏するものであると推察される。
各例において、所定の粒子サイズまで粉砕した石炭系ニードルコークスと、石炭系ニードルコークスに対して外割で30重量%のバインダーピッチと、2重量%のインヒビターとを混ぜ合わせ、165℃で加熱しながら5分間混錬した。これを20mmΦ×3mm~15mmの円板状にモールド成形し、焼成炉を用いて1000℃で3時間か焼し、バインダーピッチを焼き飛ばしてパッフィング測定用のテストピースとした。テストピースを昇温速度20℃/分で2100℃、2650℃または2800℃まで昇温して焼成(本焼成)した。焼成前と焼成後の不可逆的な伸縮率を冷間パッフィング値として表した。2100℃まで昇温した冷間パッフィング値は前記した式(I)、2650℃または2800℃まで昇温した冷間パッフィング値は、前記した式(I)におけるL2として、2650℃または2800℃まで焼成後のテストピースの厚み(mm)を代入にして算出した。
上記(8)の測定方法によって焼成された後のテストピースについて、その直径と厚みから体積を算出し、またテストピースの重量を測定し、重量を体積で除して嵩密度を計算して成形体密度BD(バルクデンシティ;BD)とした。
各例におけるか焼後または焼成後のテストピースの組成分析を行った。
テストピース中の金属元素(Ca、Si)については、テストピースを最高温度750℃で乾式灰化後、灰分をアルカリ塩溶融分解し、希塩酸に溶解して一定容とした後、適宜希釈して誘導結合プラズマ(ICP)発光分光分析装置(Thermo Fischer Scientific, iCAP7600 duo)で分析し、マトリクスマッチング検量線法で定量した。テストピース中の窒素と酸素については、酸素窒素分析装置(LECO社製TCH600)を用いてインパルス炉にて不活性ガス雰囲気下で加熱抽出し、NIR検出検量線法によって酸素を定量し、熱伝導度検出検量線法で窒素を定量した。テストピース中の硫黄については、炭素硫黄分析装置(LECO社製CS600)を用い、酸素気流中で高周波炉にてテストピースを燃焼させ、NIR検出検量線法で定量した。
インヒビターとして(1)の方法で合成したCa3SiO5を用い、(8)の方法にてテストピースを作製し、か焼後のテストピースについて(10)の方法で組成分析を行った。結果を表7に示す。
