Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine calcium carbonate particles, a preparation method and application thereof. The calcium carbonate product can be used for manufacturing cigarette paper, and belongs to the technical field of calcium carbonate inorganic salt special materials. Background Art

[0002] Cigarette paper is a special paper with controlled air permeability and combustibility. By adding special calcium carbonate into the fiber to match its burning speed and facilitate the shaping of the ash, it is a widely used technical means in high-end cigarette paper. Special calcium carbonate becomes the key material, with a specific surface area greater than 5m 2 / g (primary particles less than 1.0μm) and moderately agglomerated spindle or plum blossom-shaped crystal structures are two essential technical characteristics of this specialty calcium carbonate. The so-called high specific surface area requires that the spindle-shaped primary particles be smaller than 1.0μm, ensuring the development of breathable micropores in the cigarette paper while providing opacity (the hiding power of calcium carbonate). Moderate agglomeration can reduce calcium carbonate loss during the papermaking process and provide ash formation strength. Generally, the largest calcium carbonate agglomerates in high-end cigarette paper are preferably less than 7μm.

[0003] According to the research of Cai Xiaoming et al. (Cai Xiaoming, Morphological characteristics and optimization control of calcium carbonate for high-end cigarette paper, Paper Chemicals, Issue 5, 2010), the use of spindle-shaped narrow-distribution calcium carbonate (narrow particle size distribution calcium carbonate PCC is considered to be one of the important characteristics of PCC for cigarette paper; and PCC for high-end cigarette paper has a relatively complete spindle-shaped crystal form, uniform and neat particle size, and the particle size is mainly distributed in the range of 1 to 2 μm, without large particles) can achieve the purpose of high-end cigarette paper calcium application. At the same time, they also studied this spindle-shaped agglomerate narrow-distribution calcium carbonate The preparation method uses citric acid as an auxiliary agent, stirs and carbonizes in a 5% low-concentration calcium hydroxide emulsion, and the starting temperature is 45-65°C to obtain spindle-shaped narrow-distribution calcium carbonate. Mizhuang Lime's Japanese patent application JPA198590818 discloses a method using cubic nano-calcium carbonate as a seed crystal and aging it for one week, then adding calcium hydroxide for secondary carbonization. Under a certain seed crystal ratio, spindle-shaped calcium carbonate of 0.1-1.0 μm can be prepared. Shiraishi Industry first conducted a calcium hydroxide emulsion test in its JPS5373498A application. Mechanical grinding pretreatment is performed, and then the initial concentration of calcium hydroxide is adjusted to 3-10%wt and carbonized at 5-30℃ to obtain spindle-shaped calcium carbonate of 0.1-1.0μm. Obviously, the particles obtained by these two patented methods are too small and not suitable for cigarette paper. Public information similar to the method applied by Shiraishi Industry JPS5373498A is also available in the Chinese patent application CN113104878A of East China University of Science and Technology, a method for preparing light calcium carbonate for cigarette paper. From the analysis of existing technical solutions, the concentration of calcium hydroxide in the existing technology is generally maintained at 4-8 %wt, using secondary carbonization of nano-calcium seeds or auxiliary technical means such as additives, which leads to low calcium carbonate production capacity and high economic cost pressure. In order to increase production capacity, it is relatively difficult to prepare spindle-shaped narrow-distribution calcium carbonate that meets both the conditions of primary crystals less than 1.0μm and aggregates less than 7μm under high calcium hydroxide concentration conditions. In other words, there is still a lack of advanced and applicable technical solutions to control small particle agglomeration and obtain spindle-shaped calcium carbonate with good dispersion. In order to overcome the above technical defects, the technical solution of the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems and to provide a technical solution for a spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine calcium carbonate particle and a preparation method thereof, wherein the spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine calcium carbonate particle is prepared at a relatively high calcium hydroxide concentration.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned purpose are as follows:

[0006] The present invention provides a spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine calcium carbonate particle, wherein the spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine calcium carbonate particle has a specific surface area of ​​5.5 to 9.5 m 2 / g,D 50 2.20~2.80μm, D 97 5.20-6.50 μm, oil absorption value 32-45 gDOP / 100 g, sedimentation volume 4.5-7.8 mL / g. By adopting the technical solution, the hiding power of calcium carbonate is further improved.

[0007] Preferably, the primary particle size of the spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine calcium carbonate particles is not greater than 1.0 μm.

[0008] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine particles of calcium carbonate, wherein the method comprises continuously introducing a gas containing carbon dioxide into a calcium hydroxide emulsion having a concentration of 10 to 14% by weight and a temperature of 31 to 33° C., and carbonizing the solution under additional shearing and stirring conditions until the pH drops to a target value. The reaction is terminated to obtain the spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine particles of calcium carbonate.

[0009] By adopting the technical solution, under shear conditions, while satisfying the concentration and temperature conditions, the size of the spindle-shaped agglomerates can be effectively controlled and good repeatability can be obtained. However, at a relatively low calcium hydroxide emulsion concentration, for example, about 7% wt, the same shear conditions cannot achieve the purpose of the invention. Below the temperature range, the BET value of the product exceeds the required range of the present invention, and more oval and spherical particles appear in the product. At an initial temperature above the range of the invention, more slender needles or rods appear, and the BET value is also low, which does not meet the purpose of the invention and the calcium carbonate of the present invention cannot be obtained.

[0010] Preferably, the preparation method of the calcium hydroxide emulsion is not particularly limited, and an existing method of lime digestion can be adopted, and there is no particular limitation on the lime; after digestion, the concentration of the lime milk is adjusted with water and adjusted to within a specified temperature range, and then the carbonization process can be carried out.

[0011] Preferably, the carbon dioxide content and gas flow rate of the carbon dioxide-containing gas have negligible effects on the reaction structure. The gas may be pure CO2 gas, or a gas containing 1% to 99% carbon dioxide by volume; more preferably, the carbon dioxide content is 24% to 40% by volume; the gas may be purified lime kiln gas; and more preferably, the gas flow rate of the carbon dioxide-containing gas is 1.0 to 1.62 L / min / L of emulsion. This solution has certain economic advantages and is more easily applicable to current production lines.

[0012] Preferably, the shear stirring can be carried out in different ways: 1) by setting a shear device inside the reaction device, that is, setting a shear device inside the reactor or bubble tower, to carry out shear stirring, and / or, 2) by setting a shear circulation pump outside the reaction device to carry out shear stirring.

[0013] More preferably, the annular gap of the shearing device or shear circulation pump does not exceed 2.0 mm, and / or the relative linear velocity of the moving and stationary disks forming the annular gap is 18 to 25 m / s. By adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the product particle size can be better controlled with lower energy consumption. However, at lower shear speeds, the agglomerate size of the product can easily exceed the aforementioned inventive range, affecting the hiding power of the calcium carbonate. At higher shear speeds, energy consumption is excessively high, and the tips of the spindle-shaped particles may be broken, which may affect the bulk and hiding power of the cigarette paper when used, hindering its application in papermaking.

[0014] Preferably, the reaction is terminated after carbonization until the pH drops to no more than 6.5. More preferably, after carbonization to a pH value no more than 6.5, carbonization is continued for 5-10 minutes to further ensure complete carbonization. More preferably, after the carbonization reaction is completed, conventional post-processing steps are performed to obtain calcium carbonate dry powder. More preferably, the post-processing steps may include at least one of filtration, drying, crushing, and screening.

[0015] The present invention also provides an application of the spindle-shaped dispersible ultrafine calcium carbonate particles in the field of papermaking.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The present invention's spindle-shaped dispersed ultrafine calcium carbonate particles have primary particles smaller than 1.0 μm, and the aggregated particles exhibit a narrow particle size distribution, large sedimentation volume, and excellent hiding power. The absence of additives makes them particularly suitable for the production of high-end cigarette paper and possesses broad market application prospects. The present invention's method for preparing spindle-shaped ultrafine calcium carbonate particles enables the production of narrowly distributed ultrafine calcium carbonate at relatively high concentrations. The product's performance indicators are stable and controllable, offering significant economic advantages and suitability for large-scale industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The reaction conditions embodied in the summary of the invention of the present invention are all capable of achieving the described reactions and obtaining products with the desired effects. Due to space limitations, some examples are listed below to further illustrate the advantages of the technical solutions of the present invention.

[0029] In the present invention, the specific surface area of ​​calcium carbonate is tested by weighing 0.2-0.5 g of calcium carbonate powder into a quartz sample tube, measuring the nitrogen adsorption amount using a JW-BK400 specific surface area and pore size analyzer (Beijing Jingwei Gaobo Science and Technology Co., Ltd.), and calculating the specific surface area (BET) of the calcium carbonate product. 2 / g).

[0030] Calcium carbonate particle morphology scanning electron microscopy test method: take a dry powder sample, spray the powder on a single crystal silicon substrate, and use low-temperature plasma gold spraying for 50 seconds to prepare a scanning electron microscope sample. Use PHENOMPRO (PHENOM-World, the Netherlands) to observe and photograph at different magnifications to obtain SEM photos.

[0031] Determination of calcium carbonate content, pH value, sedimentation volume, oil absorption value, and particle size distribution: in accordance with the "Analysis Method of Calcium Carbonate" standard GB / T 19281-2014, 3.3 Determination of Calcium Content, 3.18 Determination of pH, 3.22 Determination of Sedimentation Volume, 3.20 Determination of Oil Absorption, 3.26.2.2 Laser Particle Size Analyzer Method.

[0032] Determination of hiding power of calcium carbonate:

[0033] Binder, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) brand 1788, chemically pure.

[0034] Coating sample preparation: Weigh 17.4 g of PVA into 180 g of distilled water in a waterbath at 60°C and stir until the PVA is completely dissolved. Weigh 20 g of dry calcium carbonate (calcium carbonate powder passed through a 320-mesh sieve) and add it to the stirred PVA solution.

Aeration was continued for 5 minutes, then aeration was stopped, and the emulsifier was stopped.

[0048] The calcium carbonate suspension was discharged from the carbonization cylinder and filtered. The filter cake was placed in a 100°C forced air oven and dried for 4 hours. It was crushed by a powder beater and sieved through a 200-mesh sieve to obtain calcium carbonate dry powder. The calcium carbonate content was 98.63%. The other properties are shown in Table 1. The electron microscope photo of the calcium carbonate sample is attached. Figure 3 .From the attached Figure 3 As can be seen from the photos, most of the primary particle crystals are spindle-shaped, and the maximum size of the agglomerate particles is less than 7μm.

[0052] Example 5

[0053] The same as Example 3, except that the calcium hydroxide concentration was 14.00% wt, the temperature was 31.2° C., the shear linear velocity was set to 18.0 m / s, the carbon dioxide concentration was 24.1% V, the gas flow rate was 29.0 L / min, and the corresponding gas velocity was 1.61 L / min / L emulsion.
