Definitions
- the present invention concerns a pollution control element-retaining or mounting member, and more particularly the present invention concerns a retaining or mounting member for a pollution control element such as a catalyst carrier and a filter element.
- the present invention relates to a catalyst carrier-retaining or mounting member that shows good operability during inserting the catalyst carrier-mounting member in a state of being wound around a catalyst carrier into a casing of the catalytic converter, that is excellent in heat resistance, an area pressure retaining property and erosion resistance, and also that in spite of reduction of the impregnation amount of the organic binder used, reduction of the aerial pressure and shedding of broken particles, fibers and others of the fibers can be simultaneously prevented.
- the present invention concerns a pollution control device provided with such a pollution control element-mounting member, more particularly, a catalytic converter having inserted therein such a catalyst carrier-mounting member and an exhaust cleaning device provided with a filter element-retaining or mounting member.
- the catalytic converter of the present invention can be advantageously used for treating exhaust gases of internal combustion engines of, for example, power generators, automobiles and other vehicles.
- a ceramic catalytic converter includes, for example, a honeycomb-shaped ceramic catalyst carrier (also termed “catalyst element”) contained within a metal casing, namely, a housing.

- a mounting and heat insulating member typically formed from inorganic fibers, organic fibers and/or generally a liquid or pasty organic binder in combination.
- the catalytic converter can realize the desired functions over a long period of time. Further, if it is impregnated into or coated over the inorganic fibers, the organic binder can prevent shedding or scattering of the broken particles, powders and the like (hereinafter, also referred to as “fiber pieces”) of the inorganic fibers, and also it can prevent deformation of the catalyst carrier when the catalyst carrier is inserted (this operation is termed “canning”) into a casing.

Use of this production process can manifest effective catalytic action at relatively high temperature.
- the catalyst carrier-mounting member of the invention is arranged between the metal casing and the catalyst element.
- the catalyst carrier-mounting member is composed of a mat, blanket or the like of a fiber material having the predetermined thickness.
- the catalyst carrier-mounting member may be formed from one member, or it may be formed from two or more members through lamination or bonding of the members. It is usually advantageous for the catalyst carrier-mounting member to have a form such as a mat or a blanket, in view of the handling property, however, the catalyst carrier-mounting member may optionally have other forms.
- the size of the catalyst carrier-mounting member can be varied in a wide range according to its use and the like.
- the catalyst carrier- mounting member when a mat-shaped catalyst carrier- mounting member is inserted into an automotive catalytic converter, the catalyst carrier- mounting member usually has a mat thickness of from about 1.5 to 15 mm, a width of from about 200 to 500 mm, and a length of from about 100 to 1,500 mm.
- a catalyst carrier-mounting member may optionally be cut with scissors, a cutter or the like to obtain a desired shape and size.
- the catalyst carrier-mounting member is preferably formed from an inorganic fiber material, more preferably from an inorganic fiber material containing alumina fibers.

- the inorganic fibers have an average diameter greater than about 7 ⁇ m, the catalyst carrier-mounting member tends to be hardly formed.
- the inorganic fibers suitably have an average length of from about 0.5 to 50 mm.
- the average length of the inorganic fibers is less than about 0.5 mm, the effect of forming the catalyst carrier-mounting member for which the inorganic fibers are used cannot be achieved.
- the length exceeds about 50 mm, it becomes difficult to produce the catalyst carrier-mounting member in the smooth process, because the handling property of the inorganic fibers becomes poor.
- an alumina fiber mat mainly composed of a laminated sheet of alumina fibers can also be used advantageously.
- the average length of the alumina fibers is usually from about 20 to 200 mm, and the thickness (average diameter) of the fibers is usually from about 1 to 40 ⁇ m.
- the alumina fibers preferably have a mullite composition having an Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 weight ratio of from about 70/30 to 74/26.
- the above-described alumina fiber mat can be produced from a stock spinning solution composed of a mixture of, for example, an alumina source such as aluminum oxychloride, a silica source such as silica sol, an organic binder such as poly(vinyl alcohol) and water. That is, a spun aluminum fiber precursor is laminated to form a sheet, which is then preferably needle punched. The punched sheet is usually baked at temperatures as high as from about 1,000 to 1,300° C.
- Needle punching mentioned above usually has the effect of orienting part of the fibers in the direction vertical to the laminated surface. Part of the alumina fiber precursor within the sheet therefore penetrates the sheet and is oriented in the vertical direction to firmly tie the sheet. As a result, the bulk specific gravity of the sheet is increased, and delamination and shifts among the layers are prevented.
- the needle punching density can be varied widely, it is usually from about 1 to 50 punches/cm 2 . The thickness, bulk specific gravity and strength of the mat are adjusted by the needle punching density.
- ceramic fibers other than the alumina fibers and inorganic expansive materials may be optionally added to the alumina fibers.

- the dry process can be conducted fundamentally by using any of the well-known and conventional methods. Typically, the drying process utilizing needle punching etc, is advantageous as explained above.

- acrylic latex binders having different Tg it becomes possible to obtain the remarkable actions and functions which could not be expected in the conventional catalyst carrier-mounting members impregnated with an acrylic latex.
- use of the acrylic latex having a relatively low Tg enables to effectively prevent shedding of the fiber pieces
- use of the acrylic latex having a relatively high Tg enables to prevent reduction of the area pressure or compression force of the catalyst carrier-mounting member, thereby ensuring a stable maintenance of the increased area pressure.
- a problem of the reduction of the area pressure can be solved by using a high Tg acrylic latex in combination with the low Tg acrylic latex, while it is generally recognized in the conventional catalyst carrier-mounting members that an area pressure of the members can be reduced if the acrylic latex is deeply impregnated into about a center portion of the catalyst carrier-mounting member for the purpose of preventing shedding of the fiber pieces.
- the acrylic latex to be impregnated in the member may include a wide variety of acrylic latex, as long as they can provide the expected functions and effects described above, and they do not adversely affect on the characteristics and others of the catalyst carrier-mounting member.
- the commercially available acrylic latex may be used as obtained, or it may be used after optional modification depending upon the use object of the present invention.
- Suitable acrylic latex includes a colloidal dispersion prepared by dispersing an acrylic latex in a water or other medium.
- the acrylic latex used generally has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about ⁇ 50 to 50° C.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- the most suitable combination of the high Tg acrylic latex and the low Tg acrylic latex can be selected and determined depending upon factors such as constitution of the catalyst carrier-mounting member and the characteristics required in the catalytic converter.
- the present inventors have found that a combination of the first acrylic latex having a Tg of about 15 to 45° C. and the second acrylic latex having a Tg of about ⁇ 45 to 15° C. is suitable in the present invention, while the present invention should not be restricted to this combination.
- the acrylic latex is preferably used after it was substantially uniformly dispersed in the catalyst carrier-mounting member. That is, when the mat-like catalyst carrier-mounting member surrounding the catalytic carrier is observed with regard to its thickness, it is preferred that the acrylic latex is substantially uniformly dispersed in the thickness direction in the catalyst carrier-mounting member.
- the acrylic latex can be impregnated in the catalyst carrier-mounting member in a reduced amount in comparison with that of the conventional catalytic converters.
