Description
本発明は、ジルコニアの微粉末、特に部分安定化ジルコニアまたは安定化ジルコニアの粉末およびそれらの前駆体の製造方法に関する。なお、本明細書においては、部分安定化ジルコニアおよび安定化ジルコニアを総称して、安定化ジルコニアと呼ぶ。 The present invention relates to a process for producing fine zirconia powder, in particular partially stabilized zirconia or stabilized zirconia powder and precursors thereof. In the present specification, partially stabilized zirconia and stabilized zirconia are collectively referred to as stabilized zirconia.
ジルコニアは、高融点のセラミックスであり、耐熱性や耐食性に優れているので、ファインセラミックスの分野では重要な材料の一つであり、一般には焼結体で用いられることが多い。ジルコニアは常温では単斜晶系であるが、温度を上げて行くと、その結晶系が正方晶系に相転移する。この相転移は可逆的なものであるが、単斜晶系から正方晶系への相転移は、約４％の体積収縮を伴うので、ジルコニアの焼結体は、昇降温を繰り返すことにより、破壊に至る。この破壊を防ぐために、ジルコニアに酸化イットリウム、希土類酸化物、酸化カルシウム、酸化マグネシウム、酸化アルミニウム等の安定化剤を固溶させたものが安定化ジルコニアであり、安定化剤の含有量の少ないものが部分安定化ジルコニア、安定化剤の含有量の多いものが安定化ジルコニアである。従って、ジルコニア焼結体の破壊を抑制するためには、焼結原料である安定化ジルコニア粉末中に安定化剤が均一に分布していることが必要となる。 Zirconia is a ceramic with a high melting point and is excellent in heat resistance and corrosion resistance. Therefore, zirconia is an important material in the field of fine ceramics, and is generally used in a sintered body. Zirconia is monoclinic at normal temperature, but when the temperature is raised, the crystal system undergoes phase transition to tetragonal system. Although this phase transition is reversible, the phase transition from the monoclinic system to the tetragonal system involves a volume shrinkage of about 4%. Therefore, the sintered body of zirconia is repeatedly heated and lowered, It leads to destruction. In order to prevent this destruction, stabilized zirconia is a product in which a stabilizer such as yttrium oxide, rare earth oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide is dissolved in zirconia, and has a low stabilizer content. Are partially stabilized zirconia, and those having a high stabilizer content are stabilized zirconia. Therefore, in order to suppress the destruction of the zirconia sintered body, it is necessary that the stabilizer is uniformly distributed in the stabilized zirconia powder as a sintering raw material.
この様な安定化ジルコニウム粉末の製造方法として、従来より各種の手段が用いられてきたが、その中で、低コストで一度に大量の粉末を製造することが可能な方法として、酸性の水溶液中に溶解したジルコニウムを出発物質とする方法が、特開昭６１−１４１６１９号公報（特許文献１）および特開２００３−２０６１３７号公報（特許文献２）に開示されている。
特許文献１および特許文献２に開示されている方法は、いずれも、ジルコニウム、安定化剤となる元素、および、硫酸塩イオンを含む酸性の水溶液を加熱して安定化元素を一部吸着若しくは取り込んだジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩を析出させた後、系のｐＨを上昇させてジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩を水酸化物に変換するとともに、安定化元素を水酸化物としてジルコニウムの水酸化物と共沈させ、得られたジルコニウムと安定化元素とを含む水酸化物を焙焼して安定化ジルコニア粉末を得るというものである。
Various methods have been conventionally used as a method for producing such stabilized zirconium powder. Among them, as a method capable of producing a large amount of powder at a low cost at one time, an acidic aqueous solution is used. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-141619 (Patent Document 1) and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-206137 (Patent Document 2) disclose a method using zirconium dissolved in a starting material.
In each of the methods disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, an acidic aqueous solution containing zirconium, an element serving as a stabilizer, and sulfate ions is heated to partially adsorb or incorporate the stabilizing element. After precipitation of zirconium basic sulfate, the pH of the system is raised to convert zirconium basic sulfate to hydroxide, and the stabilizing element is used as a hydroxide to coexist with zirconium hydroxide. The hydroxide containing zirconium and the stabilizing element obtained by precipitating is roasted to obtain a stabilized zirconia powder.
ところで、特許文献１および特許文献２に開示されている方法は、いずれも、ジルコニウム源としてオキシ塩化ジルコニウムを用いたものである。これは、酸性の水溶液中で可溶なジルコニウム塩で、実用上最も入手が容易なものが、オキシ塩化ジルコニウムであるためである。オキシ塩化ジルコニウムを水に溶解すると加水分解を起こし、ジルコニウムが一部水酸イオンと結合するとともに、塩化物イオンおよびプロトンを放出するため、オキシ塩化ジルコニウムの水溶液は強酸性を呈し、遊離の塩化物イオンを含むものとなる。 By the way, both methods disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 use zirconium oxychloride as a zirconium source. This is because zirconium oxychloride is the most readily available zirconium salt that is soluble in acidic aqueous solutions. When zirconium oxychloride is dissolved in water, it hydrolyzes, and some of the zirconium binds to hydroxide ions and releases chloride ions and protons. It will contain ions.
本発明者等の検討によると、オキシ塩化ジルコニウムの水溶液を出発物質として、その濃度を高くすると、得られる安定化ジルコニア粉末の品質にバラツキが生じ易く、仮焼工程後、常温で保存する際に、正方晶系から単斜晶系への相変態を起こし易いものが一部生成することが判明した。その原因として、オキシ塩化ジルコニウムの濃度の増加とともに水溶液中に放出される遊離の塩化物イオン濃度が増加し、ジルコニウムの水酸化物中へ安定化剤元素の均一な取り込みを阻害することが判明した。なお、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩を析出させる工程において、オキシ塩化ジルコニウムに由来する塩化物イオンは全て遊離し、次工程の中和処理において、ジルコニウムの水酸化物と安定化元素の水酸化物との均一な共沈を妨げることが推定された。この様な不均一性を回避するためには、安定化ジルコニア粉を得るためにより高温で焼成する必要があり、エネルギーコストが増大するという問題があった。従って、酸性の水溶液から安定化ジルコニア粉末を得る方法においては、出発物質である水溶液中の遊離の塩化物イオン濃度を低減する必要があったが、脱塩化物イオン処理を行うためには、高価な設備が必要であり、製造コストが増大するという問題があった。 According to the study by the present inventors, when the concentration of zirconium oxychloride aqueous solution as a starting material is increased, the quality of the resulting stabilized zirconia powder tends to vary, and when stored at room temperature after the calcination step, As a result, it was found that some of them easily undergo phase transformation from tetragonal system to monoclinic system. It was found that as the concentration of zirconium oxychloride increases, the concentration of free chloride ions released into the aqueous solution increases, which inhibits the uniform incorporation of stabilizer elements into the zirconium hydroxide. . In the step of precipitating the basic sulfate of zirconium, all the chloride ions derived from zirconium oxychloride are liberated, and in the neutralization treatment of the next step, the hydroxide of zirconium and the hydroxide of the stabilizing element It was estimated to prevent uniform coprecipitation of In order to avoid such non-uniformity, it is necessary to calcinate at a higher temperature in order to obtain a stabilized zirconia powder, resulting in an increase in energy cost. Therefore, in the method of obtaining stabilized zirconia powder from an acidic aqueous solution, it was necessary to reduce the free chloride ion concentration in the aqueous solution that is the starting material.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following. That is,
[1] Zirconium carbonate is dissolved in an aqueous solution in which zirconium oxychloride is dissolved, and the molar ratio of Zr / Cl in the aqueous solution exceeds 0.50 and is 1.00 or less, preferably 0.60 or more and 0.84 or less.

本発明の方法を用いることにより、酸性の水溶液を出発物質とした安定化ジルコニウム粉末およびその前駆体の製造方法において、低温焼結性に優れ、かつ、安定した品質の安定化ジルコニウム粉末およびその前駆体を安価に製造することが可能になった。 By using the method of the present invention, a stabilized zirconium powder starting from an acidic aqueous solution and a precursor thereof, and a method for producing the stabilized zirconium powder having excellent low-temperature sinterability and stable quality and the precursor thereof. It became possible to manufacture the body at a low cost.
［ジルコニウム源］
本発明の安定化ジルコニウム粉末およびその前駆体の製造方法においては、出発物質のジルコニウム源として、酸性の水溶液に可溶なオキシ塩化ジルコニウムを用い、さらにその水溶液に炭酸ジルコニウム塩を溶解する。本発明に使用可能な炭酸ジルコニウム塩としては、炭酸ジルコニウム、炭酸ジルコニウムアンモニウム等が挙げられる。炭酸ジルコニウム塩は、オキシ塩化ジルコニウム水溶液に固体状態で直接溶解することも可能であるが、反応の均一性の観点から、水溶液の状態でオキシ塩化ジルコニウム水溶液に混合することが好ましい。なお、これらの反応は、４５℃以下で行うことが好ましい。また、これらの反応は、公知の撹拌手段を用いて、撹拌条件下で行っても良い。
炭酸ジルコニウム塩の水溶液は、通常アルカリ性域で安定に用いられる。酸性域では炭酸基が安定に存在できず、炭酸ジルコニウム塩単独では急速に加水分解して水酸化物の沈殿を形成するが、オキシ塩化ジルコニウム水溶液に溶解した場合には、可溶性の状態を保つことが可能である。これは、炭酸ジルコニウム塩由来のジルコニウムが、水溶液中に存在していた可溶性のジルコニウム化合物と反応して、水酸基を含む可溶性の無機ポリマーを形成したためと考えられる。
本発明においては、全ジルコニウム濃度については特に規定するものではないが、炭酸ジルコニウム塩を溶解した時点で２.７７〜３.７８ｍｏｌ／Ｌとすることが好ましい。全ジルコニウム濃度が２.７７ｍｏｌ／Ｌ未満では、1回の処理により得られる安定化ジルコニウム粉末の量が少なく、製造コストの増大を招くので好ましくない。全ジルコニウム濃度が３.７８ｍｏｌ／Ｌを超えると、後述する硫酸塩イオンを添加した際に、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩が析出し易くなるので、好ましくない。すなわち、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩は難溶性の塩であり、全ジルコニウム濃度、硫酸塩イオン濃度および水酸イオン濃度のいずれかが増加しても、溶解度積を超えて当該塩が析出し易くなる。なお、最終生成物の均一性を得るためには、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩は、コントロールした条件下で析出させる必要がある。
[Zirconium source]
In the method for producing a stabilized zirconium powder and a precursor thereof according to the present invention, zirconium oxychloride soluble in an acidic aqueous solution is used as a starting zirconium source, and a zirconium carbonate salt is further dissolved in the aqueous solution. Examples of the zirconium carbonate salt that can be used in the present invention include zirconium carbonate and ammonium zirconium carbonate. The zirconium carbonate salt can be directly dissolved in a zirconium oxychloride aqueous solution in a solid state, but it is preferably mixed in the zirconium oxychloride aqueous solution in an aqueous solution from the viewpoint of uniformity of reaction. In addition, it is preferable to perform these reaction at 45 degrees C or less. In addition, these reactions may be performed under a stirring condition using a known stirring means.
An aqueous solution of zirconium carbonate is usually used stably in an alkaline region. Carbonic acid groups cannot exist stably in the acidic region, and zirconium carbonate alone hydrolyzes rapidly to form a hydroxide precipitate, but it remains soluble when dissolved in an aqueous zirconium oxychloride solution. Is possible. This is probably because zirconium derived from a zirconium carbonate salt reacted with a soluble zirconium compound present in the aqueous solution to form a soluble inorganic polymer containing a hydroxyl group.
In the present invention, the total zirconium concentration is not particularly specified, but it is preferably 2.77 to 3.78 mol / L when the zirconium carbonate salt is dissolved. If the total zirconium concentration is less than 2.77 mol / L, the amount of stabilized zirconium powder obtained by one treatment is small, which increases the manufacturing cost, which is not preferable. If the total zirconium concentration exceeds 3.78 mol / L, it is not preferable because the basic sulfate of zirconium is likely to precipitate when sulfate ions described later are added. That is, the basic sulfate of zirconium is a poorly soluble salt, and even if any of the total zirconium concentration, sulfate ion concentration and hydroxide ion concentration increases, the salt easily precipitates exceeding the solubility product. . In order to obtain the uniformity of the final product, the basic sulfate of zirconium needs to be precipitated under controlled conditions.
［Ｚｒ／Ｃｌ比］
本発明の安定化ジルコニウム粉末およびその前駆体の製造方法においては、オキシ塩化ジルコニウム水溶液に炭酸ジルコニウム塩を溶解した際の全ジルコニウム濃度と全塩化物イオン濃度とのモル比、Ｚｒ／Ｃｌ比、を０.５超え〜１、好ましくは０.６０〜０.８５とする。オキシ塩化ジルコニウム水溶液への炭酸ジルコニウム塩の添加は、少量でも遊離塩化物イオン濃度の低減に効果を有するが、Ｚｒ／Ｃｌ比を０.６０以上とすることにより、その効果がより一層明確になる。Ｚｒ／Ｃｌ比が１を超えると、後述する硫酸塩イオンを添加した際に、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩が析出し易くなるので、好ましくない。すなわち、酸性水溶液中への炭酸ジルコニウム塩の添加は、加水分解による中和現象でもあり、ジルコニウムと結合する水酸イオンの数を増加させるため、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩を析出し易くすることになる。なお、例えば、Ｚｒ／Ｃｌ比が１の場合、全塩化物イオン濃度は初期の１／２となり、それに応じて遊離の塩化物イオン濃度も減少する。
[Zr / Cl ratio]
In the method for producing the stabilized zirconium powder and the precursor thereof according to the present invention, the molar ratio of the total zirconium concentration to the total chloride ion concentration when the zirconium carbonate salt is dissolved in the zirconium oxychloride aqueous solution, the Zr / Cl ratio, More than 0.5 to 1, preferably 0.60 to 0.85. Addition of a zirconium carbonate salt to a zirconium oxychloride aqueous solution is effective in reducing the free chloride ion concentration even in a small amount, but the effect becomes even clearer when the Zr / Cl ratio is 0.60 or more. . If the Zr / Cl ratio exceeds 1, it is not preferable because the basic sulfate of zirconium is likely to precipitate when sulfate ions described later are added. In other words, the addition of zirconium carbonate salt in an acidic aqueous solution is also a neutralization phenomenon due to hydrolysis, and increases the number of hydroxide ions bound to zirconium, so that the basic sulfate of zirconium is easily precipitated. Become. For example, when the Zr / Cl ratio is 1, the total chloride ion concentration is ½ of the initial concentration, and the free chloride ion concentration also decreases accordingly.
［安定化元素］
本発明の安定化ジルコニウム粉末およびその前駆体の製造方法においては、ジルコニウム塩を最終的に焙焼してジルコニアとした際にそれを安定化させるために、オキシ塩化ジルコニウム水溶液に炭酸ジルコニウム塩を溶解した水溶液に、安定化元素の化合物を溶解する。安定化元素としては、希土類元素（例えばイットリウム）、マグネシウムおよびアルミニウムからなる群から選ばれる一種または二種以上を添加する。これらの安定化元素は酸化物や、塩化物等の塩の形態の固体状態で添加して溶解することも可能であるが、予め溶解して水溶液の形態で添加することが好ましい。なお、本発明において、安定化元素の添加量は特に規定するものではなく、オキシ塩化ジルコニウム水溶液に炭酸ジルコニウム塩を溶解した水溶液に含まれる全ジルコニウム量を最終的に安定化するのに必要な量を算出して添加すればよい。なお、これらの反応は、４５℃以下で行うことが好ましい。また、これらの反応は、公知の撹拌手段を用いて、撹拌条件下で行っても良い。
[Stabilizing elements]
In the production method of the stabilized zirconium powder and its precursor according to the present invention, the zirconium carbonate salt is dissolved in an aqueous zirconium oxychloride solution in order to stabilize the zirconium salt when it is finally roasted into zirconia. The stabilizing element compound is dissolved in the aqueous solution. As the stabilizing element, one or more selected from the group consisting of rare earth elements (for example, yttrium), magnesium and aluminum are added. These stabilizing elements can be added and dissolved in a solid state in the form of an oxide or a salt such as chloride, but it is preferable to dissolve in advance and add in the form of an aqueous solution. In the present invention, the addition amount of the stabilizing element is not particularly specified, and is an amount necessary for finally stabilizing the total amount of zirconium contained in the aqueous solution obtained by dissolving a zirconium carbonate salt in an aqueous zirconium oxychloride solution. May be calculated and added. In addition, it is preferable to perform these reaction at 45 degrees C or less. In addition, these reactions may be performed under a stirring condition using a known stirring means.
［ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩の析出］
前記のオキシ塩化ジルコニウム、炭酸ジルコニウム塩、および安定化元素の化合物を溶解した水溶液に、さらに硫酸塩イオンを溶解した後、その水溶液の温度を５０℃以上に上昇させ、安定化元素を一部吸着若しくは取り込んだジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩を析出させる。これは、ジルコニウムを含む酸性の水溶液を中和して、ジルコニウムの水酸化物を直接得ようとすると、沈殿形成反応が急速に進行し、生成する沈殿が不純物を含み易くなる等、不均質な水酸化物の沈殿となるので、反応速度を制御可能なジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩を一度経由して、均一なジルコニウムの水酸化物を得るものである。なお、本発明のオキシ塩化ジルコニウムと炭酸ジルコニウム塩を溶解した水溶液中に存在するジルコニウム化学種は、オキシ塩化ジルコニウム単独の水溶液中のそれと比較して多量の水酸基を含有し、オキシ塩化ジルコニウムと炭酸ジルコニウム塩を溶解した水溶液から出発した場合、オキシ塩化ジルコニウム単独の水溶液から出発した場合と比較して、低い温度でジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩の析出が開始するため、本発明の製造方法の方が、従来法と比較して、エネルギーコストが安くなるという、副次的なメリットも存在する。
[Deposition of basic sulfate of zirconium]
After further dissolving sulfate ions in an aqueous solution in which the zirconium oxychloride, zirconium carbonate salt and stabilizing element compound are dissolved, the temperature of the aqueous solution is increased to 50 ° C. or more, and the stabilizing element is partially adsorbed. Alternatively, the incorporated basic sulfate of zirconium is precipitated. This is because when an acidic aqueous solution containing zirconium is neutralized to obtain a zirconium hydroxide directly, the precipitate formation reaction proceeds rapidly, and the resulting precipitate is likely to contain impurities. Since precipitation of hydroxide occurs, uniform zirconium hydroxide is obtained once through a basic sulfate of zirconium capable of controlling the reaction rate. The zirconium species present in the aqueous solution in which the zirconium oxychloride and zirconium carbonate salt of the present invention are dissolved contains a larger amount of hydroxyl groups than that in the aqueous solution of zirconium oxychloride alone. When starting from an aqueous solution in which a salt is dissolved, since the precipitation of basic sulfate of zirconium starts at a lower temperature than when starting from an aqueous solution of zirconium oxychloride alone, the production method of the present invention is more There is also a secondary merit that energy costs are reduced compared to conventional methods.
本発明において使用可能な硫酸塩イオンの添加源としては、硫酸ナトリウム、硫酸アンモニウム等の可溶性硫酸塩が挙げられるが、本発明の一連の工程の終了後の排水処理の負荷を考慮すると、硫酸ナトリウムの使用が好ましい。
本発明における硫酸塩イオンの添加量としては、全ジルコニウム濃度１ｍｏｌ／Ｌに対して好ましくは０.４〜０.５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ、より好ましくは０.４５〜０.４８ｍｏｌ／Ｌの範囲とする。硫酸塩イオンの添加量が０.４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ未満では、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩の析出が生起し難くなり、硫酸塩イオンの添加量が０.５ｍｏｌ／Ｌを超えると、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩ではなく、ジルコニウムの硫酸塩が生成するようになる。
本発明において、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩の析出速度は、その反応温度によってコントロールされる。すなわち、ジルコニウムと硫酸塩イオンとを含む水溶液の液温を上昇すると水の解離が促進され、水酸イオン濃度が増加することにより、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩の溶解度積を超えることになる。因みに、水の解離積ＫWは、２５℃で１.００×１０-14であるが、５０℃では５.４７×１０-14である。本発明においては、ジルコニウム、安定化元素および硫酸塩イオンを含む水溶液の昇温速度は特に規定するものではないが、０.４３〜０.８７℃／ｍｉｎが好ましい。昇温速度が０.４３℃／ｍｉｎ未満では、反応に時間が掛かりすぎ、０.８７℃／ｍｉｎを超えると、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩の析出速度が速くなり、得られる沈殿が不均一なものとなり易い。なお、昇温速度を変化させることにより、種結晶の発生状況が変化するため、最終的に得られるジルコニウムの水酸化物の凝集状態を変化させることが可能である。ジルコニウム、安定化元素および硫酸塩イオンを含む水溶液の到達温度（保持温度）は５０℃以上とする。到達温度が５０℃未満では、反応に長時間を要するので好ましくない。なお、反応時間短縮の観点からは、到達温度を８０〜９０℃とするのが好ましい。本発明における反応溶液の到達温度の上限としては、１００℃（沸点）でも構わないが、反応の際の反応溶液からの水の蒸発が無視できなくなるので、到達温度を９０℃以下とするのが好ましい。到達温度（保持温度）における反応時間（保持時間）は３０〜６０分が適当である。また、これらの反応は、公知の撹拌手段を用いて、撹拌条件下で行っても良い。
Examples of the source of sulfate ions that can be used in the present invention include soluble sulfates such as sodium sulfate and ammonium sulfate, but considering the load of wastewater treatment after the completion of the series of steps of the present invention, Use is preferred.
The addition amount of sulfate ions in the present invention is preferably 0.4 to 0.5 mol / L, more preferably 0.45 to 0.48 mol / L with respect to the total zirconium concentration of 1 mol / L. When the addition amount of sulfate ion is less than 0.4 mol / L, precipitation of basic sulfate of zirconium hardly occurs, and when the addition amount of sulfate ion exceeds 0.5 mol / L, basic sulfate of zirconium Zirconium sulfate is produced instead of salt.
In the present invention, the precipitation rate of the basic sulfate of zirconium is controlled by the reaction temperature. That is, when the liquid temperature of an aqueous solution containing zirconium and sulfate ions is increased, the dissociation of water is promoted, and the hydroxide ion concentration increases, thereby exceeding the solubility product of zirconium basic sulfate. Incidentally, the dissociation product K W of water is 1.00 × 10 −14 at 25 ° C., but 5.47 × 10 −14 at 50 ° C. In the present invention, the rate of temperature rise of the aqueous solution containing zirconium, stabilizing element and sulfate ion is not particularly specified, but is preferably 0.43 to 0.87 ° C./min. When the rate of temperature rise is less than 0.43 ° C./min, the reaction takes too much time, and when it exceeds 0.87 ° C./min, the precipitation rate of the basic sulfate of zirconium is increased and the resulting precipitate is uneven. It tends to be a thing. It should be noted that, by changing the heating rate, the generation state of the seed crystals changes, so that it is possible to change the aggregation state of the finally obtained zirconium hydroxide. The ultimate temperature (holding temperature) of the aqueous solution containing zirconium, a stabilizing element and sulfate ions is 50 ° C. or higher. An ultimate temperature of less than 50 ° C. is not preferable because a long time is required for the reaction. In addition, from the viewpoint of shortening the reaction time, the ultimate temperature is preferably 80 to 90 ° C. The upper limit of the reached temperature of the reaction solution in the present invention may be 100 ° C. (boiling point). However, since the evaporation of water from the reaction solution during the reaction cannot be ignored, the reached temperature should be 90 ° C. or less. preferable. The reaction time (holding time) at the ultimate temperature (holding temperature) is suitably 30 to 60 minutes. In addition, these reactions may be performed under a stirring condition using a known stirring means.
［中和処理］
本発明においては、ジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩を析出させてスラリー状となった反応溶液に、引き続きアルカリを添加する中和処理を施し、塩基性硫酸塩に含まれる硫酸塩イオンを水酸イオンと置換することにより、ジルコニウムの水酸化物に変化させるとともに、安定化元素も水酸化物としてジルコニウムの水酸化物と共沈させ、ジルコニウムと安定化元素との複合水酸化物を得る。中和処理を行うｐＨは８〜１２が好ましく、９〜１１がより好ましい。ｐＨが８未満では、水酸イオンの置換反応に長時間を要するので好ましくない。また、ｐＨが１２を超えると、中和に必要な薬品量が増加するとともに、ジルコニウムおよび安定化元素の水酸化物中にアルカリカチオンが不純物として取り込まれ易くなるので好ましくない。中和処理には、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化アンモニウム等を使用することが出来る。本発明においては、中和処理の温度は特に規定するものではないが、反応促進の観点から、上述のジルコニウムの塩基性硫酸塩の析出の保持温度と同程度の高い温度で行うのが好ましい。中和処理の反応時間は、５０〜７０分が適当である。なお、これらの反応は、公知の撹拌手段を用いて、撹拌条件下で行っても良い。
[Neutralization treatment]
In the present invention, the reaction solution in which a basic sulfate of zirconium is precipitated to form a slurry is subjected to a neutralization treatment to subsequently add an alkali, and the sulfate ions contained in the basic sulfate are converted to hydroxide ions. By substitution, it is changed to a hydroxide of zirconium, and a stabilizing element is coprecipitated with a hydroxide of zirconium as a hydroxide to obtain a composite hydroxide of zirconium and a stabilizing element. 8-12 are preferable and, as for pH which performs a neutralization process, 9-11 are more preferable. A pH of less than 8 is not preferable because it takes a long time for the substitution reaction of hydroxide ions. On the other hand, if the pH exceeds 12, the amount of chemicals necessary for neutralization increases, and alkali cations are easily incorporated as impurities in the hydroxides of zirconium and stabilizing elements, which is not preferable. Sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, etc. can be used for the neutralization treatment. In the present invention, the temperature of the neutralization treatment is not particularly specified, but from the viewpoint of promoting the reaction, it is preferably performed at a temperature as high as the retention temperature for precipitation of the basic sulfate of zirconium described above. The reaction time for neutralization is suitably 50 to 70 minutes. In addition, you may perform these reaction on stirring conditions using a well-known stirring means.
［固液分離］
前記の中和処理工程において共沈した固相の複合水酸化物を、デカンテーション、濾過、遠心分離等の公知の固液分離手段に分離し、複合水酸化物を回収する。回収された複合水酸化物は、不純物として硫酸塩イオンやアルカリカチオンを含んでいるので、純水や希アンモニア水を用いて洗浄し、不純物を除去した後、公知の乾燥手段により脱水、乾燥する。
以上の一連の工程により、安定化ジルコニアの前駆体である、品質の均一性に優れるジルコニウムと安定化元素の複合水酸化物が得られる。
[Solid-liquid separation]
The solid phase composite hydroxide co-precipitated in the neutralization step is separated by a known solid-liquid separation means such as decantation, filtration, and centrifugation, and the composite hydroxide is recovered. Since the recovered composite hydroxide contains sulfate ions and alkali cations as impurities, it is washed with pure water or dilute ammonia water to remove impurities, and then dehydrated and dried by a known drying means. .
Through the series of steps described above, a composite hydroxide of zirconium and a stabilizing element, which is a precursor of stabilized zirconia and has excellent quality uniformity, is obtained.
［焙焼］
前記の安定化ジルコニアの前駆体である、ジルコニウムと安定化元素の複合水酸化物を、公知の加熱手段を用い、５００〜１２００℃、好ましくは７００〜１２００℃で焙焼することにより、品質の均一性に優れる安定化ジルコニアの粉体が得られる。所望の粒径の安定化ジルコニア粉末を得るためには、公知の粉砕手段を用いて、前記の安定化ジルコニアの粉体を粉砕すれば良い。
[Roasting]
The composite hydroxide of zirconium and a stabilizing element, which is a precursor of the above stabilized zirconia, is roasted at 500 to 1200 ° C., preferably 700 to 1200 ° C., using a known heating means. A stabilized zirconia powder having excellent uniformity can be obtained. In order to obtain stabilized zirconia powder having a desired particle size, the stabilized zirconia powder may be pulverized using a known pulverizing means.

In addition, the zirconium amount of the zirconium carbonate used here is a value calculated by assuming that the remaining amount is ZrO 2 from the weight reduction rate after 1000 ° C. ignition loss.
The first zirconium aqueous solution is diluted with pure water, and the second zirconium aqueous solution having a ZrO 2 concentration of 367.5 g / L and yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 99%) are dissolved in hydrochloric acid. An aqueous yttrium solution diluted to 180 g / L with a Y 2 O 3 concentration and anhydrous sodium sulfate powder (Na 2 SO 4 99.5%) were prepared as sulfate ion sources.
The second zirconium aqueous solution (626 mL) and the yttrium aqueous solution (66 mL) were mixed, and further pure water (1674 mL) was added to obtain 2366 mL of a raw material aqueous solution. The raw material aqueous solution at this time was colorless and transparent, and the liquid temperature was 28 ° C. This aqueous raw material solution has a ZrO 2 concentration of 100 g / L, and the stabilizer Y 2 O 3 is finally equivalent to 2.75 mol% as Y 2 O 3 / PSZ (PSZ is partially stabilized zirconia). It is the composition which becomes.
