Description

本発明は、黒色度に優れると共に、可及的に磁化値が低い鉄系黒色粒子粉末を提供する。   The present invention provides an iron-based black particle powder having excellent blackness and a magnetization value as low as possible.

本発明に係る鉄系黒色粒子粉末は、黒色を呈する顔料及び塗料、樹脂組成物の着色用材料等として使用することができ、殊に、非磁性黒色トナーに用いた場合には、黒色度に優れ、しかも磁化値が低い黒色トナーを提供することができる。   The iron-based black particle powder according to the present invention can be used as a pigment and paint exhibiting black color, a coloring material for a resin composition, and the like, and particularly when used for a non-magnetic black toner, An excellent black toner having a low magnetization value can be provided.

マグネタイト粒子粉末、イルメナイト粒子粉末、カーボンブラック等の黒色顔料は、塗料用、印刷インク用、化粧品用、ゴム・樹脂組成物用等の着色剤として古くから汎用されている。   Black pigments such as magnetite particle powder, ilmenite particle powder, and carbon black have long been widely used as colorants for paints, printing inks, cosmetics, rubber / resin compositions, and the like.

特に、マグネタイト粒子粉末等の黒色磁性酸化鉄粒子粉末を樹脂中に混合分散させた複合体粒子は、電子写真用現像剤として用いる磁性トナーに多用されている。   In particular, composite particles obtained by mixing and dispersing black magnetic iron oxide particles such as magnetite particles in a resin are frequently used in magnetic toners used as electrophotographic developers.

近時、レーザービームプリンターやデジタル複写機の高速化及び高画質化に伴って、現像剤である黒色トナーの特性向上が強く要求されており、その為には、黒色トナーが十分な黒色度を有していることが強く要求される。   Recently, with the increase in the speed and image quality of laser beam printers and digital copying machines, there has been a strong demand for improving the characteristics of black toner as a developer. For this purpose, black toner has sufficient blackness. It is strongly required to have it.

更に、近年では、フルカラー化が進められており、対応するプリンターや複写機としては非磁性トナーが用いられている。   Furthermore, in recent years, full-color printing has been promoted, and non-magnetic toner is used as a corresponding printer or copying machine.

そこで、黒色トナーにおいても、非磁性又は可及的に磁化値が小さく、現在のシステムに適合できる黒色非磁性トナーが要求されている。   Therefore, there is a demand for black toner that is non-magnetic or has a magnetization value as small as possible and can be adapted to the current system.

上述した通り、黒色非磁性トナーの諸特性の向上は強く要求されているところである。黒色非磁性トナーは、殊に、トナー中に含有する黒色顔料が、現像特性に大きく影響することが知られており、黒色非磁性トナーの諸特性と黒色非磁性トナー中に混合分散されている黒色顔料の諸特性とは密接な関係があり、黒色非磁性トナーに用いられる黒色顔料についても、更に一層の特性改善が強く望まれている。   As described above, improvement of various characteristics of the black nonmagnetic toner is strongly demanded. In black nonmagnetic toner, it is known that the black pigment contained in the toner has a great influence on the development characteristics, and various characteristics of the black nonmagnetic toner and the black nonmagnetic toner are mixed and dispersed. There is a close relationship with various characteristics of the black pigment, and further improvement of the characteristics of the black pigment used in the black nonmagnetic toner is strongly desired.

即ち、黒色度に優れた黒色非磁性トナーを得るためには、黒色粒子粉末が十分な黒色度を有し、分散性がより優れていることが要求されている。さらに、現行の非磁性トナーを用いるシステムに適合させるためには、黒色粒子粉末としても、非磁性又は可及的に磁化値が低い粒子粉末が要求されている。   That is, in order to obtain a black non-magnetic toner with excellent blackness, it is required that the black particle powder has sufficient blackness and better dispersibility. Furthermore, in order to adapt to the current system using non-magnetic toner, as the black particle powder, non-magnetic or particle powder having a magnetization value as low as possible is required.

一方、カーボンブラックは非磁性ではあるが、粒子サイズが平均粒子径0.005〜0.05μm程度の微粒子粉末であるため、ビヒクル中や樹脂組成物中への分散が困難であり、また、かさ密度が0.1g/cm程度とかさ高い粉末であるため、取り扱いが困難で、作業性が悪いことが知られている。 On the other hand, although carbon black is non-magnetic, it is a fine particle powder having an average particle size of about 0.005 to 0.05 μm, so that it is difficult to disperse in a vehicle or a resin composition. It is known that since it is a bulky powder with a density of about 0.1 g / cm 3 , handling is difficult and workability is poor.

そこで、黒色度に優れ、しかも、非磁性又は磁化値が可及的に低い黒色粒子粉末が要求されている。   Therefore, there is a demand for black particle powder that is excellent in blackness and that is as non-magnetic or as low in magnetization as possible.

黒色を呈した鉄系粒子粉末として、水熱処理することによって得られたイルメナイト粒子粉末(特許文献1)、FeTiOとFe−FeTiO固溶体との混合組成からなる黒色顔料(特許文献2)、磁化値σ1000が20〜50Am/kgであって全Feに対して0.5〜10.0原子%のチタンを含有する黒色磁性酸化鉄粒子粉末(特許文献3)が知られている。 Ilmenite particle powder (Patent Document 1) obtained by hydrothermal treatment as a black iron-based particle powder, a black pigment comprising a mixed composition of Fe 2 TiO 5 and Fe 2 O 3 —FeTiO 3 solid solution (patent Document 2), black magnetic iron oxide particle powder (Patent Document 3) having a magnetization value σ 1000 of 20 to 50 Am 2 / kg and containing 0.5 to 10.0 atomic% of titanium with respect to total Fe is known. It has been.

黒色度に優れるとともに、可及的に磁化値が低い鉄系黒色粒子粉末は、現在最も要求されているところであるが、未だ得られていない。   An iron-based black particle powder that is excellent in blackness and has a magnetization value as low as possible is currently most demanded, but has not yet been obtained.

即ち、前出特許文献1には、Ti3+を用いて水熱処理によってイルメナイト粒子粉末を得ることが記載されているが、水熱処理によって製造しており、工業的とは言い難い。 That is, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it is described that ilmenite particle powder is obtained by hydrothermal treatment using Ti 3+ , but it is manufactured by hydrothermal treatment and is not industrially useful.

前出特許文献2記載の非磁性粒子粉末は、FeTiOとFe2O3−FeTiO3固溶体であり、後出比較例に示す通り、着色力が低く、黒色度を満足するものとは言い難いものである。 The non-magnetic particle powder described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 is a solid solution of Fe 2 TiO 5 and Fe 2 O 3 -FeTiO 3, and it is difficult to say that the coloring power is low and the blackness is satisfied as shown in the following comparative example. is there.

前出特許文献3記載の黒色磁性酸化鉄粒子粉末は、Ti含有量が0.5〜10原子%であり、また、磁場1kOeにおける磁化値σ1000が20〜50emu/gであるが、Na−Fe−Ti化合物は含まれておらず黒色度が十分とは言い難いものである。 The black magnetic iron oxide particle powder described in the aforementioned Patent Document 3 has a Ti content of 0.5 to 10 atomic% and a magnetization value σ 1000 at a magnetic field of 1 kOe is 20 to 50 emu / g. Fe-Ti compound is not included, and it is difficult to say that the blackness is sufficient.

そこで、本発明は、黒色度に優れると共に、磁化値が低い鉄系黒色粒子粉末を得ることを技術的課題とする。   Then, this invention makes it a technical subject to obtain the iron-type black particle powder which is excellent in blackness and has a low magnetization value.

前記技術的課題は、次の通りの本発明によって達成できる。   The technical problem can be achieved by the present invention as follows.

即ち、本発明は、鉄チタン複合酸化物とNa−Fe−Ti化合物とを有することを特徴とする鉄系黒色粒子粉末である(本発明1)。   That is, the present invention is an iron-based black particle powder characterized by having an iron-titanium composite oxide and a Na—Fe—Ti compound (Invention 1).

また、本発明は、前記鉄系黒色粒子粉末において、Na−Fe−Ti化合物と鉄チタン複合酸化物とのX線回折のピーク強度比が0.002〜1.00であることを特徴とする鉄系黒色粒子粉末である(本発明2)。   In the iron-based black particle powder according to the present invention, a peak intensity ratio of X-ray diffraction between the Na—Fe—Ti compound and the iron-titanium composite oxide is 0.002 to 1.00. This is iron-based black particle powder (Invention 2).

また、本発明は、0.1〜20重量%の青色顔料を含有する請求項1又は2記載の鉄系黒色粒子粉末である(本発明3)。   Moreover, this invention is an iron-type black particle powder of Claim 1 or 2 containing a 0.1-20 weight% blue pigment (this invention 3).

また、本発明は、本発明1乃至本発明3のいずれかの鉄系黒色粒子粉末を用いることを特徴とする黒色トナーである(本発明4)。   In addition, the present invention is a black toner using the iron-based black particle powder of any one of the first to third aspects (Invention 4).

本発明に係る鉄系黒色粒子粉末は、黒色度に優れ、可及的に磁化値が低いので、黒色を呈する顔料及び塗料、樹脂組成物の着色用材料、充填材等として好適である。   Since the iron-based black particle powder according to the present invention has excellent blackness and has a magnetization value as low as possible, it is suitable as a pigment and paint exhibiting black, a coloring material for a resin composition, a filler, and the like.

本発明に係る鉄系黒色粒子粉末を用いて製造した黒色非磁性トナーは、高い黒色度を有すると共に、磁化値が低いので、非磁性トナーとして好適である。   The black nonmagnetic toner produced using the iron-based black particle powder according to the present invention has a high blackness and a low magnetization value, and therefore is suitable as a nonmagnetic toner.

本発明の構成をより詳しく説明すれば次の通りである。   The configuration of the present invention will be described in more detail as follows.

先ず、本発明に係る鉄系黒色粒子粉末について述べる。   First, the iron-based black particle powder according to the present invention will be described.

本発明に係る鉄系黒色粒子粉末のTi含有量は全Feに対して2.0〜100.0原子%が好ましい。2.0原子%未満の場合には、磁化値が高くなり、現行の非磁性トナーを用いるシステムに適合させることが困難である。100原子%を越える場合には、未反応のTi化合物が残存するため、所望の黒色度と着色力とが得られない。より好ましくは3.0〜50.0原子%であり、更により好ましくは5.0〜40.0原子%である。   The Ti content of the iron-based black particle powder according to the present invention is preferably 2.0 to 100.0 atomic% with respect to the total Fe. If it is less than 2.0 atomic%, the magnetization value becomes high, and it is difficult to adapt to the current system using non-magnetic toner. If it exceeds 100 atomic%, the unreacted Ti compound remains, so that the desired blackness and coloring power cannot be obtained. More preferably, it is 3.0-50.0 atomic%, More preferably, it is 5.0-40.0 atomic%.

本発明に係る鉄系黒色粒子粉末の飽和磁化値は60Am/kg以下である。60Am/kgを越える場合には、現行の非磁性トナーを用いるシステムに適合させることが困難であり、所望の画像濃度を得にくくなり、またカブリの発生が見られるようになる。好ましくは0〜50Am/kg、より好ましくは0〜40Am/kgである。 The saturation magnetization value of the iron-based black particle powder according to the present invention is 60 Am 2 / kg or less.

When the BET specific surface area value is less than 2 m 2 / g, the nonmagnetic black particle powder is coarse or becomes coarse particles in which the particles and particles are sintered together, and the coloring power is reduced. When it exceeds 100 m 2 / g, it becomes difficult to obtain a desired blackness. More preferably, it is 3-90 m < 2 > / g.
