(A)前記複数のセル流路の一方の開口端を上側、他方の開口端を下側に向けて、前記基材を配置し、前記基材の上端部に、前記基材の上端の外周から上方に延びる貯留壁を有する塗工液貯留治具を装着して、前記基材の上端面及び前記塗工液貯留治具の前記貯留壁の内側によって規定される塗工液貯留部を形成すること(塗工液貯留部形成工程);
(B)触媒コート層形成用塗工液を、前記塗工液貯留部に供給すること(塗工液供給工程);
(C)前記セル流路内の圧力を、前記塗工液貯留部の圧力よりも低くすることによって、前記塗工液貯留部の前記触媒コート層形成用塗工液を、前記セル流路内に導入して、前記隔壁に前記触媒コート層形成用塗工液をコートすること(吸引工程);
(D)前記塗工液貯留治具の前記貯留壁の内側に、上方から圧縮空気を吹き付けること(吹き付け工程)、及び
(E)前記触媒コート層形成用塗工液がコートされた前記基材を焼成すること(焼成工程)
を含み、かつ、
前記工程(C)のうちの少なくとも一部と、前記工程(D)のうちの少なくとも一部とを同時に行う、
排ガス浄化触媒装置の製造方法である。
基材(10)のセル流路内の圧力を、塗工液貯留部の圧力よりも低くすることによって、塗工液貯留部に供給された触媒コート層形成用塗工液(40)を、セル流路内に導入して、基材(10)の隔壁に触媒コート層形成用塗工液(40)をコートすることと、
適当な圧縮空気供給器(50)を用いて、塗工液貯留治具の貯留壁(20)の内側に、上方から圧縮空気(60)を吹き付けることと
を、同時に行う(図1(c)、(C)吸引工程及び(D)吹き付け工程)。
本発明に適用される基材は、隔壁によって区分された複数のセル流路を有する基材であり、従来技術の排ガス浄化触媒装置に用いられているハニカム基材であってよい。基材の隔壁は、隣接する排ガス流路間を流体的に連通する細孔を有していてよい。
本発明の排ガス浄化触媒装置の製造方法によって形成される触媒コート層は、基材の隔壁上及び隔壁中のうちの少なくとも一方に形成される。
塗工液貯留部形成工程では、先ず、複数のセル流路の一方の開口端を上側、他方の開口端を下側に向けて、基材を配置する。基材は、その長さ方向が、鉛直方向とほぼ一致するように配置されてよい。
(B)塗工液供給工程では、触媒コート層形成用塗工液を塗工液貯留部に供給する。
せん断速度400s-1における粘度:50mPa・s以上、60mPa・s以上、80mPa・s以上、100mPa・s以上、120mPa・s以上、又は140mPa・s以上、かつ、500mPa・s以下、400mPa・s以下、300mPa・s以下、又は200mPa・s以下。
(C)吸引工程では、基材のセル流路内の圧力を、塗工液貯留部の圧力よりも低くすることによって、塗工液貯留部の触媒コート層形成用塗工液を、セル流路内に導入して、隔壁に触媒コート層形成用塗工液をコートする。
(D)吹き付け工程では、塗工液貯留治具の貯留壁の内側に、上方から圧縮空気を吹き付ける。これにより、貯留壁の内側に、触媒コート層形成用塗工液の一部が付着していたとしても、これが吹き払われてセル流路内に落とし込まれ、所定量の触媒コート層形成用塗工液のコートが実現されることになる。
(E)焼成工程では、触媒コート層形成用塗工液がコートされた基材を焼成する。
(E)焼成工程における焼成は、使用する触媒コート層形成用塗工液の組成に応じて、公知の方法により、又はこれに当業者による適宜の変更を加えた方法により、行われてよい。
本発明の排ガス浄化触媒装置の製造方法では、上記の(C)吸引工程のうちの少なくとも一部と、(D)吹き付け工程のうちの少なくとも一部とを、同時に行うことを特徴とする。
本発明の方法によると、基材に触媒コート層形成用塗工液を所望の長さでコートすることが容易である。したがって、触媒コート層形成用塗工液のコートを、基材の上端から下方向に向かって所定の範囲について行ってよい。これにより、触媒コート層が、基材の片方の開口端から基材の長さ方向に所定の長さで伸びる、「ゾーンコート」と呼ばれるコート形態が、容易に精度よく実現される。
基材の上下を逆転させて、
(A)塗工液貯留部形成工程、(B)触媒コート層形成用塗工液供給工程、(C)吸引工程、(D)吹き付け工程、及び(E)焼成工程を行ってもよい。
基材の上下を逆転させて、
再度、(A)塗工液貯留部形成工程、(B)触媒コート層形成用塗工液供給工程、(C)吸引工程、(D)吹き付け工程、及び(E)焼成工程を行ってもよい。
実施例1では、図1(a)~(c)に示した方法にしたがって、ハニカム基材上に塗工液をコートした。
比較例1では、ハニカム基材の上方の塗工液貯留部に触媒コート層形成用塗工液を供給した後、3.0秒間の吸引及び2.0秒間のエアブローを、この順に、順次に行った他は、実施例1と同様にして、ハニカム基材への触媒コート層形成用塗工液のコートを行い、評価した。
比較例2では、ハニカム基材の上方の塗工液貯留部に触媒コート層形成用塗工液を供給した後、3.0秒間の吸引、2.0秒間のエアブロー、及び3.0秒間の吸引を、この順に、順次に行った他は、実施例1と同様にして、ハニカム基材への触媒コート層形成用塗工液のコートを行い、評価した。
