【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、食品廃棄物である茶殻の有効利用に関し、特に、茶殻を用いた木質ボードの製造方法及び茶殻を配合した抗菌性を有する木質ボードに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
経済成長によって様々な製品が社会に提供されると共に、廃棄物の処理が重大な問題として浮上し、市場に提供された製品の再利用、再使用や廃材の有効利用が不可欠となっている。
【0003】
様々な廃材の中で、環境にやさしいリサイクル原料として用いられているものに、間伐材、製材工場のおがくず及び廃材、住宅解体廃材などとして得られる木質廃材がある。これらは、インシュレーションボード(ファイバーボード)、パーティクルボードやハードボードのような木質ボードの製造に用いられ、畳床や断熱材など各種の用途に適用されている。このような木質ボードは、木質廃材の木質繊維や木質粉末に成形、圧縮等の処理を施すことによって製造される。
【0004】
一方、日本で年間8万トン以上生産される茶葉の一部は、茶系飲料の製造に供され、飲料製造工場から抽出残渣として大量の茶殻を発生する。有機性廃棄物である茶殻は、抽出しきれなかった有効成分を多く含有しており、リサイクル原料としてきわめて有望と考えられ、例えば、茶殻を利用したものとして、合成樹脂材料に茶殻を配合して形成した薄いシート材から加工される成型容器(特開平6−159399号公報)や、茶殻を充填した枕(特開平10−276880号公報)などが提案されている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとしている課題】
ところが、飲料製造工場から大量に排出される茶殻は、かなりの部分が堆肥化或いは焼却等によって処理されており、十分に再利用されているとは言えないのが現状である。その理由の1つとして、茶殻の含水率が高く、再利用する際の乾燥コストが問題となることがある。つまり、茶殻のリサイクルを進めるためには、茶殻の乾燥が不要となるような再利用又は有効利用の技術を開発することが必要である。
【0006】
本発明は、食品廃棄物である茶殻のより有効な用途を開発して優れたリサイクル製品及び製造方法を提供し、茶殻のリサイクルを活性化することを目的とする。 また、茶殻を利用した木質ボードの製造方法及び抗菌性を有する木質ボードを提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の木質ボードの製造方法は、木質材と茶殻と水とを含有するスラリーを調製する工程と、前記スラリーから水を排出して木質材及び茶殻を有する木質マットを成形する工程と、前記木質マットを乾燥して木質ボードを作製する工程とを有することを要旨とする。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
茶は抗菌性を有することが知られており、特開平8−38133号公報に、茶抽出物を有効成分とする抗菌剤が食中毒細菌、変敗菌、耐熱性有芽胞細菌、感染症起因菌である抗生物質耐性ブドウ球菌(MRSA)或いは植物病原性細菌などに対する抗菌作用があることが記載されている。また、特開2000−328443号公報には、茶抽出成分である茶ポリフェノールを固着させた繊維が黄色ブドウ球菌、特にMRSA、緑濃菌、大腸菌及び肺炎桿菌に対する抗菌作用を有することを記載している。また、茶葉そのものについても、特開平10−179024号公報に、茶葉の含むカテキン(或いはテアフラビン)の作用によって腐敗菌の発生や増加が抑えられることが開示されている。
【0010】
茶の抽出残渣である茶殻にも、上記のような茶の有効成分が残存し、これらの成分を分解することなくリサイクル製品に導入できれば、抗菌性を有したリサイクル製品を得ることができる。また、茶殻を乾燥せずに用いて製造できれば、リサイクル費用も低減される。
【0011】
本発明では、これを実現するために、茶殻を配合した木質ボード及びその製造方法を提案する。
【0012】
通常の木質ボードは、木質廃材から木質繊維の水性スラリーを調製して必要に応じて結合剤を添加し、スラリーの水を除いて成形し乾燥することによって得ることができるので、水性スラリーの調製時に茶殻を木質繊維に導入することによって茶殻を乾燥せずに使用することができ、製造される木質ボードには茶殻由来の成分による抗菌性が付与される。
【0013】
このようにして茶殻を配合した木質ボードは、従来の木質ボードと同様に各種の用途に適用することができ、特に緑茶の茶殻を配合した木質ボードは、高い抗菌作用を備えることにより抗菌性用途に適用することができる。化学薬品や人工的な添加剤を用いずに製造することができ、茶殻の天然成分を利用するので、人体や環境に対する影響の面でも有利である。
【0014】
以下、本発明の木質ボード及びその製造方法について詳細に説明する。
【0015】
本発明において木質ボードの製造に用いる茶殻は、茶系飲料の抽出に供された茶葉抽出残渣であり、特に緑茶の茶殻を用いることにより抗菌性の木質ボードが得られるが、緑茶以外の茶殻であっても木質ボードの製造に用いることができる。その際、茶殻は含水茶殻であっても乾燥茶殻であってもよく、抽出直後に得られる水分が80〜95重量%の高含水茶殻をそのまま好適に使用できる。
【0016】
また、本発明において用いる木質材は、一般的に建材や構造材料などとして使用される、いわゆる木材であり、スラリーに調製可能な繊維状又は粉末状の形態であればよい。木質材の樹種としては、例えば、杉、桧、ヒバ、カラマツ、松等の針葉樹や、クリ、カバ、カシ、シイ、ポプラ、柳等の広葉樹、ラワン等の南洋材などが挙げられるが、特に樹種は問わない。工業廃材や建築廃材などの木質廃材を利用することができ、例えば木質チップ等の木質廃材を解繊して得られる木質繊維や、木材の粉砕により得られる木質粉末あるいは製材において生じるおがくずのような木質粉末などがスラリーの調製に用いられる。木質繊維と木質粉末とを適宜混合して用いることもできる。混合割合は、木質ボードに求められる強度及び可撓性や製造時の成形性を考慮して適宜設定すればよく、木質材の約10重量%(乾燥重量比)以上を木質繊維とするのが好ましい。木質チップを解繊して木質繊維を得る手段としては、例えば、ディファイブレーター、ハンマーミル、リングブレーカー等が挙げられる。スラリー調製及び得られる木質ボードの外観などの点から、木質繊維は、繊維長が10mm程度以下であるのが好ましく、木質粉末は粒径が3mm程度以下であるのが好ましい。但し、過度に細かい繊維や粉末を用いると、木質ボードが脆くなり、形状保持性を高めるために多量の結合剤を用いる必要が生じる場合もある。
【0017】
本発明の木質ボードの製造方法では、まず、上記の木質材及び茶殻が水に分散したスラリーを調製する。茶殻の割合が木質材及び茶殻の合計重量の約5〜60重量%(乾燥重量比)となるように、木質材及び茶殻の配合割合を調節することが好ましい。茶殻の割合が5重量%以下になると、得られる木質ボードにおいて茶殻の有効成分による効果が実質的に得られず、60重量%を越えると、木質ボードの外観や強度の点で満足なものが得難くなる。尚、製造する木質ボードに求められる特性に応じて、炭素繊維、セラミック繊維等の強化材や各種添加剤を配合することも可能であり、これらの配合割合は、木質材及び茶殻の合計100重量部に対して3重量部以下(乾燥重量比)が望ましい。
【0018】
上記のように配合した木質材及び茶殻は、必要に応じて適量の水を添加し、攪拌することによりスラリーが調製される。この際、スラリーの取り扱い容易性やコストの点から、木質材、茶殻(乾燥重量)及び水の合計を100重量部として水が約95〜98重量部となるように水量を調整するのが好ましい。
【0019】
なお、木質材及び茶殻の保形性を向上させるために、上記スラリーに結合剤を添加してもよい。結合剤としては、コーンスターチやデキストリンなどのデンプン及びその誘導体、カルボキシメチルセルロースなどのセルロース誘導体、ポリビニルアルコールなどの水溶性合成樹脂、アラビアゴムなどの水溶性多糖類を用いることができる。これらの結合剤の使用量は、用いる木質材に応じて適宜調整すればよいが、概して、木質材に対して2〜20重量%、好ましくは5〜15重量%の割合で添加するとよい。
【0020】
次に、上記スラリーから水を排出することにより木質材及び茶殻が成形されて木質マットが得られる。スラリーからの水の排出は、抄造、即ち、網などのろ過部材上にスラリーを供給して水をろ過することによって可能であり、ろ過面積と供給するスラリー量との比率によって得られる木質マットの厚さを調節することができる。また、木質マットの抄造において、加圧ローラー等で1〜10MPa、好ましくは2〜7MPaの圧力を加えて強制脱水すると、この後に行う乾燥が容易になる。また、加圧によって木質マット表面の整形や密度調節を行うことができる。従って、例えば、所定の幅及び長さの長網を底面に有するろ過枠にスラリーを流し込んで排水し、ろ過枠の底面に対応したプレス板を押圧して加圧脱水することにより木質マットが適切に形成される。木質マットの脱水は、遠心力等を用いて行ってもよい。
【0021】
上記で得られた木質マットを乾燥することによって、木質ボードが製造される。必要に応じて、木質マットを加熱したり減圧雰囲気中に配置して乾燥を促進してもよい。この際、得られる木質ボードに歪みなどが生じないように、木質マットの乾燥が全体に均一に進行するように配慮する。このためには、例えば、加熱温度又は真空度を徐々に高くするといった方法が有効である。木質マットを加熱する場合の加熱温度は、200℃以下、好ましくは180℃以下とする。
【0022】
前述の木質マットの抄造において、ろ過により抄造した複数の木質マットを重ねて、加圧により脱水すると共に一体化して多層構造の木質マットに成形してもよい。この場合、抄造した木質マットを表面に結合剤を供給した後に重ねて加圧脱水すると、乾燥後の多層構造の木質ボードの層間剥離を防止するのに有効である。互いに組成が異なる複数の木質マットを重ねて脱水・成形すると、部分的に機能の異なる木質ボードを形成することができる。例えば、抗菌性を強化した表面層と材料物性を重要視した内層とを有する木質ボードを構成することができる。
【0023】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to effective use of tea husk, which is a food waste, and more particularly to a method for producing a wooden board using tea husk and an antibacterial wooden board blended with tea husk.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Various products are provided to society as a result of economic growth, and waste disposal has emerged as a serious problem, and it is essential to reuse, reuse, and effectively use waste materials provided to the market.
[0003]
Among various waste materials, those used as environmentally friendly recycled materials include wood waste materials obtained from thinned wood, sawdust and waste materials from sawmills, and house demolition waste materials. These are used for the production of wood boards such as insulation boards (fiber boards), particle boards and hard boards, and are applied to various uses such as tatami floors and heat insulating materials. Such a wood board is manufactured by performing processing such as molding and compression on wood fiber and wood powder of wood waste materials.
[0004]
On the other hand, a part of tea leaves produced in Japan more than 80,000 tons per year is used for the production of tea-based beverages, and a large amount of tea leaves are generated as an extraction residue from a beverage manufacturing plant. Tea husk, an organic waste, contains many active ingredients that could not be extracted, and is considered extremely promising as a recycled raw material.For example, tea husk is blended with synthetic resin material using tea husk. A molded container (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-159399) processed from the formed thin sheet material, a pillow filled with tea shells (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-276880), and the like have been proposed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, a large portion of tea husk discharged from a beverage manufacturing plant is processed by composting or incineration, and it cannot be said that it is sufficiently reused. One reason for this is that the water content of the tea husk is high, and the drying cost at the time of reuse may be a problem. In other words, in order to promote recycling of tea husks, it is necessary to develop a reuse or effective utilization technique that eliminates the need to dry tea husks.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to develop a more effective use of tea husk, which is food waste, to provide an excellent recycled product and manufacturing method, and to activate the recycling of tea husk. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a wooden board using tea leaves and a wooden board having antibacterial properties.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The method for producing a wooden board according to the present invention includes a step of preparing a slurry containing a wooden material, a tea shell, and water, a step of discharging water from the slurry, and molding a wooden mat having a wooden material and a tea shell, And a step of drying the wooden mat to produce a wooden board.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Tea is known to have antibacterial properties, and JP-A-8-38133 discloses that antibacterial agents containing tea extract as an active ingredient are food poisoning bacteria, spoilage bacteria, heat-resistant spore bacteria, infection-causing bacteria. It is described that it has antibacterial action against antibiotic resistant staphylococci (MRSA) or phytopathogenic bacteria. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-328443 describes that a fiber to which tea polyphenol as a tea extract component is fixed has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, especially MRSA, green bacterium, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Yes. Further, regarding tea leaves themselves, JP-A-10-179024 discloses that the occurrence and increase of spoilage bacteria can be suppressed by the action of catechin (or theaflavin) contained in tea leaves.
[0010]
If the active ingredients of tea as described above remain in the tea husk, which is a tea extraction residue, and these components can be introduced into the recycled product without being decomposed, a recycled product having antibacterial properties can be obtained. In addition, if the tea can be produced without drying, the recycling cost can be reduced.
[0011]
In order to realize this, the present invention proposes a wooden board blended with tea husk and a method for producing the same.
[0012]
Regular wood boards can be obtained by preparing an aqueous slurry of wood fibers from wood waste, adding a binder if necessary, removing the water from the slurry, and drying and forming the aqueous slurry. Occasionally, the tea husk can be used without drying by introducing the tea husk into the wood fiber, and the produced wooden board is given antibacterial properties due to components derived from the tea husk.
[0013]
The wood board blended in this way can be applied to various uses in the same way as conventional wood boards. Especially, the wood board blended with green tea shells has a high antibacterial action and has antibacterial applications. Can be applied to. It can be produced without using chemicals or artificial additives, and since it uses the natural components of tea husk, it is advantageous in terms of impact on the human body and the environment.
[0014]
Hereinafter, the wooden board of the present invention and the manufacturing method thereof will be described in detail.
[0015]
The tea shell used in the production of the wooden board in the present invention is a tea leaf extraction residue used for extraction of tea-based beverages, and in particular, an antibacterial wooden board is obtained by using a green tea tea shell. Even if it exists, it can be used for manufacture of a wooden board. At that time, the tea husk may be a hydrated tea husk or a dried tea husk, and a highly hydrated tea husk having a water content of 80 to 95% by weight obtained immediately after extraction can be suitably used as it is.
[0016]
The woody material used in the present invention is so-called wood that is generally used as a building material or a structural material, and may be in the form of a fiber or powder that can be prepared into a slurry. Examples of woody wood species include, for example, conifers such as cedar, birch, hiba, larch, pine, broadleaf trees such as chestnuts, hippopotamus, oak, shii, poplar, and willow, southern wood such as lauan, etc. Any tree species is acceptable. Wood waste such as industrial waste and construction waste can be used, such as wood fiber obtained by defibration of wood waste such as wood chips, wood powder obtained by pulverizing wood or sawdust generated in sawmill Wood powder or the like is used for the preparation of the slurry. It is also possible to use a mixture of wood fiber and wood powder as appropriate. The mixing ratio may be appropriately set in consideration of the strength and flexibility required for the wooden board and the moldability at the time of manufacture, and the wood fiber should be about 10% by weight (dry weight ratio) or more. preferable. Examples of means for defibrating wood chips to obtain wood fibers include a defibrator, a hammer mill, a ring breaker, and the like. From the standpoint of slurry preparation and the appearance of the resulting wood board, the wood fiber preferably has a fiber length of about 10 mm or less, and the wood powder preferably has a particle size of about 3 mm or less. However, if excessively fine fibers or powders are used, the wood board becomes brittle, and it may be necessary to use a large amount of binder in order to improve the shape retention.
[0017]
In the method for producing a wooden board according to the present invention, first, a slurry is prepared in which the above wooden material and tea husk are dispersed in water. It is preferable to adjust the blending ratio of the wood material and the tea shell so that the ratio of the tea shell is about 5 to 60% by weight (dry weight ratio) of the total weight of the wood material and the tea shell. When the ratio of tea husk is 5% by weight or less, the effect of the active ingredient of the tea husk is not substantially obtained in the obtained wooden board, and when it exceeds 60% by weight, the wooden board is satisfactory in terms of appearance and strength. It becomes difficult to obtain. Depending on the properties required for the wood board to be manufactured, reinforcing materials such as carbon fibers and ceramic fibers and various additives can be blended. 3 parts by weight or less (dry weight ratio) with respect to parts is desirable.
[0018]
A slurry is prepared by adding an appropriate amount of water and stirring the wooden material and the tea husk blended as described above as necessary. At this time, from the viewpoint of ease of handling and cost of the slurry, it is preferable to adjust the amount of water so that the total amount of the wood material, tea husk (dry weight) and water is 100 parts by weight and the water is about 95 to 98 parts by weight. .
[0019]
Note that a binder may be added to the slurry in order to improve the shape retention of the wood material and tea leaves. As the binder, starch such as corn starch and dextrin and derivatives thereof, cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose, water-soluble synthetic resins such as polyvinyl alcohol, and water-soluble polysaccharides such as gum arabic can be used. The amount of these binders to be used may be appropriately adjusted according to the wood material to be used, but generally 2 to 20% by weight, preferably 5 to 15% by weight, based on the wood material.
[0020]
Next, by discharging water from the slurry, a wood material and a tea husk are formed to obtain a wood mat. Water discharge from the slurry can be made by papermaking, that is, by supplying the slurry onto a filtering member such as a mesh and filtering the water, and the wood mat obtained by the ratio between the filtration area and the amount of slurry supplied. The thickness can be adjusted. In addition, when making a wooden mat, if it is forcibly dehydrated by applying a pressure of 1 to 10 MPa, preferably 2 to 7 MPa with a pressure roller or the like, the subsequent drying becomes easy. Moreover, shaping of the wood mat surface and density adjustment can be performed by pressurization. Therefore, for example, the wood mat is suitable by pouring the slurry into a filtration frame having a long net of a predetermined width and length on the bottom and draining, pressing the press plate corresponding to the bottom of the filtration frame and dehydrating under pressure. Formed. The wood mat may be dehydrated using centrifugal force or the like.
[0021]
A wood board is manufactured by drying the wood mat obtained above. If necessary, the wood mat may be heated or placed in a reduced pressure atmosphere to promote drying. At this time, care is taken so that the drying of the wooden mat proceeds uniformly throughout the wooden board so as not to be distorted. For this purpose, for example, a method of gradually increasing the heating temperature or the degree of vacuum is effective. The heating temperature for heating the wood mat is 200 ° C. or lower, preferably 180 ° C. or lower.
[0022]
In the wood mat making described above, a plurality of wood mats made by filtration may be stacked, dehydrated by pressurization, and integrated into a multi-layered wood mat. In this case, it is effective to prevent delamination of the multilayered wood board after drying by stacking the paper-made wood mat after supplying the binder to the surface and then dehydrating under pressure. When a plurality of wood mats having different compositions are stacked and dehydrated and molded, a wood board having partially different functions can be formed. For example, a wood board having a surface layer with enhanced antibacterial properties and an inner layer with an emphasis on material properties can be constructed.
[0023]
The wood board of the present invention produced in this way has a significantly superior antibacterial property as compared with a wood board using only a conventional wood material. Furthermore, it also has a deodorizing function, and in particular, the ammonia deodorizing rate shows a value of 90% or more, and the deodorizing effect on other malodorous substances is not inferior to that of a board made of 100% wood.・ Excellent as a deodorizing board. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for residential building materials such as antibacterial heat insulating materials, medical building materials and mats, and antibacterial / deodorant mats for pets. Therefore, the use of the conventional wooden board can be further expanded, and it contributes greatly to further improvement of the usefulness of the wooden board, combined with effective use or recycling of various wastes.
[0024]
【Example】
(Example)
[Production of wood board (insulation board)]
An extract that becomes a green tea beverage was extracted from the green tea leaves with hot water to obtain a tea husk having a moisture content of 95% as a residue. In addition, the wood chips, which are waste materials collected from the sawmill, were made into fibers while blowing steam at a temperature of 180 ° C. with a defibrator to produce wood fibers. These were mixed on a dry basis so that the tea husk was 10% by weight, and water was added to prepare a wood slurry having a concentration of 3.5% by weight. Oxidized starch corresponding to 10% by weight on a dry basis was added to and mixed with the wood slurry. Next, after flowing this on a long net having a length of 1 m as it was to filter water, dehydration was performed by applying a pressure of 6 MPa with a pressure roller. Further, this dehydrated product was cut into a length of 4 m and then dried in a drying furnace at 150 ° C. for 4 hours to produce an insulation board of the present invention.
[0025]
The following antibacterial property test was implemented with respect to the test piece cut out from the insulation board obtained above.
[0026]
[Antimicrobial test]
After immersing the test piece in 1/500 ordinary bouillon for 24 hours, in accordance with the “Film Contact Method” of the Antibacterial Product Technical Council, Staphylococcus aureus prepared in 1/500 ordinary bouillon, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), A bacterial solution of Escherichia coli, Chrysanthemum fungus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or ringworm fungus (cause of athlete's foot) is dropped onto the surface of the test piece, covered tightly with a plastic film and kept at 35 ° C. for 24 hours. The change in the number of bacteria was measured.
[0027]
The results of the antibacterial test are shown in Table 1. The control is a standard value obtained when the same operation as the above test piece is performed using a standard white cloth defined in JIS L1902.
[0028]
(Comparative example)
For comparison, a wood board was prepared in the same manner as in the above example except that no tea husk was added, and an antibacterial test was conducted in the same manner. The results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, “<10” means “not detected”.
[0029]
[Table 1]
From the results of Examples and Comparative Examples, it can be seen that remarkable antibacterial properties against various bacteria can be imparted by blending tea leaves with wooden boards.
[0030]
Moreover, when the bending strength of the wood board of an Example and a comparative example was measured according to prescription | regulation of JISA5905, they were 17.0 * 10 < 5 > Pa and 18.5 * 10 < 5 > Pa. From this, it can be seen that the wood board blended with tea husk has good strength.
[0031]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the wooden board of the present invention has a significantly superior antibacterial property compared to a wooden board mainly composed of a wooden material. Therefore, the use of the conventional wooden board is further expanded, and various wastes can be effectively used or recycled, which greatly contributes to further improvement of the usefulness of the wooden board. Moreover, since the manufacturing method of the wooden board | substrate of this invention can use not only dry tea husk but also water-containing tea husk whose moisture content is 80 weight% or more, it can recycle tea husk efficiently.
