Therefore, the present applicant folds a paper-made sheet obtained by, for example, a wet paper-making method into a corrugated shape, and laminates the folded paper-made sheets in a plurality of stages to form a laminate, and the laminate is dried and dried. We have come to consider obtaining a lightweight catalyst structure by calcination.

本実施形態に係る排ガス浄化装置は、薪を燃焼させて放熱可能とされるとともに当該薪の燃焼により発生する排ガスを外部に排出可能な薪ストーブに取り付けられ、排ガスを浄化するための薪ストーブ用排ガス浄化装置に適用されたものである。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
The exhaust gas purifying apparatus according to the present embodiment is attached to a wood stove that can burn firewood to dissipate heat and can discharge the exhaust gas generated by burning the firewood to the outside, and is for purifying the exhaust gas. It is applied to an exhaust gas purifier.

本実施形態に適用される薪ストーブWは、図14に示すように、薪Mを燃焼させて放熱可能な燃焼室W2が形成された箱型の金属製本体W1と、薪Mの燃焼により発生した排ガスを外部に排出可能な煙突W3とを有して構成されており、金属製本体W1の前面には、燃焼室W2に薪Mを投入又は燃焼室W2内の灰を回収する際に開閉可能なガラス製の前扉Dが取り付けられている。 As shown in FIG. 14, the wood stove W applied to this embodiment includes a box-shaped metal main body W1 in which a combustion chamber W2 capable of radiating heat by burning firewood M is formed, and a and a chimney W3 capable of discharging the discharged exhaust gas to the outside, and the front surface of the metal main body W1 is opened and closed when throwing firewood M into the combustion chamber W2 or collecting ash in the combustion chamber W2. A possible glass front door D is installed.

また、燃焼室W2と煙突W3との間には、燃焼室W2で発生した排ガスを流通させ得る2つの排ガス流路N1、N2が形成されている。一方の排ガス流路N1は、本排ガス浄化装置1が取り付けられるとともに、他方の排ガス流路N2は、流路を開閉可能なダンパBが取り付けられている。ダンパBは、操作者が任意に操作可能とされており、排ガス流路N2を任意タイミングで開閉可能とされている。 Two exhaust gas passages N1 and N2 are formed between the combustion chamber W2 and the chimney W3, through which the exhaust gas generated in the combustion chamber W2 can flow. The exhaust gas purifier 1 is attached to one exhaust gas passage N1, and a damper B capable of opening and closing the passage is attached to the other exhaust gas passage N2. The damper B is arbitrarily operable by an operator, and can open and close the exhaust gas flow path N2 at arbitrary timing.

そして、薪Mを燃焼させて排ガスの温度が低いとき、ダンパBを閉状態とすることにより、排ガスaが他方の排ガス流路N2を流通して煙突W3から外部に排出されるとともに、排ガスの温度が高くなると、ダンパBを閉状態とすることにより、排ガスbが一方の排ガス流路N1を流通する過程で排ガス浄化装置1にて浄化され、煙突W3から外部に排出されることとなる。 When the firewood M is burned and the temperature of the exhaust gas is low, the damper B is closed so that the exhaust gas a flows through the other exhaust gas passage N2 and is discharged to the outside from the chimney W3. When the temperature rises, by closing the damper B, the exhaust gas b is purified by the exhaust gas purifier 1 while flowing through one of the exhaust gas passages N1, and is discharged to the outside from the chimney W3.

The papermaking sheet E3 is made of the same material as the papermaking sheets E1 and E2 constituting the laminate E, and is a sheet member having a thickness smaller than that of the papermaking sheets E1 and E2 constituting the laminate E. The reinforcing members F1 and F2 can be fixed to the laminate E during the manufacturing process by being wound around the outer circumferences of the members F1 and F2.

上記の如く抄造シートE3が外周面に巻き付けられた触媒構造体2は、図11に示すように、当該抄造シートE3のさらに外周面に対して保持部材5が巻き付けられている。この保持部材5は、アルミナ繊維から成るシート状部材から成り、図2~4に示すように、触媒構造体2と収容ケース4との間に介装されて収容ケース4に触媒構造体2を保持させるものである。 As shown in FIG. 11, the catalyst structure 2 having the papermaking sheet E3 wound around the outer peripheral surface thereof as described above has a holding member 5 further wound around the outer peripheral surface of the papermaking sheet E3. The holding member 5 is made of a sheet-like member made of alumina fibers, and is interposed between the catalyst structure 2 and the housing case 4 to hold the catalyst structure 2 in the housing case 4 as shown in FIGS. It is intended to be retained.

より具体的には、保持部材5は、Al:SiOが重量比で72:28とされた結晶質アルミナ繊維から成り、熱膨張し難くい材質とされている。また、本実施形態に係る保持部材5は、図12で示すように、一端が端面5a、5bを有した段形状とされるとともに他端が端面5c、5dを有した段形状とされており、端面5aと端面5c、及び端面5bと端面5dをそれぞれ合致させて触媒構造体2の外周面に巻き付けられるようになっている。 More specifically, the holding member 5 is made of crystalline alumina fiber in which the weight ratio of Al 2 O 3 :SiO 2 is 72:28, and is a material that is difficult to thermally expand.

Specifically, with the catalyst structure 2 housed in the housing case 4, the holding member 5 is interposed between the catalyst structure 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the housing case 4, as shown in FIG. At the same time, the side surface faces the folded portion 4b and is prevented from coming off.

金属触媒3は、触媒構造体2の積層体Eに担持された金属(図6の符号3にて模式的に示す金属)から成り、本実施形態においては、金属触媒3として、銀(Ag)及びパラジウム(Pd)を有している。一方、触媒構造体2(抄造シートE1、E2の材質)は、アルミナ(Al)及びジルコニア(ZrO)から成るとともに、ジルコニア(ZrO)に対する前記アルミナ(Al)の重量比率が60~90%とされている。 The metal catalyst 3 is made of a metal (schematically indicated by reference numeral 3 in FIG. 6) supported on the laminate E of the catalyst structure 2. In this embodiment, the metal catalyst 3 is silver (Ag). and palladium (Pd). On the other hand, the catalyst structure 2 (the material of the papermaking sheets E1 and E2) is made of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and zirconia (ZrO 2 ), and the weight of the alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) to the zirconia (ZrO 2 ) is The ratio is said to be 60 to 90%.

ここで、本実施形態に係る金属触媒3は、パラジウム(Pd)に対する銀(Ag)の重量比率が50~80%とされている。以下に、パラジウム(Pd)に対する銀(Ag)の重量比率(Ag比(%))が50~80%であることによる技術的優位性について、表1及び図20のグラフに基づいて説明する。 Here, in the metal catalyst 3 according to this embodiment, the weight ratio of silver (Ag) to palladium (Pd) is 50 to 80%. The technical advantages of having a weight ratio of silver (Ag) to palladium (Pd) of 50 to 80% (Ag ratio (%)) will be described below with reference to Table 1 and the graphs of FIG.

セリウム(Ce)及びジルコニア(ZrO)が5:5及び8:2の重量比率で構成される触媒構造体2、及びアルミナ(Al)及びジルコニア(ZrO)が5:5、6:4、7:3、8:2、9:1の重量比率で構成される触媒構造体2の2種類を用意した。そして、セリウム(Ce)及びジルコニア(ZrO)が5:5及び8:2の重量比率で構成される触媒構造体2においては、金属触媒3としてパラジウム(Pd)に対する銀(Ag)の重量比率(Ag比)が100%(銀のみ)、80%、70%、60%、50%、20%、0%(パラジウムのみ)で担持されたものを用意した。 Catalyst structure 2 composed of cerium (Ce) and zirconia ( ZrO2 ) in weight ratios of 5:5 and 8 :2 and alumina ( Al2O3 ) and zirconia ( ZrO2 ) in weight ratios of 5:5,6 : 4, 7:3, 8:2 and 9:1. In the catalyst structure 2 composed of cerium (Ce) and zirconia (ZrO 2 ) at weight ratios of 5:5 and 8:2, the weight ratio of silver (Ag) to palladium (Pd) as the metal catalyst 3 (Ag ratio) of 100% (silver only), 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 20% and 0% (palladium only) were prepared.

同様に、アルミナ(Al)及びジルコニア(ZrO)が8:2の重量比率で構成される触媒構造体2において、金属触媒3としてパラジウム(Pd)に対する銀(Ag)の重量比率(Ag比)が100%(銀のみ)、80%、70%、60%、50%、20%、0%(パラジウムのみ)で担持されものを複数用意した。これら触媒構造体2をそれぞれ加熱して反応開始温度(℃)(金属触媒3が反応して排ガスを浄化可能な温度)を計測したところ、表1で示すような結果となった。 Similarly, in the catalyst structure 2 composed of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and zirconia (ZrO 2 ) at a weight ratio of 8:2, the weight ratio of silver (Ag) to palladium (Pd) as the metal catalyst 3 ( A plurality of supports having Ag ratios of 100% (only silver), 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 20%, and 0% (only palladium) were prepared. When each of these catalyst structures 2 was heated and the reaction initiation temperature (° C.) (the temperature at which the metal catalyst 3 reacted to purify the exhaust gas) was measured, the results shown in Table 1 were obtained.

Figure 2023034799000002

しかるに、表1で示される結果について、図20に示すように、横軸をAg比(%)、縦軸を反応開始温度(℃)としたグラフにプロットしたところ、同図中符号Hで示す範囲のものについて、反応開始温度(℃)が低く、浄化性能が高いことが分かった。すなわち、触媒構造体2がアルミナ(Al)及びジルコニア(ZrO)から成るとともに、触媒構造体2に担持される金属触媒がパラジウム(Pd)に対する銀(Ag)の重量比率が50~80%とされたものは浄化性能が高く、そのうち、ジルコニア(ZrO)に対するアルミナ(Al)の重量比率が60~90%とされた触媒構造体2とすれば、浄化性能が特に高く好ましい。 However, as shown in FIG. 20, the results shown in Table 1 were plotted on a graph with the Ag ratio (%) on the horizontal axis and the reaction initiation temperature (° C.) on the vertical axis. It was found that those within the range had a low reaction start temperature (°C) and high purification performance. That is, the catalyst structure 2 is made of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and zirconia (ZrO 2 ), and the metal catalyst supported on the catalyst structure 2 has a weight ratio of silver (Ag) to palladium (Pd) of 50 to 50. 80 % has a high purification performance . highly desirable.

次に、本実施形態に係る薪ストーブ用排ガス浄化装置1の製造方法について、図15のフローチャートを用いて説明する。

Next, a method for manufacturing the exhaust gas purifier 1 for a wood stove according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 15 .
The exhaust gas purifying apparatus 1 for a wood stove according to the present embodiment includes a papermaking sheet production step S1 for producing a papermaking sheet by a papermaking method, and the papermaking sheet produced in the papermaking sheet production step S1 is folded into a wavy shape and the waves Laminate production step S2 in which a laminated body E is obtained by laminating the papermaking sheets folded into a mold shape in a plurality of stages, and the papermaking sheet produced in the papermaking sheet production step S1 is reinforced by applying a coating material and baking it. A reinforcing member producing step S3 for obtaining the members F1 and F2, and firing in a state in which the reinforcing members F1 and F2 obtained in the reinforcing member producing step S3 are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the laminate E obtained in the laminate producing step S2. a catalyst structure generating step (S4 to S7) for obtaining a catalyst structure 2 by means of the above-mentioned process; and a supporting step S8 for supporting the metal catalyst 3 on the catalyst structure 2 obtained in the catalyst structure generating step (S4 to S7). It is manufactured by going through.

より具体的には、先ず、抄造シートを抄造法により生成する(抄造シート生成工程S1)。本実施形態に適用される抄造法は、湿式抄造法とされており、例えば所定量の水に対してアルミナ(Al)やジルコニア(ZrO)等を含む所定量の繊維及び無機バインダ等を投入して水溶液を作製し、これら含有物を均一に分散させたスラリーの作製、及びそのスラリーに凝集剤を添加したフロックの生成を経た後、当該フロックを抄紙してペーパー状の抄造シートE1、E2を得る。 More specifically, first, a papermaking sheet is produced by a papermaking method (papermaking sheet producing step S1). The papermaking method applied to this embodiment is a wet papermaking method. etc. to prepare an aqueous solution, prepare a slurry in which these contents are uniformly dispersed, and generate flocs by adding a flocculant to the slurry, and then make the flocs to make a paper-like sheet. E1 and E2 are obtained.

また、抄造シート生成工程S1においては、抄造シートE1、E2に加え、これら抄造シートE1、E2より大きい厚さ寸法の抄造シート(補強部材F1、F2)、及び抄造シートE1、E2より小さい厚さ寸法の抄造シートE3を生成する。そして、抄造シートE1を折り曲げ加工した後、抄造シートE2を組み合わせ、図5で示す波型形状に折り曲げられた抄造シートを形成するとともに、これら波型形状に折り曲げられた抄造シートを複数段に積層し、図6に示す積層体Eを生成する(積層体生成工程S2)。 In the papermaking sheet production step S1, in addition to the papermaking sheets E1 and E2, the papermaking sheets (reinforcing members F1 and F2) having a thickness larger than the papermaking sheets E1 and E2, and the papermaking sheets E1 and E2 having a thickness smaller than that of the papermaking sheets E1 and E2. A sized papermaking sheet E3 is produced. After the papermaking sheet E1 is folded, it is combined with the papermaking sheet E2 to form a papermaking sheet folded into a wavy shape shown in FIG. Then, a laminate E shown in FIG. 6 is produced (laminate producing step S2).

一方、抄造シート生成工程S1で生成された抄造シートE1、E2より大きい厚さ寸法の抄造シートは、液体状塗布剤から成るコート材が含侵された後、乾燥及び焼成することにより硬化された剛性の高い補強部材F1、F2とされる(補強部材生成工程S3)。かかる補強部材生成工程S3においては、例えばコート材に抄造シートを浸漬させつつ減圧することにより、抄造シートの表面に加え内部にまでコート材を含侵させることができる。なお、コート材は、粘着性を有するとともに、焼成により硬化する材質とされている。 On the other hand, the paper-made sheets having a thickness greater than the paper-made sheets E1 and E2 produced in the paper-made sheet producing step S1 were hardened by drying and baking after being impregnated with a coating material made of a liquid coating agent. Reinforcing members F1 and F2 having high rigidity are formed (reinforcing member producing step S3).
