Fastening sealing material and preparation method thereof
The application divides an application, the international application no of its female application is PCT/JP02/05124, the China national application number is 02801846.X, the applying date is on May 27th, 2002, denomination of invention is " alumina silica fibre, ceramic fiber, ceramic fiber complex, fastening sealing material and preparation method thereof, and the preparation method of alumina fiber complex "; The China national application number of its original application is 200510073566.8, and denomination of invention is " fastening sealing material and preparation method thereof ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to alumina silica fibre, ceramic fiber, ceramic fiber complex, fastening sealing material and preparation method thereof, and the preparation method of alumina fiber complex.
Background technology
In the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines of for example vehicles such as motorbus, truck and building machinery, contain the fine particle of influential environment and human body, this has become a problem.
Existing various ceramic fiber makes waste gas through the porous pottery, thereby the fine particle in the capture in flue gas is purified waste gas.
An example of this ceramic fiber is as Figure 16, in honeycomb filter 30, by binder layer 34 a plurality of porous ceramic components 40 are fixed, thereby the ceramic block 35 of formation column to have sealing material layer 33 around this column ceramic block 35.Figure 17 for another example, along the many through holes 42 of vertically being arranged with of this porous ceramic member 40, so, with through hole 42 separate each partition wall 43 that comes just as strainer.
In other words, shown in Figure 17 (b), each through hole 42 in the porous ceramic member 40 seals waste gas input terminus or output terminal with filler 41, thereby make the waste gas that flows into through hole 42 pass the partition wall 43 of separating through hole 42 always, then by another through hole 42; So when waste gas passed partition wall 43, fine particle was wherein caught by partition wall 43, thereby had purified waste gas.
In addition, be attached with sealing material layer 33 in the periphery of ceramic component 40, sealing material layer 33 can stop waste gas to be revealed away from the through hole 42 that is exposed to porous ceramic member 40 outsides.
On various forms of transport such as oversize vehicle and diesel motor car, used silicon carbide as the stupalith that constitutes such porous ceramic member 40 based on non-oxidized substance, described silicon carbide has excellent thermotolerance and is easy to advantage such as recovery.
In addition, except that described particle, described waste gas also contains CO, NOx, HC etc. are in order to remove these materials in the waste gas, someone proposes to adopt the catalytic convention design of purifying exhaust air, and in fact the shape with described honeycomb filter 30 is identical for this device, its inside deposition platinum catalyst for example.
In addition, in recent years, people study the clean energy of a new generation, and this energy wherein, it is believed that for example fuel cell is the energy that has very much prospect without the source of oil as energy.
Fuel cell adopt by hydrogen and oxygen reaction generate water and the electricity that obtains as the source of energy, its mode of operation is, from air, directly obtain oxygen, obtain hydrogen and adopt to wait through the methyl alcohol of modification and gasoline, these methyl alcohol and gasoline etc. are being carried out in the process of modification, need to adopt the catalytic convention design of purifying exhaust air, the shape of this device is in fact identical with described honeycomb filter 30, and portion has deposited copper-based catalysts within it.
Usually, the catalytic convention design of honeycomb filter 30, purifying exhaust air or the catalytic convention design of fuel cell etc. are positioned in the metal casing cylindraceous and use, at this moment, between the catalytic convention design of honeycomb filter 30, purifying exhaust air or the catalytic convention design of fuel cell etc. and described metal casing, there is the space, in order to fill this space, inserted fastening sealing material 50 as shown in figure 18 therein.
As shown in figure 18, fastening sealing material 50 has protruding joint portion 52, and this projection joint portion 52 is positioned at minor face one side of base material 51, and in fact rectangular, and depression joint portion 53 is positioned at another short brink.
When fastening sealing material 50 was coated on the periphery of honeycomb filter 30, protruding joint portion 52 and depression joint portion 53 can just cooperatively interact; Can prevent fastening sealing material 50 displacements like this.
Traditionally, this class fastening sealing material is prepared by following first to the 4th kind of method.
Promptly, in the first method of the described fastening sealing material of preparation, at first, the initial substance that will contain alumina source and silica source is heated to about 2000 ℃, and spinning under molten state, cooling fast then, thus alumina content and the practically identical ceramic fiber of dioxide-containing silica obtained.Then, described ceramic fiber is gathered into the material of felted.Use die-cut this material of metal die then, thereby make fastening sealing material.
In the second method of the described fastening sealing material of preparation, at first, preparation contains the spinning liquid of alumina source and silica source, discharges this feed liquid by nozzle then, thereby obtains the precursor fiber of positive rounded section continuously.Secondly, the parent macrofiber that sintering is obtained by described spinning step cuts into the alumina silica fibre of gained the staple fibre of predetermined length then.Once more, the staple fibre that so obtains is placed in the mould, so that form the fiber assembly of felted.With die-cut this fiber assembly of metal die, thereby make fastening sealing material.
In addition, in the third method of the described fastening sealing material of preparation, preparation in advance is used for the spinning liquid of inorganic salt method, and this feed liquid is supplied with swirl atomizer, so by the centrifugal force that is applied on the swirl atomizer this spinning liquid is blown out nozzle, thereby forms precursor fiber.Secondly, the precursor fiber of gained is gathered into felted, with the aggregate of die-cut this felted of metal die, so that the preparation fastening sealing material.
In the 4th kind of method of the described fastening sealing material of preparation, at first, sapphire whisker feed liquid (alumina silica fibre feed liquid) is carried out spinning, so that form successive parent macrofiber,, thereby make the aluminum oxide macrofiber with this successive parent macrofiber sintering.
Secondly, this aluminum oxide macrofiber is cut into alumina short fibre, this alumina short fibre is concentrated, loosened and compressing tablet, then it is suppressed into the alumina fiber complex of felted.
Then, this felted aggregate is die-cut into predetermined shape, thereby makes fastening sealing material.
The fastening sealing material that so makes is coated on the periphery of the catalytic convention design of the catalytic convention design of described honeycomb filter, purifying exhaust air or fuel cell, in the metal casing of then it being packed into; In this state, owing to this fastening sealing material is compressed along thickness direction, so, the repulsive force (surface pressure) of this compression that in fastening sealing material, just creates antagonism.This repulsive force can make the parts in the described metal casing fix, and the parts in the described metal casing are as the catalytic convention design of honeycomb filter, purifying exhaust air or the catalytic convention design of fuel cell.
In the time of when the catalytic convention design of honeycomb filter, purifying exhaust air or the catalytic convention design of fuel cell etc. are packed described metal casing into press insert type in, the cross section of metallic cylinder parts is an O shape, when using capsule formula (canning) to hold these objects, adopt one sympetalously, describedly sympetalously be separated into multi-disc by the metallic cylinder parts that will have the O tee section along axis direction and form.Except that this method, also use metal casing, it has the metallic cylinder parts in C shape or U-shaped cross section by use, makes metal casing fastening by methods such as welding, bonding and bolted.
Yet, with regard to the fastening sealing material that makes by first method, because these parts will stand to vibrate in use and the high temperature of for example waste gas, so As time goes on and gradually its surface pressure can reduce, this can damage the fastening and sealing condition to support of the catalyst relatively prematurely.
In addition, with regard to the fastening sealing material that makes by first method, require the long-term tightness that keeps honeycomb filter, the catalytic convention design of purifying exhaust air or the catalytic convention design of fuel cell etc.; Yet the conventional ceramic fiber that is made by described scorification is the content height of amorphous composition not only, and its degree of crystallinity (mullite content) is very low, promptly less than 1 weight %.Therefore, when the fiber of gained stands high temperature for a long time, along with crystallization proceed thermal contraction can take place, thereby cause the embrittlement of fiber.So, adopt the fastening sealing material of this fibrid preparation that sufficiently high initial surface pressure can not be provided, and in use can reduce surface pressure in time and significantly.
In order to solve this type of problem, the someone has proposed the degree of crystallinity of ceramic fiber is brought up to the method for about 10 weight %; Yet in this case, the sclerosis of fiber has reduced the elasticity and the toughness of fastening sealing material, and has therefore reduced its sealing property.
In addition, with regard to the fastening sealing material that makes by second method, require the long-term tightness that keeps honeycomb filter, the catalytic convention design of purifying exhaust air or the catalytic convention design of fuel cell etc.; Yet when standing high temperature for a long time, the alumina silica fibre of the rounded section that is made by second method loses easily that toughness becomes fragile and broken easily.Therefore, the surface pressure of the fastening sealing material that makes of fibrid reduces easily in time thus.
In addition, with regard to the fastening sealing material that is made by the third method, when adopting blow moulding to prepare ceramic fiber, the unit weight of felted aggregate (weight of unit surface) can differ greatly with the difference of position.
In other words, the result that the aggregation extent heterogeneity of fiber is caused is, when the position of punched felted aggregate not simultaneously, the surface pressure value of the fastening sealing material of gained will be different.Therefore, this just can not obtain the fastening sealing material of quality stability excellence.
Herein, in by described the 4th kind of alumina fiber complex that method forms, the alumina short fibre that is used for preparing alumina fiber complex does not have sufficiently high physical strength, and its deviation is relatively large, therefore, the initial surface pressure of alumina fiber complex is just not enough, and As time goes on, the amplitude that the surface pressure of described alumina fiber complex reduces is relatively large; So, need improve this.
Herein, " initial surface pressure " be meant, the surface pressure of alumina fiber complex under not only no-load but also unheated state.

To set forth with regard to first group of the present invention " enforcement " below.
The the 1st, 2 of first group the and the 3rd 's the invention according to the present invention, because the alumina silica fibre of black has excellent physical strength usually, so adopt this fiber just can obtain such fastening sealing material, described fastening sealing material has high initial surface pressure, and its surface pressure is difficult for reducing in time.
Herein, when tensile strength, flexural strength and the fracture toughness property of fiber is described value or when bigger, can obtains such alumina silica fibre, described alumina silica fibre has very high stretch-proof and bending resistance, and pliable and tough and easy fracture not.Therefore, can improve initial surface pressure like this, may guarantee that also surface pressure does not reduce in time.In addition, contain the carbon component in the alumina silica fibre of black, because in the whole alumina silica fibre all crystallization can take place, thus can obtain excellent physical strength, as tensile strength.
The 4th of first group the invention according to the present invention can the sintering precursor fiber and do not make carbon component oxidation in this precursor fiber.Therefore, a large amount of carbon components is retained in the fiber, and therefore guarantees easily to obtain the fiber of physical strength excellence.
Herein and since the carbon component in the precursor fiber generally before reaching calcining temperature just by burning out, so, in the alumina silica fibre that calcining step obtains, almost do not have remaining carbon.Yet, when heating precursor fiber under the environment that makes carbon component generation oxidizing reaction hardly, can imagine that carbon has been left in the fiber and has gathered to a certain extent becomes ceramic skeleton.
The 5th of first group the invention according to the present invention adopts cheap nitrogen atmosphere as inert atmosphere, carries out calcining step therein; Therefore, this can reduce manufacturing cost.In addition, since calcining temperature in described preferable range, so can stably obtain to have high-intensity alumina silica fibre.

In this case because this class organic polymer usually will be by burning out under about 500 ℃ to 600 ℃ temperature, so in the alumina silica fibre that obtains through calcining step without any residual organic polymer.Yet, can imagine, when precursor fiber heats under the environment that almost can not make carbon component generation oxidizing reaction, the carbon of forming organic polymer is retained in the fiber, and set become ceramic skeleton to a certain extent.

When adopting for example press insert type assembling, metal casing 3 adopts the metallic cylinder of O tee section.Form the metal (for example, steel work etc. are as stainless steel) of the preferred thermotolerance of metallic substance and the shock resistance excellence of this cylinder herein.When adopting so-called capsule formula but not during press insert type, the parts that adopted are, the metallic cylinder of the described O of having tee section are divided into polylith vertically and the parts (promptly sympetalous) that form.
Except that this structure, when employing packs tightly (wrap-tightening) formula when assembling, metal casing for example adopts that the cross section is the metal cylinder parts of C shape or U-shaped, promptly along the so-called metal cylinder parts that a kerf (opening) is axially arranged.In this case, when support of the catalyst 2 has been installed, with the structure that is fixed with the support of the catalyst 2 of fastening sealing material 4 metal casing 3 of packing into, at this moment, metal casing 3 coats also and tightens up, the opening end on it join (adopting modes such as welding, bonding, bolted).When adopting clad type, also in kind carry out as welding, bonding and bolted etc. in conjunction with work.
As shown in Figure 1, fastening sealing material 4 is rectangular felted, has protruding joint portion 11 at the one end, has depression joint portion 12 at the other end.As shown in Figure 2, in the time of on being installed to support of the catalyst 2, protruding joint portion 11 just with the depression joint portion 12 interlocks.
In addition, can change the shape of fastening sealing material 4 as required.For example, can adopt the comparatively simple shape of saving protruding joint portion 11 and depression joint portion 12.
First group the embodiment according to the present invention, fastening sealing material 4 by the ceramic fiber that is gathered into felted (being fiber aggregate) as main composition material.In first group according to the present invention embodiment, described ceramic fiber has adopted alumina silica fibre 6.At this moment, the mullite crystalline content in the alumina silica fibre 6 is preferably at 0 weight % or above in 10 weight % or following scope.Amorphous composition is less in this chemical constitution, thereby has excellent thermotolerance; So, when being compressed load, can produce high repulsive force.Therefore, even this fiber stands high temperature in the space, its surface pressure also is difficult for reducing.
In the alumina silica fibre 6 content of aluminum oxide preferably at 40 weight % in the scope of 60 weight %, the content of silicon oxide is preferably 0 weight % to 60 weight %.
In addition, the lower limit of the mean diameter of alumina silica fibre 6 is about 3 μ m, and its upper limit is about 25 μ m, and more preferably the lower limit of its mean diameter is about 5 μ m, and its upper limit is about 15 μ m.This is because when the mean diameter of fiber is too small, can produce the problem that fiber is sucked by respiratory organs.The lower limit of the mean length of alumina silica fibre 6 is about 0.1mm, and its upper limit is about 100mm, and more preferably the lower limit of the mean length of fiber is about 2mm, and its upper limit is about 50mm.
Different with common white transparent alumina silica fibre, the characteristics of the alumina silica fibre of first group embodiment are black according to the present invention.
" black " alumina silica fibre not only comprises and only is the fiber of black (pitch-dark), also comprises black gray fiber.
Herein, the N8 of defined or lower among the preferred JIS Z 8721 of the brightness of alumina silica fibre 6.
At this moment, the N of brightness refers to definite as follows mark.The optimum brightness of setting black is 0, the optimum brightness of setting white is 10, to be divided into 10 grades between the versicolor brightness between this black brightness and the white brightness, N0 represents to N10 with mark, thereby the brightness of the color of isolabeling represents to be in identical grade.
In actual measurement, come and compare to the color mark of N10 corresponding to N0 with each color.At this moment, first bit digital is 0 or 5 behind the radix point.
The black of alumina silica fibre 6 is from carbon component contained in the spinning liquid.
The following 1 weight % or higher that is limited to of remaining carbon components contents preferably, is limited to 1 weight % in the alumina silica fibre 6 under it, is limited to 20 weight % on it, more preferably is limited to 5 weight % under it, is limited to 10 weight % on it.Remaining carbon components contents is lower than 1 weight % and then can not fully improves physical strength.By contrast, the too high basic physical property (for example, thermotolerance etc.) that can infringement alumina silica fibre 6 of residual carbon components contents.
Can calculate the carbon components contents according to the reference sample in the preparation process, perhaps adopt laser Raman spectrometer, perhaps can calculate the carbon components contents according to strength ratio of X-ray etc.
The tensile strength of alumina silica fibre 6 is preferably 1.2GPa or bigger, more preferably 1.5GPa or bigger.The flexural strength of this fiber is preferably 1.3GPa or bigger, more preferably 1.5GPa or bigger.Breaking tenacity is 0.8MN/m 3/2Or bigger, more preferably 1.0MN/m 3/2Or it is bigger.This is can make alumina silica fibre 6 not only have enough stretch-prooves and bending resistance owing to increase the value of tensile strength, flexural strength and the breaking tenacity of fiber, and has snappiness and easy fracture not.
In addition, first group the embodiment according to the present invention contains the carbon component in the fiber of alumina silica fibre 6, so, can imagine in whole alumina silica fibre 6 crystallization has taken place, thereby improve tensile strength.
Except positive circle, the cross-sectional shape of alumina silica fibre 6 can be other variation shapes (for example oval, Long Circles and the shape that becomes triangle substantially).
Before installing, the lower limit of the thickness of fastening sealing material 4 is preferably about 1.1 times of space between support of the catalyst 2 and the metal casing 3, is more preferably about 1.5 times of this space.In addition, the upper limit of the thickness of fastening sealing material 4 is preferably about 4.0 times of space between support of the catalyst 2 and the metal casing 3, is more preferably about 3.0 times of this space.If described thickness less than 1.1 times, then can not provide good fastening performance, thereby make catalyzer 2 and metal casing 3 that skew or loosening take place.Owing to do not have excellent sealing performance certainly in this case, waste gas can leak from the position, space, thereby can not prevent from effectively to pollute.In addition, thickness just is difficult to support of the catalyst 2 is installed in the metal casing 3 greater than 4.0 times, especially when adopting embedded installation method.Therefore, can not improve installation capability in this case.
After the installation, the lower limit of the loose density of fastening sealing material 4 (GBD) is preferably 0.10g/cm 3, its upper limit is preferably 0.30g/cm 3In addition, the lower limit of described loose density 0.10g/cm more preferably 3, its upper limit is 0.25g/cm more preferably 3When the value of loose density is very little, be difficult to obtain sufficiently high initial surface pressure sometimes.On the contrary, when the value of loose density was very big, the amount of needed starting material alumina silica fibre 6 will increase, and this can increase cost.
Under installment state, the initial surface pressure of fastening sealing material 4 is 50kPa or bigger, more preferably 70kPa or bigger.This be because, when the value of initial surface pressure is big,, also can keep good fastening performance to support of the catalyst 2 even surface pressure has reduced in time.
If desired, can adopt acupuncture processing, resin impregnation processing etc. herein, to fastening sealing material 4.The employing of these methods can be compressed fastening sealing material 4 along thickness direction, thereby makes its attenuation.
To set forth according to the present invention the preparation method of first group support of the catalyst 1 below in order.
At first, aluminum mixture salts solution, silicon dioxide gel and organic polymer are so that form spinning liquid.In other words, made spinning liquid by the inorganic salt method.Aluminum salt solution is both as alumina source, again as the component that can make the spinning liquid tackify.
Herein, the aqueous solution of the preferred alkaline aluminium salt of this water-soluble solution.Silicon dioxide gel is both as silica source, again as making fiber have high-intensity composition.Organic polymer can be given the spinning liquid wire-drawing performance, also can be used as carbon source, thereby makes according to the present invention the alumina silica fibre 6 of first group embodiment have the favorable mechanical performance.Organic polymer can adopt carbonaceous straight-chain polymer, for example PVA (polyvinyl alcohol).Herein, the composition that can be used as carbon source is not limited to straight-chain polymer, can adopt molecular weight any composition relatively low, non-chain structure (being non-polymer), as long as its carbon containing.
Secondly, the spinning liquid of vacuum concentration gained makes the spinning liquid with concentration, temperature and viscosity of being suitable for spinning processing.In this case, preferably be that the spinning liquid of about 20 weight % is concentrated to about 30 weight % to 40 weight % with concentration.In addition, its viscosity is preferably 10 and moors 2000 pools.
And then the spinning liquid that is made by last method is discharged in the air by the nozzle of spinning equipment, thereby obtains the cross-sectional shape precursor fiber similar to the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks of nozzle continuously.Precursor fiber through spinning processing is stretched when batching continuously.In this case, preferably adopt for example drying pressure spin processes.
In addition, contained carbon component need not obtain from add organic polymer wherein as the wire-drawing performance imparting agent in the precursor fiber that is obtained by last method, but can obtain from independent adding carbon source wherein.In this case, be not limited to for example organism such as organic polymer, also can adopt for example inorganics, described inorganics such as carbon.
Secondly,, make it form pottery (crystallization), so precursor fiber hardens and obtains alumina silica fibre 6 by calcining step sintering precursor fiber.
In calcining step, be necessary precursor fiber is heated in wherein carbon component (being described organic polymer) being difficult to carry out the environment of oxidizing reaction.More particularly, in first group according to the present invention embodiment, heating is to carry out in the nitrogen at typical inert atmosphere.
Herein, the environment that makes the carbon component be difficult to carry out oxidizing reaction is not limited to inert atmosphere, but comprises for example reduced atmosphere.Compare with in normal pressure atmosphere, carrying out heating steps, in reduced atmosphere, carry out heating steps can inhibited oxidation the carrying out of reaction.
In addition, calcining step also can for example carry out in argon gas at the inert atmosphere except that nitrogen, perhaps carries out in the decompression inert atmosphere.
When carrying out heating steps in nitrogen atmosphere, the following of temperature is limited to 1000 ℃, more preferably 1050 ℃, is limited to 1300 ℃ on the temperature, more preferably 1250 ℃.
Heating temperature is lower than 1000 ℃ and can causes the sintering of precursor fiber insufficient, thereby causes being difficult to stably providing high-intensity alumina silica fibre 6.By contrast, when Heating temperature surpassed 1300 ℃, alumina silica fibre 6 did not have higher intensity, can reduce economic benefit like this.
In other words, in the preparation method of first group according to the present invention alumina silica fibre, carry out in inert atmosphere that the heating steps of precursor fiber can be in calcining step and/or the reduced atmosphere.The preparation method of first group alumina silica fibre can stably obtain having the alumina silica fibre of excellent physical strength according to the present invention.
Subsequently, the alumina silica fibre 6 of the length that will be obtained by described each step cuts into predetermined length, so that form staple fibre to a certain degree.Then, this staple fibre is concentrated, loosened and compressing tablet, perhaps will be scattered in the water and the fiber dispersion that forms injects mould by staple fibre, compression and drying, thus obtain the fiber aggregate of felted.And then, this fiber aggregate punching press is become predetermined shape, thereby form the fastening sealing material 4 of black.
Then, if necessary, with organic binder bond dipping fastening sealing material 4, then along fastening sealing material 4 compression and the casting molds of thickness direction with gained.The organic binder bond of this moment is except that adopting latex and as acrylic rubber and the paracril etc., also can adopting polyvinyl alcohol and acrylic resin etc.
In addition, fastening sealing material 4 is coated on the periphery of support of the catalyst 2, and fixing with organic adhesive tape 13.Then, it is pressed embedding, capsule or packs tightly step, thereby finish required catalytic convention design 1.
So first group the embodiment according to the present invention can obtain following effect.
Alumina silica fibre 6 used in the fastening sealing material 4 is that black has excellent physical strength owing to containing the carbon component, as tensile strength of fiber, fiber bending intensity and fracture toughness property.Therefore, adopt the resulting fastening sealing material 4 of this fiber to have high initial surface pressure, and this surface pressure is difficult for reducing in time.Therefore, can obtain a kind of like this catalytic convention design 1, the support of the catalyst 2 of described catalytic convention design 1 is fixed well, and has excellent sealing property.
When having adopted black alumina silica fibre 6 in the catalytic convention design 1, even fastening sealing material 4 has adsorbed atrament such as coal smoke, the variation of its appearance also almost can not be perceiveed.In other words, because originally fastening sealing material 4 is black, its color there is no considerable change before and after using.The benefit of this point is that it can not make the user produce " degenerating " or impression such as " pollutions ".
The preparation method of first group embodiment according to the present invention heats precursor fiber, thereby carries out the calcining step of sintering precursor fiber in the environment that is difficult to make carbon component generation oxidizing reaction contained in the precursor fiber.Therefore, this can make a large amount of carbon components be retained in the alumina silica fibre 6, so guarantee easily to obtain the alumina silica fibre 6 of physical strength excellence.
The preparation method of first group embodiment according to the present invention, the environment that calcining step carries out has adopted cheap nitrogen atmosphere.Therefore, this can reduce the preparation cost of fastening sealing material 4.In addition, owing to heating steps carries out in described preferred calcination temperature range, so this can stably obtain high-intensity alumina silica fibre 6.
The preparation method of first group embodiment according to the present invention, carbon component contained in the precursor fiber are from organic polymer, and described organic polymer adds in the spinning liquid as the wire-drawing performance imparting agent.Therefore, therefore the special carbon source that adds in spinning liquid, so just need not carry out significantly modification to the composition of spinning liquid separately.Therefore so this can be avoided the unbalanced of spinning liquid in advance, and avoided infringement to the basic physicals of alumina silica fibre 6.In addition, owing to need not add carbon source, so this can reduce manufacturing cost.In addition, owing to described organic polymer is easy to be scattered in the spinning liquid equably, so carbon source just is scattered in the precursor fiber equably.Therefore, the content of residual carbon is uniformly in the alumina silica fibre 6 of gained, and is difficult for causing the heterogeneity of physical strength.
In addition, in first group according to the present invention embodiment, for example understand the situation that first group according to the present invention fastening sealing material 4 is applied to catalytic convention design 1, described catalytic convention design 1 is a used catalytic convention design in the automobile purification device; Yet, first group fastening sealing material 4 also can be applicable to other devices except that the used catalytic convention design 1 of automobile refining plant certainly according to the present invention, for example diesel engine fine particle strainer (DPF), be used as the catalytic convention design of fuel cell modification device etc.
Putting up with according to the present invention second group embodiment below sets forth.
Referring to Fig. 1 to 6, will elaborate according to the present invention the catalytic convention design of second group embodiment below, described catalytic convention design is used for purification device for automobile exhaust gas.
As shown in Figure 3, the catalytic convention design with first group according to the present invention is identical basically for the catalytic convention design 1 of second group embodiment according to the present invention, described catalytic convention design 1 by support of the catalyst 2, be coated on the metal casing 3 of these support of the catalyst 2 peripheries and place the fastening sealing material 4 between the space of described parts 2 and 3 to form.
In addition, another catalytic convention design 1 as shown in Figure 7, this conversion system has following structure equally: fastening sealing material 4 is made up of the sheet material of a plurality of (in this example being two) fiber aggregate M1, each fiber aggregate M1 has different degree of crystallinity mutually, and these fiber aggregates M1 can be overlapping and bonding mutually up and down.At this moment, the less fiber aggregate M1 of degree of crystallinity needs to contact with metal casing 3, and the fiber aggregate M1 that degree of crystallinity is bigger needs to contact with support of the catalyst 2.
Herein, about support of the catalyst 2 and metal casing 3, can adopt with first group of described catalyzer conversion system according to the present invention in 2 and 3 identical parts; Therefore, omit its description at this.
In addition, the shape of support of the catalyst 2 is not limited to positive circle, and can be for example ellipse or Long Circle.In this case, the cross-sectional shape of metal casing 3 can correspondingly change ellipse or Long Circle into.
In addition, about support of the catalyst 2, except that die casting becomes the honeycomb fashion cordierite carrier shown in this embodiment, also can adopt for example honeycomb fashion porous sintered body, described porous sintered body is the porous sintered body of silicon carbide or silicon nitride etc. for example.
In addition, shown in the support of the catalyst 20 as shown in Figure 4, can adopt the support of the catalyst of no sealing member.
As shown in Figure 1, fastening sealing material 4 has protruding joint portion 11 for long felted parts at the one end, has depression joint portion 12 at its other end.As shown in Figure 2, when being coated on the support of the catalyst 2, protruding joint portion 11 just with the depression joint portion 12 interlocks.
In addition, can change the shape of fastening sealing material 4 as required.For example, can adopt the comparatively simple shape of saving protruding joint portion 11 and depression joint portion 12.
Second group the embodiment according to the present invention, fastening sealing material 4 is made up of the ceramic fiber that is gathered into felted (being fiber aggregate M1), and described ceramic fiber is the main component of described fastening sealing material 4.In second group according to the present invention embodiment, described ceramic fiber can adopt alumina silica fibre 6.
In second group according to the present invention embodiment, the degree of crystallinity imbalance of mullite in the fastening sealing material 4, but different with the difference at its position.In other words, in the sheet material of fiber aggregate M1, the degree of crystallinity at the degree of crystallinity at the first side surface S1 position and the second side surface S2 position differs from one another, and more specifically, should make from the degree of crystallinity of the first side surface S1 and the second side surface S2 increases gradually.
Herein, the first side surface S1 in the fastening sealing material 4 has stood lower temperature in calcining step, and this side surface contacts with metal casing 3, and the thermotolerance of metal casing 3 requires lower.Therefore, the first side surface S1 face that can be considered to the low temperature calcination face or contact with metal casing.Second side surface has stood higher relatively temperature in calcining step, this face contacts with support of the catalyst 2, and the thermotolerance of support of the catalyst 2 one sides is had relatively high expectations.Therefore, the second side surface S2 face that can be considered to high-temperature calcination face or contact with high-temperature component.
In this case, the degree of crystallinity at the degree of crystallinity at the first side surface S1 position and the second side surface S2 position differs preferred 3 weight % or bigger.More specifically, the degree of crystallinity at the first side surface S1 position is preferably 0 weight % to 1 weight %, and the degree of crystallinity at the second side surface S2 position is preferably 1 weight % to 10 weight %.
When the degree of crystallinity at the first side surface S1 position greater than the degree of crystallinity at the 1 weight % and the second side surface S2 position during less than 1 weight %, the difference of the degree of crystallinity of these both sides is too little, thereby can not obtain target property.When the degree of crystallinity at the second side surface S2 position during greater than 10 weight %, the thermotolerance of corresponding site just may descend.In addition, the degree of crystallinity at the first side surface S1 position is preferably 0 weight %, also, preferably adopts amorphous material at this corresponding site.
Adopting the peak of the resulting mullite of X-ray diffraction herein, is that described degree of crystallinity is measured on the basis; Suppose that it is that degree of crystallinity is 100 weight % that this material does not have peak, the peak that the mullite with 100% records when degree of crystallinity is 0 weight %, can determines corresponding degree of crystallinity according to the ratio of the value of 100 weight % and sample value.
In addition, draw its weight ratio, can calculate described degree of crystallinity according to this weight ratio according to the difference of the dissolution rate of mullite in hydrofluoric acid and silicon-dioxide.
About the mean diameter and the mean length of the alumina content of alumina silica fibre 6, dioxide-containing silica, alumina silica fibre 6, these parametric optimizations identical with described in first group according to the present invention the catalytic convention design; Therefore, the descriptions thereof are omitted at this.
About the alumina silica fibre 6 that is positioned at the second side surface S2, the tensile strength of preferred this fiber is 1.0GPa or bigger respectively, and the flexural strength of fiber is 0.8GPa or bigger, and Young's modulus is 9.5 * 10 10N/m 2Or it is bigger.About being positioned at the alumina silica fibre of the first side surface S1, the tensile strength of preferred this fiber is 2.0GPa or bigger respectively, and the flexural strength of fiber is 1.5GPa or bigger, and Young's modulus is 11.0 * 10 10N/m 2Or it is bigger.Its reason is that along with the increase of the tensile strength of fiber, the flexural strength of fiber etc., alumina silica fibre 6 can have very strong stretch-proof and resistance to bending.
In second group according to the present invention embodiment, at loose density after the installation (GBD) and the initial surface pressure under the installment state of fastening sealing material 4, they are described identical with first group of the present invention's catalytic convention design about thickness before installation of the cross-sectional shape of alumina silica fibre 6, fastening sealing material 4, fastening sealing material 4; Therefore, omit its description at this.
If desired, can carry out acupuncture processing and resin impregnation processing etc. herein, to this fastening sealing material 4.By adopting these processing, can on thickness direction, compress fastening sealing material 4, thereby make it along the thickness direction attenuation.
The preparation method of second group catalytic convention design 1 will be described below in order according to the present invention.
At first, according to preparing spinning liquid, thereby make the macrofiber of precursor fiber with method described in the preparation method of first group according to the present invention catalytic convention design.
Secondly, the macrofiber of this precursor fiber is cut into predetermined length, thereby form staple fibre to a certain extent.Subsequently, collect, loosen and this staple fibre of compressing tablet, or will be scattered in the water and the fiber dispersion that forms injects mould by staple fibre, compression and drying, thus obtain the fiber aggregate M1 of felted.
After described compressing tablet is handled, fiber aggregate M1 is carried out calcining step, so that the sintering precursor fiber, thereby form pottery (crystallization).So precursor fiber hardens and forms alumina silica fibre 6.Fig. 5 has shown electric furnace 21, and this is the calciner in second group the embodiment according to the present invention.
Can adopt the calciner outside the electric furnace 21 that is exemplified to carry out calcining step herein.
The purposes of described electric furnace 21 this equipment is, when need be sent into described electric furnace 21 by incinerating object along continuous straight runs the time, described object can be heated and sintering continuously.Netted conveying belt 23 as means of delivery is closed in the main body 22 that constitutes electric furnace 21.The fiber aggregate M1 of felted is placed on the netted conveying belt 23 as object to be calcined.As the upside electricradiator 24 of first heating unit place netted conveying belt 23 on, and a space is arranged apart from netted conveying belt 23, place under the netted conveying belt 23 as the downside electricradiator 25 of second heating unit, and a space arranged apart from netted conveying belt 23.This electricradiator 24 and 25 joins by temperature controller and power supply, and described temperature controller does not show.In this equipment, control the temperature of these two electricradiators 24 and 25 respectively.
In calcining step, at first under normal pressure, carry out pre-heating step (pre-treatment) with 21 couples of described fiber aggregate M1 of electric furnace, then, still under normal pressure, carry out formal heating steps (calcining step) with described electric furnace 21.
In this case, the temperature that changes these two kinds of electricradiators 24 and 25 is set, so that the temperature difference to a certain degree is provided.In other words, fiber aggregate M1 is sintered under certain temperature difference, and the described temperature difference is by the calcining temperature of the calcining temperature of the first side surface S1 and the second side surface S2 and produce.Herein, in second group according to the present invention embodiment, the temperature of the electricradiator 24 of upside is higher than the temperature of underside electrical well heater 25.
In this case, the temperature difference of carrying out calcining step is preferably 100 ℃ or higher, particularly 200 ℃ or higher.The described temperature difference is during less than 100 ℃, the difference deficiency of sintering complexity between the first side surface S1 and the second side surface S2, thus be difficult to produce the difference of degree of crystallinity.
In addition, the calcining temperature of the first side surface S1 is preferably 800 ℃ to 1100 ℃, and the calcining temperature of the second side surface S2 is preferably 1100 ℃ to 1400 ℃,
When the calcining temperature of the first side surface S1 was lower than 800 ℃, sintering reaction carried out insufficiently, thereby can not obtain required physical strength.When the calcining temperature of the first side surface S1 was higher than 1100 ℃, when perhaps the calcining temperature of the second side surface S2 was lower than 1100 ℃, the difference of the degree of crystallinity of these both sides was too little, thereby can not obtain target property.
When the calcining temperature of the second side surface S2 was higher than 1400 ℃, crystallization was carried out too soon, thereby caused physical strength and thermotolerance to descend.
In addition, calcination time (time that more particularly, promptly keeps maximum heating temperature) is preferably 10 minutes to 60 minutes.If calcination time is too short, even temperature is set enough highly, sintering reaction can not fully carry out.Therefore, this just can not obtain required physical strength.If calcination time is long, will reduce production efficiency, and the crystallization meeting carries out too fastly, thereby cause physical strength and thermotolerance to descend.
In die-cut processing subsequently, the felted fiber aggregate M1 that has passed through calcining step is die-cut into predetermined shape, thereby forms fastening sealing material 4.
Then, if necessary, after organic binder bond dipping fastening sealing material 4, can further compress fastening sealing material 4, and along the thickness direction mold pressing.About organic binder bond used herein,, can adopt polyvinyl alcohol and acrylic resin etc. except that latex and as acrylic rubber and the paracril etc.
And then, fastening sealing material 4 is coated on the periphery of support of the catalyst 2, and fixing with organic adhesive tape 13.Then, it is pressed embedding, capsule or packs tightly step, thereby finish required catalytic convention design 1.
Herein, the fastening sealing material 4 that is exemplified has a kind of like this structure, that is, its degree of crystallinity is along thickness direction difference to some extent.By contrast, the fastening sealing material that can provide degree of crystallinity to change along its length, or the fastening sealing material of degree of crystallinity broad ways variation.For example, when back one fastening sealing material be covered by support of the catalyst 2 around the time, can make between the two ends of support of the catalyst 2 to have different degree of crystallinity.In other words, the one end has excellent thermotolerance, and the other end has excellent elasticity and snappiness.Therefore, when big degree of crystallinity and when having an excellent stable on heating end, can obtain having the excellent thermotolerance and the catalytic convention design 1 of weather-proof property towards a side that waste gas flows into.
Therefore, second group embodiment can reach following effect according to the present invention.
Usually, when adopting catalytic convention design 1, the support of the catalyst 2 that is directly exposed in the high-temp waste gas just has high temperature, and the temperature of metal casing 3 does not then resemble the so high of support of the catalyst 2.Therefore, the side surface that contacts with support of the catalyst 2 especially needs to have high thermotolerance.Consider these factors, the structure of second group embodiment is according to the present invention, and the second side surface S2 is contacted with support of the catalyst 2, and the described second side surface S2 has higher relatively degree of crystallinity, and promptly this side surface has excellent thermotolerance.On the contrary, the first side surface S1 is contacted with metal casing 3, the described first side surface S1 has relatively low degree of crystallinity, and promptly this side surface has excellent elasticity and snappiness, though thermotolerance is insuperior.Therefore, the fiber at the position that contacts with support of the catalyst 2 is difficult for embrittlement, thereby a kind of like this fastening sealing material 4 is provided, and described fastening sealing material 4 has high initial surface pressure, and this surface pressure is difficult for reducing in time.In addition, because the position that contacts with metal casing 3 has produced elastic force, this can reduce between this position and the metal casing and produces the space, thereby the fastening sealing material 4 of sealing property excellence is provided.
As mentioned above, can obtain a kind of like this catalytic convention design 1,1 pair of support of the catalyst 2 of described catalytic convention design has excellent fastening performance, is difficult for revealing waste gas, and has good processing efficiency.
Second group fastening sealing material 4 comprises fiber aggregate M1 sheet material according to the present invention, and the degree of crystallinity of this fiber aggregate M1 progressively increases from the first side surface S, 1 to second side surface S2.Therefore, this structure is different from the structure of being made up of the different fiber aggregate M1 of a plurality of degree of crystallinity, and it is overlapped up and down and make its mutual adherent work that aforementioned structure can be saved each fiber aggregate M1, thereby reduced preparation section.So this can provide the fastening sealing material 4 that is easy to prepare.
In addition, owing to compare with the folded mutually structure that forms of a plurality of sheet materials, aforementioned structure can be thinner, so this can relatively easily place aforementioned structure among the narrow space.So this not only can easily pack tightly operation, and when operating, capsule is easy to assemble.
In addition, in the structure that a plurality of sheet materials are superimposed with each other, waste gas can pass the interface between the fiber aggregate M1.By contrast,, wherein do not have the interface, therefore needn't consider the problem from passing between the interface of waste gas because fastening sealing material 4 is single chip architectures.So this can provide the equipment of sealing property excellence.
In this fastening sealing material 4, the degree of crystallinity at the degree of crystallinity at the first side surface S1 position and the second side surface S2 position is in described desired scope.Therefore, this can guarantee to improve surface pressure characteristic and sealing characteristics, thereby obtains high performance catalytic convention design 1.
The preparation method of second group embodiment according to the present invention, calcining is carried out under certain temperature difference, and the described temperature difference is formed by the calcining temperature of the first side surface S1 of the fiber aggregate M1 of felted and the calcining temperature of the second side surface S2.Therefore, this can guarantee relatively easily to prepare the different fastening sealing material 4 of degree of crystallinity on two surfaces.In addition, this preparation method is particularly suitable for having the fastening sealing material 4 of following structure, and described structure is that in the fiber aggregate M1 of monolithic, to the second side surface S2, degree of crystallinity progressively increases from the first side surface S1.In addition, in this preparation method, adopt conventional calciner usually, need not adopt special calciner.Therefore, this can be avoided the increase of cost of equipment.
In second group according to the present invention embodiment, the temperature condition that calcining step carries out is that the calcining temperature of the first side surface S1 and the second side surface S2 is within described preferred range.Therefore, this can guarantee to make according to the present invention the fastening sealing material 4 in second group the embodiment, and in described fastening sealing material 4, the degree of crystallinity from the first side surface S1 to the second side surface S2 progressively increases.
In addition, second group fastening sealing material comprises the alumina silica fibre that is gathered into felted according to the present invention, described alumina silica fibre is the composition material of this fastening sealing material, described fastening sealing material is placed in support of the catalyst and is coated in the space between the metal casing of described support of the catalyst periphery, described fastening sealing material can be made into to be used for the fastening sealing material of catalytic convention design, the characteristics of described fastening sealing material are, its first side surface is made by amorphous material, and its second side surface is made by crystalline material.
Utilize this structure can obtain to be used for the fastening sealing material of catalytic convention design, the advantage of described fastening sealing material is, it has high initial surface pressure, and this surface pressure do not reduce in time, and in addition, it also has excellent sealing property.
In addition, in second group according to the present invention embodiment, for example understand the situation that fastening sealing material 4 is applied to catalytic convention design 1, described catalytic convention design 1 is a used catalytic convention design in the automobile purification device; Yet, second group fastening sealing material 4 also can be applicable to other devices except that the used catalytic convention design 1 of automobile refining plant certainly according to the present invention, for example diesel engine fine particle strainer (DPF), be used as the catalytic convention design of fuel cell modification device etc.
To set forth the 3rd group of the present invention's embodiment below.
Referring to Fig. 1 to 3, and Fig. 8 and 9, will elaborate according to the present invention the catalytic convention design of the 3rd group embodiment below, described catalytic convention design is used for purification device for automobile exhaust gas.
As shown in Figure 3, the catalytic convention design with first group according to the present invention is identical basically for the catalytic convention design 1 of the 3rd group embodiment according to the present invention, described catalytic convention design 1 by support of the catalyst 2, be coated on the metal casing 3 of these support of the catalyst 2 peripheries and place the fastening sealing material 4 between the space of described parts 2 and 3 to form.

The chemical constitution of alumina silica fibre 6 is preferably: aluminum oxide at 68 weight % in the scope of 83 weight %, silicon-dioxide at 32 weight % in the scope of 17 weight %, particularly, more preferably A1 2O 3: SiO 2=72: 28.
If aluminum oxide is lower than 68 weight %, or silicon-dioxide is higher than 32 weight %, and it may be difficult to improve thermotolerance fully, and is difficult to produce when being compressed load enough repulsive forces.If aluminum oxide is higher than 83 weight %, or silicon-dioxide is lower than 17 weight %, also is difficult to improve thermotolerance fully, and is difficult to produce enough repulsive forces when being compressed load.
About the mean diameter and the mean length of alumina silica fibre 6, these parametric optimizations identical with described in first group according to the present invention the catalytic convention design; Therefore, the descriptions thereof are omitted at this.
In addition, the tensile strength of each alumina silica fibre 6 is preferably 0.1GPa or bigger, more preferably 0.5GPa or bigger.
Herein, the cross-sectional shape needs of the 3rd group alumina silica fibre 6 are non-circular according to the present invention, and promptly its cross-sectional shape is other variation shapes.The right side row of Fig. 9 have shown the example of the various cross-sectional shapes of fiber.The fiber (fiber of elliptic cross-section) that is actually elliptic cross-section is shown in right row first row, and this fiber is an example of the fiber of flattened.The fiber (fiber in cocoon shape cross section) that is actually the cocoon shape cross section is shown in right row second row, and this fiber is an example of the fiber of flattened.In addition, the tubular fibre that has living space of inside is shown in right row the third line.
In addition, the cross-sectional shape of alumina silica fibre 6 is not limited to the ellipse and the cocoon shape that are exemplified, and its cross-sectional shape can also be, for example Long Circle, trilateral or rectangle.
In addition, the cross-sectional shape of alumina silica fibre 6 is not limited to the hollow shape that exemplified, and its cross-sectional shape can also be that for example inside has two or more spatial shapes etc.
In the 3rd group according to the present invention embodiment, about the thickness of fastening sealing material 4 before installation, fastening sealing material 4 the loose density after the installation (GBD) and under the installment state of fastening sealing material 4 the initial surface pressure of fastening sealing material 4, preferably the catalytic convention design with first group of the present invention is described identical for they; Therefore, omit its description at this.
If desired, can carry out acupuncture processing and resin impregnation processing etc. herein, to this fastening sealing material 4.By adopting these processing, can on thickness direction, compress fastening sealing material 4, thereby make it along the thickness direction attenuation.
The preparation method of the 3rd group catalytic convention design 1 will be described below in order according to the present invention.
At first, aluminum mixture salt brine solution, silicon dioxide gel and organic polymer are so that make spinning liquid 18.In other words, adopt the inorganic salt legal system to get spinning liquid 18.Aluminum saline solution is both as alumina source, again as making spinning liquid 18 increase the component of viscosity.The aqueous solution of the preferred alkaline aluminium salt of this water-soluble solution.Silicon dioxide gel is both as silica source, again as making fiber have high-intensity composition.Organic polymer can give spinning liquid 18 wire-drawing performances.
In the 3rd group according to the present invention embodiment, preferably further in spinning liquid 18, add water-soluble plasticizer, the effect of described water-soluble plasticizer is, it can reduce the solution rate of expansion of fiber when nozzle is discharged.The preferred 0.1 weight % of the lower limit of the add-on of described softening agent, the preferred 10 weight % of its upper limit, particularly, its lower limit is 0.1 weight % more preferably, and its upper limit is 3 weight % more preferably.
When described add-on is lower than 0.1 weight %, can not fully reduces Young's modulus, thereby can not obtain to reduce the effect of solution rate of expansion by the adding softening agent.By contrast, when add-on is higher than 10 weight %, can the physicals of alumina silica fibre 6 be had a negative impact, because the non-ceramics component at this moment in the spinning liquid 18 has increased.
In addition, except in spinning liquid 18, adding the water-soluble substances, also can adopt additive method to reduce the solution rate of expansion.
About described softening agent, the preferably water soluble organism, more specifically, preferred full-bodied glycol ether.Also can guarantee to reduce spinning liquid 18 Young's modulus even add a spot of this type organic.In addition, when the sintering step after spinning process finished, glycol ether was intact burning out by the heat in this step.
Herein, the example that can be used as the glycol ether of softening agent comprises: Tetraglycol 99 monobutyl ether (3,6,9,12-four oxa-hexadecanols), triglycol monobutyl ether (3,6,9-trioxa tridecanol), mixture of butylcarbitol (2-(2-butoxy oxyethyl group) ethanol), propylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether (1-methoxyl group-2-propyl alcohol), propylene glycol methyl ether acetate and acetate etc.Except that described glycol ether, for example also can adopt the viscosity organism as softening agent, described viscosity organism such as polyoxyethylene glycol and glycerol etc.In addition, add a kind of in the above-listed organism to spinning liquid 18 only; Yet, also above-listed two or more mixture can be added spinning liquid 18.
Secondly, vacuum concentration is by the spinning liquid 18 of last method gained, thereby makes the spinning liquid 18 with density, temperature and viscosity of being suitable for spinning processing.In this case, preferably be that the spinning liquid of about 20 weight % is concentrated to about 30 weight % to 40 weight % with concentration.In addition, its viscosity is preferably 10 and moors 1500 pools.
And then the nozzle 19 of the spinning equipment 20 of the spinning liquid 18 that is made by last method by as shown in Figure 8 is discharged in the air, thereby has obtained the cross-sectional shape precursor fiber 6A similar to the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a of nozzle continuously.More specifically, having the precursor fiber 6A of the oval cross-section shown in right row first row, is to adopt the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a with the square-section shown in left column first row to make.Precursor fiber 6A with the cocoon shape cross section shown in right row second row of Fig. 9 is that to adopt the reality that has shown in left column second row be that the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a of dumbbell-shaped section makes.Precursor fiber 6A with the hollow sectional shape shown in the right row the third line of Fig. 9 is that to adopt the reality that has shown in left column the third line be that the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a of C shape makes.
Herein, under the situation of the elliptic cross-section shown in the right row shown in Fig. 9 first row, its ellipticity ratio of major axis (minor axis with) is preferably 1: 1.1 to 1: 1.3.The fiber of ellipticity above 1: 3 can reduce the thickness of initial end face.
Then, will batch continuously and stretch from the spun precursor fiber 6A of metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a.In this case, preferably adopt for example exsiccant pressure spin processes.
Preferably, when precursor fiber 6A when metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a discharges, purge with the discharge direction of exsiccant warm air immediately along precursor fiber 6A.In this case, preferably use the exsiccant warm air blowoff, more preferably with normal temperature or be higher than the warm air blowoff of normal temperature.Adopt this method can efficiently and promptly dry precursor fiber 6A.
Device for spinning 20 as shown in Figure 8 is provided with the runner 17 that flows through for heated drying air in nozzle 19.One end of runner 17 has the relief outlet of dry air, and Open Side Down for the relief outlet of described dry air (equidirectional with nozzle 19) and the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a of its position next-door neighbour's nozzle 19.The other end of runner 17 joins by pipeline and source of the gas, and described source of the gas is not shown.So, when supply through heating with during exsiccant pressurized air, the exsiccant warm air is just along the discharge direction of precursor fiber 6A (in other words, i.e. draw direction A1: downward direction among Fig. 8) discharge.As a result, just be discharged from just immediately by hot-air dry as precursor fiber 6A.The temperature of heated drying air is preferably 30 ℃ to 100 ℃, and wind speed is preferably 1m/s to 50m/s.
Subsequently, make precursor fiber 6A sintering form pottery (crystallization), thereby make precursor fiber 6A sclerosis and obtain alumina silica fibre 6 by calcining step.Herein, softening agent is fully burning out by the heat during this, does not almost have residual in alumina silica fibre 6.
In described calcining step, preferred incinerating condition is that making the content of mullite crystal in alumina silica fibre 6 is 10 weight % or lower.For example, the calcining temperature in the calcining step is preferably in 1000 ℃ to 1300 ℃ scope.When calcining temperature is lower than 1000 ℃, just can not make precursor fiber 6A complete drying and sintering, thereby make the thermotolerance that is difficult to guarantee to provide excellence, and when fastening sealing material 4 bears compressive load, can not produce enough repulsive forces.By contrast, be higher than 1300 ℃ as calcining temperature, mullite is easy to crystallization in the alumina silica fibre 6.Therefore, so just be difficult to mullite crystalline content is reduced to 10 weight % or lower, thereby make the thermotolerance that is difficult to guarantee to provide excellence, and when fastening sealing material 4 bears compressive load, can not produce enough repulsive forces.
Subsequently, the alumina silica fibre 6 of the length that is obtained by described each step is cut into predetermined length, thereby form staple fibre to a certain degree.Thereafter, collect this staple fibre, it is loosened and compressing tablet, perhaps will be scattered in formed staple fibre dispersion liquid injection mould in the water by staple fibre, compression is also dry, thereby obtains the fiber aggregate of felted.And then, this fiber aggregate is die-cut into predetermined shape, thereby forms fastening sealing material 4.
Then, if necessary, with organic binder bond dipping fastening sealing material 4, then along fastening sealing material 4 compression and the casting molds of thickness direction with gained.The organic binder bond of this moment also can adopt polyvinyl alcohol and acrylic resin etc. except that can adopting latex and acrylic rubber and paracril etc.
In addition, fastening sealing material 4 is coated on the periphery of support of the catalyst 2, and fixing with organic adhesive tape 13, and described fastening sealing material 4 is by described fiber aggregate being die-cut into predetermined shape and forming.Then, it is pressed embedding, capsule or packs tightly step, thereby finish required catalytic convention design 1.
So the 3rd group embodiment can obtain following effect according to the present invention.
The fastening sealing material 4 of the 3rd group embodiment is made up of alumina silica fibre 6 according to the present invention, and the cross section of described alumina silica fibre 6 is not circular, but other variation shapes.Compare with the fiber of rounded section, this fibrid has better snappiness.In other words, because the cross section of alumina silica fibre 6 is not circular, so it is characterized in that, its bending along specific direction is comparatively easy.This feature makes not frangibility of alumina silica fibre, and can make it keep repulsive force for a long time.So, when fastening sealing material 4 is made by this alumina silica fibre 6, can reduce the possibility that surface pressure reduces in time.Therefore, can obtain a kind of like this catalytic convention design 1,1 pair of support of the catalyst 2 of described catalytic convention design has excellent fastening performance, and waste gas is had excellent sealing property.
In addition, when employing had the fiber formation fastening sealing material 4 in oval and cocoon shape cross section, alumina silica fibre 6 twined easily mutually, thereby makes alumina silica fibre 6 be difficult for mutual slippage and loose.
Therefore, this can reduce the reduction of surface pressure.
In addition, do not have the fiber in space to compare with inside, the heat insulating ability of tubular fibre is preferable.Therefore, adopt the fastening sealing material 4 of this fiber can reduce from support of the catalyst 2, thereby catalyzed reaction is efficiently carried out to metal casing 3 release of heat.In addition, tubular fibre can absorb and weaken sound and vibration by the space of fibrous inside.Therefore, adopt the fastening sealing material 4 of this fiber, can obtain to have the catalytic convention design 1 of excellent sound insulation and damping property.
The preparation method of the 3rd group embodiment according to the present invention, the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a of the nozzle 19 by noncircular cross section discharges spinning liquid 18.Just when metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a sprayed, the cross-sectional shape of precursor fiber 6A had reflected the cross-sectional shape of metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a to a certain extent.Yet As time goes on, under the capillary effect that precursor fiber 6A is produced, its cross-sectional shape can become circle (in other words, it has produced melt swell) after the discharge, and the cross section of precursor fiber 6A will become circle.Therefore, in the 3rd group according to the present invention embodiment, after precursor fiber 6A is discharged from, purge with heated drying air immediately, thus by remove in the precursor fiber 6A moisture and with the precursor fiber dry solidification.Therefore, can make precursor fiber 6A keep required cross-sectional shape by metal shape of the mouth as one speaks 19a, thereby relatively easily obtain to have the alumina silica fibre 6 of noncircular cross section.In other words, need to adopt this preparation method to obtain to tighten sealing material 4.
Preparation method according to the present invention in the 3rd group the embodiment, the exsiccant warm air purges along the discharge direction of precursor fiber 6A, thereby makes precursor fiber 6A dry solidification, and stretches simultaneously.In addition, by the stretch processing of carrying out by this way, the relatively easily diameter of controlling fiber and shape.Therefore, this can prepare required alumina silica fibre 6 easily and effectively.
Preparation method according to the present invention in the 3rd group the embodiment adds water-soluble plasticizer in advance in spinning liquid 18, thereby the Young's modulus of spinning liquid 18 is reduced, and reduces the generation of melt swell.Therefore, stablized the discharge behavior of spinning liquid 18 in spinning processing.So, even fiber also is not easy fracture with powerful the stretching time, and because elastic deformation, the cross-sectional shape of fiber also is not easy rounded.In addition, described softening agent is water miscible, so it can be scattered in the spinning liquid 18 equably.So, in fact the solution rate of expansion can be reduced to a fixed value, and relatively easily obtain required Fibre diameter and cross-sectional shape thus.Therefore, this can prepare required alumina silica fibre 6 easily and effectively.
In addition, the present invention can comprise the spinning equipment that is used for ceramic fiber for the 3rd group, and described spinning equipment is used for forming according to the present invention the ceramic fiber of the 3rd group fastening sealing material, also is, the spinning equipment that this ceramic fiber is used comprises: nozzle, described nozzle have the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks of noncircular cross section; The runner of supply heated drying air, described runner has the warm air relief outlet that closes on the described metal shape of the mouth as one speaks, and the layout of described runner can make heated drying air discharge by described heated drying air relief outlet along the discharge direction of ceramic precursor fibre.
In addition, in the 3rd group according to the present invention embodiment, for example understand the situation that the 3rd group according to the present invention fastening sealing material 4 is applied to catalytic convention design 1, described catalytic convention design 1 is a used catalytic convention design in the automobile purification device; Yet, the 3rd group fastening sealing material 4 also can be applicable to other devices except that the used catalytic convention design 1 of automobile refining plant certainly according to the present invention, for example diesel engine fine particle strainer (DPF), be used as the catalytic convention design of fuel cell modification device etc.
To set forth according to the present invention the 4th group embodiment below.
Referring to Fig. 1 to 3, the 4th group the embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail the catalytic convention design that is used for purification device for automobile exhaust gas below.
As shown in Figure 3, catalytic convention design 1 according to the present invention in the 4th group the embodiment in fact catalytic convention design with first group according to the present invention is identical, described catalytic convention design 1 by support of the catalyst 2, be coated on the metal casing 3 of described support of the catalyst 2 peripheries and place the fastening sealing material 4 in the space between parts 2 and 3 to form.
Herein, about support of the catalyst 2 and metal casing 3, can adopt with first group of described catalytic convention design according to the present invention in 2 and 3 identical parts; Therefore, omit its description at this.
In addition, about support of the catalyst 2, except that die casting becomes the honeycomb fashion cordierite carrier shown in this embodiment, also can adopt for example honeycomb fashion porous sintered body, described porous sintered body is the porous sintered body of silicon carbide or silicon nitride etc. for example.
In addition, shown in the support of the catalyst 20 as shown in Figure 4, can adopt the support of the catalyst of no sealing member.
As shown in Figure 1, fastening sealing material 4 has protruding joint portion 11 for long felted parts at the one end, has depression joint portion 12 at its other end.As shown in Figure 2, when being coated on support of the catalyst 2, protruding joint portion 11 just with the depression joint portion 12 interlocks.
The 4th group the embodiment according to the present invention, fastening sealing material 4 is made up of the ceramic fiber that is gathered into felted (being fiber aggregate), and described ceramic fiber is the main component of described fastening sealing material 4.In the 4th group according to the present invention embodiment, described ceramic fiber can adopt alumina silica fibre 6.At this moment, preferably use mullite crystalline content at 0 weight % or above alumina silica fibre 6 in 10 weight % or following scope.The amorphous composition of fiber with this chemical constitution is few, thereby excellent thermotolerance is provided, and has high repulsive force when applying compressive load.Therefore, stand high temperature in the space even this fiber is placed in, its surface pressure also is difficult for reducing.
The allowed band of alumina content is in the alumina silica fibre 6, is limited to 50 weight % under it, is limited to 100 weight % on it, and the allowed band of dioxide-containing silica is, is limited to 0 weight % under it, is limited to 50 weight % on it.Herein, the content lower limit of aluminum oxide is preferably 68 weight %, and the upper limit is preferably 83 weight %, and the content lower limit of silicon-dioxide is preferably 32 weight %, and the upper limit is preferably 17 weight %; More specifically, content Al more preferably 2O 3: SiO 2=72: 28.
If aluminum oxide is lower than 68 weight %, or silicon-dioxide is higher than 32 weight %, can be difficult to improve thermotolerance fully, and be difficult to produce enough repulsive forces when being compressed load.If aluminum oxide is higher than 83 weight %, or silicon-dioxide is lower than 17 weight %, also will be difficult to improve thermotolerance fully, and be difficult to produce enough repulsive forces when being compressed load.
The following 5 μ m that are limited to of the mean diameter of alumina silica fibre 6 are limited to 15 μ m on it, the deviation of Fibre diameter is preferably within ± 3 μ m.In addition, the mean diameter of fiber more preferably is limited to 7 μ m down, is limited to 12 μ m on it, and the deviation of Fibre diameter is more preferably within ± 2 μ m.
The mean diameter of fiber is lower than 5 μ m will reduce the intensity of fiber, thereby is difficult to the surface pressure that provides enough, and can produce the problem that fiber is sucked by respiratory organs.Greater than 15 μ m, when forming the fiber aggregate of felted with this fiber, its weathering quality will reduce, thereby has damaged sealing property as the mean diameter of fruit fiber.Except that these disadvantageous effects, its breaking tenacity also may reduce.It is believed that this is that increase owing to the surface-area of fiber has caused the increase of little cut, thereby produced this disadvantageous effect.In addition, when the deviation of Fibre diameter surpassed ± 3 μ m, the gathering of fiber was with regard to heterogeneity, and the result can make unit weight increase with the degree that the difference at position changes.
The lower limit of the mean length of alumina silica fibre 6 is preferably 5mm, and its upper limit is preferably 20mm, the deviation of staple length is preferably limited to ± 4mm within.The lower limit of the mean length of fiber is 8mm more preferably, and its upper limit is 13mm more preferably, the deviation of staple length more preferably is limited in ± 2mm within.
When the mean length of fiber is lower than 5mm, can produce the problem that fiber is sucked by respiratory organs easily.And in fact this fiber has no longer had the characteristic of fiber, and when forming the aggregate of felted with this fiber, fiber can not tangle well mutually, thereby is difficult to obtain enough surface pressures.When the mean length of fiber surpasses 20mm, can make fiber excessive entanglement each other, thereby when forming the aggregate of felted with this fiber, the gathering of fiber will be inhomogeneous.In other words, the unit weight of aggregate will be bigger with the variation at position, thereby be unfavorable for reducing the deviation of surface pressure value.In addition, when the deviation of staple length surpassed pact ± 4mm, the gathering of fiber will heterogeneity, caused the unit weight will be bigger with the variation at position.
The content of slag ball is preferably 3 weight % or lower in the fastening sealing material 4, more preferably 0 weight %, also, slag inclusion ball not.
When containing the slag ball, unit weight is just bigger with the variation at position, thereby is unfavorable for reducing the deviation of surface pressure value.
In addition, the preferred 0.1GPa of the tensile strength of every alumina silica fibre 6 or higher, more preferably 0.5GPa or higher.Except that positive circle, the cross-sectional shape of various alumina silica fibres 6 can be other variation shapes (for example, oval, Long Circle or be actually trilateral).
The 4th group the catalytic convention design according to the present invention, about the thickness of fastening sealing material 4 before installation, fastening sealing material 4 in loose density after the installation (GBD) and fastening sealing material 4 the initial surface pressure under installment state, preferably, they are described identical with first group of the present invention's catalytic convention design; Therefore, omit its description at this.
If desired, can carry out acupuncture processing and resin impregnation processing etc. herein, to this fastening sealing material 4.By adopting these processing, can on thickness direction, compress fastening sealing material 4, thereby make it along the thickness direction attenuation.
The preparation method of the 4th group catalytic convention design 1 will be described below in order according to the present invention.
At first, the aqueous solution of aluminum mixture salt, silicon dioxide gel and organic polymer are so that form spinning liquid.In other words, made spinning liquid by the inorganic salt method.The aqueous solution of aluminium salt is both as alumina source, again as the component that can increase the viscosity of spinning liquid.
The aqueous solution of the preferred alkaline aluminium salt of water-soluble solution.Silicon dioxide gel is both as silica source, again as making fiber have high-intensity composition.Organic polymer can be given the spinning liquid wire-drawing performance.
Can in spinning liquid, add defoamer etc.By changing the ratio of aluminium salt and silicon dioxide gel, can control the chemical constitution of alumina silica fibre 6 to a certain extent herein.
In addition, the composition of spinning liquid be not limited to this paper for example, can change the composition of spinning liquid as required, only otherwise the spinning properties and the physicals that significantly reduce fiber get final product.
Secondly, the spinning liquid of vacuum concentration gained makes the spinning liquid with concentration, temperature and viscosity of being suitable for spinning processing.In this case, the spinning liquid that preferably concentration is about 20 weight % is concentrated to about 30 weight % to 40 weight %.In addition, its viscosity is preferably 10 and moors 2000 pools.
And then the spinning liquid that is made by last method is discharged in the air by the nozzle of spinning equipment, thereby has obtained the cross-sectional shape precursor fiber similar to the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks of nozzle continuously.Precursor fiber through spinning processing is stretched when batching continuously.In this case, preferably adopt for example exsiccant pressure spin processes.
By the way, by cross-sectional shape and the size of suitably setting nozzle outlet, and, so just can be controlled at Fibre diameter within the narrow scope by discharging, stretch and the condition of batching being made as definite value.This method can reduce the deviation of Fibre diameter.
Then, the parent macrofiber that is obtained by described method is cut into about the length of 0.5mm to 10mm, thereby form staple fibre.The advantage of this staple fiber spinning method is that it can pass through controlling fiber length in narrow scope, thereby reduces the deviation of staple length, and can tentatively avoid the generation of slag ball.In other words, the length of the staple fibre of gained depends on the mechanical precision of cutting facility basically, and the deviation scope of described cutting facility is very little.
In addition, be used for cutting long stapled cutting facility and can adopt for example plug-in strip or other cut mechanically equipment.
Subsequently, this staple fibre is concentrated, loosened and compressing tablet, perhaps will be scattered in the water and the fiber dispersion that forms injects mould by staple fibre, compression and drying, thus obtain the fiber aggregate of felted.
Secondly,, make it form pottery (crystallization), so precursor fiber hardens and obtains alumina silica fibre 6 by the fiber aggregate of the described felted of calcining step sintering.
In described calcining step, the incinerating condition optimization is, makes in the alumina silica fibre 6 of gained, and the mullite crystalline content is 10 weight % or following.For example, the calcining temperature in the calcining step is preferably in 1000 ℃ to 1300 ℃ scope.When calcining temperature is lower than 1000 ℃, just can not make precursor fiber complete drying and sintering, thereby make the thermotolerance that is difficult to guarantee to provide excellence, and when fastening sealing material 4 bears compressive load, can not produce enough repulsive forces.By contrast, be higher than 1300 ℃ as calcining temperature, mullite is easy to crystallization in the alumina silica fibre 6.Therefore, so just be difficult to mullite crystalline content is reduced to 10 weight % or lower, thereby make the thermotolerance that is difficult to guarantee to provide excellence, and when fastening sealing material 4 bears compressive load, can not produce enough repulsive forces.
, can not adopt described method herein, promptly the parent macrofiber is calcined after being cut into staple fibre again, but calcines in advance before macrofiber is cut into staple fibre.
Secondly, this fiber aggregate is die-cut into predetermined shape, thereby forms fastening sealing material 4.Then, if necessary, with organic binder bond dipping fastening sealing material 4, then along fastening sealing material 4 compression and the casting molds of thickness direction with gained.The organic binder bond of this moment also can adopt polyvinyl alcohol and acrylic resin etc. except that can adopting latex and acrylic rubber and paracril etc.
In addition, fastening sealing material 4 is coated on the periphery of support of the catalyst 2, and fixing with organic adhesive tape 13.Then, it is pressed embedding, capsule or packs tightly step, thereby finish required catalytic convention design 1.
So the 4th group embodiment can obtain following effect according to the present invention.
In the 4th group according to the present invention embodiment, the deviation of the Fibre diameter of the alumina silica fibre 6 in the fastening sealing material 4 has been reduced to ± 3 μ m within, simultaneously the deviation of staple length be reduced to ± 4mm within, the content of slag ball is 3 weight % or lower.Therefore, by these synergies, can significantly reduce the variation of unit weight, and reduce the deviation of surface pressure value therefrom effectively with the position.So, can obtain stay-in-grade fastening sealing material 4 like this.
The 4th group fastening sealing material 4 has not only reduced the deviation of surface pressure according to the present invention, and can improve the value of surface pressure; Therefore, can reduce preparation fastening sealing material 4 the required alumina silica fibre 6 of sheet material amount and therefore can reduce the preparation cost of fastening sealing material 4.
Preparation method according to the present invention in the 4th group the embodiment because spinning process has adopted the inorganic salt method, thereby can be controlled at Fibre diameter in the narrow scope, and therefore this can reduce the deviation of Fibre diameter.In addition, this method has cut into staple fibre to macrofiber; Therefore, different with the fiber that is obtained by blow molding process, this method can be controlled at staple length in the narrow scope.So this can reduce the deviation of staple length.Except these effects, can also avoid producing the slag ball.Therefore, this preparation method can guarantee easily to obtain described fastening sealing material 4.
As mentioned clearly set forth, the preparation method according to the present invention in the 4th group the embodiment can provide the required method of described fastening sealing material 4 that obtains.
Preparation method according to the present invention in the 4th group the embodiment can comprise the method for the staple fibre of calcining gained pottery, and this method is one of invention of the 4th group; Also be, the preparation method of ceramic short fiber, the preparation method of described ceramic short fiber comprises: spinning process, in this operation, the spinning liquid that contains aluminum saline solution, silicon dioxide gel and organic polymer is discharged from nozzle continuously, thereby obtains the parent macrofiber; Cutting action obtains staple fibre thereby this operation cuts into predetermined length with the fiber of described length; And calcining step, this step heating and the described staple fibre of sintering.This method is relevant with the preparation method of ceramic short fiber, and the preparation method of described ceramic short fiber can reduce the length of fiber and the deviation of diameter.
In addition, in the 4th group according to the present invention embodiment, for example understand the situation that the 4th group according to the present invention fastening sealing material 4 is applied to catalytic convention design 1, described catalytic convention design 1 is a catalytic convention design used in the automobile purification device; Yet, the 4th group fastening sealing material 4 also can be applicable to other devices except that the used catalytic convention design 1 of automobile refining plant certainly according to the present invention, for example diesel engine fine particle strainer (DPF), be used as the catalytic convention design of fuel cell modification device etc.
To set forth according to the present invention the 5th group embodiment below.
[first embodiment]
Referring to Fig. 1 to 3 and Figure 12, will elaborate according to the present invention the catalytic convention design of the 5th group embodiment below, described catalytic convention design is used for purification device for automobile exhaust gas.
As shown in Figure 3, in fact the catalytic convention design with first group according to the present invention is identical for the catalytic convention design 1 of the 5th group embodiment according to the present invention, described catalytic convention design 1 by support of the catalyst 2, be coated on the metal casing 3 of these support of the catalyst 2 peripheries and place the fastening sealing material 4 between the space of described parts 2 and 3 to form.
Herein, about support of the catalyst 2 and metal casing 3, can adopt and 2 and 3 identical parts during first group according to the present invention described catalyzer dress makeup is put; Therefore, omit its description at this.
In addition, about support of the catalyst 2, except that die casting becomes the honeycomb fashion cordierite carrier shown in this embodiment, also can adopt for example honeycomb fashion porous sintered body, described porous sintered body is the porous sintered body of silicon carbide or silicon nitride etc. for example.
In addition, shown in the support of the catalyst 20 as shown in Figure 4, can adopt the support of the catalyst of no sealing member.
As shown in Figure 1, fastening sealing material 4 has protruding joint portion 11 for the parts of long felted at the one end, has depression joint portion 12 at its other end.As shown in Figure 2, when being coated on the support of the catalyst 2, protruding joint portion 11 just with the depression joint portion 12 interlocks.
The 5th group the embodiment according to the present invention, fastening sealing material 4 is made up of the ceramic fiber that is gathered into felted (being fiber aggregate), and described ceramic fiber is the main component of described fastening sealing material 4.In the 5th group according to the present invention embodiment, described ceramic fiber can adopt alumina silica fibre 6.At this moment, preferentially use mullite crystalline content at 0 weight % or above alumina silica fibre 6 in 10 weight % or following scope.Have the fiber of this chemical constitution because amorphous composition is few, thereby excellent thermotolerance can be provided, and when applying compressive load, have high repulsive force.Therefore, stand high temperature in the space even this fiber is placed in, its surface pressure also is difficult for reducing.
The chemical constitution of alumina silica fibre 6 is preferably: aluminum oxide at 68 weight % in the scope of 83 weight %, silicon-dioxide at 32 weight % in the scope of 17 weight %, particularly, more preferably Al 2O 3: SiO 2=72: 28.
If aluminum oxide is lower than 68 weight %, or silicon-dioxide is higher than 32 weight %, can be difficult to improve thermotolerance fully, and be difficult to produce enough repulsive forces when being compressed load.If aluminum oxide is higher than 83 weight %, or silicon-dioxide is lower than 17 weight %, also will be difficult to improve thermotolerance fully, and be difficult to produce enough repulsive forces when being compressed load.
Referring to signal Figure 12, when this fastening sealing material 4 was made up of alumina silica fibre 6, described fiber was bonding by ceramic binder 7 parts.So this can provide a kind of like this structure, that is, form crosslinked bridge at the overlapping part of ceramic fiber.In other words, fastening sealing material 4 is made up of the alumina silica fibre 6 with branched structure.
In the inside of fastening sealing material 4 space is arranged herein.
In addition, substitute the alumina silica fibre 6 of being given an example, for example also can use other to form fastening sealing material 4 as crystalline sapphire whisker and silicon oxide fibre etc.
Described pottery tackiness agent 7 preferably contains the material that constitutes ceramic fiber.The characteristics of above-mentioned ceramic binder 7 are to have high affinity with fiber, and make structure position have high intensity.Therefore, can guarantee that surface pressure does not reduce in time.Therefore in the 5th group of the present invention's embodiment, adopt the ceramic binder that mainly constitutes by aluminum oxide.
In addition, ceramic binder 7 can be selected the material that does not constitute ceramic fiber for use.For example, when having selected alumina silica fibre 6, can adopt the ceramic binder 7 that constitutes by zirconium white, titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, cerium dioxide, calcium oxide or magnesium oxide etc.
The lower limit of the consumption of ceramic binder 7 is preferably 1 weight %, and its upper limit is preferably 8 weight %, and more preferably 3 weight % of its lower limit, its upper limit is 7 weight % more preferably.
When described consumption was lower than 1 weight %, the bond strength between the fiber was not high.By contrast, when described consumption surpassed 8 weight %, although bond strength does not have problems, the space of fastening sealing material 4 inside had been filled, thereby can not provide required physicals for fastening sealing material 4, also is elasticity and heat insulating ability.
About the mean diameter and the mean length of alumina silica fibre 6, these parametric optimizations identical with described in first group according to the present invention the catalytic convention design; Therefore, omit its description at this.
In addition, the tensile strength of every fiber of alumina silica fibre 6 (relative intensity) is preferably 0.1GPa or higher, more preferably 0.5GPa or higher.Except that positive circle shown in Figure 12, the cross-sectional shape of alumina silica fibre 6 can be other variation shapes (for example oval, Long Circles and be essentially the shape of triangle).
In the 5th group according to the present invention catalytic convention design, the thickness of fastening sealing material 4 before installation, fastening sealing material 4 be the initial surface pressure under installment state in loose density after the installation (GBD) and fastening sealing material 4, and they are described identical with first group of the present invention's catalytic convention design; Therefore, omit its description at this.
If desired, can carry out acupuncture processing and resin impregnation processing etc. herein, to this fastening sealing material 4.By adopting these processing, can on thickness direction, compress fastening sealing material 4, thereby make it along the thickness direction attenuation.
The preparation method of the 5th group catalytic convention design 1 will be described below in order according to the present invention.
At first, prepare spinning liquid according to the method identical, thereby make the macrofiber of precursor fiber with method described in the preparation method of the 4th group according to the present invention catalytic convention design.
Then, make the precursor fiber sclerosis by carrying out first calcining step, thereby make precursor fiber form pottery (crystallization); So, obtained alumina silica fibre 6.
In described calcining step, preferred incinerating condition is that making the content of mullite crystal in alumina silica fibre 6 is 10 weight % or lower.For example, the calcining temperature in the calcining step is preferably in 1000 ℃ to 1300 ℃ scope.When calcining temperature is lower than 1000 ℃, just can not make precursor fiber 6A complete drying and sintering, thereby make the thermotolerance that is difficult to guarantee to provide excellence, and when fastening sealing material 4 bears compressive load, can not produce enough repulsive forces.By contrast, be higher than 1300 ℃ as calcining temperature, mullite is easy to crystallization in the alumina silica fibre 6.Therefore, so just be difficult to mullite crystalline content is reduced to 10 weight % or lower, thereby make the thermotolerance that is difficult to guarantee to provide excellence, and when fastening sealing material 4 bears compressive load, can not produce enough repulsive forces.
Secondly, adopt for example plug-in strip cutting macrofiber, long alumina silica fibre 6 is cut into predetermined length, thereby obtain the staple fibre of certain-length.Then, described staple fibre is collected, loosened and compressing tablet, perhaps will be scattered in the water and the fiber dispersion that forms injects mould by staple fibre, compression and drying, thus obtain the fiber aggregate of felted.Then, this fiber aggregate is die-cut into predetermined shape, so that obtain fastening sealing material 4.
After the described die casting operation, carry out bonding process, so that make the staple fibre of described formation fiber aggregate bonding mutually by ceramic binder.More specifically, carry out following processing.
At first, the material solution of preparation ceramic binder 7 is administered to it between staple fibre that constitutes fiber aggregate then.In other words, the first step at bonding process, carry out the processing of using of fluent meterial, in this treating processes, fluent meterial is administered between the staple fibre that constitutes fiber aggregate, so that make the fluent meterial that will form ceramic binder 7 thereafter adhere to the overlapping part of the precursor fiber that constitutes described aggregate.In this case, described material solution preferably adopts for example water-soluble solution, and described water-soluble metal solution has for example aluminum chloride., can adopt the aluminum saline solution of achloride herein, also, contain aluminum ions non-aluminum chloride aqueous solution.In addition, can select to contain the aqueous solution of the metallic cation except that aluminum ion, for example the zirconium chloride aqueous solution, titanium chloride aqueous solution and chromium chloride solution etc.
As the surrogate of the alkaline aqueous solution of aluminum chloride, adopt the spinning liquid of alumina silica fibre in the bonding process usually herein.Can prepare the ceramic binder of making by the material that constitutes fiber in this case.
Described water-soluble metal solution preferably has low viscosity, more specifically, is about 0.1 centipoise to 10 centipoises.Low viscous water-soluble metal solution is easy to produce surface tension thereon, and this makes can provide bond properties preferably at the position that staple fibre overlaps mutually.In addition, when viscosity is too high, will be difficult to guarantee that solution enters the inside of fiber aggregate equably.
The lower limit 1 weight % of the add-on of water-soluble metal solution is limited to 10 weight % in the fiber aggregate on it, more preferably, is limited to 2 weight % under it, and its upper limit is about 8 weight %.Add-on is less than the solution amount deficiency that 1 weight % can cause being attached to the fiber overlapping part, can not make fiber bonding securely mutually sometimes.By contrast, add-on can cause fastening sealing material 4 inside greater than 10 weight % space is filled by excessive solution, weaken sometimes fastening sealing material 4 the mechanical property that should possess.
The method of using material solution to fiber aggregate comprises, for example fiber aggregate is immersed in the solution, so that make this solution impregnation enter the method for fiber aggregate; Adopt the spraying means vaporific solution to be sprayed into the method for fiber aggregate inside; Dip in and get solution and make solution enter method of fiber aggregate etc.In described method, preferred pickling process.The inside that pickling process can material solution guarantees to enter equably fiber aggregate.
After the dip treating, preferred heating and dry this fiber aggregate.Heating and drying treatment can be removed the moisture in the material solution to a certain extent, thereby can stably carry out next step calcination processing.
Secondly, the described exsiccant fiber aggregate of high-temperature calcination once more, the metal component that sticks in the material solution of staple fibre overlapping part is sintered, thereby has formed pottery; So ceramic binder 7 has formed crosslinked bridge at corresponding site, thereby staple fibre is glued together mutually.
Then, if necessary, give fastening sealing material 4 dipping organic binder bonds, then along fastening sealing material 4 compression and the casting molds of thickness direction with gained.The organic binder bond of this moment also can adopt polyvinyl alcohol and acrylic resin etc. except that adopting latex like acrylic rubber and the paracril etc.
Then, become predetermined shape with described fiber aggregate is die-cut, thereby obtain fastening sealing material 4.Described fastening sealing material 4 is coated on the periphery of support of the catalyst 2, and fixing with organic adhesive tape 13.Then, it is pressed embedding, capsule or packs tightly step, thereby finish required catalytic convention design 1.
Therefore, first embodiment of the 5th group can obtain following effect according to the present invention.
First embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, fastening sealing material 4 can provide a kind of structure,, by adopting ceramic binder 7, forms crosslinked bridge at the overlapping part of ceramic fiber that is, thereby makes each fiber be difficult for sliding and loose.
Therefore, even when fastening sealing material stands extraneous pressure for a long time, its surface pressure also is difficult for reducing.In addition, in fastening sealing material 4 of the present invention, part is bonding each other owing to fiber, thereby the internal voids of fastening sealing material is not by completely filled.Therefore, solid sealing material 4 desired intrinsic physical propertys (elasticity, heat insulating ability etc.) that maintenance is tight.In addition, the ceramic binder 7 as cross-bridge has excellent thermotolerance.So even this fastening sealing material 4 in use stands about 1000 ℃ high temperature, the intensity of its bond site also is difficult for reducing, this advantage can prevent that also surface pressure from reducing.
First embodiment of the 5th group has been selected alumina silica fibre 6 according to the present invention, has also selected mainly to contain the ceramic binder 7 of aluminum oxide.In other words, ceramic binder 7 contains the material that constitutes alumina silica fibre 6.Therefore, this tackiness agent has good affinity with corresponding fiber, so it has improved the intensity of bond site.Therefore, this adhesive effect can guarantee to prevent that surface pressure from reducing in time.In addition, the employing with alumina silica fibre 6 of excellent heat resisting can reduce high temperature lower surface pressure in time and the degree that reduces.
First embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, the consumption of ceramic binder 7 is within described preferred range.Therefore, this can provide high bond strength, can make fastening sealing material 4 keep required characteristic simultaneously.
First embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, in the preparation of fastening sealing material 4, the calcining step of precursor fiber and bonding process carry out respectively.More specifically, bonding process carries out after calcining step.Therefore, compare with the situation that described two steps are carried out simultaneously, this can guarantee to obtain shape alumina silica fibre 6 preferably, thereby can guarantee that described alumina silica fibre 6 with desired shape is bonded to each other.Therefore, this can guarantee easily to make that surface pressure is difficult in time and the fastening sealing material 4 that reduces.
[second embodiment]
To set forth according to the present invention second embodiment of the 5th group below.Herein, with the difference of mainly setting forth with first embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, identical part will point out with identical reference number, and omit corresponding narration.
In this case, according to the get everything ready fastening sealing material 4 of described structure of following sequential system.At first, the spinning liquid that adopts alumina silica fibre carries out spinning process as raw material according to the method identical with first embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, so that obtain the macrofiber of precursor fiber.Secondly, carry out cutting action, adopt plug-in strip cutting macrofiber, thereby obtain the staple fibre of certain-length.Then, carry out the die casting operation, method is to collect, loosen and the described staple fibre of compressing tablet; Perhaps will be scattered in the water and the fiber dispersion that forms injects mould by staple fibre, compression is also dry, thereby obtains the fiber aggregate of felted.Secondly, carry out the fluent meterial application process, method is to make the overlapping part that adheres to the precursor fiber of composition fiber aggregate at the fluent meterial that will form ceramic binder 7 afterwards.Secondly, in sintering step, heating fiber aggregate, thereby while sintering precursor fiber and fluent meterial.At last, fiber aggregate is carried out the die-cut processing of Denging, so that obtain fastening sealing material 4.
In other words, in first embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, the application process of fluent meterial is that (after fiber has formed pottery) carries out after calcining step, different with it is, in second embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, the working procedure of coating of fluent meterial is to carry out at (under the state that precursor fiber is not sintered) before the calcining step, and this operation and described first embodiment are very different.
Two methods listing below are the specific embodiments about the fluent meterial application process.
In first method, the fiber aggregate that will be made by the precursor fiber of alumina silica fibre 6 places under the high humidity environment, thereby fluent meterial is entered wherein.In this case, can guarantee that the water vapor that exists under the high humidity environment enters this fiber aggregate inside, then condensing becomes moisture.In addition, make moisture guarantee optionally to adhere to the overlapping part of fiber by capillary effect.Herein, the precursor fiber of alumina silica fibre 6 is water miscible.Therefore, the moisture of absorption can make the overlapping part generation dissolving to a certain degree of precursor fiber.Because in fact the composition with alumina silica fibre 6 is identical for the fluent meterial that produces because of dissolving, so in fact this fluent meterial can form ceramic binder 7 afterwards.Therefore, when carrying out calcining step in 1000 ℃ to 1300 ℃ temperature range, precursor fiber and fluent meterial are sintered to pottery simultaneously, and the result has formed cross-bridge by ceramic binder 7 between alumina silica fibre 6.In the method, need the certain condition (for example, the amount of water vapor, treatment temp and treatment time etc.) of control, herein, to avoid producing the precursor fiber excessive dissolution.Therefore, when moisture is directly offered precursor fiber by steps such as atomizings, be necessary to consider the problem of excessive dissolution.
The characteristics of second method are, non-aqueous fluent meterial is sprayed on the fiber aggregate, thereby respective substance is offered this fiber aggregate, described non-aqueous fluent meterial contains the inorganic components identical with the composition of alumina silica fibre 6, and described fiber aggregate is made up of the precursor fiber of alumina silica fibre 6.In this case, make non-aqueous fluent meterial guarantee to enter the inside of fiber aggregate, and stick to the overlapping part of fiber by surface tension effects.About non-aqueous fluent meterial, enumerated for example commercially available non-aqueous silicone oil etc. at this.Owing to contain silicon (Si) in the silicone oil, and silicon is inorganic elements contained in the alumina silica fibre 6, so in fact it can form ceramic binder 7 afterwards.
Therefore, when carrying out calcining step in 1000 ℃ to 1300 ℃ temperature range, precursor fiber and non-aqueous fluent meterial are sintered to pottery simultaneously, and the result has formed cross-bridge by ceramic binder 7 between alumina silica fibre 6.In this case, ceramic binder 7 is the oxide compound (silicon-dioxide: SiO of silicon 2)., except nonaqueous silicone oil, also can adopt for example certain material herein, described material is dissolved in oil by for example TEOS (tetraethyl silicate) and forms.
Second embodiment of the 5th group can obtain following effect according to the present invention.
In the preparation method of second embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, precursor fiber calcining step and bonding process carry out simultaneously; And in the preparation method of first embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, calcining step and bonding process carry out respectively, and by contrast, the preparation method of second embodiment can reduce heating steps.Therefore, this can reduce the use of heat energy, so saved manufacturing cost.Therefore, this can low cost prepare fastening sealing material 4 effectively, and the surface pressure of described fastening sealing material 4 is difficult for lowering in time.
When adopting first method, make at the fluent meterial that forms ceramic binder 7 afterwards and guarantee to be attached to overlapping part.In addition, described fluent meterial is the material that fibrolysis produces, and it has the composition identical with alumina silica fibre 6 basically.
Therefore, described fluent meterial has high avidity to precursor fiber, and this can guarantee to make fiber bondingly has high intensity.Therefore, this can guarantee that surface pressure does not reduce in time.
Adopt this second method also to make and guarantee to adhere to the position that fiber overlaps mutually at the fluent meterial that forms ceramic binder 7 subsequently.In addition, in this case, adopted nonaqueous fluent meterial.Therefore, even when this fluent meterial adheres on the precursor fiber of water miscible alumina silica fibre 6, precursor fiber can be not dissolved yet.Therefore, needn't worry that alumina silica fibre 6 reduces intensity because of the excessive dissolution of its precursor fiber, also needn't impose a condition carefully to prevent the transition dissolving.Therefore, this can relatively easily prepare fastening sealing material 4.In addition, because described fluent meterial contains inorganic elements contained in the alumina silica fibre 6,, thereby guarantee that bonding between the fiber has high intensity so it and precursor fiber have high avidity.So this can guarantee to prevent that surface pressure from descending in time.
In the preparation method of second embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, between spinning process and mold pressing procedure, carry out cutting action, by cut mechanically the staple fibre acquisition staple fibre of predetermined length thereby make the parent macrofiber.In other words, the preparation method of second embodiment of the 5th group is different from according to the present invention the preparation method of first embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, in described back one preparation method, after calcining step, carry out cutting action, and in described last preparation method, after calcining step, carry out cutting action.
When the preparation method of first embodiment who adopts according to the present invention the 5th group, before calcining step, carry out cutting action, at this moment alumina silica fibre 6 can be because the impact during cutting and cracking and fragment at cutting part.This be because, when precursor fiber is sintered to pottery, understand hardening usually, and simultaneously they have become fragile also.So alumina silica fibre 6 will form irregular end surface shape, and the physical strength of fiber has also reduced.
By contrast, because precursor fiber is softer relatively, when it was subjected to mechanical shock when cutting, they were difficult in phenomenons such as cutting part break.Therefore, the alumina silica fibre 6 that is obtained by the described precursor fiber of sintering has the end surface shape of rule, and has excellent physical strength.Therefore, second embodiment of the 5th group can improve initial surface pressure according to the present invention.It is believed that the generation that has prevented to break etc., can prevent to a certain extent that also surface pressure from reducing in time.
In addition, in the preparation method of second embodiment of the 5th group according to the present invention, because the object that is cut is not too hard precursor fiber, so just not easy to wear as the blade of the plug-in strip of cut mechanically equipment.Therefore, this just needn't frequently change damaged blade, and has therefore prevented the increase of preparation cost.In addition, because the hardness of blade need not be very big, adopt ordinary blade to get final product, so this can be avoided increasing equipment cost.
In addition, during second method in adopting according to the present invention second embodiment of the 5th group, can adopt and for example dip in access method, describedly dip in the atomising method that access method can replace applying non-aqueous fluent meterial.Certainly, non-aqueous fluent meterial evaporation can be applied.
In addition, in the preparation method of the 5th group according to the present invention fastening sealing material, can use and contain the aluminum ions aqueous solution, as the alkaline aqueous solution of aluminum chloride, or the spinning liquid of described alumina silica fibre.
In addition, in the preparation method of the 5th group according to the present invention fastening sealing material, prepared water-soluble metal solution can be, wherein contains the aqueous solution that is selected from least a material in following group, is made up of aluminum chloride, zirconium chloride, titanium chloride and chromium chloride for described group.
In addition, in the 5th group according to the present invention embodiment, for example understand the situation that the 5th group according to the present invention fastening sealing material 4 is applied to catalytic convention design 1, described catalytic convention design 1 is a catalytic convention design used in the automobile purification device; Yet, the 5th group fastening sealing material 4 also can be applicable to other devices except that the used catalytic convention design 1 of automobile refining plant certainly according to the present invention, for example diesel engine fine particle strainer (DPF), be used as the catalytic convention design of fuel cell modification device etc.
To set forth according to the present invention the 6th group embodiment below.
The preparation method of the 6th group alumina fiber complex comprises according to the present invention: the spinning step, and adopt sapphire whisker feed liquid used in the inorganic salt method as raw material, obtain successive parent macrofiber; Cutting step promptly is cut into the parent staple fibre to described parent macrofiber; Become the felt step, adopt the parent staple fibre that obtains by last method to form the parent staple fibre of felted; Calcining step, the parent staple fibre of calcining described felted is so that the preparation alumina fiber complex.
In the preparation method of the 6th group according to the present invention alumina fiber complex, calcining step carries out at spinning step, cutting step with after becoming the felt step, thereby, not only can improve the intensity of alumina short fibre effectively, the alumina fiber complex that is used for making subsequently, and can prepare a kind of like this alumina fiber complex, described alumina fiber complex has high initial surface pressure, and this surface pressure is difficult for reducing in time.
Its reason is explained as follows.
In other words, when adopting the traditional method preparation to be used for the alumina short fibre of alumina fiber complex, carry out spinning process and obtain successive parent macrofiber with the sapphire whisker spinning liquid, calcine this parent macrofiber and form the aluminum oxide macrofiber, adopt for example cutting facility of mechanical means then, cut this aluminum oxide macrofiber, thereby obtain alumina short fibre; Yet resulting like this alumina short fibre is meeting jagged (seeing Figure 15 (b)) on its cut surface.
Herein, Figure 15 (a) has shown the SEM photo of alumina short fibre cut surface, this alumina short fibre is in the preparation method of the 6th group according to the present invention alumina fiber complex, form the used sapphire whisker of alumina fiber complex, Figure 15 (b) is the SEM photo of the dimension cut surface of short aluminium fibre, and this alumina short fibre is the sapphire whisker that is used for the alumina fiber complex that made by traditional method.
During cutting aluminum oxide macrofiber, before described cutting facility etc. cuts off sapphire whisker fully, the position of closing on cut surface on the aluminum oxide macrofiber can produce chip, these chips are attached on the cut surface, so on the long stapled cut surface of aluminum oxide, formed burr, shown in Figure 15 (b).
When adopting mechanical means such as cutting facility to cut the aluminum oxide macrofiber, cut surface is subjected to very big shear-stress.Yet, because described aluminum oxide macrofiber is formed by the hard and crisp pottery with certain intensity, so the shear-stress that is applied on the cut surface can make the aluminum oxide macrofiber produce chip at certain position, can imagine, shown in Figure 15 (b), can cause the generation of burr attached to the chip on the cut surface.
In addition, the mutual intricately mat of alumina short fibre that is used for alumina fiber complex, when all having produced burr on the cut surface of every alumina short fibre, the burr of the alumina short fibre of these mutual intricately mats will damage other fibers.
Examine described alumina short fibre and find, at some positions, owing to described chip and burr have produced tiny crackle, at the other position, applied force has produced tiny crackle during owing to cutting fibre.
So these chips, burr and tiny crackle etc. can cause this alumina short fibre that enough physical strengths can not be provided, thereby have increased deviation.
Herein, the initial surface pressure of alumina fiber complex and surface pressure reduction in time, depend on the physical strength of the alumina short fibre that is used for this alumina fiber complex, when every alumina short fibre has excellent physical strength, it is enough high that the initial surface pressure of alumina fiber complex just can keep, and surface pressure reduction in time will reduce.
Yet as previously mentioned, in traditional alumina fiber complex, the physical strength of alumina short fibre that is used for alumina fiber complex is not high enough, and its deviation is bigger; Therefore, this can not make alumina fiber complex obtain sufficiently high initial surface pressure, can imagine, surface pressure reduction in time also can be relatively large.
In the preparation method of the 6th group according to the present invention alumina fiber complex, handles such as employing cutting facility cut the successive precursor fiber of the length that is obtained by spinning process, thereby obtain the parent staple fibre; Described precursor fiber is without calcining step.In other words, because the successive precursor fiber of described length is after the process spinning process, only carried out stretch processing, so, this precursor fiber is soft, when promptly using the successive precursor fiber of this length of cutting such as cutter, can be because of on cut surface, not applied shear-stress closing on the position generation chip of cut surface, shown in Figure 15 (a) yet.And cut surface also is difficult for producing fine cracks.
So, to compare with the alumina short fibre for preparing by traditional method, the alumina short fibre that is prepared by this method has sufficiently high physical strength and less deviation, and described alumina short fibre has been made into alumina fiber complex subsequently.Therefore, adopt the prepared alumina fiber complex of alumina fiber complex preparation method of the present invention to have high initial surface pressure, and its surface pressure is difficult for reducing in time.
To elaborate according to the present invention the preparation method of the 6th group alumina fiber complex below.
In the preparation method of the 6th group according to the present invention alumina fiber complex, at first carry out spinning process, the sapphire whisker feed liquid of employing in the inorganic salt method is as raw material, so that obtain long successive precursor fiber.
In spinning process, at first, preparation is used for the described sapphire whisker feed liquid of inorganic salt method.
Adopt the inorganic salt method to prepare described sapphire whisker feed liquid.More specifically, preferably by the aqueous solution of silicon dioxide gel and aluminium salt is prepared described sapphire whisker feed liquid.Because can providing, this method has high-intensity sapphire whisker.
About the aqueous solution of described aluminium salt, can select for example aluminum saline solution of alkalescence.Herein, the aluminum saline solution as the aluminium source is the material that is used for making described sapphire whisker spinning liquid tackify.
Herein, in this sapphire whisker feed liquid, the blending ratio of aluminum saline solution and silicon dioxide gel is preferably, and in the equivalent of aluminum oxide and silicon-dioxide, aluminum oxide accounts for 40 weight % to 100 weight %, and silicon oxide accounts for 0 weight % to 60 weight %.
In addition, if necessary, can in this sapphire whisker feed liquid, add organic polymer.So this can make the sapphire whisker feed liquid have wire-drawing performance.
Organic polymer can adopt carbonaceous straight-chain polymer, for example PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) etc.Yet the composition that can be used as carbon source is not limited to straight-chain polymer, can adopt molecular weight any composition relatively low, non-chain structure (being non-polymer), as long as its carbon containing.
Secondly, the spinning liquid of vacuum concentration gained, thus make sapphire whisker spinning liquid with concentration, temperature and viscosity of being suitable for spinning processing.In this case, preferably be that the spinning liquid of about 20 weight % is concentrated to about 30 weight % to 40 weight % with concentration.In addition, the preferred 1Pas of viscosity of the sapphire whisker feed liquid behind the vacuum concentration is to 200Pas (10 moor 2000 pools).
And then, adopt methods such as dry type pressure spinning, the sapphire whisker feed liquid that is made by last method is discharged by the nozzle of spinning equipment, thereby obtain the cross-sectional shape raw fibre similar continuously to the metal shape of the mouth as one speaks of nozzle.Raw fibre through spinning processing is stretched when batching continuously, thereby has obtained successive parent macrofiber.
The shape of the mouth as one speaks to nozzle has no particular limits, and it can be an Any shape, for example can select positive circle, trilateral, Y shape and star.
In addition, preferably under the spinning state, described raw fibre is stretched about 100 times to 200 times, thereby form successive parent macrofiber.So, in this scope, can make sapphire whisker with suitable intensity.When the long stapled cross section of successive parent was positive circle, the lower limit of its mean diameter was preferably 3 μ m, is limited to 25 μ m on it, and the lower limit in the straight footpath of fiber is 5 μ m more preferably, and its upper limit is 15 μ m more preferably.
In addition, the preferred operation of crispaturaing that adopts is so that crispatura described successive parent macrofiber.This method is suitably tangled alumina short fibre mutually in one-tenth felt process subsequently.
Secondly, carry out cutting action, so that described successive parent macrofiber is cut into the parent staple fibre.
In this cutting action, described successive parent macrofiber is cut into following length, the lower limit of described length is preferably 0.1mm, more preferably 2mm, its upper limit is preferably 100mm, more preferably 50mm.
More specifically, with many parent macrofibers of this successive side-by-side alignment, with cuttings such as rectangle cutters, at this moment, in this cutting action, cut surface is preferably flat.If the cutting mask of each parent staple fibre has required shape, then formed subsequently alumina short fibre also has required shape.And if these parent staple fibres and alumina short fibre are sucked by the people, then can cause serious injury human body.
Secondly, be carried out to the felt operation, so that adopt the parent staple fibre of gained to make felted parent staple fibre.
Become in felt operation at this, the parent staple fibre of gained is concentrated, is loosened and compressing tablet after, again it is compressed, so that obtain the parent staple fibre of felted.
In the parent staple fibre of this felted, described parent staple fibre is in entanglement state to a certain degree.
Shape to the parent staple fibre of described felted has no particular limits, and its shape is generally rectangle.
In addition, come to determine roughly its size according to the purposes of alumina fiber complex.
Secondly, preferably this felted parent staple fibre being carried out acupuncture handles.In this acupuncture is handled, stick a needle in the described felted parent staple fibre, preferably tangle in the upper and lower of this parent staple fibre, thereby can obtain fluffy and high-elastic felted parent staple fibre.
The described felted parent staple fibre of calcining in calcining step then so that make alumina fiber complex, thereby is finished according to the present invention the preparation method of the 6th group alumina fiber complex.
In this calcining step, at first, in containing the atmosphere of oxygen, preferably heated (pre-treatment) described felted parent staple fibre 10 minutes to 60 minutes down at 400 ℃ to 600 ℃.The purpose that adopts this operation is to calcine and to remove the contained organic constituent of parent staple fibre that is used for felted parent staple fibre.
Secondly, will heat in air through described pretreated felted parent staple fibre, the following of temperature is limited to 1000 ℃, and preferred 1050 ℃, be limited to 1300 ℃ on the temperature, preferred 1250 ℃, so that make parent short fibre sintered.Calcining temperature is lower than 1000 ℃ can make the sintering of parent staple fibre insufficient, thereby is difficult to obtain high-intensity alumina fiber complex.By contrast, calcining temperature surpasses 1300 ℃ then can not obtain more high-intensity alumina fiber complex, thereby causes the decline of production efficiency and economic benefit.
In this calcining step, the parent staple fibre that is used for felted parent staple fibre is sintered and forms alumina short fibre, and, in the operation of described acupuncture, described parent staple fibre intricately mat, then, the parent staple fibre of these entanglement be sintered the calcining and bonding mutually.So prepared alumina fiber complex has excellent physical strength.
In addition, through in the incinerating felted parent staple fibre under the described conditions, organic constituent is burned and removed, so its volume has just reduced.
Usually, described silica/alumina staple fibre mainly is made up of aluminum oxide and silicon-dioxide, and the mullite crystalline content of this alumina short fibre is preferably 0 weight % to 10 weight % or lower.Owing to the content of amorphous component in the alumina short fibre with this chemical constitution is less,, and when being compressed load, has high repulsive force so it has excellent thermotolerance.Therefore, when adopting according to the present invention the 6th group alumina fiber complex as fastening sealing material, described fastening sealing material honeycomb filter 10 as described in the background art, even described fastening sealing material stands high temperature in the space between metal casing and honeycomb filter 10, the surface pressure of described fastening sealing material also is difficult for reducing.
In addition, the tensile strength of fiber of described alumina short fibre is preferably 1.2GPa or bigger, more preferably 1.5GPa or bigger.In addition, the fiber bending intensity of described alumina short fibre is preferably 1.0GPa or bigger, more preferably 1.5GPa or bigger.In addition, the breaking tenacity of described alumina short fibre is preferably 0.8MN/m 3/2Or bigger, more preferably 1.3MN/m 3/2Or it is bigger.This is because along with the increase of tensile strength, flexural strength and the breaking tenacity value of fiber, described alumina short fibre not only has enough stretch-prooves and bending resistance, and has snappiness and easy fracture not.
Subsequently, by operation such as die-cut, described sapphire whisker is formed fastening sealing material, in fact described fastening sealing material and fastening sealing material 50 shown in Figure 180 are of similar shape.
Come suitably to determine the size of fastening sealing material according to purposes, when this fastening sealing material will be centered around the periphery of honeycomb filter 10, for example, as shown in figure 16, the thickness of fastening sealing material is about the external diameter of honeycomb filter 10 and holds about 1.1 to 4 times of space between the internal diameter of metal casing of this honeycomb filter 10, more preferably from about 1.5 to 3 times.
If described thickness is less than 1.1 times, then when accommodating honeycomb filter 10 in the metal casing, fastener material just can not produce good fastening performance to honeycomb filter 10, thereby make skew and loosening takes place between honeycomb filter 10 and the metal casing.Owing to can not provide excellent sealing performance certainly in this case, waste gas can leak from the position, space, thereby its antifouling property is bad.By contrast, thickness just is difficult to for 4 times honeycomb filter 10 is installed in the metal casing greater than described space, especially when adopting press insert type installation method that honeycomb filter 10 is fit into metal casing.
In addition, in fastening sealing material is accommodated in metal casing after, the loose density lower limit of fastening sealing material is preferably 0.1g/cm 3, its upper limit is preferably 0.3g/cm 3, the loose density lower limit of described fastening sealing material is 0.1g/cm more preferably 3, its upper limit is 0.25g/cm more preferably 3When the value of loose density less than 0.1g/cm 3The time, fastening sealing material just is difficult to obtain sufficiently high initial surface pressure; By contrast, when the value of loose density greater than 0.3g/cm 3The time, the amount of needed alumina short fibre will increase, and this can increase cost.
In addition, if desired, can carry out acupuncture to described fastening sealing material and handle, and described fastening sealing material has stood in organic binder bond after the dip treating, further along thickness direction compression fastening sealing material.The carrying out of these processing can make fastening sealing material be compressed along thickness direction, thereby makes its attenuation.
Described organic binder bond also can adopt PVA and acrylic resin except that can adopting latex and acrylic rubber and paracril etc.
As mentioned above, in the preparation method of the 6th group according to the present invention alumina fiber complex, the sapphire whisker spinning liquid is through spinning process, and stretching then forms successive parent macrofiber, and the successive parent macrofiber of gained is cut into the parent staple fibre; Then, make it form the felted parent, so, make alumina fiber complex by this felted parent of sintering.
The preparation method of the 6th group alumina fiber complex according to the present invention does not produce chip, burr and fine cracks on the cut surface of described parent staple fibre, then that this parent is short fibre sintered, so can make the alumina short fibre of physical strength excellence.
In other words, has excellent physical strength owing to be used for the alumina short fibre of alumina fiber complex, so can provide initial surface pressure sufficiently high alumina fiber complex like this, the surface pressure of described alumina fiber complex is difficult for reducing in time.
