Definitions
- the invention relates to carbon black, a method for the production of carbon black or other flame aerosols, and a device for carrying out said method.
- the method according to the invention is intended to produce carbon black in the form of aerosols having reproducible and adjustable properties.
- properties are the carbon black concentration and the particle size distribution, the agglomeration state and the chemical composition.
- aerosols are required in order to test, for example, filters, electrostatic separators or catalysts with regard to the separation of carbon black.
- the aerosols thus obtained can be separated in order to produce, for example, pigments or fillers.
- the process is also suitable for producing other aerosols producible in flames, such as, for example, SiO2 or TiO2 having particular properties.
- the literature has to date disclosed 2 methods for producing test aerosols from carbon black.
- This method comprises a combination of the following steps:
- the method is based on the gas black or channel method which is known from industrial carbon black production and is modified so that the carbon black is obtained predominantly as an aerosol.
- a diffusion flame is directed against a cold metal surface, the carbon black being deposited directly from the flame on the cold surface and being scraped off from the surface later on.
- a cold surface is used in order to withdraw as much heat as possible from the flame.
- the carbon black is prevented from settling on the cold surface.
- an oxygen-containing gas such as, for example, air
- a sufficiently thick-walled body of metal or another highly thermally conductive material can advantageously be used as the cold surface.
- the surface can be cooled from the back by means of water or air.
- a flowing liquid film which, by convection and by evaporation, can remove the heat to be removed from the flame can also be used as the cold surface.
- the object set at the outset is also achieved by a device for carrying out the abovementioned method according to the invention, in which, in addition to a flame generation setup and a cooling surface against which the flame produced can be directed, a setup for producing a gaseous boundary layer between surface and flame is present.
- a device for carrying out the abovementioned method according to the invention in which, in addition to a flame generation setup and a cooling surface against which the flame produced can be directed, a setup for producing a gaseous boundary layer between surface and flame is present.
- Preferred developments of the device according to the invention are evident from subclaims 14 to 20 relating to claim 13 .
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a plurality of working examples of the device according to the invention
- FIG. 2-8 show further schematic embodiments of the device according to the invention.
- a flame 10 is directed against the cooling surface 1 , a boundary layer 5 being produced between the flame 10 and cooling surface.
- the boundary layers are produced by moving the cooling surface perpendicularly to the axis of the flame 10 in the direction of the arrow.
- the cooling surface 1 is moved obliquely relative to the axis of the flame 10 .
- an adjustable deflector plate 15 that permits adjustment of the boundary layer thickness and prevents the flame from being disturbed by turbulences.
- the deflector plate is provided with a feed 16 for a gas in order to enrich the boundary layer with a desired special gas, for example N 2 .
- a film of water or of another readily vaporizable, nonflammable liquid can be applied to the cooling surface in order to improve the cooling effect and at the same time develop a vapor boundary layer having a flame-cooling effect when the hot flame gases are in contact with the surface.
- the liquid film can be produced in a known manner, for example by spraying on the liquid, by immersing the surface in a bath, by application rolls, etc. It may be advantageous to roughen the surface and to coat it with a thin layer of an absorptive material.
- the cooling surface is formed by a flowing, vaporizable liquid or consists of a porous material, e.g. sintered material, from which a gas or vaporizable liquid emerges.
- a flow channel between two cooling surfaces 1 can be formed for this purpose, it being possible to keep the flame 10 to be cooled and the surrounding boundary layers 5 in a laminar flow state in the convergent part 12 of a channel up to the narrowest point in spite of high flow velocities.
- This effect can also be achieved in a convergent nozzle having a cooling surface.
- the cooling surface is provided in the form of a water film 2 .
- FIG. 4 shows an arrangement in which the cooling surface is realized by a metal plate 4 rotating about a horizontal axis 3 .
- the metal plate 4 can be immersed in a water bath 6 .
- one or more flames 10 are directed toward the metal plate 4 from one side or from both sides.
- deflector plates 15 for adjusting the boundary layer and a deflector plate 20 for collecting the aerosol are provided.
- the metal plate can be cleaned by a scraper or a brush (not shown here), by a gas jet or by subjecting to ultrasound during the passage through the water bath.
- the device shown in FIG. 4 is especially suitable for producing the carbon black by the combustion of gases or vaporized liquids. If the carbon black is to be produced on the basis of a flammable liquid, the arrangement shown in FIG. 5 is particularly advantageous since the flame 10 is perpendicular and is produced by means of a wick burner 30 . A further peculiarity is that two cooling surfaces are provided by two rotating rolls 31 . According to the invention, it is intended that the distance between the rolls, the rotational speed of the rolls and the pressure difference present at the roll gap are adjustable in order to draw out the flame to a thin layer and to cool it particularly rapidly. Furthermore, deflector plates 15 for adjusting the boundary layer and deflector plates 20 for collecting the aerosol are provided.
- the rolls 31 can also be coated with a vaporizable liquid, for example by an application roll 33 which dips into a corresponding liquid bath 34 . Finally, it is possible to ensure that the rolls are cooled from the inside, for example by washing with a cooling liquid (not shown here).
- FIG. 6 shows a further variant in which the cooling surfaces are formed by revolving belts 35 , for example of metal or an absorptive textile. This variant is particularly suitable if the cooling surface is to be moistened or is to be cleaned in the liquid bath 40 .
- FIG. 7 shows a variant in which the aerosol-free boundary layers 5 are produced without moving parts.
- the boundary layer is produced according to the invention by the permeation of a gas through a porous surface 50 .
- the flame 10 is centered at the middle of the gap and the formation of turbulences is prevented.
- a device according to FIG. 8 is used.
- This device corresponds to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , except that the cooling surface is provided in the form of a metal surface which is cooled from the back by water.
- a further distinguishing feature is the direction of flow.
- an upward-directed flow of the flame and of the combustion gases is preferred instead of a downward-directed flow.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to carbon black, a method for the production of carbon black or other flame aerosols, and a device for carrying out said method.
- By means of the method according to the invention, it is intended to produce carbon black in the form of aerosols having reproducible and adjustable properties. Such properties are the carbon black concentration and the particle size distribution, the agglomeration state and the chemical composition. Such aerosols are required in order to test, for example, filters, electrostatic separators or catalysts with regard to the separation of carbon black. Furthermore, the aerosols thus obtained can be separated in order to produce, for example, pigments or fillers.
- The process is also suitable for producing other aerosols producible in flames, such as, for example, SiO2 or TiO2 having particular properties.
- The literature has to date disclosed 2 methods for producing test aerosols from carbon black.
- In the arc method (C. Helsper, W. Mölter, G. Wenninger: Investigation of a New Aerosol Generator for the Production of Carbon Aggregate Particles. Atmospheric Environment, Vol. 27A (1993), pp 1271-1275), an arc is ignited at short time intervals between two carbon electrodes which are present in argon gas. A small amount of the electrode material is vaporized and condenses in the argon stream to form fine carbon black particles which are discharged with the argon stream. The method has two disadvantages: firstly, the carbon black produced consists exclusively of carbon whereas real carbon black always contain proportions of hydrocarbons and oxygen which influence the properties to a very great extent. Secondly, only very small amounts of aerosol which are generally not sufficient for the abovementioned applications can be produced by this method.
- In the quench gas method (L. Jing: Neuer Russgenerator für Verbrennungsruβteilchen zur Kalibrierung von Partikelmessgeräten [New carbon black generator for combustion carbon black particles for the calibration of particle measurement devices]. OFMETInfo Vol. 7 (2000), no. 2, pp 8-12), a diffusion flame is cooled by supplying a large amount of quench gas (e.g. nitrogen) and is extinguished. In this method, it is true that carbon blacks having a realistic chemical composition are produced. The very high consumption of quench gas, which gives rise to considerable costs, is problematic. This type of carbon black aerosol generator has therefore also been realized to date only for very small flow rates.
- It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a method by means of which large amounts of carbon black aerosol can be provided economically and with little effort.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide a carbon black which can form a stable dispersion and at the same time has high purity.
- The object is achieved, according to the invention, by a method having the feature of
claim 1. This method comprises a combination of the following steps: -
- a) removal of the heat from the flame by thermal conduction and/or radiation, the heat being released at a solid, cold surface or a liquid surface,
- b) formation of a thin gas boundary layer, for example of air, between the flame and the cooling surface, in order to prevent the accumulation of aerosol particles on the surface,
- c) acceleration or expansion of the flow formed by the flame and the boundary layer, in order to keep the flow laminar and to achieve as thin a boundary layer as possible,
- d) withdrawal of the aerosol formed from the vicinity of the cold surface and
- e) cleaning of the cooling surface.
- The method is based on the gas black or channel method which is known from industrial carbon black production and is modified so that the carbon black is obtained predominantly as an aerosol. In the gas black or channel method, a diffusion flame is directed against a cold metal surface, the carbon black being deposited directly from the flame on the cold surface and being scraped off from the surface later on.
- In the present invention, too, a cold surface is used in order to withdraw as much heat as possible from the flame. At the same time, however, the carbon black is prevented from settling on the cold surface. This takes place according to the invention by virtue of the fact that a thin boundary layer of particle-free gas is inserted between the flame and the cold surface. Owing to the very high heat removal by the surface, it is possible to use an oxygen-containing gas, such as, for example, air, for the production of the boundary layer. However, it is also possible to supply an oxygen-free gas (e.g. N2, CO2), or a boundary layer having a low oxygen content can be produced by evaporating a thin water film present on the cooling surface directly by the heat of the flame.
- A sufficiently thick-walled body of metal or another highly thermally conductive material can advantageously be used as the cold surface. In addition, the surface can be cooled from the back by means of water or air. However, a flowing liquid film which, by convection and by evaporation, can remove the heat to be removed from the flame can also be used as the cold surface. Preferred developments of the method are evident from subclaims 2 to 12 relating to
claim 1. - The object set at the outset is also achieved by a device for carrying out the abovementioned method according to the invention, in which, in addition to a flame generation setup and a cooling surface against which the flame produced can be directed, a setup for producing a gaseous boundary layer between surface and flame is present. Preferred developments of the device according to the invention are evident from subclaims 14 to 20 relating to claim 13.
- Further details and advantages of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to subclaims shown in the drawing.
-
FIG. 1 schematically shows a plurality of working examples of the device according to the invention and -
FIG. 2-8 show further schematic embodiments of the device according to the invention. - As shown in
FIG. 1 with reference to different configurations, aflame 10 is directed against thecooling surface 1, aboundary layer 5 being produced between theflame 10 and cooling surface. According toFIG. 1 a, the boundary layers are produced by moving the cooling surface perpendicularly to the axis of theflame 10 in the direction of the arrow. InFIG. 1 b, thecooling surface 1 is moved obliquely relative to the axis of theflame 10. - As shown in
FIG. 1 c, it is additionally possible to provide anadjustable deflector plate 15 that permits adjustment of the boundary layer thickness and prevents the flame from being disturbed by turbulences. A further variant corresponding toFIG. 1 c envisages that the deflector plate is provided with afeed 16 for a gas in order to enrich the boundary layer with a desired special gas, for example N2. - Alternatively or additionally, a film of water or of another readily vaporizable, nonflammable liquid can be applied to the cooling surface in order to improve the cooling effect and at the same time develop a vapor boundary layer having a flame-cooling effect when the hot flame gases are in contact with the surface. The liquid film can be produced in a known manner, for example by spraying on the liquid, by immersing the surface in a bath, by application rolls, etc. It may be advantageous to roughen the surface and to coat it with a thin layer of an absorptive material.
- In further methods for producing a suitable boundary layer, the cooling surface is formed by a flowing, vaporizable liquid or consists of a porous material, e.g. sintered material, from which a gas or vaporizable liquid emerges.
- Disturbance of the boundary layer by turbulences can be particularly effectively avoided if the aerosol production takes place in an accelerated flow. As shown in
FIG. 2 , a flow channel between twocooling surfaces 1 can be formed for this purpose, it being possible to keep theflame 10 to be cooled and the surroundingboundary layers 5 in a laminar flow state in theconvergent part 12 of a channel up to the narrowest point in spite of high flow velocities. This effect can also be achieved in a convergent nozzle having a cooling surface. In the embodiment of the invention shown inFIG. 2 , the cooling surface is provided in the form of a water film 2. As a result of the downward-directed and accelerated flow of theflame 10 and of the combustion gases, the generation of turbulences and hence the undesired mixing of the resulting carbonblack aerosol 11 with the gas or vapor in the boundary layer are substantially avoided. - In spite of the boundary layer, it is possible for a small part of the carbon black produced to be deposited on the cooling surface. It is therefore possible to ensure that the cooling surface is moved past a scraper, a brush, a compressed air nozzle, a liquid bath or another suitable device for keeping the surface clean.
- In the production of carbon black, there is a particular difficulty that a considerable part of the aerosol is present in the direct vicinity of the cooling surface. As a result of the movement of the cooling surface or as a result of flow turbulences, this part of the aerosol may be distributed in an uncontrolled manner or may be deposited on the surface. However, in order to remove the carbon black aerosols as directly as possible and with little loss, it is intended in an embodiment according to
FIG. 3 to scrape off the aerosol close to the surface directly after its production by adeflector plate 20 from the cooling surface and to collect said aerosol. Alternatively or additionally, a gas stream which detaches the aerosol from the cooling surface can be fed through a nozzle not shown here. -
FIG. 4 shows an arrangement in which the cooling surface is realized by ametal plate 4 rotating about ahorizontal axis 3. For cooling and for coating with a liquid film, themetal plate 4 can be immersed in awater bath 6. In the upper part, one ormore flames 10 are directed toward themetal plate 4 from one side or from both sides. In addition,deflector plates 15 for adjusting the boundary layer and adeflector plate 20 for collecting the aerosol are provided. The metal plate can be cleaned by a scraper or a brush (not shown here), by a gas jet or by subjecting to ultrasound during the passage through the water bath. - The device shown in
FIG. 4 is especially suitable for producing the carbon black by the combustion of gases or vaporized liquids. If the carbon black is to be produced on the basis of a flammable liquid, the arrangement shown inFIG. 5 is particularly advantageous since theflame 10 is perpendicular and is produced by means of awick burner 30. A further peculiarity is that two cooling surfaces are provided by tworotating rolls 31. According to the invention, it is intended that the distance between the rolls, the rotational speed of the rolls and the pressure difference present at the roll gap are adjustable in order to draw out the flame to a thin layer and to cool it particularly rapidly. Furthermore,deflector plates 15 for adjusting the boundary layer anddeflector plates 20 for collecting the aerosol are provided. If required, therolls 31 can also be coated with a vaporizable liquid, for example by anapplication roll 33 which dips into a correspondingliquid bath 34. Finally, it is possible to ensure that the rolls are cooled from the inside, for example by washing with a cooling liquid (not shown here). -
FIG. 6 shows a further variant in which the cooling surfaces are formed by revolvingbelts 35, for example of metal or an absorptive textile. This variant is particularly suitable if the cooling surface is to be moistened or is to be cleaned in theliquid bath 40. - The other components in the embodiment according to
FIG. 6 correspond to those according toFIG. 5 , so that they require no further explanation here. - Finally,
FIG. 7 shows a variant in which the aerosol-free boundary layers 5 are produced without moving parts. In this case, the boundary layer is produced according to the invention by the permeation of a gas through aporous surface 50. By applying a pressure difference for accelerating the flow in the gap, theflame 10 is centered at the middle of the gap and the formation of turbulences is prevented. - In a preferred embodiment, a device according to
FIG. 8 is used. This device corresponds to the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 , except that the cooling surface is provided in the form of a metal surface which is cooled from the back by water. A further distinguishing feature is the direction of flow. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 8 , an upward-directed flow of the flame and of the combustion gases is preferred instead of a downward-directed flow. - The method according to the invention can also be combined with the aerosol method described in DE 103 51 737.5, in order to achieve a corresponding reduction of structure. There, a salt solution, for example a potassium salt solution, is converted by means of a gas into an aerosol and then introduced into the carbon black formation zone. For example, in the preferred embodiment according to
FIG. 8 , the aerosol can be mixed into the carbon black raw material before the burner or can be sprayed in together with the carbon black raw material. - The invention furthermore relates to an unclassified, untreated carbon black which is characterized in that the pH is less than or equal to 6.0, preferably less than or equal to 5.0, particularly preferably less than or equal to 4.0, the residue on ignition is less than or equal to 0.1%, preferably less than or equal to 0.05%, particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.02%, and the 5 μm sieve residue is less than or equal to 200 ppm, preferably less than or equal to 150 ppm, particularly preferably less than or equal to 100 ppm.
- Untreated carbon black is understood as meaning a carbon black which has not been aftertreated, for example by subsequent oxidation or chemical surface modification. Unclassified carbon black is understood as meaning a carbon black which has not been classified with the aid of an air stream.
- The unclassified, untreated carbon black may be a gas black, furnace black, channel black, flame black, inversion carbon black, disclosed in DE 195 21 565, doped carbon black, thermal black, acetylene black, arc black or plasma carbon black.
- The carbon black according to the invention may have a transmittance of greater than or equal to 95%, preferably greater than or equal to 97%, particularly preferably greater than or equal to 98%.
- The carbon black according to the invention may have a moisture content at 950° C. of greater than or equal to 1.0%, preferably greater than or equal to 1.5%, particularly preferably greater than or equal to 2.0%.
- The carbon black according to the invention may have an oil requirement of greater than or equal to 250 ml/100 g, preferably greater than or equal to 300 ml/100 g, particularly preferably greater than or equal to 350 ml/100 g.
- The carbon black according to the invention can be used as a filler, reinforcing filler, UV stabilizer, conductivity carbon black or pigment.
- The carbon black according to the invention can be used in rubber, plastic, printing inks, inks, inkjet inks, toners, finishes, paints, paper, bitumen, concrete and other construction materials. The carbon black according to the invention can be used as a reducing agent in metallurgy.
- The carbon blacks according to the invention have the advantages that they form a stable dispersion (low pH) and at the same time have high purity (low ash content and low 5 μm sieve residue). The high purity results in substantial advantages in use. The low content of soluble substances (low ash content) permits the production of very stable dispersions, for example aqueous or solvent-containing dispersions for coating applications or inks. This has advantages in production and storage. The high stability of such dispersions permits an increase in the solids content, which in turn has numerous advantages, such as, for example, reduced production and transport costs.
- Furthermore, such dispersions are distinguished by a longer shelf life.
- The low content of insoluble particulate substances permits the production of films and finishes having few specks. Furthermore, the abrasion of printing plates, for example in newspaper printing, is reduced, with the result that the crispness of the printed image is maintained for longer. In addition, longer service lives of filters and strainer sieves are obtained, for example in the production of ink formulations and plastics masterbatches.

- The ΔD50 value is the width of the aggregate size distribution curve at half peak height. The Dw value is the volume-weighted mean value of the aggregate size distribution. The Dmode value (modal value) is the aggregate size with the greatest frequency (peak maximum of the aggregate size distribution curve).
- In a device according to
FIG. 8 , the carbon blacks according to the invention are prepared using the settings stated in table 1. The fuel used is acetylene. This can optionally be produced by air or pure oxygen. A static mixer ensures sufficient mixing of the two gases before entry into the burner nozzle. The burner nozzle used consists of three rectangular slots which are arranged a distance of 10 mm apart. The slot width is 0.1 mm and theslot length 10 mm, so that a total nozzle cross-sectional area of 3 mm2 results. The burner nozzle is shown as a plan view inFIG. 9 . The resulting flame is finally sucked into the actual cooling gap by applying reduced pressure and is quenched. The carbon black is then separated from the waste gases and is analyzed.TABLE 1 Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Flame premix acetylene/— acetylene/ acetylene/ acetylene/ air oxygen oxygen Standard 74/— 74/52 74/31 74/37 volume flow rates [L/h] Width and 1/140 1/140 1/140 1/140 length of the cooling gap [mm] Cooling 2820 2820 2820 2820 surface in gap [mm2] Pressure 11 3 2.5 1.6 difference at the cooling gap [mbar] Distance 100 80 80 60 between burner nozzle and cooling gap [mm] - Table 2 shows the analytical values of the carbon blacks according to the invention. In addition, the analytical values of comparative carbon blacks are shown. The comparative carbon blacks are prepared by the Degussa gas black method described in DE-A 2404536 but, in contrast to the commercial product, are not classified.
