Description

本発明は、球状の不純物が少ない合成シリカガラス粉末を経済的に製造することができる方法と、この方法によって製造した球状の合成シリカガラス粉末に関する。 The present invention relates to a method capable of economically producing a synthetic silica glass powder with less spherical impurities and a spherical synthetic silica glass powder produced by this method.

半導体用途のシリコン単結晶の製造に用いる石英ガラスルツボは、以前は天然石英粉末を原料として製造されていたが、天然石英は精製しても金属不純物を完全には取除くことができないので、高純度化のため、合成石英粉末が用いられるようになり、近年は、ルツボ外側部分を天然石、ルツボ内周部分を合成石英を原料として製造したルツボが用いられている。合成石英は金属不純物が極めて少ないので、高純度のシリコン単結晶を引上げることができる。 Silica glass crucibles used for the production of silicon single crystals for semiconductors were previously manufactured using natural quartz powder as raw material. However, natural quartz cannot be completely removed even if refined quartz is refined. Synthetic quartz powder has come to be used for purification. In recent years, a crucible manufactured using natural stone for the outer part of the crucible and synthetic quartz for the inner peripheral part of the crucible has been used. Since synthetic quartz has very few metal impurities, it can pull up high-purity silicon single crystals.

この高純度の合成非晶質シリカ粉末を製造する方法としては、高純度の四塩化珪素を水で加水分解させ、生成したシリカゲルを乾燥、整粒、焼成して合成非晶質シリカ粉末を得る方法が知られている(特許文献1など)。また、珪酸エステル等のアルコキシシランを酸とアルカリの存在下で加水分解してゲル化させ、得られたゲルを乾燥、粉砕後、焼成することにより合成非晶質シリカ粉末を得る方法が知られている(特許文献2,3など)。 As a method for producing this high-purity synthetic amorphous silica powder, high-purity silicon tetrachloride is hydrolyzed with water, and the resulting silica gel is dried, sized and fired to obtain a synthetic amorphous silica powder. A method is known (for example, Patent Document 1). Also known is a method of obtaining a synthetic amorphous silica powder by hydrolyzing an alkoxysilane such as a silicate ester in the presence of an acid and an alkali to form a gel, and drying, grinding and firing the resulting gel. (Patent Documents 2, 3, etc.).

上記文献に記載されている従来の合成シリカガラスの製造方法によれば、石英ガラスルツボなどに使用されるガラス粉末を得るには、ゲル化した合成シリカを乾燥後に粉砕する工程が必要であり、粉砕に手間がかかり、しかも形状が不規則であり、球状粒子を得ることができない。さらに、粉砕装置から不純物が混入する懸念があり、粉砕のコストもかかる。 According to the conventional method for producing a synthetic silica glass described in the above-mentioned document, in order to obtain a glass powder used for a quartz glass crucible or the like, a step of pulverizing the gelated synthetic silica after drying is required. Grinding takes time, and the shape is irregular, and spherical particles cannot be obtained. Furthermore, there is a concern that impurities are mixed from the pulverizer, and the cost of pulverization is also high.

本発明は従来の製造方法における上記問題を解決したものであり、シリカ原料をゲル化した後に、粉砕工程を必要とせずに、球状のシリカガラス粉末粒子を経済的に製造する方法を提供する。 This invention solves the said problem in the conventional manufacturing method, and provides the method of manufacturing spherical silica glass powder particle | grains economically without requiring a grinding | pulverization process after gelatinizing a silica raw material.

〔スプレー熱風乾燥工程〕
上記合成シリカ質ゲルを水分調整してスラリーにし、このシリカ質ゲルのスラリーをに熱風中にスプレー噴霧して乾燥し、球状のシリカ粒子にする。
[Spray hot air drying process]
The synthetic siliceous gel is adjusted to moisture to form a slurry, and the slurry of siliceous gel is sprayed into hot air and dried to form spherical silica particles.

スラリーのシリカ濃度はスプレー噴霧に適する濃度であればよく、例えば15wt%〜30wt%程度である。スラリーを噴霧する熱風の温度は、噴霧された液滴が適度に乾燥される温度であればよく、例えば、180℃〜200℃である。 The silica concentration of the slurry may be a concentration suitable for spraying and is, for example, about 15 wt% to 30 wt%. The temperature of the hot air for spraying the slurry may be a temperature at which the sprayed droplets are appropriately dried, and is, for example, 180 ° C. to 200 ° C.

スプレー噴霧の手段としては一般のスプレードライヤーを用いることができる。スプレー方法としては、ノズルから噴霧する方法、あるいは回転ディスクにスラリーを注入して噴霧させるなど種々のタイプのスプレー方法を利用することができ、何れも目的の粒径などになるように噴霧条件に調整すればよい。ノズルから噴霧する方法は加圧ノズルでもよく、二流体ノズルでもよい。 As a spraying means, a general spray dryer can be used. As the spraying method, various types of spraying methods such as spraying from a nozzle or injecting slurry into a rotating disk and spraying can be used. Adjust it. The method of spraying from the nozzle may be a pressurized nozzle or a two-fluid nozzle.

〔加熱焼成工程〕
スプレー乾燥によって得た球状粒子を、1125℃以上に加熱焼成して、嵩比重1.0以上、比表面積0.1m2/g以下にガラス化する。焼成前の状態を図1に示す。焼成温度1000℃、焼成温度1125℃、焼成温度1200℃の焼成状態を図2〜図4に示す。また、焼成温度と嵩密度の関係を図5に示す。焼成温度と比表面積の関係を図6に示す。焼成温度と光透過範囲の関係を図7に示す。1250℃で焼成したシリカガラス粉末の粒度分布を図8に示す。
[Heating and firing process]
Spherical particles obtained by spray drying are heated and fired to 1125 ° C. or higher to vitrify to a bulk specific gravity of 1.0 or more and a specific surface area of 0.1 m 2 / g or less. The state before firing is shown in FIG. FIGS. 2 to 4 show firing states at a firing temperature of 1000 ° C., a firing temperature of 1125 ° C., and a firing temperature of 1200 ° C. Moreover, the relationship between a calcination temperature and a bulk density is shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the firing temperature and the specific surface area. FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the firing temperature and the light transmission range. The particle size distribution of the silica glass powder fired at 1250 ° C. is shown in FIG.

焼成方法は、通常は石英製の容器に充填してバッチで焼成すればよい。また、回転式のキルンで連続的に焼いてもよく、この焼成物はさらさらの分散状態になる。焼成の雰囲気は、ガラス内部の気泡の除去効果を高めるには、焼成後半に減圧してもよく、さらには不活性ガスで置換して焼成してもよい。 As a firing method, a quartz container is usually filled and fired in a batch. Moreover, you may bake continuously with a rotary kiln and this baked product will be in the state of smooth dispersion. In order to enhance the effect of removing bubbles in the glass, the firing atmosphere may be reduced in pressure in the latter half of the firing, or further replaced with an inert gas and fired.

図1に示すように焼成前の乾燥粒子はガラス化していない。図2に示すように1000℃で焼成してもガラス化は不十分である。一方、図3に示すように1125℃で焼成したものは次第にガラス化し、図4に示すように1200℃で焼成したものはガラス化が進行している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the dried particles before firing are not vitrified. As shown in FIG. 2, vitrification is insufficient even when fired at 1000 ° C. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the one fired at 1125 ° C. is gradually vitrified, and the one fired at 1200 ° C. as shown in FIG. 4 is vitrified.

焼成温度とガラス化の程度は図5および図6にも示されており、図5に示すように、焼成温度が1100℃を超えると急激に嵩比重が増加し、1125℃以上で焼成すると嵩比重が1.0以上になる。また、図6に示すように、焼成温度が1100℃を超えると急激に比表面積が小さくなり、1125℃以上で焼成すると比表面積は0.1m2/g以下になる。 The firing temperature and the degree of vitrification are also shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 5, when the firing temperature exceeds 1100 ° C., the bulk specific gravity suddenly increases. Specific gravity becomes 1.0 or more. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the specific surface area rapidly decreases when the firing temperature exceeds 1100 ° C., and the specific surface area becomes 0.1 m 2 / g or less when fired at 1125 ° C. or higher.

また、本発明の方法によって製造した合成シリカガラス粉末は、シャープな粒度分布を有しており、図8に示すように、1250℃で焼成したシリカガラス粉末の粒径は約60μmから約120μmに集中しており、平均粒径D50は約110μmである。 In addition, the synthetic silica glass powder produced by the method of the present invention has a sharp particle size distribution. As shown in FIG. 8, the particle size of the silica glass powder fired at 1250 ° C. is about 60 μm to about 120 μm. The average particle size D50 is about 110 μm.

さらに、本発明の方法によって製造した合成シリカガラス粉末は、ガラス質でありながら、光透過性が焼成前の乾燥粒子より低い性質を有する。本発明の合成シリカガラス粉末をガラス瓶に入れ、ガラス瓶の底から光(赤色レーザ光)を照射して、ガラス粉末が赤色に輝く範囲(ガラス底からの高さ)を目視観察すると、図7に示すように、焼成温度が900℃以下の場合(ガラス化前)には、約19mmの範囲まで光が透過するが、焼成温度が1000℃を超えると光の透過範囲が急激に低下し、焼成温度が1250℃以上のガラス化が進行した状態では光の透過範囲は約13mmから約12mmに低下し、焼成前の約60%程度に低下する。 Furthermore, the synthetic silica glass powder produced by the method of the present invention has a property that light permeability is lower than that of dried particles before firing, while being vitreous. When the synthetic silica glass powder of the present invention is put into a glass bottle, light (red laser light) is irradiated from the bottom of the glass bottle, and the range in which the glass powder shines red (height from the glass bottom) is visually observed, FIG. As shown, when the firing temperature is 900 ° C. or lower (before vitrification), the light is transmitted to a range of about 19 mm, but when the firing temperature exceeds 1000 ° C., the light transmission range is drastically lowered and the firing is performed. In a state where vitrification at a temperature of 1250 ° C. or higher has progressed, the light transmission range is reduced from about 13 mm to about 12 mm, and is reduced to about 60% before firing.

以下、本発明の実施例を示す。
〔実施例1〕
ヒュームドシリカ(商品名アエロジルAE50)をゲル化し、濃度15wt%に水分調整してシリカスラリーにした。このスラリーをスプレードライヤーを用い、入口温度200℃、出口温度92度の熱風中に、加圧ノズル(ノズル径1mm)から噴霧圧1.3MPaの圧力で乾燥室の下方から上方に向けて噴霧し、平均粒径170μmの燥球状粒子を得た。この乾燥粒子を空気中で13時間焼成した。

Examples of the present invention will be described below.
[Example 1]
Fumed silica (trade name Aerosil AE50) was gelled and adjusted to a water content of 15 wt% to form a silica slurry. This slurry is sprayed from the bottom of the drying chamber to the top at a pressure of 1.3 MPa from a pressure nozzle (nozzle diameter 1 mm) in hot air with an inlet temperature of 200 ° C. and an outlet temperature of 92 ° C. Dry spherical particles having an average particle size of 170 μm were obtained. The dried particles were fired in air for 13 hours.
The dried particles before firing are shown in FIG. A state at a firing temperature of 1000 ° C. is shown in FIG. A state at a firing temperature of 1125 ° C. is shown in FIG. A state at a firing temperature of 1200 ° C. is shown in FIG. The relationship between the firing temperature and the bulk density is shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the firing temperature and the specific surface area. FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the firing temperature and the light transmission range. The particle size distribution of the silica glass powder fired at 1250 ° C. is shown in FIG.

図2に示すように1000℃で焼成してもガラス化は不十分である。図3に示すように1125℃で焼成したものは次第にガラス化しており、図4に示すように1200℃で焼成したものはガラス化が進行している。これに対応し、図5に示すように、焼成温度が1100℃を超えると急激に嵩比重が増加し、1125℃以上で焼成すると嵩比重が1.0以上になる。また、図6に示すように、焼成温度が1100℃を超えると急激に比表面積が小さくなり、1125℃以上で焼成すると比表面積は0.1m2/g以下になる。このように、焼成温度が1125℃で物性が大きく変化しており、この温度がガラス化の始まる変局点であることを示している。 As shown in FIG. 2, vitrification is insufficient even when fired at 1000 ° C. As shown in FIG. 3, the one fired at 1125 ° C. is gradually vitrified, and as shown in FIG. 4, the one fired at 1200 ° C. is vitrified. Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 5, when the firing temperature exceeds 1100 ° C., the bulk specific gravity suddenly increases, and when fired at 1125 ° C. or higher, the bulk specific gravity becomes 1.0 or higher. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the specific surface area rapidly decreases when the firing temperature exceeds 1100 ° C., and the specific surface area becomes 0.1 m 2 / g or less when fired at 1125 ° C. or higher. Thus, the physical properties change greatly at a firing temperature of 1125 ° C., indicating that this temperature is the inflection point at which vitrification begins.

図8に示すように、1250℃で焼成したシリカガラス粉末の粒径は約60μmから約120μmに集中しており、平均粒径D50は約110μmである。また、図2(A)〜(C)に示すように、焼成温度1125℃で製造したガラス粒子は、空洞が外に開いたクラインの壷型の球状粒子であるが、1200℃以上で焼成すると空洞が閉じた球状粒子になる。 As shown in FIG. 8, the particle diameter of the silica glass powder fired at 1250 ° C. is concentrated from about 60 μm to about 120 μm, and the average particle diameter D50 is about 110 μm. As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, glass particles produced at a firing temperature of 1125 ° C. are Klein-shaped spherical particles having cavities open to the outside, but when fired at 1200 ° C. or higher. Spherical particles with closed cavities.

製造した合成シリカガラス粉末をガラス瓶に入れ、ガラス瓶の底から光(赤色レーザ光)を照射して、ガラス粉末が赤色に輝く範囲(ガラス底からの高さ)を目視観察すると、図7に示すように、焼成温度が900℃以下の場合(ガラス化前)には、約19mmの範囲まで光が透過するが、焼成温度が1000℃を超えると光の透過範囲が急激に低下し、焼成温度が1250℃以上のガラス化が進行した状態では光の透過範囲は約13mmから約12mmに低下し、焼成前の約60%程度に低下する。 The manufactured synthetic silica glass powder is put into a glass bottle, irradiated with light (red laser light) from the bottom of the glass bottle, and the range where the glass powder shines red (height from the glass bottom) is visually observed, as shown in FIG. Thus, when the firing temperature is 900 ° C. or lower (before vitrification), light is transmitted to a range of about 19 mm. However, when the firing temperature exceeds 1000 ° C., the light transmission range is rapidly reduced, and the firing temperature is reduced. However, in a state where vitrification at 1250 ° C. or higher has progressed, the light transmission range is reduced from about 13 mm to about 12 mm, and is reduced to about 60% before firing.
