Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-212270 discloses that a fatty acid is added to a mixed aqueous solution of a silver nitrate solution and formalin in an amount of 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the amount of precipitated silver, followed by stirring. A method for depositing silver powder is disclosed, and it is described that when silver fine particles are precipitated by a reduction reaction, a fine and dispersed silver powder can be obtained by coating the silver fine particles with a fatty acid. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-243105 discloses a method for producing silver fine particles by reducing an ammoniacal silver nitrate complex solution using a reducing agent in a hydrophobic reaction tank. By adding, a method of obtaining monodispersed silver fine particles is disclosed, and the reason for using a hydrophobic reaction tank is that, in the case of hydrophilicity, the width of the particle size distribution that is aggregated because the precipitation reaction occurs on the wall surface of the container is wide.

However, some of such prior arts involve a method of adding a surfactant, a fatty acid, an amine or the like to a reaction solution.
JP-A-9-113754 and JP-A-61-24310
No. 5, JP-A-61-276904 to JP-A-61-276907, the dispersing effect is insufficient due to the pH of the reaction solution or coexisting ions depending on the type of surfactant used. Alternatively, the effect may not be exhibited, the types of surfactants that can be used are limited, and it is difficult to control the strict amount of coating on the surface of silver powder. However, when a large amount of fatty acid is added, an unreduced reaction occurs, or the dispersant is limited to fatty acids.
In the case of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-54661, the specific surface area is adjusted by adding an amine, and there is a problem that silver powder having good dispersibility cannot be obtained. Therefore, the object of the present invention is that, unlike the conventional method for producing a silver powder in which a dispersant is added to a reaction solution before reduction, an unreduction reaction does not occur depending on the amount added, and the type and amount of the dispersant are not limited. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing silver powder from which silver powder having excellent dispersibility can be obtained, and a silver powder obtained by the method.

The reducing agent is not a problem as long as it is a reducing agent used in a known method for producing silver powder by utilizing an oxidation-reduction reaction in an aqueous solution.

Therefore, a substance which decomposes when used as an aqueous solution at the time of use requires a treatment such as adjusting the solution pH to an alkaline side. About the temperature at the time of reduction
It is desirable to carry out in a temperature range of 80 ° C. Regarding the method of adding the reducing agent, an aqueous solution containing the reducing agent is added at a rate of 1 equivalent / minute or more, or a reaction equivalent of the reducing agent is added within 1 minute to the entire reaction system in order to prevent aggregation of silver powder. To do. As long as the size of the aqueous reaction system to which the reducing agent is added is as large as the size of the reaction tank used in actual operation,
It was confirmed that there was no need to strictly change the addition rate depending on the size of the reaction system, and that the addition at a rate of 1 equivalent / min or more was effective. The reason for this operation is not clear, but by adding the reducing agent in a short time, reductive precipitation on the silver particles occurs at a stroke, and the reduction reaction is completed in a short time, resulting in the aggregation of nuclei generated. It is considered that the dispersibility is difficult to improve. In the case of reduction, the reaction solution is preferably stirred so that the reaction is completed in a shorter time.

The aqueous solution containing silver powder obtained by reduction and precipitation is filtered and washed with water to form a wet cake of silver powder having a water content of 20 to 80%. There is no problem if the method of filtration is a method used for solid-liquid separation. For example, a centrifugal filter,
Filter press, Buchner funnel, etc. The reason why the water content of the wet cake is limited to 20 to 80% is that if the water content is less than 20%, the obtained cake becomes hard and the disintegration in the subsequent step becomes inefficient, and the content exceeds 80%. However, this is because the efficiency of the subsequent disintegration decreases. Silver powder with excellent dispersibility can be obtained by passing it through the step of pulverization by the wet cake mixer thus obtained. The dispersing agent may or may not be added, but by adding and mixing the dispersing agent, the dispersing effect increases, and more preferable results can be obtained.

There is no particular problem for the method of pasting if it is carried out according to a known example. Here, a thick-film silver paste used for forming a conductor pattern such as a hybrid IC is taken as an example. First of all, it is a vehicle used for paste, but in general, various kinds of cellulose, acrylic resin, phenol resin, alkyd resin, etc.
