Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for efficiently producing a vapor-grown- carbon fiber such as a carbon nanotube.
  • a carbon fiber obtained by the vapor-growth process (vapor-grown carbon fiber) can have a large aspect ratio with relative ease. Accordingly, studies thereon have been aggressively carried out and there are a large number of reports on the production process.
  • a carbon nanotube (that is, a carbon fiber having a fiber diameter on the nanometer order) has attracted particular attention in recent years, and can be synthesized by applying this vapor-growth process.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing one example of a reaction apparatus for continuously producing a carbon fiber by the vapor-growth process.
  • CO, methane, acetylene, ethylene, benzene, toluene or the like is used as the carbon source which is the raw material of the carbon fiber.
  • a carbon source which is a gas at an ordinary temperature and pressure is supplied, in the gaseous state, by being mixed with a carrier gas.
  • the carbon source is vaporized in a vaporizer 4, mixed with a carrier gas and then supplied, or is sprayed in a liquid state into the heating zone 1.
  • the carrier gas used is, for example, nitrogen gas, which is an inert gas, or hydrogen gas, which is reducing gas.
  • the carbon source is supplied into a depressurized apparatus.
  • a catalyst of a process for producing a vapor-grown carbon fiber a supported catalyst in which a metal is supported on a support such as alumina, or an organic metal compound such as ferrocene, is used.
  • the supported catalyst is subjected to a necessary pretreatment by previously placing and heating it in a heating zone 1, and then a carbon source is supplied and reacted thereon (this is the example shown in Fig. 1) .
  • the reaction is performed by continuously or pulsedly supplying a supported catalyst which has been pretreated, from outside of the system.
  • a supported catalyst which has been pretreated
  • an organic metal compound readily dissolvable in a carbon source such as ferrocene, is employed as a catalyst precursor, and continuously or pulsedly fed to the heating zone together with a carbon source, and thereby a carbon fiber is produced by utilizing metal particles generated by thermal decomposition of the catalyst precursor as a catalyst.
  • the product obtained by a process for producing a vapor-grown carbon fiber performed in the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 is collected in the heating zone 1 heated by the heater 2 and the receiver 3 located at the end thereof, and then, after a predetermined time of reaction, is recovered.
  • the production process of a carbon fiber by a vapor- phase method is roughly classified into the following three types according to the method of supplying a catalyst or a precursor compound of the catalyst:
  • a substrate or boat comprising an alumina or graphite supporting a catalyst or a precursor compound thereof is placed in a heating zone, and contacted with a gas of a carbon source supplied in a vapor phase;
  • a particulate catalyst or a precursor compound thereof is dispersed in a liquid-state carbon source or the like, and continuously or pulsedly supplied to a heating zone from outside of the system, and thereby contacted with a carbon source at a high temperature;

  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-339676 describes, in the examples, a method comprising dissolving ferrocene in benzene, toluene or p-xylene as a carbon source and supplying the obtained solution to a heating zone.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple and effective process for producing a vapor-grown carbon fiber wherein the process does not leave a residue in a reaction apparatus, and thereby enables continuous production of a vapor-grown carbon fiber and, as a result, cost-effective production thereof.
  • the present inventors have found that a process for producing a vapor-grown carbon fiber does not leave a residue in a reaction apparatus when a raw material used further containes a particular compound, and thereby achieve the present invention. That is, the present invention relates to the following (1) to (24) .
  • a process for producing a vapor-grown carbon fiber by supplying a raw material at least containing a carbon source, and a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound into a heating zone, wherein the raw material further contains an oxygen- containing carbon source compound selected from the group consisting of ketones and ethers.
  • ketones are acetone, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, 3-methyl-2-butanone, acetylacetone, 3- hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butanone, 3, 3-dimethyl-2-butanone, 2- methyl-3-pentanone, 3-methyl-2-pentanone, 4-methyl-2- pentanone, 2-hexanone, 3-hexanone, cyclopentanone, hydroxyacetone, 2-heptanone, 3-heptanone, 4-heptanone,
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing an example of the vertical reaction apparatus for producing a vapor-grown carbon fiber.
  • the process for producing a vapor-grown carbon fiber according to the present invention is characterized in that a raw material further contains an oxygen-containing carbon source compound in addition to a carbon source, and a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound.
  • the oxygen-containing carbon source compound used in the process for producing a carbon fiber according to the present invention includes an oxygen-containing carbon source compound selected from the group consisting of ketones and ethers. Addition of such an oxygen- containing carbon containing compound into a raw material used for a process for producing a vapor-phase carbon fiber makes it possible to reduce or substantially eliminate a residue in a reaction apparatus. It is deemed that this is because oxygen atom of an oxygen- containing carbon source compound reacts with a carbon residue in a reaction apparatus to remove the carbon residue from the reaction apparatus. Incidentally, carbon atom of an oxygen-containing carbon source compound is counted as a carbon source described below.
  • the catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound used is preferably dissolved or suspended in the oxygen-containing carbon source compound which is in a liquid state at an ordinary temperature and pressure, and then supplied into a heating zone. Since ethers and ketones, particularly ethers, used as an oxygen-containing carbon source compound in the process of the present invention are chemically stable, a catalyst and/or the catalyst precursor compound such as metallocene, particularly ferrocene, can be dissolved or dispersed therein, and thereafter supplied.
  • the oxygen-containing carbon source compound is preferably one having a higher boiling point at an ordinary pressure, and/or a large solubility of catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound therein.
  • boiling point at an ordinary pressure of the oxygen- containing carbon source compound is preferably of 80°C or more, more preferably 115°C or more, and still more preferably 150°C or more.
  • the solubility of a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound at 25°C in the oxygen- containing carbon source compound is preferably 1 g or more, more preferably 5 g or more, and still more • preferably 10 g or more per 100 g of the oxygen- containing carbon source compound.
  • the oxygen-containing carbon source compound preferably has a boiling point at an ordinary pressure of 115°C or more, and a solubility of catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound therein at 25 0 C of 1 g or more per 100 g of the oxygen-containing carbon source compound.
  • the oxygen-containing carbon source compound more preferably has a boiling point at an ordinary pressure of 150°C or more, and a solubility of catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound therein at 25°C of 1 g or more per 100 g of the oxygen-containing carbon source compound.
  • the reason why the oxygen-containing carbon source compound preferably has a higher boiling point at an ordinary pressure, and/or a large solubility of catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound therein is as follows:
  • the minimum amount of a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound required for producing a vapor-phase carbon fiber is very small in comparison with the amount of carbon in a raw material.
  • Many catalysts and/or catalyst precursor compounds are in a solid or liquid state at an ordinary temperature and pressure. However, it is very difficult to stably supply a small amount of a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound in a solid or liquid state to a heating zone.
  • the oxygen-containing carbon source compound when the oxygen-containing carbon source compound is in a liquid state at an ordinary temperature and pressure, it is possible to stably supply a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound to a heating zone by dissolving or dispersing it in the oxygen-containing carbon source compound.
  • the main carbon source is a gaseous compound such as methane, and when a carbon source has a small solubility of a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound therein.
  • an oxygen-containing carbon source compound when a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound is dissolved in an oxygen-containing carbon source compound, if the oxygen-containing carbon source compound has a lower boiling point (i.e. a higher vapor pressure) , the oxygen-containing carbon source compound is vaporized before the catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound is sufficiently vaporized, and thereby the catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound is precipitated. This makes it impossible to stably supply the catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound to a heating zone. Therefore, an oxygen-containing carbon source compound preferably has a higher boiling point, when a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound is dissolved or dispersed in an oxygen-containing carbon source compound.
  • An oxygen-containing carbon source compound preferably has a large solubility of a catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound therein in order to stably retain the catalyst and/or catalyst precursor compound therein.
