Conventionally, a slip casting method, a VAD method, a sol-gel method and the like are known as methods for producing a high-quality porous silica material.

The sol-gel method is a method in which a metal alkoxide is hydrolyzed and polycondensed in a liquid phase to obtain a porous silica material. In this method, a high-purity porous silica material is obtained.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, each of the conventional methods has the following problems.

That is, in the slip casting method, a silica porous body having a relatively large pore radius can be obtained.However, due to the use of a gypsum mold, particularly when the solvent is acidic, gypsum is attacked and Ca is eluted, and the porous material is porous. Since the body was contaminated, a high-purity porous silica material could not be obtained. In addition, there is a problem that the water absorption rate of the gypsum mold decreases with an increase in the water content.

また、VAD法では、原料歩留まりが低く、しかも高強

という問題があった。
In addition, the VAD method has a problem in that the yield of the raw material is low and a high-strength porous silica material cannot be obtained, and the shape thereof is limited.

In addition, in the sol-gel method, since the fine particles having a very small particle size and a BET specific surface area of 100 m 2 / g or more are used in consideration of the sedimentation velocity, the pores of the formed porous body are also very small, and the pore radius is 0.1 μm or less. Was limited to For this reason, in the drying step, cracks easily occur in the porous body due to capillary stress, and there is a problem that a large-sized porous body cannot be obtained. In order to solve these problems, supercritical solvent extraction and drying control additives (DCCA) have been studied in the sol-gel method.

Next, a high-purity silica powder is mixed with the sol to prepare a slip. At this time, the mixing ratio of the sol and the silica powder is adjusted so that a slip having a proper viscosity is obtained. In addition, if the concentration is adjusted so that molding can be performed only by filtering a small amount of solvent, the molding speed (inlaying speed) is increased, which is efficient. The viscosity of the slip is
As the addition amount of the silica powder increases, it tends to increase, and the mixing ratio of the sol and the silica powder is preferably in the range of 20 to 60 vol%, most preferably 40 to 50 vol%. If the silica powder is less than 20 vol%, the molding speed (the inking speed) becomes slow, and the silica powder tends to settle, and a uniform porous body cannot be obtained.
If it exceeds vol%, the viscosity becomes too high and the fluidity is lost. However, the viscosity of the slip is affected not only by the amount of silica powder added but also by the particle size, particle shape, and the like. Therefore, it is desirable to determine the mixing ratio between the sol and the silica powder in consideration of these factors. Further, the pore radius of the porous body can be adjusted according to the particle size of the silica powder, and a silica powder having a relatively large particle size is used to obtain a porous body having a relatively large pore radius. It is desirable that the silica powder has an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm and a sharp particle size distribution. If the average particle diameter of the silica powder is less than 1 μm, the porous body is easily broken, while if it exceeds 10 μm (for example, 50 μm), the silica powder tends to settle.

Conventional slip casting is not suitable for forming such acid-containing slips. Further, even with the conventional sol-gel method, molding of such a silica powder that easily precipitates cannot be considered.

れるΔPより高い圧力が加えられる。
Next, the slip is accommodated in a pressure vessel having a filter, pressed and molded from one direction by a gas, and further dried by flowing a gas. In this case, a pressure higher than ΔP determined by the following equation is applied.

ΔP=2γ/r (なお、γは表面張力、rは気孔半径である)。この場

成形時間は短い。
ΔP = 2γ / r (where γ is the surface tension and r is the pore radius). In this case, the pressure ΔP tends to be smaller as the average particle size of the silica powder used increases. As described above, when silica powder having an average particle diameter of 1 to 10 μm is used, the pressure ΔP is set in a range of approximately 40 to 3 kgf / cm 2 . For example, when a silica powder having an average particle diameter of 10 μm is mixed with a sol to obtain a porous body having a pore radius of about 0.2 μm, the mixing ratio varies depending on the degree of polycondensation, but 3 to 10 kgf / cm 2 . Filtration is possible by pressure, and the molding time is short.

The resulting molded body has high strength because the hydrolysis product in the sol acts as a binder for silica powder,
In addition, since the pore radius is relatively large, the effect of capillary stress during drying is small, and cracking is unlikely.
