Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing hollow glass microspheres in the diameter range of 0.01 mm to 0.1 mm of molten glass, the u. a. can be used as a filler for lightweight materials or as an ingredient of paints, paints and plasters.
- micromassiv glass beads in the diameter range up to 0.015 mm from DE 10 2008 025 767 A1 or DE 197 21 571 A1, according to which molten glass strands are dispersed by means of a cutting wheel.
- WO 2015/1 10621 A1 describes a comparable process for the production of hollow glass spheres.
- very high cutting wheel speeds are required, whereby technical limits are encountered in the cutting wheel bearing (rough running) and cooling (wind formation). Consequently, hollow glass microspheres in the desired diameter range can not be produced by this method.
- DD 261 592 A1 describes a process for the production of micromassive glass spheres in the diameter range from 0.040 mm to 0.080 mm from molten high-index glass.
- the molten glass passes in the form of a glass strand of about 4 mm to 6 mm diameter from a platinum melting tank and is with a cold high-pressure air jet at a speed of 100 ms "1 to 300 ms " 1 and a pressure of 300 kPa to 700 kPa in glass particles atomized.
- the disadvantage is that arise during the sputtering of soda-lime glasses glass fibers instead of the desired glass particles.
- DE 10 2007 002 904 A1 discloses a method for producing hollow glass beads from finely ground soda lime glass and / or borosilicate glass by means of a heat transfer process (for example in a shaft furnace).
- a heat transfer process for example in a shaft furnace.
- the temperature rising in accordance with the method causes glass spheres to form due to the surface tension.
- the high temperature causes the outgassing of an added propellant.
- Disadvantages are the costly crushing of the glass and the lack of control of the hollow ball size, which is why a subsequent classification is required.
- molten glass which runs out of a nozzle as a strand, is dispersed by an intermittently acting jet of hot air into glass particles which assume spherical shape during the subsequent free fall.
- the intermittent jet of hot air is caused by a perforated rotating disc.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for producing hollow glass microspheres, which make it possible, the hollow glass microspheres in Diameter range from 0.01 mm to 0, 1 mm in a continuous process directly from molten glass to avoid glass fiber formation.
- the scattering width of the diameter of the hollow spheres produced according to the method should be smaller compared to currently known production methods.
- the preparation of the hollow glass microspheres by sputtering a molten glass strand by means of a hot gas to glass particles, wherein the glass particles during a subsequent atomization through a heated Rondier- / expansion channel to Mikroromassivglas- balls balls and subsequently expand this to micro hollow glass spheres.
- the glass is melted with a predetermined composition, wherein the molten glass contains at least one in the range of 1 100 ° C to 1500 ° C gaseous substance in dissolved form.
- the melting device In the bottom region of the melting device there is a discharge opening, through which the glass melt emerges in the form of one or more glass strands.
- a nozzle plate with a plurality of nozzles designed as conical passage openings is arranged on or within the discharge opening, so that a plurality of glass strands spaced apart from one another are produced on exit of the glass melt from the melting apparatus.
- the nozzle plate is preferably heated directly electrically.
- the molten glass strand (s) are atomized to glass particles after leaving the melting device, the resulting glass particles having a more or less irregular shape.
- the hot gas flow is oriented at right angles to the glass strand (s).
- the glass particles are then blown directly into the immediately adjacent, flow-oriented Rondier / Expansi- onskanal.
- the glass particles (ramming) of the glass particles into micromassiv glass spheres takes place, ie, during heating, the glass particles due to the surface tension of spherical shape or transform into spheres.
- the Rondier- / expansion channel is operated by the hot gas and possibly by additional heaters in the temperature range of usually 1 100 ° C to 1500 ° C. After exiting the Rondier- / expansion channel, the hollow glass microspheres are cooled by means of cooling air and collected in solid form.
- One of the advantages of the invention is that the formation of glass threads is avoided by the high gas velocity and the high gas temperature of the hot gas flowing from the high-pressure hot gas nozzle onto the glass strand (s).
- the process makes it possible to produce high-quality hollow glass microspheres inexpensively and in large quantities per unit of time during continuous process control. Expensive process steps, such as the mechanical comminution of cold glass and the costly heating to Rondieren, are unnecessary.
- the glass strands have a diameter of 0.5 mm to 1, 5 mm at the outlet from the melting device.
- the viscosity of the glass melt emerging as glass strand is preferably 0.5 dPa-s to 1.5 dPa s.
- the setting of this viscosity interval can be carried out by controlling the melt temperature at a given chemical composition of the glass melt.
- the glass strand (s) on exiting the reflow apparatus are flown through the hot gas at a gas velocity in the range of 300 ms -1 to 1500 ms -1 , preferably 500 ms -1 to 1000 ms -1 suitably adjusted to a value of between 1500 ° C. and 2000 ° C.
- Lime-soda glasses or borosilicate glasses are preferably used for the process according to the invention
