【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は仮焼コースの製造方法に関し、優れた物性を有し、例えば、半導体製造用治具などに利用される高密度等方性炭素材用原料やアルミニウム電解槽用カソードブロックの製造の際の骨材として好適な新規な仮焼コークスの製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
例えばピッチコークスは、ピッチを乾留して得られ、灰分が少ない特徴を有する。そして、ピッチコークス(骨材)とバインダーピッチとの混錬・成形物を焼成・黒鉛化して製造される成形体は、例えば、機械用軸受、放電加工用電極、半導体製造用治具、アルミニウム電解槽用カソードブロックとして使用される(例えば特許文献1参照)。
【0003】
上記の様なピッチコークスは、何れの用途においても固いものが望ましく、また、骨材としてピッチコークスを使用して得られる上記の様な成形体は、密度や強度が高く、熱膨張係数(CTE)が大きいものが望ましい。斯かる成形体は、組織が小さく且つ等方性であり、また、固さにも優れる。なお、ピッチコークス等の固さはHGI(Hard Grove Index)と呼ばれる指標で表され、この数値が小さいほど固い。そして、その測定方法は、JIS M8801−5「粉砕性試験法」に規定されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記実情に鑑みなされたものであり、その目的は、固くて、しかも、熱膨張係数、嵩密度、曲げ強度、固有抵抗に優れた成形体を製造するための骨材として使用することが出来る仮焼コークスの製造方法を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、鋭意検討を重ねた結果、キノリン不溶分の含有量が特定量の重質油に特定量のカーボンブラックを混合した後にコークス化することにより、上記の目的を容易に達成し得るとの知見を得、本発明の完成に至った。
【0008】
発明の要旨は、キノリン不溶分の含有量が10〜25重量%の重質油に3〜20重量%のカーボンブラックを混合した後にコークス化および仮焼することを特徴とする仮焼コークスの製造方法に存する。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
【0010】
本発明においては、原料として、重質油とカーボンブラックを使用する。重質油としては石炭系または石油系の何れであってもよい。石炭系重質油としては、コールタール、コールタールピッチ等が挙げられ、石油系重質油としては、FCC(流動接触分解)残渣、EHE(エチレン製造時の副生油)、常圧残渣油、減圧残渣油などが挙げられる。これらの中では、コールタールピッチが好適であり、その具体例としては、コークス製造時に副生する軟化点が100℃以下のコールタールピッチが挙げられる。
【0011】
本発明においては、キノリン不溶成分(QI)の含有量が10〜25重量%、好ましくは10〜20重量%、更に好ましくは15〜20重量%の重質油を使用する。QIの含有量が10重量%未満の場合は本発明の目的を達成することが出来ず、25重量%を超える場合は重質油の粘性が上昇し、移送などの点で問題がある。QIの含有量の調節は、重量沈降法、遠心分離法、濾過法などの公知の方法を採用することが出来、この場合、各操作を容易にするため必要に応じて適宜の溶媒を使用してもよい。QIの含有量が所望に調節されたコールタールピッチ等は、市販されていてるので容易に入手することが出来る。
【0012】
カーボンブラックとしては、ゴム用やカラー用のものが使用できる。カーボンブラックの平均粒子径は、通常10nm以上であり、通常300nm以下、好ましくは100nm以下である。粒子径が小さすぎると重質油との混合性が悪く、混合後の粘度上昇が著しい。また、過度に大きな粒子径のカーボンブラックは工業的に製造できない。また、カーボンブラックとしては、ヨウ素吸着量が100mg/g以下のものが好ましい。ヨウ素吸着量が多すぎると、重質油との混合性が悪く、混合後の粘度上昇が著しい。なお、カーボンブラックのヨウ素吸着量の下限は通常20mg/gである。また、移送や粉塵飛散対策の面から造粒したカーボンブラックが好ましい。
【0013】
先ず、本発明においては、重質油にカーボンブラックを混合する。この際、カーボンブラックの混合を容易に行なうため、後述のコークス化時に発生するアントラセン油が主成分の重質油を使用するのが好ましい。そして、具体的には次の様な要領で混合処理を行なうのが好ましい。すなわち、攪拌機付タンク内に上記のアントラセン油を入れ、これにカーボンブラック(CB)を添加して撹拌混合する。そして、得られたアントラセン油・CBの混合物を後述のコーカーヘ装入し、同時に原料の重質油をライン混合する。
【0014】
本発明において、重質油に対するカーボンブラックの混合割合は、3〜20重量%、好ましくは3〜15重量%、更に好ましくは3〜10重量%とされる。カーボンブラックの混合割合が3重量%未満の場合は本発明の目的を達成することが出来ず、カーボンブラックの混合割合が20重量%を超える場合はカーボンブラックの増量による格別な効果もなく経済的ではない。
【0015】
そして、本発明においては、上記の様にして得られた重質油とCBの混合物をコークス化する。コークス化は、所謂ディレードコーカーを使用して行われる。この際、温度は、通常450〜520℃、好ましくは460〜500℃、圧力は、通常1.0MPa以下、好ましくは0.5MPa以下、コーキング時間(原料の連続装入時間)は、通常24〜48時間、好ましくは24〜36時間とされる。そして、アントラセン油が主成分ある重質油がコークス化時に発生するが、この重質油は、前記の様に、カーボンブラックの混合の際の媒体として利用することが出来る。
【0016】
次いで、本発明においては、ディレードコーカーから排出された塊状の生コークスを仮焼する。仮焼は、仮焼炉として、ロータリーキルン、ロータリーハース等を使用して行なわれる。この際、温度は、通常1300〜1500℃、好ましくは1400〜1500℃、時間は通常1〜3時間とされる。
【0017】
上記の様にして得られた本発明の仮焼コークスは、その優れた特性を活かし、各種の用途に利用することが出来る。特に、粉砕、粒度調整後、バインダーピッチと混合して成形し、更に、これを焼成した後、黒鉛化することにより、高強度で高密度の等方性炭素材や優れた性能のアルミ精錬用カソードブロックを得ることが出来る。
【0018】
【実施例】
以下、本発明を実施例により更に詳細に説明するが、本発明は、その要旨を超えない限り、以下の実施例に限定されるものではない。

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-119615
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to be used as an aggregate for producing a molded body that is hard and excellent in thermal expansion coefficient, bulk density, bending strength, and specific resistance. it is to provide a calcined coke manufacturing method of that can.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive investigations, the present inventors easily achieved the above object by coking after mixing a specific amount of carbon black with a specific amount of heavy oil having a quinoline insoluble content. As a result, the present invention was completed.
[0008]
Abstract of the invention, calcined coke, characterized in that the coking and calcining after the content of quinoline-insoluble component was mixed with carbon black 3-20% by weight heavy oil 10 to 25 wt% Exist in the manufacturing method.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0010]
In the present invention, heavy oil and carbon black are used as raw materials. The heavy oil may be either coal-based or petroleum-based. Examples of coal heavy oil include coal tar and coal tar pitch. Examples of petroleum heavy oil include FCC (fluid catalytic cracking) residue, EHE (by-product oil during ethylene production), and atmospheric residue. And vacuum residue oil. Among these, coal tar pitch is preferable, and specific examples thereof include coal tar pitch having a softening point of 100 ° C. or less as a by-product during coke production.
[0011]
In the present invention, heavy oil having a quinoline insoluble component (QI) content of 10 to 25% by weight, preferably 10 to 20% by weight, and more preferably 15 to 20% by weight is used. When the content of QI is less than 10% by weight, the object of the present invention cannot be achieved, and when it exceeds 25% by weight, the viscosity of heavy oil increases, which causes a problem in terms of transfer. For adjusting the content of QI, a known method such as a gravitational sedimentation method, a centrifugal separation method, or a filtration method can be adopted. In this case, an appropriate solvent is used as necessary to facilitate each operation. May be. Coal tar pitch and the like whose QI content is adjusted as desired are commercially available and can be easily obtained.
[0012]
Carbon black can be used for rubber or color. The average particle size of carbon black is usually 10 nm or more, usually 300 nm or less, preferably 100 nm or less. If the particle size is too small, the mixing with heavy oil is poor and the viscosity increase after mixing is remarkable. Moreover, carbon black having an excessively large particle size cannot be produced industrially. Carbon black having an iodine adsorption of 100 mg / g or less is preferable. When there is too much iodine adsorption amount, the mixability with a heavy oil is bad and the viscosity rise after mixing is remarkable. In addition, the lower limit of the iodine adsorption amount of carbon black is usually 20 mg / g. Moreover, the carbon black granulated from the surface of a transfer or dust scattering countermeasure is preferable.
[0013]
First, in the present invention, carbon black is mixed with heavy oil. At this time, in order to easily mix the carbon black, it is preferable to use a heavy oil whose main component is anthracene oil generated during coking described later. Specifically, it is preferable to perform the mixing process in the following manner. That is, the above-mentioned anthracene oil is put in a tank with a stirrer, and carbon black (CB) is added to this and stirred and mixed. Then, the obtained mixture of anthracene oil and CB is charged into a coker described later, and at the same time, the raw heavy oil is line mixed.
[0014]
In the present invention, the mixing ratio of carbon black to heavy oil is 3 to 20% by weight, preferably 3 to 15% by weight, and more preferably 3 to 10% by weight. If the mixing ratio of the carbon black is less than 3% by weight, the object of the present invention cannot be achieved. If the mixing ratio of the carbon black exceeds 20% by weight, there is no special effect due to the increase of the carbon black, and it is economical. is not.
[0015]
In the present invention, the mixture of heavy oil and CB obtained as described above is coked. The coking is performed using a so-called delayed coker. At this time, the temperature is usually 450 to 520 ° C., preferably 460 to 500 ° C., the pressure is usually 1.0 MPa or less, preferably 0.5 MPa or less, and the coking time (continuous charging time of the raw material) is usually 24 to 48 hours, preferably 24-36 hours. A heavy oil mainly composed of anthracene oil is generated during coking. As described above, this heavy oil can be used as a medium for mixing carbon black.
[0016]
Next, in the present invention, massive raw coke discharged from the delayed coker is calcined. The calcination is performed using a rotary kiln, a rotary hearth or the like as a calcination furnace. At this time, the temperature is usually 1300 to 1500 ° C., preferably 1400 to 1500 ° C., and the time is usually 1 to 3 hours.
[0017]
The calcined coke of the present invention obtained as described above can be used for various applications by taking advantage of its excellent characteristics. In particular, after grinding, particle size adjustment, mixing with binder pitch and molding, and then firing this, it is graphitized for high-strength, high-density isotropic carbon material and excellent aluminum refining A cathode block can be obtained.
