Description

本発明は、フェノール樹脂球状硬化物の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a phenol resin spherical cured product.

フェノール樹脂は高耐熱性、高難燃性などの優れた性質を有しているため、成形材料用、繊維強化プラスチックのバインダー用、各種炭素材料の炭素源用等として広く使用されている。   Since phenolic resins have excellent properties such as high heat resistance and high flame retardancy, they are widely used for molding materials, binders for fiber-reinforced plastics, carbon sources for various carbon materials, and the like.

従来、フェノール樹脂の球状硬化物を得る方法としてはフェノール類とアルデヒド類を用いて懸濁重合プロセスを行う方法が知られており、例えば、平均粒径が10〜5000μmの球状硬化物が得られている(特許文献1、2)。この球状硬化物は主として加熱成形を行うためのバインダーとして使用されている。懸濁重合プロセスにより得られた球状硬化物は、通常反応終了後に固液分離をすると分散剤の影響で凝集することから、凝集物を砕く解砕工程が必要であった。この解砕工程はそれ自体コスト上昇の要因となるだけでなく、粒子の凝集を強制的に解くことから、球状粒子に欠けが生じるなど、粒子形状が失われやすいという問題点がある。さらに解砕に用いる粉砕機の材質によっては金属不純物を巻き込み、硬化物のその後の純度に悪影響を及ぼすことになる。   Conventionally, as a method of obtaining a spherical cured product of a phenol resin, a method of performing a suspension polymerization process using phenols and aldehydes is known. For example, a spherical cured product having an average particle size of 10 to 5000 μm is obtained. (Patent Documents 1 and 2). This spherical cured product is mainly used as a binder for thermoforming. Since the spherical cured product obtained by the suspension polymerization process usually aggregates due to the influence of the dispersant when solid-liquid separation is performed after the reaction is completed, a pulverization step for crushing the aggregate is necessary. This crushing process itself not only causes an increase in cost, but also has a problem that the particle shape is easily lost, for example, the spherical particles are chipped because the particles are forcibly solved. Furthermore, depending on the material of the pulverizer used for crushing, metal impurities may be involved, which will adversely affect the subsequent purity of the cured product.

上記問題点を解消する方法として、硬化反応後に硬化物粒子を水洗する方法が報告されているが(特許文献3)、この水洗過程で発生する大量の廃液処理も大きな問題となる。   As a method for solving the above problems, there has been reported a method of washing the cured particles after the curing reaction (Patent Document 3), but a large amount of waste liquid treatment generated in the washing process is also a big problem.

このほかに、懸濁安定剤を用いない手法としては、酸性触媒下でフェノール類と大過剰のホルマリンとを反応させて、微粒子状のフェノール樹脂を製造する方法が開示されている(特許文献4)。しかしながら、この方法では大過剰のホルマリン、塩酸を用いるため製造コストが高く、反応後の廃水処理の問題が生じる。また、球状硬化物の真球度も低くなる傾向があった。
特開昭61−127719号公報 特開昭62−235312号公報 特開平11−80300号公報 特開昭57−177011号公報
In addition to this, as a technique not using a suspension stabilizer, a method of producing a fine phenol resin by reacting phenols with a large excess of formalin in an acidic catalyst is disclosed (Patent Document 4). ). However, since this method uses a large excess of formalin and hydrochloric acid, the production cost is high, resulting in a problem of wastewater treatment after the reaction. Moreover, the sphericity of the spherical cured product tended to be low.

In the present invention, the curing reaction of the phenol resin is carried out in an aqueous medium under heating. Although it does not specifically limit as an aqueous medium, Usually, water is used. Moreover, since the usage-amount of an aqueous medium influences the average particle diameter of a phenol resin spherical hardened | cured material, it selects suitably and adjusts so that it may become a desired average particle diameter. The heating temperature is preferably 70 to 100 ° C., but is not particularly limited. The shape of the reaction vessel is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use a reaction vessel with a stirring blade or a stirring device because the reaction is preferably carried out with stirring. The shape of the stirring blade is not particularly limited, and usually a bowl-shaped stirring blade having a baffle plate is used. Stirring conditions such as the stirring speed influence the average particle diameter of the phenolic resin spherical cured product.For example, when the stirring speed is slow, the particles tend to combine with each other to obtain a cured product having a large average particle diameter. Select and adjust to the desired average particle size.
In this invention, a suspension accelerator is decomposed | disassembled by adding a decomposition accelerator to the suspension of the phenol resin spherical cured material created by the said process.
The degradation accelerator used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it decomposes the suspension stabilizer, but is preferably an enzyme, acid or base capable of decomposing the suspension stabilizer, specifically, Starch-degrading enzymes such as α-amylase, β-amylase, and glucoamylase; Cellulolytic enzymes such as cellulase; Acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, oxalic acid, and acetic acid; Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, etc. Examples include bases. Among these, amylolytic enzyme or acid is more preferable, and α-amylase or hydrochloric acid is particularly preferable. Although the usage-amount of a decomposition accelerator is not specifically limited, Preferably it is 0.00001-10 weight% with respect to a suspension stabilizer, More preferably, it is 0.0001-1 weight%. If the amount of the decomposition accelerator used is less than 0.00001% by weight, the suspension stabilizer tends not to decompose sufficiently, and even if it exceeds 10% by weight, there is no significant difference in the effect of addition, so economically. It tends to be undesirable.
In the method of the present invention, it is important to decompose the suspension stabilizer using a decomposition accelerator, which enables easy solid-liquid separation, and there is no secondary aggregation, and the phenolic resin spherical cured product has high sphericity. Can be achieved.

分解反応は、通常、加熱下に行われる。加熱温度は適宜選択されるが、30〜80℃であることが好ましい。分解促進剤として酵素を用いる場合は、酵素が失活しない温度範囲内、通常は35〜45℃で加熱温度が選択される。
本発明では、前記分解反応後、懸濁液からフェノール樹脂球状硬化物を固液分離する。固液分離は常法に従って行えばよく、例えば、遠心分離、濾過、噴霧乾燥などが用いられるが特にこれに限定されるものではない。
The decomposition reaction is usually performed under heating. The heating temperature is appropriately selected, but is preferably 30 to 80 ° C. When an enzyme is used as the decomposition accelerator, the heating temperature is selected within a temperature range where the enzyme is not deactivated, usually 35 to 45 ° C.
In the present invention, after the decomposition reaction, the phenol resin spherical cured product is solid-liquid separated from the suspension. Solid-liquid separation may be performed according to a conventional method, and for example, centrifugation, filtration, spray drying, and the like are used, but the invention is not particularly limited thereto.

固液分離により取得したフェノール樹脂球状硬化物は、所望により、風乾、加熱乾燥または真空乾燥などの乾燥を行ってもよい。乾燥条件は特に規定されるものではないが、好ましくは60℃〜150℃の温度下に行われる。温度が60℃未満である場合は乾燥に時間がかかり効率が悪くなる傾向にあり、150℃を越える場合はフェノール樹脂球状硬化物が強く凝集する傾向にある。
本発明の方法により得られるフェノール樹脂球状硬化物の平均粒径は、特に限定されないが、1〜1000μmであることが好ましく、10〜500μmであることがより好ましい。平均粒径が1μm未満である場合は、フェノール樹脂球状硬化物が飛散しやすく取り扱いに支障が生じる可能性がある。また、平均粒径が1000μmを越える場合は、フェノール樹脂球状硬化物を製造する際の反応条件によっては粒子の形状がいびつになり、球形を保持できなくなる可能性がある。
The phenolic resin spherical cured product obtained by solid-liquid separation may be subjected to drying such as air drying, heat drying or vacuum drying, if desired. The drying conditions are not particularly defined, but are preferably performed at a temperature of 60 ° C to 150 ° C. When the temperature is less than 60 ° C., drying tends to take time and the efficiency tends to deteriorate. When the temperature exceeds 150 ° C., the phenol resin spherical cured product tends to strongly aggregate.
Although the average particle diameter of the phenol resin spherical cured product obtained by the method of the present invention is not particularly limited, it is preferably 1 to 1000 μm, and more preferably 10 to 500 μm. When the average particle size is less than 1 μm, the spherical cured product of the phenol resin is likely to be scattered, which may hinder the handling. If the average particle size exceeds 1000 μm, the shape of the particles may become distorted depending on the reaction conditions in producing the phenol resin spherical cured product, and the spherical shape may not be maintained.

なお、フェノール樹脂球状硬化物の平均粒径の調整方法としては特に限定されないが、例えば、フェノール樹脂球状硬化物の懸濁液を作製する際、懸濁安定剤の種類、懸濁安定剤の量及び水性媒体の量、攪拌条件などを適宜選択することにより所望の平均粒径に調整することができる。   The method for adjusting the average particle diameter of the phenol resin spherical cured product is not particularly limited. For example, when preparing a suspension of the phenol resin spherical cured product, the type of suspension stabilizer, the amount of suspension stabilizer And it can adjust to a desired average particle diameter by selecting the quantity of an aqueous medium, stirring conditions, etc. suitably.

フェノール樹脂球状硬化物の平均粒径は、例えば、レーザ回折/散乱式粒度分布測定装置(株式会社堀場製作所社製、LA920)を用いて測定することができる。粒度測定サンプルはフェノール樹脂球状硬化物の懸濁液を用いて直接測定することができる。また、フェノール樹脂球状硬化物の粒子形状は、電子顕微鏡写真で直接観察することができる。   The average particle diameter of the phenol resin spherical cured product can be measured using, for example, a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring apparatus (LA920, manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.). The particle size measurement sample can be directly measured using a suspension of a phenol resin spherical cured product. Moreover, the particle shape of a phenol resin spherical hardened | cured material can be directly observed with an electron micrograph.

本発明の製造方法により得られたフェノール樹脂球状硬化物は、そのまま単独使用にて或いは他の素材と複合化して、冷凍機、エアコンディショナー等の加湿ユニット、工業用フィルター等に利用でき、種々のプラスチックやゴムなどの耐熱性、機械的強度の改質材としても利用できる。また、真球度が高く耐衝撃性が高いことから、種々の研磨剤や金属を被覆して導電性を付与した後、接着剤中に単分散させることにより、異方導電膜の製造に使用できる。更に、加熱時の熱融着がないことから、粉末炭素材料としても有望であり、例えば、本発明の製造方法により得られたフェノール樹脂球状硬化物を炭化、賦活化することで粉砕工程を経ずして粒状活性炭が製造できる。また、フェノール樹脂球状硬化物を炭化したものを用いれば粉末カーボン電極材や導電性フィラー、触媒担持体及び導電性流動付与材として使用できる。   The phenolic resin spherical cured product obtained by the production method of the present invention can be used alone or in combination with other materials, and can be used in humidification units such as refrigerators and air conditioners, industrial filters, etc. It can also be used as a heat and mechanical strength modifier for plastics and rubber. Also, since it has high sphericity and high impact resistance, it is used for the production of anisotropic conductive film by coating various abrasives and metals to impart conductivity and then monodispersing in adhesive. it can. Furthermore, since there is no heat fusion during heating, it is also promising as a powdered carbon material. For example, the pulverization step is performed by carbonizing and activating the phenol resin spherical cured product obtained by the production method of the present invention. Soon, granular activated carbon can be produced. Moreover, if what carbonized phenol resin spherical hardened | cured material is used, it can be used as a powder carbon electrode material, an electroconductive filler, a catalyst support body, and an electroconductive fluidity imparting material.
