Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Mikronisieren von Feststoffen in Strahlmühlen, wobei die Feststoffe über einen Injektor in die Strahlmühle eingebracht werden und wobei die Mikronisierung gegebenenfalls in Gegenwart von Mahl- und/oder Dispergierhilfsmitteln erfolgt, wobei die Feststoffe dem Injektor zwangsweise zugeführt werden.The present invention relates to a method for micronizing solids in jet mills, the solids being introduced into the jet mill via an injector and the micronization optionally being carried out in the presence of grinding and / or dispersing auxiliaries, the solids being forcibly fed to the injector.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Mikronisieren von Feststoffen in Strahlmühlen, wobei die Feststoffe mittels eines Treibgases über einen Injektor in die Strahlmühle eingebracht werden und wobei die Mikroni­sierung gegebenenfalls in Gegenwart von Mahl- und/oder Dispergiermitteln erfolgt.The invention relates to a method for micronizing solids in jet mills, the solids being introduced into the jet mill by means of a propellant gas via an injector, and the micronization optionally being carried out in the presence of grinding and / or dispersing agents.

Die Mikronisierung von Feststoffen kann in Strahlmühlen, beispielsweise vom Typ der Spiral- oder Gegenrohrstrahl­mühlen durchgeführt werden (vergl. Winnacker Küchler: Chemische Technologie, 4. Auflage, Band 1, S. 91-93, Carl Hanser Verlag München Wien 1984). Strahlmühlen bestehen aus einem Mahlraum, in der Wasserdampf- oder Luftstrahlen mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten eingeblasen und die zu mikronisierenden Feststoffe (im folgenden auch als Mahlgut bezeichnet) über einen Injektor mit einem Treibgas eingebracht werden. Als Treibgas wird dabei zumeist Druckluft oder Wasserdampf (im folgenden kurz als Dampf bezeichnet) verwendet. Die Zuführung der Fest­stoffe in den Injektor erfolgt in der Regel über einen Einlauftrichter bzw. eine Eintragsschurre.The micronization of solids can be carried out in jet mills, for example of the spiral or counter tube jet type (see Winnacker Küchler: Chemische Technologie, 4th Edition, Volume 1, pp. 91-93, Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich, Vienna 1984). Jet mills consist of a grinding chamber into which water vapor or air jets are blown in at high speeds and the solids to be micronized (hereinafter also referred to as regrind) are injected with a propellant gas. Compressed air or steam is usually used as the propellant (hereinafter briefly referred to as steam). The solids are usually fed into the injector via an inlet funnel or an entry chute.

Zur Unterstützung der Mikronisierung werden oft auch Mahlhilfsmittel dem Feststoff zugegeben. Insbesondere bei Pigmenten werden darüber hinaus zumeist Dispergier­hilfsmittel eingesetzt, die deren Dispergierbarkeit in verschiedenen Materialien verbessern und zugleich auch die Mikronisierung der Pigmente unterstützen. Die oben genannte Art des Eintrags von Feststoffen in Strahlmüh­len hat den Nachteil, daß Mahlstörungen aufgrund von Verstopfungen des Injektors und Ablagerungen des Mahl­gutes an den Wänden des Einlauftrichters auftreten können.To aid micronization, grinding aids are often added to the solid. In addition, in the case of pigments in particular, dispersing aids are mostly used which improve their dispersibility in various materials and at the same time also support the micronization of the pigments. The above-mentioned type of entry of solids in jet mills has the disadvantage that grinding disturbances due to blockages of the injector and deposits of the ground material can occur on the walls of the inlet funnel.

Diese Mahlstörungen führen in der Regel zu einer vermin­derten Qualität des mikronisierten Feststoffs. Zudem kann bei diesen Mahlstörungen Mahlgut aus der unter Überdruck stehenden Strahlmühle austreten.These grinding disorders usually lead to a reduced quality of the micronized solid. In addition, in the case of these grinding disorders, regrind can emerge from the pressurized jet mill.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung bestand darin, ein Verfahren zum Mikronisieren von Feststoffen in Strahlmühlen be­reitzustellen, daß die beschriebenen Nachteile nicht aufweist.The object of the invention was to provide a method for micronizing solids in jet mills that does not have the disadvantages described.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß Mahlstörung und die damit verbundenen Probleme nicht auftreten, wenn die Fest­ stoffe dem Injektor der Strahlmühle zwangsweise zuge­führt werden.It has now been found that grinding disorder and the related problems do not occur when the feast substances are forcibly fed to the jet mill injector.

Unter dem Begriff "zwangsweise Zuführung der Feststoffe" wird erfindungsgemäß verstanden, daß den Feststoffen nur ein Freiheitsgrad zur Bewegung zur Verfügung steht, d. h. daß die Feststoffe in einer erzwungenen Bewegungsrichtung transportiert werden. Ein Ausweichen der Feststoffe in eine andere Bewegungsrichtung, wie dies bei der herkömm­lichen Zuführung der Feststoffe in den Injektor über Einlauftrichter bzw. Eintragsschurren möglich war (Aus­treten von Mahlgut aus der Stahlmühle aufgrund von Ver­stopfungen der Apparatur), ist ausgeschlossen.According to the invention, the term “forced feeding of the solids” is understood to mean that the solids only have one degree of freedom for movement, i. H. that the solids are transported in a forced direction of movement. The solids cannot move in a different direction of movement, as was possible with the conventional feeding of the solids into the injector via inlet funnels or entry chutes (regrind from the steel mill due to blockages in the apparatus).

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist somit ein Verfahren zum Mikronisieren von Feststoffen in Strahlmühlen, wobei die Feststoffe über einen Injektor in die Strahlmühle einge­bracht werden und wobei die Mikronisierung gegebenen­falls in Gegenwart von Mahl- und/oder Dispergiermitteln erfolgt, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Feststoffe dem Injektor zwangsweise zugeführt werden.The invention thus relates to a process for the micronization of solids in jet mills, the solids being introduced into the jet mill via an injector and the micronization optionally taking place in the presence of grinding and / or dispersing agents, which is characterized in that the solids Injector are forcibly fed.

Die zwangsweise Zuführung der Feststoffe erfolgt vor­zugsweise über eine pneumatische Fördervorrichtung. In dieser pneumatischen Fördervorrichtung werden die Fest­stoffe mit einem Treibgas, vorzugsweise Druckluft, flui­disiert und zum Injektor transportiert. Die Fluidisie­rung der Feststoffe kann auch mit anderen Gasen, wie beispielsweise Dampf, erfolgen.The forced feeding of the solids is preferably carried out via a pneumatic conveying device. In this pneumatic conveying device, the solids are fluidized with a propellant gas, preferably compressed air, and transported to the injector. The solids can also be fluidized with other gases, such as steam.

Um einen störungsfreien Betrieb der pneumatischen För­dervorrichtung zu gewährleisten, ist es vorteilhaft, die Feststoffe zwangsweise und rückstoßfrei in diese einzu­ tragen. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise mittels einer Druck­schleuse. Dabei können geeignete Druckschleusen ver­schiedenster Bauart eingesetzt werden. Bevorzugt werden Druckschleusen, die aus einer Kombination einer Austra­geschleuse und einer Durchblaseschleuse bestehen.In order to ensure trouble-free operation of the pneumatic conveying device, it is advantageous to force the solids into it without recoil wear. This is preferably done using a pressure lock. Suitable pressure locks of various types can be used. Pressure locks consisting of a combination of a discharge lock and a blow-through lock are preferred.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Eintrag der Fest­stoffe in die pneumatische Fördervorrichtung in gleich­mäßiger Dosierung erfolgt.It is particularly advantageous if the solids are fed into the pneumatic conveying device in uniform doses.

Die gleichmäßige Dosierung wird vorzugsweise durch Do­sierwaagen vorgenommen. Sie kann aber auch über eine Volumenmessung der Feststoffe erfolgen. Diese Verfah­rensvarianten ermöglichen das Einhalten von definierten Treibgas-/Feststoffverhältnissen in der pneumatischen Fördervorrichtung. Je nach den Erfordernissen kann da­durch das Treibgas-/Feststoffverhältnis durch Variation der Feststoffmenge jederzeit Sollwerten angepaßt wer­den.The uniform dosing is preferably carried out by dosing scales. However, it can also be done by measuring the volume of the solids. These process variants make it possible to maintain defined propellant gas / solid ratios in the pneumatic conveying device. Depending on the requirements, the propellant gas / solids ratio can be adjusted at any time by varying the amount of solids.

Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden Injektoren be­vorzugt, die gemäß Fig. 1 aus einer Kombination von einer Dampfleitung (11), einer Strahldüse (13), einem Feststoff-/ Dampf-/Luftmischrohr (14) und einer Fangdüse (15) bestehen. Diese spezielle Anordnung gewährleistet einen gleichmäßigen Eintrag des Feststoff-/Trägergas­gemisches in die unter Überdruck stehende Strahlmühle.In the method according to the invention, injectors are preferred which, according to FIG. 1, consist of a combination of a steam line (11), a jet nozzle (13), a solid / steam / air mixing tube (14) and a trap nozzle (15). This special arrangement ensures an even entry of the solid / carrier gas mixture into the pressurized jet mill.

In einer sehr vorteilhaften Variante des erfindungsge­mäßen Verfahrens wird die zwangsweise Zuführung der Feststoffe sowie gegebenenfalls die Zugabe von Mahl- und/oder Dispergierhilfsmittel über eine Druckmessung an einer Einrichtung in der Strahlmühle überwacht, wobei die Einrichtung gegebenenfalls zugleich als Mahl- und/oder Dispergierhilfsmittelaufgabevorrichtung dient.In a very advantageous variant of the method according to the invention, the forced feeding of the solids and optionally the addition of grinding and / or dispersing aids is carried out via a pressure measurement monitored on a device in the jet mill, the device optionally also serving as a grinding and / or dispersing aid feed device.

Die Druckmessung erfolgt vorzugsweise in Meßzyklen, wo­bei zwischen den Meßzyklen durch einen Druckstoß oder durch eine konstante Spülluftmenge, der zwischen den Meßzyklen ein Druckstoß überlagert ist, ein Verstopfen der Einrichtung verhindert wird.The pressure measurement is preferably carried out in measuring cycles, with a blockage of the device being prevented between the measuring cycles by a pressure surge or by a constant amount of purge air, which is superimposed by a pressure surge between the measuring cycles.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren kann bei der Mikronisie­rung von verschiedensten Feststoffen eingesetzt werden. Besonders vorteilhaft können Pigmente, insbesondere an­organische Pigmente wie Titandioxidpigmente, Eisenoxid­pigmente, Chromoxidpigmente und Mischphasenpigmente, nach diesem Verfahren mikronisiert werden. Durch die spezielle Mahl- bzw. Dispergierhilfsmittelaufgabevor­richtung in der Strahlmühle wird eine gleichmäßige und homogene Beschichtung der Pigmente mit Dispergierhilfs­mitteln erreicht.The method according to the invention can be used in the micronization of a wide variety of solids. Pigments, in particular inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide pigments, iron oxide pigments, chromium oxide pigments and mixed phase pigments, can be micronized particularly advantageously by this process. The special grinding or dispersing agent feed device in the jet mill ensures a uniform and homogeneous coating of the pigments with dispersing agents.

Bei der Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens treten keine Mahlstörungen mit den damit verbundenen Problemen auf.When carrying out the method according to the invention, there are no grinding problems with the problems associated therewith.

Zudem wird durch die beschriebenen Dosier- und Überwa­chungsmaßnahmen der Mahlvorgang und die Förderung der Feststoffe optimiert. Dies ermöglicht eine wesentlich höhere Auslastung der Strahlmühle, ohne daß eine Quali­tätsminderung der mikronisierten Feststoffe eintritt.In addition, the described dosing and monitoring measures optimize the grinding process and the conveyance of the solids. This enables a significantly higher utilization of the jet mill without the quality of the micronized solids occurring.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ferner eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens. Diese Vorrichtung besteht aus

  • a) einer Dosiervorrichtung
  • b) einer Zwangseintragsvorrichtung

  • d) a jet mill

Die Dosiervorrichtung kann aus unterschiedlichsten Ein­richtungen bestehen, die eine Dosierung von Feststoffen ermöglichen. Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn sie gemäß Fig. 1 aus einer Kombination eines Vorratsgefäßes (1), eines Schwenkschiebers (2), eines Zellenrades (3) und einer Dosierwaage (5) besteht.The dosing device can consist of a wide variety of devices that enable dosing of solids. It is advantageous if, according to FIG. 1, it consists of a combination of a storage vessel (1), a swivel slide (2), a cellular wheel (3) and a dosing scale (5).

Auch die Zwangseintragsvorrichtung, der Injektor und die Strahlmühle können verschiedenster Bauart sein.The forced entry device, the injector and the jet mill can also be of various types.

Vorzugsweise besteht dabei die Zwangseintragsvorrichtung gemäß Fig. 1 aus einer Kombination einer Eintragsschurre (6), einer Austragsschleuse (7), einer Durchblaseschleu­se (9) und einer pneumatischen Fördervorrichtung (10).1 preferably consists of a combination of an entry chute (6), a discharge lock (7), a blow-through lock (9) and a pneumatic conveying device (10).

Einzelne Teile der Zwangseintragsvorrichtung können durch andere geeignete Teile bzw. Apparaturen ersetzt werden. Beispielsweise können anstatt der Austrags­schleuse (7) und der Durchblaseschleuse (9), Druckschleu­sen anderer Art aber gleicher Funktionsweise eingebaut sein.Individual parts of the forced entry device can be replaced by other suitable parts or apparatus. For example, instead of the discharge lock (7) and the blow-through lock (9), pressure locks of a different type but of the same function can be installed.

Besonders bevorzugt ist eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrich­tung, in der der Injektor gemäß Fig. 1 aus einer Kombi­nation einer Dampfleitung (11), einer Strahldüse (13), einem Feststoff-/Dampf-/Luftmischrohr (14) und einer Fangdüse (15) besteht.A device according to the invention is particularly preferred, in which the injector according to FIG. 1 consists of a combination of a steam line (11), a jet nozzle (13), a solid / steam / air mixing tube (14) and a collecting nozzle (15).

Der Injektor kann aber auch hekömmlicher Bauart sein. Ein solcher Injektor ist beispielsweise in Winnacker, Küchler, Chemische Technologie, 4. Auflage, Band 1, S. 93, Carl Hanser Verlag München, Wien, 1984, abgebildet.The injector can also be of conventional design. Such an injector is shown, for example, in Winnacker, Küchler, Chemische Technologie, 4th edition, volume 1, p. 93, Carl Hanser Verlag Munich, Vienna, 1984.

Besonders bevorzugt ist auch eine erfindungsgemäße Vor­richtung, bei der in der Strahlmühle gemäß Fig. 1 eine Einrichtung (17) zur Druckmessung eingebaut ist, die gegebenenfalls zugleich als Mahl- und/oder Dispergier­hilfsmittelaufgabevorrichtung dient.A device according to the invention is also particularly preferred, in which a device (17) for pressure measurement is installed in the jet mill according to FIG. 1, which device optionally also serves as a grinding and / or dispersing agent feed device.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und die dazugehörende Vorrichtung sollen anhand der Fig. 1 näher erläutert werden.The method according to the invention and the associated device are to be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 1.

Das Mahlgut wird in das Vorratsgefäß (1) gegeben. Am Auslauf des Vorratsgefäßes befindet sich ein Schwenk­schieber (2), mit dem der Auslauf geschlossen und geöffnet werden kann. Über die Dosierwaage (5), die vom Zellenrad (3) gespeist wird, gelangt das Mahlgut zur Zwangseintragsvorrichtung. Die Drehzahl des Zellenrades (3) wird dabei in Abhängigkeit von der gewünschten Auf­gabemenge des Mahlguts geregelt.The ground material is placed in the storage vessel (1). At the outlet of the storage vessel there is a swivel slide (2) with which the outlet can be closed and opened. The regrind reaches the forced entry device via the dosing scale (5), which is fed by the cellular wheel (3). The speed of rotation of the cellular wheel (3) is regulated depending on the desired feed quantity of the regrind.

Die Verbindungsleitung (4), an die sich ein Staubfilter anschließt, dient zum Druckausgleich. In der Zwangsein­tragsvorrichtung gelangt das Mahlgut über die Eintrags­schurre (6) in die Druckschleuse, die aus einer Aus­tragsschleuse (7) und einer Durchblaseschleuse (9) be­steht. Über diese spezielle Druckschleuse werden die Feststoffe zwangsweise und rückstoßfrei in die pneumati­sche Fördervorrichtung (10) transportiert. In der pneu­ matischen Fördervorrichtung wird das Mahlgut mit Druck­luft fluidisiert und zum Feststoff-/Dampf-/Luftmischrohr (14) des Injektors gefördert. Die Druckluftmenge kann dabei mit dem Meßgerät (8) überwacht werden. Das fluidi­sierte Mahlgut wird schließlich mit Dampf, der über die Dampfleitung (11) und die Strahldüse (13) zum Fest­stoff-/Dampf-/Luftmischrohr (14) geleitet wird, über die Fangdüse (15) in die Strahlmühle (16) transportiert. Die Dampfmenge wird dabei mit dem Meßgerät (12) überwacht.The connecting line (4), to which a dust filter connects, serves to equalize the pressure. In the forced entry device, the regrind passes through the entry chute (6) into the pressure lock, which consists of a discharge lock (7) and a blow-through lock (9). The solids are forcibly transported into the pneumatic conveying device (10) without recoil via this special pressure lock. In the tire matic conveyor, the regrind is fluidized with compressed air and conveyed to the solid / steam / air mixing tube (14) of the injector. The amount of compressed air can be monitored with the measuring device (8). The fluidized regrind is finally transported to the jet mill (16) via the catch nozzle (15) with steam, which is passed via the steam line (11) and the jet nozzle (13) to the solid / steam / air mixing tube (14). The amount of steam is monitored with the measuring device (12).

Am Eingang der Strahlmühle befindet sich eine Einrich­tung (17) zur Druckmessung, über die auch Mahl- und/oder Dispergierhilfsmittel zugegeben werden können. Die Ein­richtung besteht erfindungsgemäß aus mehreren Öffnungen bzw. Rohrenden, wobei sich an eine Öffnung eine Appara­tur zur Druckmessung anschließt und über die anderen Öffnungen ein oder mehrere Mahl- und/oder Dispergier­hilfsmittel den fluidisierten Feststoffen zugegeben wer­den können. Die Zugabe der Mahl- und/oder Dispergier­hilfsmittel erfolgt dabei vorzugsweise über Dosierpum­pen.At the entrance of the jet mill there is a device (17) for measuring the pressure, via which grinding and / or dispersing aids can also be added. According to the invention, the device consists of a plurality of openings or pipe ends, an apparatus for pressure measurement being connected to one opening and one or more grinding and / or dispersing aids being able to be added to the fluidized solids via the other openings. The grinding and / or dispersing aids are preferably added via metering pumps.

Die Druckmessung wird in Meßzyklen durchgeführt. Zwi­schen den jeweiligen Meßzyklen wird auf die Einrichtung (17) ein Druckstoß oder eine konstante Spülluftmenge, der ein Druckstoß überlagert ist, gegeben, wodurch ein Verstopfen der Einrichtung mit Feststoff verhindert wird.The pressure measurement is carried out in measuring cycles. Between the respective measuring cycles, a pressure surge or a constant amount of purge air, over which a pressure surge is superimposed, is applied to the device (17), thereby preventing the device from becoming clogged with solids.

Mit dieser speziellen Einrichtung kann der gesamte Mahlvorgang, einschließlich der Dosierung des Mahlguts, dem Zwangseintrag der Feststoffe in den Injektor, dem Betrieb des Injektors sowie der Zugabe von Mahl- und/­oder Dispergierhilfsmitteln überwacht werden. Die Zugabe der Mahl- und/oder Dispergierhilfsmittel kann mit Hilfe der Dosierwaage und dieser speziellen Meßeinrichtung exakt in Abhängigkeit vom Gewicht des Mahlguts erfol­gen.With this special device, the entire grinding process, including the dosage of the regrind, the forced entry of the solids into the injector, the Operation of the injector and the addition of grinding and / or dispersing aids are monitored. The grinding and / or dispersing aids can be added with the aid of the dosing scale and this special measuring device depending on the weight of the material to be ground.

Bei Abweichungen des Druckes innerhalb der Mühle von einem vorgegebenen Sollwert, d.h. Abweichungen von den optimalen Mahlbedingungen, können schnelle Korrekturmaß­nahmen durchgeführt werden, wodurch Qualtitätsschwan­kungen bei den mikronisierten Feststoffen sicher vermie­den werden.If the pressure inside the mill deviates from a predetermined setpoint, i.e. Deviations from the optimal grinding conditions, quick corrective measures can be carried out, whereby quality fluctuations in the micronized solids are reliably avoided.

Das folgende Beispiel zeigt die Vorteile des erfindungs­gemäßen Verfahrens im Vergleich zu einem herkömmlichen Verfahren zum Mikronisieren von Feststoffen:The following example shows the advantages of the method according to the invention compared to a conventional method for micronizing solids:

Beispiel 1example 1

Ein nach dem Sulfatverfahren hergestelltes Titandioxid­pigment mit Rutilstruktur, das mit 0,8 Gew.-% SiO₂ und 2,2 Gew.-% Al₂O₃ nachbehandelt war, wurde unter Zusatz eines Dispergierhilfsmittels in einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung gemäß Abb. 1 mikronisiert. Als Dispergier­hilfsmittel wurde ein in Wasser gelöstes Umsetzungspro­dukt von Trimethylolpropan mit Ethylenoxid eingesetzt, wie es in der DE-B-1 467 442, Beispiel 2, beschrieben ist. Die Menge des Dispergierhilfsmittels betrug 0,25 Gew.-% bezogen auf das trockene Pigment.A prepared by the sulfate titanium dioxide pigment with a rutile structure, which was aftertreated with 0.8 wt .-% SiO₂ and 2.2 wt .-% Al₂O₃, was micronized with the addition of a dispersing agent in a device according to the invention as shown in Fig. 1. A water-soluble reaction product of trimethylolpropane with ethylene oxide, as described in DE-B-1 467 442, example 2, was used as the dispersing aid. The amount of the dispersing aid was 0.25% by weight, based on the dry pigment.

Die Vorrichtung setzte sich aus folgenden Einzelteilen zusammen:

  • a) einer Dosiervorrichtung, bestehend aus einer Kombi­nation eines Vorratssilos (1), eines Schwenkschie­bers (2), eines Zellenrades (3) und einer Bandwaage (5), wobei sämtliche Geräte üblicher Bauart waren;
  • b) einer Zwangseintragsvorrichtung, bestehend aus einer Kombination einer Eintragsschurre (6) übli­cher Bauart, einer Austrageschleuse (7), einer Durchblaseschleuse (9) und einer pneumatischen Fördervorrichtung (10), wobei die Austragschleuse und die Durchblaseschleuse handelsübliche Zellen­räder aus V4A-Stahl mit einem Zellenraddurchmesser von 300 mm waren und die pneumatische Fördervor­richtung eine Preßluftleitung mit Meßblende war;
  • c) einem speziellen Injektor mit einer Dampfleitung (11) üblicher Bauart, einer Strahldüse (13), einem Feststoff-/Dampf-/Luftmischrohr (14) und einer Fangdüse (15), wobei die Strahldüse eine handels­übliche Düse aus Gußbronze war, die Fangdüse aus einem Venturirohr aus ST-6--Stahl bestand und das Feststoff-/Dampf-/Luftmischrohr (14) aus einem V4A-Stahlrohr mit einem Durchmesser von 80 mm ge­fertigt war;
  • d) einer Spiralstrahlmühle (16) üblicher Bauart mit einem Durchmesser von 915 mm, in der sich am Ein­gang der Mühle hinter der Fangdüse (15) eine Ein­richtung zur Druckmessung (17) befand, über die auch die Dispergierhilfsmittelaufgabe erfolgte.
The device consisted of the following individual parts:
  • a) a dosing device, consisting of a combination of a storage silo (1), a swivel slide (2), a cellular wheel (3) and a belt scale (5), all devices being of conventional design;
  • b) a forced entry device, consisting of a combination of an entry chute (6) of conventional design, a discharge lock (7), a blow-through lock (9) and a pneumatic conveying device (10), the discharge lock and the blow-through lock using commercially available cell wheels made of V4A steel with a Cell wheel diameter of 300 mm and the pneumatic conveyor was a compressed air line with orifice;
  • c) a special injector with a steam line (11) of conventional design, a jet nozzle (13), a solid / steam / air mixing tube (14) and a catch nozzle (15), the jet nozzle being a commercially available nozzle made of cast bronze, the catch nozzle consisted of a Venturi tube made of ST-6 steel and the solid / steam / air mixing tube (14) was made of a V4A steel tube with a diameter of 80 mm;
  • d) a spiral jet mill (16) of conventional design with a diameter of 915 mm, in which there was a device for pressure measurement (17) at the entrance of the mill behind the collecting nozzle (15), via which the dispersing agent was also added.

Das Dispergierhilfsmittel wurde in der angegebenen Menge über eine handelsübliche Dosierpumpe dem fluidisierten Pigment zugegeben. Die Druckmessung erfolgte mit einer Druckmeßapparatur üblicher Bauart.The dispersing aid was added to the fluidized pigment in the specified amount via a commercially available metering pump. The pressure was measured using a pressure measuring device of the usual type.

Die pneumatische Fördervorrichtung wurde mit Luft mit einem Druck von 4 bar betrieben. Pro Stunde und pro Tonne des Titandioxidpigmentes wurden 130 cm³ (0,16 Ton­nen) Luft verbraucht.The pneumatic conveyor was operated with air at a pressure of 4 bar. 130 cm³ (0.16 tons) of air were consumed per hour and per ton of the titanium dioxide pigment.

Zur Mikronisierung wurden 2,0 Tonnen Dampf pro Tonne des Titandioxidpigmentes benötigt.Micronization required 2.0 tons of steam per ton of the titanium dioxide pigment.

Der Durchsatz des Titandioxidpigmentes betrug 2,0 bis 2,0 Tonnen pro Stunde.The throughput of the titanium dioxide pigment was 2.0 to 2.0 tons per hour.

Beim Betrieb dieser Vorrichtung traten keinerlei Mahl­störungen auf und das mikronisierte Titandioxidpigment konnte in der gewünschten guten Qualität erhalten werden.No grinding disturbances occurred during the operation of this device and the micronized titanium dioxide pigment could be obtained in the desired good quality.

Beispiel 2 (Vergleichsbeispiel) Example 2 (comparative example )

Das in Beispiel 1 eingesetzte Titandioxidpigment wurde unter Zusatz des gleichen Dispergierhilfsmittels in einer herkömmlichen Vorrichtung mikronisiert, wie sie in Winnacker, Küchler, Chemische Technologie, 4. Auf­lage, Band 1, S. 93, Carl Hanser Verlag München, Wien, 1984, abgebildet ist. Es wurde eine Spiralstrahlmühle des gleichen Typs wie in Beispiel 1 eingesetzt.The titanium dioxide pigment used in Example 1 was micronized with the addition of the same dispersing aid in a conventional device as shown in Winnacker, Küchler, Chemische Technologie, 4th edition, Volume 1, p. 93, Carl Hanser Verlag Munich, Vienna, 1984 . A spiral jet mill of the same type as in Example 1 was used.

Der Eintrag des Pigmentes in den Injektor ergolgte über eine Eintragsschurre, wobei der Injektor und die Ein­tragsschurre üblicher Bauart waren. Die Dispergierhilfs­mittelzugabe erfolgte in bekannter Weise durch kontinu­ierliches Besprühen des Pigmentes in der Eintragsschurre in der gleichen Menge wie in Beispiel 1 angegben.The pigment was introduced into the injector via an entry chute, the injector and the entry chute being of conventional design. The dispersing aid was added in a known manner by continuously spraying the pigment in the feed chute in the same amount as stated in Example 1.

Beim Betrieb dieser Vorrichtung wurden zur Mikronisie­rung 2,4 Tonnen Dampf pro Tonne Titandioxidpigment ver­braucht. Der Durchsatz des Titandioxidpigmentes betrug 1,5 bis 1,8 Tonnen pro Stunde.The operation of this device consumed 2.4 tons of steam per ton of titanium dioxide pigment for micronization. The throughput of the titanium dioxide pigment was 1.5 to 1.8 tons per hour.

Es traten bis zu zehn Mahlstörungen pro Tag auf, was damit verbunden auch zur Produktion von Pigment mit teilweise verminderter Qualität führte.Up to ten grinding disorders occurred per day, which also led to the production of pigment with partially reduced quality.

Der Vergleich zu Beispiel 1 zeigt, daß bei Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens die Durchsatzmengen des Ti­tandioxidpigmentes erheblich gesteigert werden konnten. Damit verbunden war eine Dampfersparnis von 0,4 Tonnen pro Tonne des Titandioxidpigmentes und die Produktion von Pigment mit verminderter Qualität wird sicher ver­mieden.A comparison with Example 1 shows that the throughput quantities of the titanium dioxide pigment could be increased considerably when using the method according to the invention. This was associated with a steam saving of 0.4 tons per ton of the titanium dioxide pigment and the production of pigment with reduced quality is certainly avoided.
