 本発明の実施形態に係る緩水溶性ガラス(以下、単に「ガラス」と略すことがある)は、40.0~75.0モル%のSiO2と、5.0~38.0モル%のK2Oと、0.1~33.0モル%の、CuO及びZnOから選択される少なくとも一種と、28.0モル%以下のR’O(R’はアルカリ土類金属である)とを含む。 The moderately water-soluble glass (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “glass”) according to an embodiment of the present invention contains 40.0 to 75.0 mol% SiO 2 and 5.0 to 38.0 mol% K 2 O, 0.1 to 33.0 mol% of at least one selected from CuO and ZnO, and 28.0 mol% or less of R'O (R' is an alkaline earth metal) include.
 ここで、本明細書において「緩水溶性ガラス」とは、水に緩やかに溶解するガラスを意味する。具体的には、緩水溶性ガラスは、溶解(通常及び加速)試験において以下条件を満たす。
(1)通常試験
 通常試験においてガラスが完全に溶解しない。
 通常試験は、1cm×1cm×0.5cmのガラスを20℃の蒸留水100mLに12時間浸漬することによって行う。
(2)加速試験
 加速試験におけるガラスの質量減少率が2%以上である。
 質量減少率は、次の式によって算出される。
  (加速試験前のガラスの質量-加速試験後のガラスの質量)/加速試験前のガラスの質量×100
 また、加速試験は、次のようにして行う。まず、ガラスを粉砕した後、篩を用いて粒子径1.4~2.0mmのガラス粒子に紛級し、その質量(加速試験前のガラスの質量)を測定する。次に、紛級したガラス粒子を90℃の蒸留水100mLに5時間浸漬した後、目開き0.5mmの篩を用いて篩分けする。篩分けは、劣化してガラスではなくなったものを潰して除去する。次に、篩に残ったガラス粒子を乾燥させ、その質量(加速試験後のガラスの質量)を測定する。
As used herein, the term "slowly water-soluble glass" means glass that dissolves slowly in water. Specifically, a moderately water-soluble glass satisfies the following conditions in dissolution (normal and accelerated) tests.
(1) Ordinary test The glass does not completely dissolve in the ordinary test.
A typical test is performed by immersing a 1 cm×1 cm×0.5 cm glass in 100 mL of distilled water at 20° C. for 12 hours.
(2) Accelerated test The mass reduction rate of the glass in the accelerated test is 2% or more.
The mass reduction rate is calculated by the following formula.
(Mass of glass before accelerated test - Mass of glass after accelerated test)/Mass of glass before accelerated test x 100
Moreover, an accelerated test is performed as follows. First, after pulverizing the glass, it is ground using a sieve into glass particles having a particle diameter of 1.4 to 2.0 mm, and the mass (the mass of the glass before the acceleration test) is measured. Next, the ground glass particles are immersed in 100 mL of distilled water at 90° C. for 5 hours, and then sieved using a sieve with an opening of 0.5 mm. Sieving crushes and removes degraded material that is no longer glass. Next, the glass particles remaining on the sieve are dried and their mass (mass of the glass after the accelerated test) is measured.
 ガラスを緩水溶性とすることにより、ガラスが水に緩やかに溶解するにつれてCuイオンやZnイオンを徐々に溶出させることができるため、長期間にわたって水中にCuイオンやZnイオンを溶出することが可能となる。したがって、CuイオンやZnイオンによる効果(例えば、ボウフラなどの害虫や、苔類、藻類などの成長抑制又は忌避効果、抗菌効果、抗ウィルス効果)を長期間にわたって持続させることができる。
 なお、CuイオンやZnイオンによる効果の持続期間は、緩水溶性ガラスの形状(特に、表面積)、水量、水温などに依存するが、例えば、緩水溶性ガラスが視認できる状態であれば、その効果を持続させることができる。効果の持続期間は、緩水溶性ガラスの用途などに応じて適宜設定すればよいが、例えば、1日~10年程度を持続できるように調整することができる。
By making the glass mildly soluble in water, Cu ions and Zn ions can be gradually eluted as the glass slowly dissolves in water. becomes. Therefore, the effects of Cu ions and Zn ions (for example, growth inhibitory or repellent effects on insect pests such as mosquito larvae, mosses, algae, etc., antibacterial effects, and antiviral effects) can be maintained for a long period of time.
The duration of the effect of Cu ions and Zn ions depends on the shape (especially surface area) of the slightly water-soluble glass, the amount of water, the water temperature, etc. For example, if the slightly water-soluble glass is visible, the effect can be sustained. The duration of the effect may be appropriately set according to the use of the mildly water-soluble glass, but it can be adjusted so that it can last for about 1 day to 10 years, for example.
 SiO2は、ガラスの網目構造を形成する成分である。
 SiO2の含有量が40.0モル%未満であると、ガラスの強度が不足してしまう。一方、SiO2の含有量が75.0モル%を超えると、網目構造が強固になりすぎてしまう。その結果、ガラスの溶解速度が低下してしまうため、水中にCuイオンやZnイオンが十分に溶出せず、CuイオンやZnイオンによる効果が十分に得られない。したがって、SiO2の含有量は、ガラスの強度及び溶解速度のバランスを安定して確保する観点から、40.0~75.0モル%、好ましくは42.0~72.0モル%、より好ましくは43.0~70.0モル%に制御される。
SiO 2 is a component that forms the network structure of glass.
If the SiO 2 content is less than 40.0 mol %, the strength of the glass will be insufficient. On the other hand, if the content of SiO 2 exceeds 75.0 mol %, the network structure becomes too strong. As a result, the dissolution rate of the glass decreases, so that the Cu ions and Zn ions are not sufficiently eluted into the water, and the effects of the Cu ions and Zn ions cannot be sufficiently obtained. Therefore, the content of SiO 2 is 40.0 to 75.0 mol %, preferably 42.0 to 72.0 mol %, more preferably 42.0 to 72.0 mol %, from the viewpoint of stably ensuring the balance between glass strength and dissolution rate. is controlled at 43.0 to 70.0 mol %.
 K2Oは、ガラスの溶解速度を高める成分である。
 K2Oの含有量が5.0モル%未満であると、ガラスの溶解速度が低下してしまうため、水中にCuイオンやZnイオンが十分に溶出せず、CuイオンやZnイオンによる効果が十分に得られない。一方、K2Oの含有量が38.0モル%を超えると、ガラスの溶解速度が速くなりすぎてしまうため、CuイオンやZnイオンを長期間にわたって溶出することができなくなる。したがって、K2Oの含有量は、ガラスの適切な溶解速度を確保する観点から、5.0~38.0モル%、好ましくは7.0~37.0モル%、より好ましくは9.0~36.0モル%に制御される。
K 2 O is a component that increases the melting rate of glass.
If the content of K 2 O is less than 5.0 mol %, the dissolution rate of the glass decreases, so that the Cu ions and Zn ions are not sufficiently eluted into the water, and the effects of the Cu ions and Zn ions are reduced. can't get enough. On the other hand, if the K 2 O content exceeds 38.0 mol %, the dissolution rate of the glass becomes too fast, so Cu ions and Zn ions cannot be eluted for a long period of time. Therefore, the content of K 2 O is 5.0 to 38.0 mol%, preferably 7.0 to 37.0 mol%, more preferably 9.0 mol%, from the viewpoint of ensuring an appropriate dissolution rate of the glass. controlled to ~36.0 mol%.
 CuO及びZnOは、ガラスの網目構造内に含有され、ガラスを水と接触させた際にCuイオン及びZnイオンとして溶出する成分である。CuO及びZnOは、いずれか一方又は両方を組み合わせて用いることができる。
 CuO及びZnOの合計含有量が0.1モル%未満であると、水中にCuイオン及びZnイオンの溶出量が不足し、CuイオンやZnイオンによる効果が十分に得られない。一方、CuO及びZnOの合計含有量が33.0モル%を超えると、ガラス化せずに結晶化し易くなってしまう結果、水に溶解し難くなったり、Cuイオン及びZnイオンの溶出量を適切な範囲に制御し難くなったりする。したがって、CuO及びZnOの合計含有量は、Cuイオン及びZnイオンの溶出量とガラスの溶解性とのバランスを確保する観点から、0.1~33.0モル%、好ましくは0.5~32.0モル%、より好ましくは0.8~31.0モル%に制御される。
CuO and ZnO are components contained in the network structure of the glass and eluted as Cu ions and Zn ions when the glass is brought into contact with water. Either one or both of CuO and ZnO can be used in combination.
If the total content of CuO and ZnO is less than 0.1 mol %, the amounts of Cu ions and Zn ions eluted into water are insufficient, and the effects of Cu ions and Zn ions cannot be obtained sufficiently. On the other hand, when the total content of CuO and ZnO exceeds 33.0 mol%, it becomes easy to crystallize without vitrification. It becomes difficult to control within a certain range. Therefore, the total content of CuO and ZnO is 0.1 to 33.0 mol%, preferably 0.5 to 32 mol%, from the viewpoint of ensuring the balance between the elution amount of Cu ions and Zn ions and the solubility of the glass. 0 mol %, more preferably 0.8 to 31.0 mol %.
 CuO及びZnOの両方がガラスに含まれる場合、CuOとZnOとのモル比は、特に限定されないが、好ましくは35:1~1:35、より好ましくは10:1~1:10、更に好ましくは3:1~1:3である。このような範囲のモル比に制御することにより、水中にCuイオン及びZnイオンをバランス良く長期間にわたって溶出することが可能になる。 When both CuO and ZnO are contained in the glass, the molar ratio of CuO and ZnO is not particularly limited, but is preferably 35:1 to 1:35, more preferably 10:1 to 1:10, still more preferably 3:1 to 1:3. By controlling the molar ratio within such a range, Cu ions and Zn ions can be eluted into water in a well-balanced manner over a long period of time.
 R’O(R’はアルカリ土類金属である)は、ガラスの吸湿性又は耐水性などの化学的耐久性を向上させる成分であり、必要に応じてガラスに含有される。R’としては、特に限定されないが、Mg、Ca、Sr、Baなどが挙げられる。R’Oは単一種であっても複数種であってもよい。
 R’Oの含有量が28.0モル%を超えると、ガラスが水に溶解し難くなる。したがって、R’Oの含有量は、ガラスの溶解性を確保する観点から、28.0モル%以下、好ましくは25.0モル%以下、より好ましくは20.0モル%以下に制御される。
 なお、R’Oはガラスに含有されていなくてもよいため、その含有量の下限は特に限定されない。R’Oによる上記の効果を得る観点からは、R’Oの下限値は一般的に0.1モル%である。
R'O (R' is an alkaline earth metal) is a component that improves chemical durability such as hygroscopicity or water resistance of glass, and is contained in glass as necessary. Examples of R′ include, but are not limited to, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and the like. R'O may be of a single type or multiple types.
When the content of R'O exceeds 28.0 mol%, the glass becomes difficult to dissolve in water. Therefore, the content of R'O is controlled to 28.0 mol% or less, preferably 25.0 mol% or less, more preferably 20.0 mol% or less, from the viewpoint of ensuring the solubility of the glass.
Since R'O does not have to be contained in the glass, the lower limit of its content is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of obtaining the above effects of R'O, the lower limit of R'O is generally 0.1 mol%.
 本発明の実施形態に係る緩水溶性ガラスは、本発明の効果を阻害しない範囲において、ガラスに含有され得る公知の成分を必要に応じて更に含むことができる。このような公知の成分としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、R2O(Rは、K以外のアルカリ金属である)、Al23を用いることができる。 The moderately water-soluble glass according to the embodiment of the present invention can further contain known components that can be contained in the glass, if necessary, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. Although such known components are not particularly limited, for example, R 2 O (R is an alkali metal other than K) and Al 2 O 3 can be used.
 R2O(Rは、K以外のアルカリ金属である)は、ガラスの融点や粘性を低下させる成分であり、必要に応じてガラスに含有される。Rとしては、特に限定されないが、Na、Li、Rb、Csなどが挙げられる。これらの中でもコストの観点から、RはNa又はLiであることが好ましい。R2Oは単一種であっても複数種であってもよい。
 R2Oの含有量が35.0モル%を超えると、ガラスが水に溶解し易くなる。したがって、R2Oの含有量は、ガラスの緩溶解性を確保する観点から、35.0モル%以下、好ましくは33.0モル%以下、より好ましくは31.0モル%以下に制御される。
 なお、R2Oはガラスに含有されていなくてもよいため、その含有量の下限は特に限定されない。R2Oによる上記の効果を得る観点からは、R2Oの下限値は一般的に0.1モル%である。

Since R 2 O may not be contained in the glass, the lower limit of its content is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of obtaining the above effects of R 2 O, the lower limit of R 2 O is generally 0.1 mol %.
 Al23は、R’Oと同様に、ガラスの吸湿性又は耐水性などの化学的耐久性を向上させる成分である。

Al 2 O 3 , like R'O, is a component that improves chemical durability such as hygroscopicity or water resistance of glass.
When the content of Al 2 O 3 exceeds 30.0 mol %, the glass becomes difficult to dissolve in water. Therefore, the content of Al 2 O 3 is preferably 30.0 mol % or less, more preferably 28.0 mol % or less, and still more preferably 25.0 mol % or less, from the viewpoint of ensuring the solubility of the glass. be. Although the lower limit of the content of Al 2 O 3 is not particularly limited, it is generally 0.1 mol % from the viewpoint of obtaining the above effects of Al 2 O 3 .

 以下、本発明を実施例によって更に具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例によって何ら限定されるものではない。 The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited by these examples.
 表1に示す組成となるように各原料を秤量して均一に攪拌混合し、この混合物を1300~1450℃で2~3時間加熱して溶融させた後、溶融物を板状に成形し、冷却することによって板状サンプルを得た。なお、試験No.9、10、13及び14のサンプルはガラス化せずに結晶化してしまったのに対し、その他の試験のサンプルはガラス化した。このようにして得られた板状サンプルについて、以下の評価を行った。 Each raw material was weighed so as to have the composition shown in Table 1 and was uniformly stirred and mixed, and the mixture was heated at 1300 to 1450 ° C. for 2 to 3 hours to melt, and then the melt was formed into a plate shape, Plate-like samples were obtained by cooling. In addition, test No. Samples 9, 10, 13 and 14 crystallized rather than vitrified, while the samples of the other tests vitrified. The plate-like samples thus obtained were evaluated as follows.
<比重>
 比重計(アルファーミラージュ株式会社製MD-200S)を用いて比重を測定した。
<Specific gravity>
The specific gravity was measured using a hydrometer (MD-200S manufactured by Alpha Mirage Co., Ltd.).
<溶解試験>
 溶解試験として、上記した通常試験及び加速試験を行った。
(1)通常試験
 通常試験は、1cm×1cm×0.5cmのガラスを20℃の蒸留水100mLに12時間浸漬した。この通常試験の評価において、ガラスが完全に溶解しなかったものを〇、ガラスが完全に溶解したものを×と表す。ガラスが完全に溶解したか否かは、目視観察によって行った。
(2)加速試験
 板状サンプルを粉砕した後、篩を用いて粒子径1.4~2.0mmのガラス粒子に紛級し、その質量(加速試験前のガラスの質量)を測定した。次に、紛級したガラス粒子を90℃の蒸留水100mLに5時間浸漬した後、目開き0.5mmの篩を用いて篩分けした。篩に残ったガラス粒子は、蒸留水を用いて十分に洗浄した。次に、篩に残ったガラス粒子を乾燥させ、その質量(加速試験後のガラスの質量)を測定した。そして、上記した式によってガラスの質量減少率を求めた。この加速試験の評価において、ガラスの質量減少率が2%以上のものを〇、ガラスの質量減少率が2%未満であったものを×と表す。
 上記の各評価結果を表1に示す。
<Dissolution test>
As the dissolution test, the normal test and the accelerated test described above were performed.
(1) Ordinary Test In the ordinary test, a 1 cm×1 cm×0.5 cm glass was immersed in 100 mL of distilled water at 20° C. for 12 hours. In the evaluation of this ordinary test, ◯ indicates that the glass was not completely dissolved, and x indicates that the glass was completely dissolved. Whether or not the glass was completely melted was visually observed.
(2) Accelerated Test After pulverizing the plate-shaped sample, it was ground using a sieve into glass particles having a particle diameter of 1.4 to 2.0 mm, and the mass (mass of the glass before the accelerated test) was measured. Next, the ground glass particles were immersed in 100 mL of distilled water at 90° C. for 5 hours, and then sieved using a sieve with an opening of 0.5 mm. Glass particles remaining on the sieve were thoroughly washed with distilled water. Next, the glass particles remaining on the sieve were dried, and the mass (mass of the glass after the acceleration test) was measured. Then, the mass reduction rate of the glass was determined by the above formula. In the evaluation of this accelerated test, ◯ means that the mass reduction rate of the glass is 2% or more, and × means that the mass reduction rate of the glass is less than 2%.
Table 1 shows the above evaluation results.

 表1に示されるように、試験No.2~8、15、19~21及び23~24(本発明例)のサンプルは、溶解試験の結果から緩水溶性ガラスであり、所定量のCuO及び/又はZnOを含有している。したがって、これらのサンプルは、ガラスが水に緩やかに溶解するにつれてCuイオン及び/又はZnイオンを徐々に溶出することができる。
 これに対して、試験No.1、16及び17(比較例)のサンプルは、溶解(通常)試験の結果から水溶性ガラスである。したがって、これらのサンプルは、ガラスが水に直ぐに溶解してしまい、Cuイオン及び/又はZnイオンを徐々に溶出することができない。
 また、試験No.11、12、18及び22(比較例)のサンプルは、溶解(加速)試験の結果から難水溶性ガラスである。したがって、これらのサンプルは、ガラスが水に溶解し難く、Cuイオン及び/又はZnイオンを徐々に溶出することができない。
 なお、試験No.9、10、13及び14(比較例)のサンプルは、ガラス化せずに結晶化したため、水に溶解しないと考えられる。したがって、これらのサンプルは、Cuイオン及び/又はZnイオンを徐々に溶出することができない。
As shown in Table 1, test no. Samples 2 to 8, 15, 19 to 21 and 23 to 24 (inventive examples) are mildly water-soluble glasses according to the dissolution test results, and contain a predetermined amount of CuO and/or ZnO. Therefore, these samples can slowly elute Cu and/or Zn ions as the glass slowly dissolves in water.
On the other hand, Test No. Samples 1, 16 and 17 (comparative) are water soluble glasses from the dissolution (normal) test results. Therefore, in these samples, the glass immediately dissolves in water, and Cu ions and/or Zn ions cannot be gradually eluted.
Also, test no. Samples 11, 12, 18 and 22 (comparative examples) are poorly water-soluble glasses from the results of the dissolution (acceleration) test. Therefore, in these samples, the glass is difficult to dissolve in water, and Cu ions and/or Zn ions cannot be gradually eluted.
In addition, test No. Samples 9, 10, 13 and 14 (comparative examples) crystallized without vitrification, and are therefore considered insoluble in water. Therefore, these samples cannot gradually elute Cu ions and/or Zn ions.
 以上の結果からわかるように、本発明によれば、CuイオンやZnイオンを長期間にわたって溶出可能な緩水溶性ガラス、緩水溶性ガラス製品及び水質改善方法を提供することができる。また、本発明によれば、上記の特徴を有する緩水溶性ガラス製品を製造可能な組成物を提供することができる。 As can be seen from the above results, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a slowly water-soluble glass, a slowly water-soluble glass product, and a method for improving water quality that can elute Cu ions and Zn ions over a long period of time. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a composition capable of producing a moderately water-soluble glass product having the above characteristics.
