Description
本發明係有關一種含羧酸之鎳粉末及含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法。The present invention relates to a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder and a method for producing the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder.
自以往係使用導電金屬粉末作為電子元件的導電材料。在積層陶瓷電容器(Laminated Ceramic Capacitors;MCLL)中,由於陶瓷層與內部電極層的薄層化正在急速地發展中,因此具有形成薄且均勻的厚度之內部電極層的需求。為此,作為積層陶瓷電容器的內部電極用之導電金屬粉末,係具有下列的需求:粒徑分布(particle size distribution)窄,且不含有可能因包夾介電層而接觸至相鄰的內部電極之兩側進而導致電極短路的粗大粒子,並當與有機溶劑等混合來形成糊膏(paste)時,均勻地分散在糊膏中。Conventionally, conductive metal powders have been used as conductive materials for electronic components. In multilayer ceramic capacitors (MCLL), the thinning of the ceramic layer and the internal electrode layer is rapidly progressing, and thus there is a need to form an internal electrode layer with a thin and uniform thickness. Therefore, the conductive metal powder used as the internal electrode of the multilayer ceramic capacitor has the following requirements: the particle size distribution is narrow, and the conductive metal powder does not contain the possibility of contacting the adjacent internal electrode due to the sandwiched dielectric layer. On both sides, the coarse particles, which further lead to short-circuiting of electrodes, are uniformly dispersed in the paste when mixed with an organic solvent or the like to form a paste.
到目前為止,已經使用了針對以各種製造方法所製造的粉末進行分級的方法來作為用於製造所需的粒徑分布之粉末的方法。作為該分級方法,係有例如利用在氣相或液相中之粒子的沉澱速率之差異,根據粒徑的不同來對粉末進行分級的方法。在氣相中進行的分級係稱為乾式分級,而在液相中進行的分級係稱為濕式分級。雖然濕式分級具有優異的分級精度,但需要使用液體作為分散介質(disperse medium),再者,於分級後也需要進行乾燥及粉碎。故相較於此,乾式分級之成本係非常的低。Heretofore, a method of classifying powders produced by various production methods has been used as a method for producing powders of a desired particle size distribution. As this classification method, for example, there is a method of classifying the powder according to the difference in particle size by utilizing the difference in the precipitation rate of the particles in the gas phase or the liquid phase. The classification system performed in the gas phase is called dry classification, and the classification system performed in the liquid phase is called wet classification. Although wet classification has excellent classification accuracy, it is necessary to use a liquid as a dispersion medium, and further, drying and pulverization are also required after classification. Therefore, compared to this, the cost of dry grading is very low.
然而,以往在進行該乾式分級時,由於粉末會附著在分級機的內部各處而阻塞粉末的供給口或配管內部等,因此難以長時間運轉,再者,由於分級精度低,因此具有良率低的問題。However, in the conventional dry classification, it is difficult to operate for a long time because the powder adheres to various parts of the interior of the classifier and blocks the powder supply port and the inside of the piping, etc., and it is difficult to operate for a long time. Moreover, the classification accuracy is low, so there is a good yield. low problem.
作為以解決此類問題作為目的的方法,在發明專利文獻1中,係揭示了將粉體與由乙醇(ethanol)等沸點未滿200°C之醇類所組成的助劑進行混合,一邊使助劑進行氣化一邊將粉體進行乾式分級的方法。As a method aimed at solving such problems,
又在發明專利文獻2中,係揭示了將粉體與由含有10質量%至50質量%的乙醇等醇類之醇類水溶液所組成的助劑進行混合,一邊使助劑進行氣化一邊將粉體進行乾式分級的方法。In Invention Patent Document 2, it is disclosed that powder is mixed with an auxiliary agent composed of an alcohol-based aqueous solution containing alcohols such as ethanol in an amount of 10 to 50% by mass, and the auxiliary agent is vaporized while mixing. A method for dry classification of powders.
又在發明專利文獻3中,係揭示了將由鎳(nickel;Ni)所組成的粉體與由二乙二醇(diethylene glycol)等閃點(flash point)在80°C以上之有機溶劑所組成的助劑進行混合,一邊使助劑進行氣化一邊將粉體進行乾式分級的方法。另外還揭示了將由鎳所組成的粉體與由水所組成的助劑進行混合,一邊使助劑進行氣化一邊將粉體進行乾式分級的方法。In
又在發明專利文獻4中,係揭示了將粉體與作為液體助劑的二乙二醇單甲醚(diethylene glycol monomethyl ether)進行混合來將粉體進行乾式分級的方法。〔先前技術文獻〕 〔發明專利文獻〕 Furthermore, in Invention Patent Document 4, a method of dry classifying the powder by mixing the powder with diethylene glycol monomethyl ether as a liquid auxiliary agent is disclosed.

〔發明所欲解決之課題〕[The problem to be solved by the invention]
然而,本案發明人等在進行了研究時發現了以下問題:例如,雖然透過使乙醇等助劑吸附於粉末來進行乾式分級而變得能夠使分級機長時間運轉,但所得到的粉末中含有大量的粗大粒子,故為了減少該粗大粒子的數量而必須重複多次的分級。另外還發現了以下問題:雖然透過重複多次的分級而有使粗大粒子減少的情形,但由於花費時間及成本而使生產性(productivity)降低,並進而使獲得的粉末之良率顯著地降低。However, the inventors of the present invention discovered the following problem when conducting research. For example, although the classifier can be operated for a long time by adsorbing an auxiliary agent such as ethanol on the powder to perform dry classification, the obtained powder contains a large amount of Therefore, in order to reduce the number of the coarse particles, the classification must be repeated many times. In addition, the following problem was found: Although the number of coarse particles may be reduced by repeating the classification a plurality of times, the productivity is reduced due to the time and cost, and the yield of the obtained powder is also significantly reduced. .
再者,以上述的方式所獲得的粉末係具有難以均勻地分散在與有機溶劑等混合所獲得的糊膏中之情形。In addition, the powder obtained in the above-described manner may be difficult to uniformly disperse in the paste obtained by mixing with an organic solvent or the like.
因此,本發明的目的係在於提供在氣相中的分散性高,且當用於與有機溶劑等混合來形成糊膏時,於該糊膏中的分散性高的含羧酸之鎳粉末及其製造方法。〔解決課題之技術手段〕 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder having high dispersibility in the gas phase and when it is used to form a paste by mixing with an organic solvent or the like, and having high dispersibility in the paste and its manufacturing method.

以下係針對本發明的較佳實施態樣進行詳細說明。 [1] 含羧酸之鎳粉末 首先,針對本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末來進行說明。The following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. [1] Nickel powder containing carboxylic acid First, the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention will be described.
本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末係含有複數個鎳粒子,並於前述鎳粒子的表面具有羧酸者。換言之,本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末係含有在作為母粒子的鎳粒子之表面吸附有羧酸之吸附羧酸鎳粒子者。The carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention contains a plurality of nickel particles and has a carboxylic acid on the surface of the nickel particles. In other words, the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention contains the adsorbed nickel carboxylate particles in which the carboxylic acid is adsorbed on the surface of the nickel particles serving as mother particles.
接著,本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末係透過TG-MS(Thermogravimetry Mass Spectrometer;熱重質譜分析儀)於惰性氛圍下偵測以20°C/min的升溫速度自38°C升溫至600°C時之前述羧酸的分子離子之質量層析圖中的波峰,且將前述羧酸的沸點設定為Tbp [°C]時,前述波峰的峰頂係存在於(Tbp +100)°C以上600°C以下的範圍內,且前述鎳粒子之每1m2 表面積的前述羧酸之含量係在155 μg以上450 μg以下。Next, the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention is detected by TG-MS (Thermogravimetry Mass Spectrometer; thermogravimetric mass spectrometer) in an inert atmosphere from 38°C to 600°C at a heating rate of 20°C/min The peak in the mass chromatogram of the molecular ion of the aforementioned carboxylic acid at C, and when the boiling point of the aforementioned carboxylic acid is set to T bp [°C], the peak top of the aforementioned peak exists at (T bp +100)° C or more and 600°C or less, and the content of the carboxylic acid per 1 m 2 of the surface area of the nickel particles is 155 μg or more and 450 μg or less.
藉由滿足此條件,係可提供在氣相中的分散性高,且當用於與有機溶劑等混合來形成糊膏時,於該糊膏中的分散性高的含羧酸之鎳粉末。另外,藉由像這樣的含羧酸之鎳粉末在氣相中的分散性優異之特性,並透過乾式分級而可適當地去除粗大粒子,又例如透過乾式分級而可以優異的良率來順利地獲得粒徑分布狹窄(sharp)的微粉末。又藉由在含有含羧酸之鎳粉末的糊膏中含羧酸之鎳粉末的分散性優異,而可使使用了該糊膏所形成的塗膜之平滑性變得優異。By satisfying this condition, it is possible to provide a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder that has high dispersibility in the gas phase and is used to form a paste by mixing with an organic solvent or the like. In addition, due to the excellent dispersibility of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder in the gas phase, coarse particles can be appropriately removed through dry classification, and, for example, through dry classification, excellent yields can be achieved. A fine powder with a sharp particle size distribution is obtained. Furthermore, since the dispersibility of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder in the paste containing the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder is excellent, the smoothness of the coating film formed using the paste can be improved.
此外,透過TG-MS所偵測之羧酸的分子離子的質量層析圖中之波峰的峰頂之數值,係可例如根據羧酸在鎳粒子上的吸附形態來進行調整。更具體而言,係透過調整例如羧酸在鎳粒子上的吸附方法、吸附處理的條件、吸附量等,而可適當調整透過TG-MS所偵測之羧酸的分子離子的質量層析圖中之波峰的峰頂之數值。In addition, the value of the peak top of the peak in the mass chromatogram of the molecular ion of the carboxylic acid detected by TG-MS can be adjusted, for example, according to the adsorption form of the carboxylic acid on the nickel particles. More specifically, the mass chromatogram of the molecular ion of the carboxylic acid detected by TG-MS can be appropriately adjusted by adjusting, for example, the adsorption method of the carboxylic acid on the nickel particles, the conditions of the adsorption treatment, and the amount of adsorption. The value of the peak top of the middle wave.
又於本說明書中,粗大粒子係指相對於作為目標的粉末,例如透過如上述的分級所獲得的粉末之體積基準的累積50%粒徑(D50 ),粒徑十分大的粒子,其可設定為例如粒徑為作為目標的粉末之D50 的1.5倍以上之粒子;又可設定為例如作為目標的粉末之D50 的2.0倍以上的粒子;又可設定為例如作為目標的粉末之D50 的2.5倍以上的粒子。In the present specification, coarse particles refer to particles with a very large particle size relative to the target powder, for example, the cumulative 50% particle size (D 50 ) of the volume-based powder obtained by the above-mentioned classification. set, for example less than a target particle diameter of the powder for 1.5 times the D 50 of the particles; can, for example, set to 2.0 times or more as a target 50 of powder particles of D; D in turn set as a target, for example, powder of 2.5 times more particles than 50.
又於本說明書中,有關於體積基準的累積50%粒徑(D50 ),除非另有說明,否則係指利用雷射粒徑分布測定裝置(laser particle size distribution measuring device)所測定的粒徑分布之體積基準的積算分率50%值,其可透過利用了例如雷射繞射/散射型粒徑分布測定裝置(laser diffraction/scattering type particle size distribution measuring device)LA-960(HORIBA公司製)的測定而求得。In this specification, the cumulative 50% particle size (D 50 ) on a volume basis, unless otherwise specified, refers to the particle size measured by a laser particle size distribution measuring device The 50% value of the integrated fraction based on the volume of the distribution can be measured by, for example, a laser diffraction/scattering type particle size distribution measuring device LA-960 (manufactured by HORIBA). obtained from the measurement.
又有關於TG-MS,係可使用例如NETZSCH公司製的STA2500 Regulus作為用於將樣品進行升溫的TG-DTA(Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal Analysis;熱重-示差同步掃描分析儀),並使用日本電子株式會社製的JMS-Q1500GC作為用於將透過樣品的升溫而氣化的物質進行質量分析的MS(Mass Spectrometer;質譜儀)。Regarding TG-MS, for example, STA2500 Regulus manufactured by NETZSCH can be used as TG-DTA (Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal Analysis; Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal Analysis) for heating the sample, and JEOL Ltd. JMS-Q1500GC manufactured by the company is an MS (Mass Spectrometer; mass spectrometer) for mass analysis of a substance vaporized by the temperature rise of the sample.
另外,構成含羧酸之鎳粉末的鎳粒子之每1m2 表面積的羧酸之含量係可透過利用了CS(碳及硫)分析裝置(例如HORIBA公司製的EMIA-320V等)的測定而求得。 In addition, the content of carboxylic acid per 1 m 2 of surface area of the nickel particles constituting the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder can be determined by measurement using a CS (carbon and sulfur) analyzer (for example, EMIA-320V manufactured by HORIBA, etc.). have to.
如上所述,本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末係透過TG-MS的分析而在羧酸的分子離子的質量層析圖中之與羧酸的沸點不同之預定區域((Tbp +100)°C以上600°C以下的範圍)出現波峰。這被認為是由於羧酸係以特定的形態吸附於鎳粒子所致。雖然詳細的機制尚不清楚,但發明人等推測可能是例如由於羧酸係化學吸附在鎳粒子上,故相較於在物理吸附的情形況下,前者吸附地更為牢固,因而在羧酸的沸點+100°C以上的高溫區域出現波峰,進而認為在羧酸以此特定的形態吸附於鎳粒子的同時,羧酸亦以適當的比例吸附在鎳粒子的表面,藉此得以獲得如上述之優異的功效,亦即,提高在氣相中的分散性,且當用於與有機溶劑等混合來形成糊膏時,於該糊膏中的分散性提升。 As described above, the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention is a predetermined region ((T bp +100) different from the boiling point of the carboxylic acid in the mass chromatogram of the molecular ion of the carboxylic acid by TG-MS analysis. range from °C to 600°C) peaks appear. This is considered to be due to the adsorption of the carboxylic acid to the nickel particles in a specific form. Although the detailed mechanism is not clear, the inventors have speculated that, for example, since carboxylic acid is chemically adsorbed on nickel particles, the former is more strongly adsorbed than in the case of physical adsorption. A wave peak appears in the high temperature region above the boiling point of +100°C, and it is considered that while the carboxylic acid is adsorbed on the nickel particles in this specific form, the carboxylic acid is also adsorbed on the surface of the nickel particles in an appropriate proportion, thereby obtaining the above-mentioned Its excellent effect, that is, the dispersibility in the gas phase is improved, and when it is used to form a paste by mixing with an organic solvent or the like, the dispersibility in the paste is improved.
又藉由鎳粒子之每1m2 表面積的羧酸之含量在前述下限值以上,係可使氣相中的含羧酸之鎳粉末的分散性變得十分優異。Furthermore, when the content of the carboxylic acid per 1 m 2 of surface area of the nickel particles is at least the aforementioned lower limit value, the dispersibility of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder in the gas phase can be very excellent.
又藉由鎳粒子之每1m2 表面積的羧酸之含量在前述上限值以下,係可使當用於與有機溶劑等混合來形成糊膏時,於該糊膏中之含羧酸之鎳粉末的分散性變得十分優異。In addition, because the content of carboxylic acid per 1 m 2 of surface area of the nickel particles is below the aforementioned upper limit value, when it is used to form a paste by mixing with an organic solvent or the like, the carboxylic acid-containing nickel in the paste can be obtained. The dispersibility of the powder becomes very excellent.
應當說明的是,在本說明書中之「沸點」,除非另有說明,否則係指在一大氣壓下的沸點,亦即標準沸點。It should be noted that the "boiling point" in this specification, unless otherwise specified, refers to the boiling point at atmospheric pressure, that is, the standard boiling point.
再者,雖然在含羧酸之鎳粉末含有複數種羧酸的情況下,只要至少一種羧酸滿足上述的條件即可,但特別是較佳地為複數種羧酸中之含有率最高的羧酸係滿足上述的條件,更佳地為含羧酸之鎳粉末中所含有的所有種類之羧酸係滿足上述的條件。Furthermore, in the case where the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder contains a plurality of carboxylic acids, at least one of the carboxylic acids may satisfy the above-mentioned conditions, but in particular, the carboxylic acid having the highest content rate among the plurality of carboxylic acids is preferable. The acid system satisfies the above-mentioned conditions, and it is more preferable that all kinds of carboxylic acid systems contained in the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder satisfy the above-mentioned conditions.
如上所述,雖然在本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末中,利用透過如上述之TG-MS的分析所偵測之羧酸的分子離子之質量層析圖中的波峰之峰頂只要存在於(Tbp +100)°C以上600°C以下的範圍內即可,但較佳地係存在於(Tbp +120)°C以上580°C以下的範圍內,更佳地係存在於(Tbp +150)°C以上560°C以下的範圍內,再更佳地係存在於(Tbp +200)°C以上540°C以下的範圍內,最佳地係存在於(Tbp +230)°C以上520°C以下的範圍內。 藉此,前述的功效係更顯著地被發揮。As described above, although in the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention, the peak tops of the peaks in the mass chromatogram of the molecular ions of the carboxylic acid detected by the TG-MS analysis as described above are only present in the (T bp +100) °C or more within a range of 600 °C or less, but preferably (T bp +120) °C or more and 580 °C or less, more preferably (T bp +120) °C or more.

[1-3] 含羧酸之鎳粉末的用途 本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的用途雖然未特別予以限定,但可用作為導電粉末,特別是較佳地用作為導電膏用的導電粉末。由於粉末的分散性高,因此在糊膏中的分散性也容易變高。又特別是本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末在被供給至如後述之分級步驟後,其中,在被供給至乾式分級步驟後,較佳地係用作為導電粉末,更較佳地係用作為導電膏用的導電粉末。又由於本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末係流動性高,且操作性優異,因此在用於各式各樣的用途之情況下皆可容易地進行處理。[1-3] Application of Nickel Powder Containing Carboxylic Acid Although the application of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention is not particularly limited, it can be used as a conductive powder, particularly preferably used as a conductive powder for a conductive paste. Since the dispersibility of the powder is high, the dispersibility in the paste is also likely to be high. In particular, the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention is preferably used as a conductive powder, more preferably as a conductive powder after being supplied to a classification step as described later, and after being supplied to a dry classification step. Conductive powder for conductive paste. Furthermore, since the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention has high fluidity and excellent handleability, it can be easily handled even when it is used in various applications.
透過使本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末供給至如後述之乾式分級步驟,係可順利地獲得平均粒徑小,粒徑分布窄,且幾乎不含粗大粒子的微粉末。像這樣的微粉末係由於相較於分級前之本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末具有更窄的粒徑分布,故可形成平滑性更為優異的塗膜,由此當前述微粉末被使用在內部電極時,能夠形成厚度均勻的電極層。又由於幾乎不含粗大粒子,故可適當防止導電粉末粒子接觸到內部電極兩側時所造成的短路。因此,即使是在需要如此特別高可靠性的用途上,亦可獲得令人充分滿意的功效。藉此,前述微粉末在用於形成積層陶瓷電容器或積層陶瓷電感器(Laminated ceramic inductor)、積層壓電致動器(Laminated piezoelectric actuator)等之積層陶瓷電子元件的內部導體(內部電極)或端子電極(terminal electrode)的情況下,係可更加顯著地發揮如上述的功效。By supplying the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention to a dry classification step as described later, a fine powder having a small average particle size, a narrow particle size distribution, and almost no coarse particles can be obtained smoothly. Such a fine powder system has a narrower particle size distribution than the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention before classification, so it can form a coating film with more excellent smoothness, so when the aforementioned fine powder is used. In the case of an internal electrode, an electrode layer with a uniform thickness can be formed. Furthermore, since there are almost no coarse particles, it is possible to appropriately prevent short circuits caused when the conductive powder particles come into contact with both sides of the internal electrodes. Therefore, even in applications requiring such a particularly high reliability, a sufficiently satisfactory effect can be obtained. Thereby, the aforementioned fine powder is used in the internal conductors (internal electrodes) or terminals of laminated ceramic electronic components for forming laminated ceramic capacitors, laminated ceramic inductors, laminated piezoelectric actuators, and the like. In the case of an electrode (terminal electrode), the above-mentioned effects can be more remarkably exhibited.

[2]含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法 接著係針對本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法進行說明。[2] Manufacturing method of carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder Next, the manufacturing method of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of this invention is demonstrated.
本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法係製造前述本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的方法,其具有使氣體狀態的羧酸接觸分散在氣相中的複數個鎳粒子之集合體的鎳粉末之步驟。The method for producing a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention is a method for producing the aforementioned carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention, which has a method of contacting a gaseous carboxylic acid with an aggregate of a plurality of nickel particles dispersed in a gas phase. Steps for nickel powder.
藉此,係可提供如前述之在氣相中的分散性高,且當用於與有機溶劑等混合來形成糊膏時,於該糊膏中的分散性高的含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法。另外,相較於使氣體狀態的羧酸接觸呈靜置狀態的鎳粉末之情況,由於前者之羧酸的濃度低,並可使羧酸以壓倒性的短時間吸附在鎳粒子的表面,因此在羧酸的消耗量或縮短時間的觀點上也具有益處。Thereby, it is possible to provide a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder having high dispersibility in the gas phase as described above, and when it is used to form a paste by mixing with an organic solvent or the like, and having a high dispersibility in the paste. Production method. In addition, compared with the case where the carboxylic acid in the gas state is brought into contact with the nickel powder in the stationary state, the concentration of the carboxylic acid in the former is low, and the carboxylic acid can be adsorbed on the surface of the nickel particles in an overwhelmingly short time. There are also benefits from the viewpoint of consumption of carboxylic acid or shortening of time.
雖然本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法只要具有使氣體狀態的羧酸接觸分散在氣相中的鎳粉末之步驟即可,但較佳地係例如使複數個鎳粒子之集合體的鎳粉末分散於含有呈氣體狀態的羧酸之氛圍中。The method for producing a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention only needs to include the step of bringing the carboxylic acid in a gaseous state into contact with the nickel powder dispersed in the gas phase. Nickel powder is dispersed in an atmosphere containing carboxylic acid in gaseous state.
又在本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法中,亦可透過在生成時於氣相中呈分散狀態之前述鎳粉末在該氣相中呈分散的狀態下,於該氣相中供給氣體狀態的前述羧酸,來進行使氣體狀態的羧酸接觸鎳粉末的步驟。Furthermore, in the method for producing a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention, the nickel powder which is dispersed in the gas phase at the time of generation may be supplied in the gas phase in a state where the nickel powder is dispersed in the gas phase. The above-mentioned carboxylic acid in a gaseous state is used to carry out the step of contacting the carboxylic acid in a gaseous state with the nickel powder.
藉此,由於在氣相中生成鎳粉末後,透過在回收該鎳粉末之前送入羧酸氣體,可使羧酸氣體接觸分散狀態更佳的鎳粉末,故可使羧酸吸附地更為均勻。Thereby, after the nickel powder is formed in the gas phase, by feeding the carboxylic acid gas before recovering the nickel powder, the carboxylic acid gas can be brought into contact with the nickel powder with a better dispersion state, so that the carboxylic acid can be adsorbed more uniformly .
作為在生成時於氣相中呈分散狀態之前述鎳粉末的生成方法,係可列舉例如化學氣相沉積法、物理氣相沉積法等氣相法,或是霧化法、噴霧熱分解法等。特別是透過利用氣相法或噴霧熱分解法來生成前述鎳粉末時,係可更容易地將前述鎳粉末的粒徑調整成較佳的條件。As a method for producing the nickel powder which is dispersed in the gas phase at the time of production, for example, gas phase methods such as chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition, atomization methods, spray thermal decomposition methods, and the like are exemplified. . In particular, when the nickel powder is produced by the gas phase method or the spray thermal decomposition method, the particle size of the nickel powder can be adjusted more easily to preferable conditions.
此外,在本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的製造方法中,只要具有使氣體狀態的羧酸接觸分散在氣相中的鎳粉末之步驟即可,並不限定於使氣體狀態的羧酸接觸剛生成的鎳粉末,亦可例如使氣體狀態的羧酸接觸回收過一次的鎳粉末。In addition, the method for producing a carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention is not limited to bringing the carboxylic acid in a gaseous state into contact with the nickel powder dispersed in the gaseous phase as long as it has a step of bringing it into contact with the carboxylic acid in a gaseous state. The nickel powder just produced may be, for example, the nickel powder recovered once by contacting a gaseous carboxylic acid.
[3] 使用了本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的微粉末之製造方法 接著,針對使用了前述之本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末的微粉末之製造方法進行說明。[3] Method for producing fine powder using carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention Next, the manufacturing method of the fine powder using the carboxylic acid containing nickel powder of this invention mentioned above is demonstrated.
本實施態樣之微粉末的製造方法係體積基準的累積50%粒徑D50 在0.01 μm以上5.0 μm以下的範圍內之微粉末的製造方法,其具有在氣相中將D50 超過0.01 μm且在10 μm以下的含羧酸之鎳粉末進行分散,以獲得被分級之被分級粉末的被分級粉末生成步驟;以及將前述被分級粉末進行乾式分級的乾式分級步驟。The manufacturing method of the present embodiment aspect of the fine powder-based cumulative 50% particle diameter D 50 on a volume basis in the above method of manufacturing the range of 0.01 μm 5.0 [mu] m or less of fine powder having a D 50 exceeds the vapor in the 0.01 μm And the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of 10 μm or less is dispersed to obtain a classified powder to be classified into a classified powder generating step; and a dry classification step of dry classifying the aforementioned classified powder.
藉此,係得以提供能夠以高生產性來製造粗大粒子的個數極少,且體積基準的累積50%粒徑D50 在0.01 μm以上5.0 μm以下的範圍內之微粉末的微粉末之製造方法。Whereby, to provide a system capable of producing with high productivity extremely small number of coarse particles, and the volume-based cumulative 50% particle diameter D 50 in the above method for producing fine powder of 0.01 μm fine powder in the range of 5.0 [mu] m or less .
能夠獲得像這樣優異的功效係被認為是因為以下的因素。亦即,相較於使乙醇等助劑吸附於粉末來進行乾式分級的情況,藉由使用以預定的條件使羧酸吸附在鎳粒子的含羧酸之鎳粉末,係得以提升粉末在氣相中的分散性,並提高分級精度。藉此,能夠極度地減少所製造的微粉末中所含有的粗大粒子的個數。又藉此能夠減少分級次數,以提升生產性。It is considered that such excellent efficacy can be obtained because of the following factors. That is, compared with the case of performing dry classification by adsorbing auxiliaries such as ethanol to the powder, by using the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder in which the carboxylic acid is adsorbed to the nickel particles under predetermined conditions, it is possible to improve the performance of the powder in the gas phase. dispersibility and improve classification accuracy. Thereby, the number of coarse particles contained in the produced fine powder can be extremely reduced. In addition, the number of classifications can be reduced to improve productivity.
再者,以上述的方式所獲得的微粉末係當用於與有機溶劑等混合來形成糊膏時,於該糊膏中的分散性會變得特別優異。因此可使使用了該糊膏所形成的塗膜之平滑性變得優異。Furthermore, when the fine powder obtained in the above-described manner is used to form a paste by mixing with an organic solvent or the like, the dispersibility in the paste is particularly excellent. Therefore, the smoothness of the coating film formed using this paste can be excellent.
另外,藉由使用本發明的含羧酸之鎳粉末,係使粉末的流動性提高,且粉末在分級機內的附著減少,而使良率提升。又藉由在分級機內的附著減少,由於分級機的粉末之供給口或配管內部等會變得不易阻塞,因此分級機的運轉時間變長,而提升了生產性。In addition, by using the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder of the present invention, the fluidity of the powder is improved, the adhesion of the powder in the classifier is reduced, and the yield is improved. In addition, since the adhesion in the classifier is reduced, the powder supply port and the inside of the piping of the classifier are less likely to be blocked, so that the operation time of the classifier becomes longer, and the productivity is improved.
又在本實施態樣中,由於係使用預先以預定的條件使羧酸吸附於鎳粒子的含羧酸之鎳粉末,因此有利於簡化及小型化用於微粉末的製造之裝置的結構。又由於係使用預先以預定的條件使羧酸吸附於鎳粒子的含羧酸之鎳粉末,故相較於將未吸附有羧酸之鎳粉末加入分級機中的情況,前者之粉末的流動性更高,且更不易發生在分級機內的附著,使得粉末在分級機內的移動也更加順暢。Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder in which the carboxylic acid is adsorbed to the nickel particles under predetermined conditions is used, it is advantageous to simplify and miniaturize the structure of the apparatus for producing the fine powder. Furthermore, since the nickel powder containing carboxylic acid is used in which the carboxylic acid is adsorbed to the nickel particles under predetermined conditions in advance, the fluidity of the former powder is higher than that of adding the nickel powder without adsorbed carboxylic acid into the classifier. Higher and less prone to adhesion in the classifier, making the powder move more smoothly in the classifier.
又在本說明書中,分級係指根據粉末的大小而將相對較大的粒子分成一組(換言之係粗粉),將相對較小的粒子分成一組(換言之係微粉)之操作。具體而言,在本說明書中,微粉係指體積基準的累積50%粒徑D50 在0.01 μm以上5.0 μm以下的範圍內之粒子的群組,粗粉係指D50 大於微粉的粒子之群組。Also in this specification, classification refers to an operation of dividing relatively large particles into a group (in other words, coarse powder) and relatively small particles into a group (in other words, fine powder) according to the size of the powder. Specifically, in the present specification, means the volume-based powder 50% cumulative particle diameter D 50 0.01 μm or more groups of particles in the range of 5.0 [mu] m or less, the coarse powder D 50 is greater than the mean of the group of fine powder particles Group.

在分級室10中,係藉由使二次空氣自導葉6流入分級室10內而使氣流在分級室10中渦旋,並自分級室10的上部中央進行排氣。藉由透過此氣流的渦漩而作用之向外的離心力與向中心移動之氣體的流動,而將固氣混合流體中的含羧酸之鎳粉末分離成粗粉及微粉。In the
亦即,粗粉係透過氣流的渦漩所產生之向外的離心力在分級室10內移動至徑向外側,並從分級室10的下部外圍之粗粉排出口8被回收。另一方面,微粉係透過向中心移動之氣體的流動在分級室10內移動至徑向內側,並從分級室10的上部中央之微粉排出口7被回收。That is, the coarse powder is moved radially outward in the classifying
微粉排出口7係連接有未圖示之吸式幫浦(suction pump),微粉係與分級室10內的空氣(排氣)一同被排出及回收。The fine
被分級粉末生成步驟係對應於在分散區域11中執行的步驟,乾式分級步驟係對應於在分級室(分級區域)10中執行的步驟。
亦即,於分散區域11中呈被分散的狀態之含羧酸之鎳粉末,換言之,被導入分級室10的含羧酸之鎳粉末係本說明書所稱之被分級粉末。The classified powder generation step corresponds to the step performed in the
此外,雖然在上述的說明中係列舉了利用渦漩氣流所產生的離心力來進行分級之氣流式分級機的示例來進行了說明,但針對分級機的分級方式並未特別予以限定。亦可是例如:利用轉子(rotor)的旋轉所產生之離心力來進行分級的方式,或是利用重力來進行分級的方式,亦或是利用慣性力來進行分級的方式。Further, in the above description, an example of an air-flow classifier for classifying using centrifugal force generated by a vortex airflow has been described in series, but the classification method of the classifier is not particularly limited. For example, a method of classifying using centrifugal force generated by the rotation of a rotor, a method of classifying using gravity, or a method of classifying using inertial force may also be used.
又在本發明中,被分級粉末生成步驟及乾式分級步驟係不限定於使用同一裝置進行的情況,亦可以各自使用個別的裝置來進行。亦即,也可在利用分散機將含羧酸之鎳粉末進行分散並獲得被分級粉末之後,再利用乾式分級機將被分級粉末進行分級。Furthermore, in the present invention, the generation step of the powder to be classified and the dry classification step are not limited to the case of using the same apparatus, and may be performed using separate apparatuses. That is, after dispersing the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder with a disperser to obtain a powder to be classified, the powder to be classified may be classified with a dry classifier.
[3-2] 被分級粉末生成步驟 在被分級粉末生成步驟中,係獲得含羧酸之鎳粉末在氣相中分散所成之被分級粉末。[3-2] Steps for generating classified powder In the generation step of the classified powder, the classified powder obtained by dispersing the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder in the gas phase is obtained.
雖然將含羧酸之鎳粉末供給至分級機的速度,亦即例如在圖1所示之分級機1中,含羧酸之鎳粉末自導入口4向分散區域11內的供給速度也取決於分級機的大小(容量),但較佳地在1 kg/小時以上20 kg/小時以下,更較佳地在3 kg/小時以上15 kg/小時以下,再更佳地在5 kg/小時以上12 kg/小時以下。Although the speed of supplying the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder to the classifier, that is, for example, in the
藉此,在含羧酸之鎳粉末的分散性變得更優異的同時,亦可使微粉末的生產性變得更優異。Thereby, while the dispersibility of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder becomes more excellent, the productivity of the fine powder can also become more excellent.
分散時之供給分散壓力,亦即例如在圖1所示的分級機1中,從空氣噴嘴5向分散區域11內所噴射的分散空氣的壓力雖然未特別予以限定,但較佳地在0.2 MPa以上1.0 MPa以下,更佳地在0.4 MPa以上0.8 MPa以下,再更佳地在0.5 MPa以上0.7 MPa以下。The supply dispersion pressure during dispersion, that is, for example, in the
藉此,在含羧酸之鎳粉末的分散性變得更優異的同時,亦可使微粉末的生產性變得更優異。Thereby, while the dispersibility of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder becomes more excellent, the productivity of the fine powder can also become more excellent.
[3-2] 乾式分級步驟 於乾式分級步驟中,係將在被分級粉末生成步驟中所獲得的被分級粉末進行乾式分級。[3-2] Dry classification step In the dry classification step, the classified powder obtained in the classified powder generation step is dry classified.
由於被分級粉末係在氣相中適當地被分散,因此提升了乾式分級步驟的分級精度。藉此,能夠使所製造的微粉末中所含有的粗大粒子之個數變得極少。再者,藉由提升分級精度,由於可使分級次數變少,因而提升了生產性。Since the powder to be classified is appropriately dispersed in the gas phase, the classification accuracy of the dry classification step is improved. Thereby, the number of coarse particles contained in the produced fine powder can be extremely reduced. Furthermore, by improving the classification accuracy, the number of times of classification can be reduced, thereby improving productivity.
又藉由被分級粉末的流動性提高,使被分級粉末在分級機內的附著減少,因而提升了良率。又藉由在分級機內的附著減少,由於分級機的粉末之供給口或配管內部等會變得不易阻塞,因此分級機的運轉時間變長,而提升了生產性。In addition, by improving the fluidity of the powder to be classified, the adhesion of the powder to be classified in the classifier is reduced, thereby improving the yield. In addition, since the adhesion in the classifier is reduced, the powder supply port and the inside of the piping of the classifier are less likely to be blocked, so that the operation time of the classifier becomes longer, and the productivity is improved.
藉此,能夠以高生產性來製造粗大粒子的個數極少之微粉末。Thereby, a fine powder with a very small number of coarse particles can be produced with high productivity.
進行乾式分級步驟的氣相溫度雖然未特別予以限定,但較佳地在60°C以上300°C以下,更佳地在100°C以上250°C以下,再更佳地在150°C以上200°C以下。Although the gas phase temperature for carrying out the dry classification step is not particularly limited, it is preferably above 60°C and below 300°C, more preferably above 100°C and below 250°C, and more preferably above 150°C Below 200°C.
藉此,在更有效地防止因熱所導致之粒子的變形或粒子的組成材料之變質等的問題之同時,由於氣流的速度會提高而提高了離心力,又防止了水蒸氣在粒子上之附著,因此可進一步提高分級精度。另外,還可進一步提升生產性。再者,還可使微粉末中的粗大粒子之個數變得特別少。In this way, problems such as deformation of the particles due to heat and deterioration of the constituent materials of the particles are more effectively prevented, and the centrifugal force is increased due to the increase in the speed of the airflow, and the adhesion of water vapor to the particles is prevented. , so the classification accuracy can be further improved. In addition, productivity can be further improved. Furthermore, the number of coarse particles in the fine powder can be made extremely small.
進行乾式分級步驟時之抽風量,亦即例如在圖1所示的分級機1中,被連接於微粉排出口7之吸式幫浦所產生的抽風量雖然未特別予以限定,但較佳地在5.0 m3
/分鐘以上30 m3
/分鐘以下,更佳地在6.0 m3
/分鐘以上20 m3
/分鐘以下,再更佳地在7.0 m3
/分鐘以上9.0 m3
/分鐘以下。
藉此,係可更有效地進行被分級粉末的分級。The air volume when the dry classification step is performed, that is, for example, in the
進行乾式分級的抽吸壓力,亦即例如在圖1所示的分級機1中,被連接於微粉排出口7之吸式幫浦所產生的抽吸壓力雖然未特別予以限定,但較佳地在-60 kPa以上-5 kPa以下,更佳地在-50 kPa以上-10 kPa以下,再更佳地在-40 kPa以上-15 kPa以下。
藉此,係可更適切地進行被分級粉末的分級。The suction pressure for dry classification, that is, for example, in the
藉由將被分級粉末進行乾式分級,被分級粉末係被分級成微粉與粗粉。被分級粉末係被分級成例如體積基準的累積50%粒徑D50 在0.01 μm以上5.0 μm以下的範圍內之微粉,以及D50 大於微粉之粗粉。其中,係將微粉作為上述的微粉末來回收。By dry classifying the powder to be classified, the powder to be classified is classified into fine powder and coarse powder. Graded based powder is classified into a fine powder in the range of, for example, a volume-based cumulative 50% particle diameter D 50 of more than 0.01 μm 5.0 μm or less, the fine powder and a coarse powder of greater than D 50. Among them, the fine powder is recovered as the above-mentioned fine powder.
以上述方式可製造體積基準的累積50%粒徑D50 在0.01 μm以上5.0 μm以下的範圍內之微粉末。In the above-described embodiment can be manufactured cumulative volume-based 50% particle diameter D 50 of fine powder in the range of more than 0.01 μm 5.0 μm or less of.
以此方式所製造的微粉末之粗大粒子的個數極少。又藉由在微粉末上係以較佳的狀態吸附有羧酸,故亦防止了二次凝聚。The number of coarse particles of the fine powder produced in this way is extremely small. Furthermore, since the carboxylic acid is adsorbed on the fine powder in a better state, secondary aggregation is also prevented.
更進一步地,根據上述方法,係由於分級精度提高,故可減少分級次數。另外,被分級粉末在分級機內的附著會減少。藉此提升了良率。再者,藉由在分級機內的附著減少,由於分級機的粉末之供給口或配管內部等會變得不易阻塞,因此分級機的運轉時間變長,而提升了生產性。Furthermore, according to the above-mentioned method, since the classification accuracy is improved, the number of classifications can be reduced. In addition, the adhesion of the powder to be classified in the classifier is reduced. This improves the yield. Furthermore, since the adhesion in the classifier is reduced, the powder supply port of the classifier and the inside of the piping are less likely to be clogged, so that the operation time of the classifier becomes longer, and the productivity is improved.
此外,雖然乾式分級步驟可以只進行一次,但亦可重複複數次。 藉此,係可進一步提高分級精度。Furthermore, although the dry classification step may be performed only once, it may be repeated a plurality of times. Thereby, the classification accuracy can be further improved.
乾式分級步驟中之微粉末的良率雖然未特別予以限定,但較佳地在80%以上,更佳地在81%以上,再更佳地在82%以上,最佳地在83%以上。 藉此,係使本發明的功效更為顯著。Although the yield of the fine powder in the dry classification step is not particularly limited, it is preferably above 80%, more preferably above 81%, still more preferably above 82%, and most preferably above 83%. Thereby, the effect of the present invention is made more remarkable.
此外,於本說明書中,乾式分級步驟中之微粉末的良率係根據分級前的粉末重量(亦即含羧酸之鎳粉末的重量),以及分級後的粉末重量(亦即微粉末的重量)藉由以下公式所求得的數值: 良率(%)=(分級後的粉末重量/分級前的粉末重量)×100In addition, in this specification, the yield of the fine powder in the dry classification step is based on the weight of the powder before classification (that is, the weight of the carboxylic acid-containing nickel powder), and the weight of the powder after classification (that is, the weight of the fine powder). ) obtained by the following formula: Yield (%)=(Powder weight after classification/Powder weight before classification)×100
透過上述的本發明之方法所製造的微粉末雖然只要體積基準的累積50%粒徑D50 在0.01 μm以上5.0 μm以下的範圍內即可,但微粉末的D50 係較佳地在0.03 μm以上2.0 μm以下,更佳地在0.05 μm以上1.0 μm以下,再更佳地在0.10 μm以上0.60 μm以下。Through the above-described fine powder of the process of the present invention, although produced as long as the volume-based cumulative 50% particle size D 50 in the range of more than 0.01 μm to 5.0 [mu] m or less, the fine powder is preferably based on D 50 0.03 μm Not less than 2.0 μm, more preferably not less than 0.05 μm and not more than 1.0 μm, still more preferably not less than 0.10 μm and not more than 0.60 μm.
藉此係得以獲得具有更理想的粒徑分布之微粉末。又於習知技術中,當D50 為此範圍內的數值時,粗大粒子容易成為問題,再者粗大粒子所致使的不良影響特別容易發生。相較於此,於本發明中,即使當D50 為此範圍內的數值時,也能夠更有效地防止如上述的問題之發生。亦即,當微粉末的D50 為前述範圍內的數值時,本發明所產生的功效係更為顯著地被發揮。Thereby, a fine powder with a more ideal particle size distribution can be obtained. And in the conventional art, when the value within the range of D 50 For this reason, the problem tends to be coarse particles, resulting in the addition of coarse particles particularly prone to adverse effects. In contrast to this, in the present invention, even when D 50 is within this range, the above-mentioned problems can be prevented more effectively. That is, when D 50 of fine powder values within the aforementioned range, the effectiveness of the present invention is based is generated to play a more significant manner.
有關透過上述本發明的方法所製造的微粉末,在將利用雷射粒徑分布測定裝置所測定的粒徑分布之體積基準的積算分率10%值設定為D10 [μm],將積算分率50%值設定為D50 [μm],且將積算分率90%值設定為D90 [μm]時之(D90 -D10 )/D50 的值,係較佳地在0.30以上0.90以下,更佳地在0.35以上0.80以下,再更佳地在0.40以上0.75以下。Regarding the fine powder produced by the method of the present invention described above, the value of the integrated fraction of the particle size distribution measured by the laser particle size distribution measuring apparatus based on the volume of 10% is set to D 10 [μm], and the integrated fraction is set to D 10 [μm]. The value of (D 90 -D 10 )/D 50 when the 50% rate value is set to D 50 [μm], and the 90% value of the integration rate is set to D 90 [μm], is preferably 0.30 or more and 0.90 Hereinafter, it is more preferably 0.35 or more and 0.80 or less, and still more preferably 0.40 or more and 0.75 or less.
(D90 -D10 )/D50 係表示粒徑分布的均勻性之指標,當(D90 -D10 )/D50 的值越小,則粒徑分布越窄,也就表示粒徑更為均勻。(D 90 -D 10 )/D 50 is an index indicating the uniformity of particle size distribution. When the value of (D 90 -D 10 )/D 50 is smaller, the particle size distribution is narrower, which means that the particle size is smaller. to be uniform.
藉此,微粉末之粒徑變得更均勻,係適用於各種用途中。Thereby, the particle size of the fine powder becomes more uniform, and it is suitable for various applications.
又在微粉末的製造方法中,透過如以下的測定所求得之粗大粒子的個數,較佳地在30個以下,更佳地在25個以下,再更佳地在20個以下。Furthermore, in the method for producing the fine powder, the number of coarse particles determined by the following measurement is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 25 or less, and still more preferably 20 or less.
藉此,得以更有效地防止微粉末中含有粗大粒子所引起的各種問題之發生。Thereby, the occurrence of various problems caused by the inclusion of coarse particles in the fine powder can be prevented more effectively.
上述的粗大粒子之個數的測定係可例如以下述的方式來進行。 首先,將1.0 g的微粉末與20 mL的乙醇混合後,利用超音波清洗機(例如本田電子株式會社製,W-113)進行1分鐘的處理,以製備分散液。自以此方式製備的分散液中秤取30 μL,且在鋁製樣品台上進行滴液,並使其乾燥以去除分散介質,藉此製備測定用樣品。利用掃描式電子顯微鏡(scanning electron microscope; SEM)(例如Hitachi High-Tech Corporation製,SU-1510),並以10000倍的倍率對該測定用樣品進行50視野(visual field)的觀察。求得微粉末之具有體積基準的累積50%粒徑D50 之1.5倍以上的粒徑之粒子的總數,並將該數值作為粗大粒子的個數。The measurement of the number of the above-mentioned coarse particles can be performed, for example, in the following manner. First, 1.0 g of fine powder was mixed with 20 mL of ethanol, and then treated with an ultrasonic cleaner (for example, W-113, manufactured by Honda Electronics Co., Ltd.) for 1 minute to prepare a dispersion. From the dispersion liquid prepared in this way, 30 μL was weighed, dripped on an aluminum sample stage, and dried to remove the dispersion medium, thereby preparing a sample for measurement. This measurement sample was observed with a 50-visual field at a magnification of 10,000 times using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (for example, SU-1510 manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation).
