The inventors of the present invention have studied the factors causing the hard particles and the composition of the hard particles. As a result, the hard particles are mixed in the manufacturing process of the abrasive raw material. It was considered that the constituent materials such as a drying oven, a roasting oven, and a roasting dish for drying and roasting are mixed into powder. Further, although its composition is not clear, it was found that the refractory material that is a constituent material of the roasting furnace is composed of a silicon component, an aluminum component, a zirconium component, or those changed by heating during roasting. . And from a more detailed study by the present inventors,
It was confirmed that the hard particles can exist without being dissolved even in a perchloric acid aqueous solution and a hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution which are soluble solutions of rare earth oxide and rare earth carbonate.

In the present invention, "particulate material containing at least one element of silicon, aluminum and zirconium and having no solubility in an aqueous solution of perchloric acid and an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide" means This is because the hard particles that cause the abrasion scratches are specified as much as possible based on the results of the study by the present inventors. That is, the abrasive raw material produced by roasting a rare earth compound contains elements such as silicon, aluminum and zirconium, but the cause of scratches is a particulate substance containing these elements. And it is clarified that it is hardened, and even if it contains elements of silicon, aluminum, and zirconium, it has a solubility in an aqueous solution of perchloric acid and an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide. Since it does not cause scratches, it eliminates such soluble substances.

In other words, the occurrence of polishing scratches is also affected by the polishing speed.When the polishing speed is high, some hard particles are present in the polishing material, and even if scratches are generated, the scratches will be produced in a short time by high-speed polishing. To be removed. However, in reality, high-speed polishing that causes such a phenomenon is impossible, and the polishing speed (0.0

Here, the cerium-based abrasive material raw material according to the present invention is one in which hard particles generated by mixing of constituent materials such as a roasting furnace during the drying and roasting of the above-mentioned rare earth compound are eliminated. Therefore, the cerium-based abrasive material raw material according to the present invention can be manufactured by suppressing the mixing of the constituent materials of such a roasting furnace. Here, the cerium-based abrasive raw material to be the subject of the present invention is usually a raw material such as bastnasite ore or a complex ore produced in China dissolved with hydrochloric acid or the like, precipitated with carbonate, filtered, and washed. It is produced by drying and roasting the rare earth compound (rare earth carbonate) which has been subjected to. In the present invention, hard particles can be eliminated by making the following improvements in this step.

First, it is necessary to wash the rare earth compound precipitated by the carbonate until the fluorine concentration is sufficiently reduced. This is because when the raw material is dried and roasted with the fluorine component derived from the raw material such as bastnasite remaining, the fluorine component volatilizes as hydrogen fluoride and erodes the constituent materials of the drying furnace and the roasting furnace, This is because it is a factor of mixing hard particles. In this cleaning step, the fluorine concentration is 0.1 to 0.
It is preferable to perform washing until it reaches 01% by weight.

As for the drying and roasting steps after washing, it is preferable to carry out the drying step in the range of 100 to 150 ° C. This is because in this temperature range, the fluorine component in the rare earth compound is unlikely to change to hydrogen fluoride, and erosion of the furnace in the drying step can be suppressed. Further, in the roasting step, the roasting temperature is preferably 400 ° C to 800 ° C. The temperature of 400 ° C. or higher is for oxidizing rare earth carbonate into rare earth oxide, and the temperature of 800 ° C. or lower is for suppressing the change of the fluorine component in the rare earth compound to hydrogen fluoride. In addition, in this roasting step, mixing of hard particles can be suppressed by selecting the type of roasting furnace. That is, since a continuous rotary furnace such as a rotary kiln has a smaller temperature change with respect to the furnace body as compared with a batch-type stationary furnace and therefore has a relatively small thermal shock, powdering of the furnace body and mixing of hard particles are not caused. It is suppressed.

In order to more reliably prevent hard particles from mixing into the abrasive raw material, a drying furnace, a roasting furnace, a roasting dish, etc. are made of a hard refractory material that is resistant to erosion and collapse. Therefore, it is preferable to dry and roast the rare earth compound. For example, the part of the furnace body that comes into contact with the abrasive raw material is made of a heat-resistant metal material such as stainless steel, or the material that has a high alumina content and high fire resistance is used to prevent erosion and collapse of the furnace body. Can be suppressed.

Next, an aqueous solution of perchloric acid and an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide are added to the weighed abrasive raw material and further heated. As a result, main components such as rare earth oxide and rare earth carbonate in the abrasive raw material are dissolved, and hard particles remain as a residue (step (b)). At this time, the abrasive raw material (rare earth carbonate, rare earth oxide) is mainly dissolved in the aqueous solution of perchloric acid, and the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution is a solubilizing agent, in particular, cerium in the raw material of the abrasive is soluble. It has a role of maintaining a high tetravalent state. And, the concentration of these solutions is 5 for an aqueous solution of perchloric acid.
It is preferable to use the one of about 20% by weight. This is because the abrasive raw material is efficiently dissolved and the waste of the reagent is taken into consideration. Further, with respect to the hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution, it is preferable to use 0.1 to 5% by weight from the viewpoint of a role as a dissolution aid. The order of adding the aqueous solution of perchloric acid and the aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide in this step is not particularly limited, and any of them may be added first. On the other hand, in this step, heating is performed after mixing the solutions in order to accelerate the dissolution of the abrasive raw material, but at this temperature, the boiling point of the mixed solution should be around 80 ° C. or higher (90 ° C.). preferable.
