本発明の水溶性ポリマーの製造方法は、澱粉を低分子量化して澱粉の部分分解物を得る工程(a1)、および工程(a1)で得られた澱粉の部分分解物にイオン性官能基を導入する工程(a2)を含むことを特徴とする。
本工程では、澱粉を低分子量化させ、粘度を低下させる。原料の澱粉種は特に限定されず、ワキシーコーン澱粉、タピオカ澱粉、馬鈴薯澱粉、コーンスターチ(ワキシーコーンスターチおよびハイアミローススターチを含む)、小麦澱粉、米澱粉、甘藷澱粉などが挙げられる。
本工程では、工程(a1)で得られた澱粉の部分分解物と、イオン性官能基含有化合物とを反応させる。イオン性官能基は、澱粉の部分分解物に架橋性を付与できれば特に限定されず、酸性基、塩基性基のいずれでもよい。
本発明の水溶性ポリマーの製造方法は、澱粉にイオン性官能基を導入する工程(b1)、および工程(b1)で得られたイオン性官能基を有する澱粉を低分子量化して、該イオン性官能基を有する澱粉の部分分解物を得る工程(b2)を含むことを特徴とする。
本工程では、澱粉と、イオン性官能基含有化合物とを反応させる。使用する澱粉、イオン性官能基、イオン性官能基含有化合物は、澱粉の部分分解物にイオン性官能基を導入する工程(a2)に関して前述した通りである。
本工程では、工程(b1)で得られたイオン性官能基を有する澱粉を低分子量化させ、粘度を低下させる。低分子量化する方法は特に限定されず、例えば、澱粉に酵素処理、酸処理、物理的破砕等を行う方法が挙げられる。これらの方法については、澱粉を低分子量化して澱粉の部分分解物を得る工程(a1)に関して前述した通りである。
本発明で製造される水溶性ポリマーの分子量は特に限定されないが、水系サイズ排除クロマトグラフィー分析によるプルラン換算の重量平均分子量が50万~5,000万であることがこのましく、50万~4,600万であることがより好ましく、70万~2,000万であることがさらに好ましい。前記重量平均分子量が50万未満では吸水性樹脂の保水性が低下する傾向があり、5,000万を超えると吸水性樹脂の吸水性能が低下する傾向がある。なお、水系サイズ排除クロマトグラフィー分析によるプルラン換算の重量平均分子量は、水系サイズ排除クロマトグラフィーにおいて分子量が既知のプルランにより作成した分子量と溶出時間の較正曲線に基づいて求めることができる。
本発明の吸水性樹脂の製造方法は、前記製造方法により水溶性ポリマーを製造する工程(c1)、水溶性ポリマーに導入されたイオン性官能基を中和する工程(c2)、および、水溶性ポリマー同士を架橋させる工程(c3)を含むことを特徴とする。
本工程では、澱粉部分分解物に付加されるイオン性官能基の塩を中和する。中和により、塩を形成していたイオン性官能基の一部が遊離のイオン性官能基に変換される。中和はイオン性官能基の塩の一部に対して行うことが好ましい。例えば、上述したイオン性官能基含有化合物としてモノクロロ酢酸を用い、アルカリ剤として水酸化ナトリウムを用いた場合、澱粉部分分解物にカルボキシル基のナトリウム塩が付加される。これに酸を添加することにより、一部のカルボキシル基が遊離のカルボン酸に変換される。
本工程では、水溶性ポリマー同士を架橋させる。ここで形成される架橋は、吸水性樹脂の内部架橋に該当する。架橋は、架橋剤を用いることなく、例えば水溶性ポリマーを含水条件で加熱乾燥する方法により形成できる。加熱乾燥を開始する時点での水溶性ポリマーは、水溶液であっても良いし、水分が1重量%以上である含水溶媒を含んだウェット粉末であっても良い。含水溶媒を含んだウェット粉末を乾燥させる場合、その乾燥開始時のウェット粉末のウェット率は、1~85重量%が好ましく、20~80重量%がより好ましく、55~75重量%がさらに好ましい。なお、ここでいうウェット率とは、水と親水性溶媒との合計量の、ウェット粉末中の割合のことである。加熱時の温度は50~150℃が好ましく、60~130℃がより好ましい。乾燥方法は特に限定されず、ドラムドライヤー、スプレードライヤー、ナウターミキサー等を用いて行うことができる。
上述した方法により製造される吸水性樹脂の無加圧下の吸水倍率は、吸水性樹脂に荷重をかけないときの生理食塩水またはイオン交換水の吸収性を、実施例に記載の方法で測定して求められる。吸水性樹脂は、固形物の状態で、イオン交換水の無加圧下吸水倍率が100~400g/gであることが好ましく、120~350g/gであることがより好ましい。また、生理食塩水の無加圧下吸水倍率が20~70g/gであることが好ましく、30~65g/gであることがより好ましい。
本発明の吸水性樹脂の分解方法は、前記製造方法により得られる吸水性樹脂をアルカリ処理する工程を含むことを特徴とする。アルカリ処理する工程では、吸水性樹脂を、好ましくはpH9以上、より好ましくはpH10以上の条件に置く。アルカリ処理により、吸水性樹脂の架橋構造やグルコシド結合が開裂して水溶性ポリマーに分解され、廃棄時の環境負荷を低減できる。
前述した吸水性樹脂により、様々な物品を製造することができる。物品としては、紙おむつ、生理用品、失禁用パッド、携帯用トイレ、汚物処理袋、動物用屎尿処理剤、医療用手当材、手術用シート、歯科用廃液処理剤、医療廃血液凝固剤、創傷被覆材、保湿剤などの衛生用品や医療用品、土壌保水剤、育苗シート、種子コーティング、肥料の徐放剤、農薬・肥料の崩壊助剤、砂漠緑化資材、農業用フィルム、鮮度保持剤などの農業・園芸用品、土壌改質剤、汚泥固化剤、止水材などの土木用材料のほか、保冷剤、増粘剤、消臭剤、食品用ドリップ吸収剤、ペットシート、使い捨てカイロ、電池用ゲル化剤、結露防止シート、パッキング剤、人工雪などの物品が挙げられる。衛生用品の例として、バックシート、吸収体、及びトップシートがこの順に積層された積層体が挙げられる。前記吸収体は本発明の吸水性樹脂を含み、必要に応じて、さらに吸水紙やパルプを含んでいてもよい。物品の具体的な製造方法は特に限定されず、各物品について周知の方法により製造できる。

(7-1)水溶性ポリマーの全酸価
ここでは、酸性基としてカルボキシメチル基を有する水溶性ポリマーの全酸価測定方法を説明する。100mlビーカーに、水溶性ポリマー約0.3gを精秤し、40mlのイオン交換水で溶解させた。この水溶液を、ガラス電極(京都電子工業株式会社製C-171)を備えた電位差滴定装置(京都電子工業株式会社製AT-610)にセットした。試料が全てナトリウム塩の場合は、この段階で、電位は概ね30mV以下を示すので、電位が320mV以上となるまで、1N塩酸を添加し、水溶性ポリマー中のカルボン酸基を全てフリー酸の状態とする(塩酸過剰の状態となる)。電位が320mV以上になっていることを確認し、0.1N NaOH水溶液で中和滴定を行った。本滴定では、変曲点が2つ検出され、第一の変曲点が220mV付近に、第二の変曲点が0~-30mV付近に検出される。前者は試料中の過剰の塩酸の中和点であり、後者は水溶性ポリマー中のカルボン酸の中和点である。従って、全酸価は下記式1により算出される。
全酸価(mgKOH/g)=[{(Vb-Va)×0.1×fa×56.11}÷Sa]/(1-wr) (式1)
ここで、Vaは第一変曲点までに消費された0.1N NaOHの容量(ml)、Vbは第二変曲点までに消費された0.1N NaOHの容量(ml)、faは、0.1N NaOHの力価、Saは試料採取量である。wrは、後述する方法で測定した水溶性ポリマーのウェット率である。
上記全酸価の値を用いて、下記式2で算出する。
エーテル化度=(162×TAV)÷(56100-80×TAV)(式2)
ここで、TAVは水溶性ポリマーの全酸価(単位 mgKOH/g)である。
フリー酸価は、水溶性ポリマーの架橋を酸処理によって行った場合に定義する酸価である。実施例では酸処理後に引き続いて架橋ポリマーを製造しているため、滴定による直接的な定量は困難であるため、次の計算で算出される値をフリー酸価として定義する。酸処理では、水溶性ポリマーのカルボン酸よりも低いpKaを有する酸で処理するため、実質的には、酸処理時に添加した酸の量がフリー酸価に等しい。このため、フリー酸価を下記式3で算出する。
フリー酸価(mgKOH/g)=(Vc×N×fb×56.11)÷Sb (式3)
ここで、Vcは酸処理に使用した酸水溶液の容量(ml)、Nは酸水溶液の規定度、fbは酸水溶液の力価、Sbは、酸処理に仕込んだ水溶性ポリマーの重量(純分)である。
ウェット率とは、ハロゲン水分計を用いて、乾燥温度130℃で試料を乾燥させた時の試料初期重量に対する、重量減少の割合(%)のことを言う。本実施例においては、水溶性ポリマー0.5~1.0gをメトラー・トレド株式会社製ハロゲン水分計 HC103にセットし、乾燥温度130℃、スイッチオフ基準 1mg/50秒、%MCモード(MC値=(試料初期重量―乾燥重量)÷試料初期重量×100が表示されるモード)にて測定した。表示されたMC値をウェット率とした。
(8-1)無加圧下吸水倍率(生理食塩水)
目開き63μm(JIS Z8801-1:2006)のナイロン網で作製したティーバッグ(縦20cm、横10cm)に測定試料1.0gを入れ、生理食塩水(食塩濃度0.9重量%)1,000ml中に無撹拌下で、3時間浸漬した後、10分間吊るして水切りした。ティーバッグを含めた重量(h1)を測定し次式から保水量を求めた。なお、使用した生理食塩水、及び測定雰囲気の温度は25℃±2℃であった。
FSC(g/g)=(h1)-(h2)
なお、(h2)は、測定試料の無い場合について上記と同様の操作により計測したティーバッグの重量である。ここで、FSCとは、Free Swell Capacityの略称であり、自由膨潤倍率を意味するもので、無加圧下吸水倍率を指す。
ティーバッグに測定試料0.2gを入れ、生理食塩水に代えてイオン交換水を用いた以外は、無加圧下吸水倍率(生理食塩水)と同様にして浸漬後のティーバッグを含めた重量(h1´)を測定し次式から保水量を求めた。なお、(h2´)は、測定試料の無い場合について上記と同様の操作により計測したティーバッグの重量である。
FSC(g/g)={(h1´)-(h2´)}/0.2
上述した無加圧下吸水倍率の測定後、ティーバッグごと、遠心分離器に設置し、150Gで90秒間遠心脱水して余剰の液体成分を取り除き、ティーバックを含めた重量(h3)を測定し次式から保水量を求めた。
CRC(g/g)=(h3)-(h4)
なお、(h4)は、測定試料のない場合について上記と同様の操作により計測したティーバッグの重量である。ここでCRCとは、Centrifuge Retention Capacityの略称であり、遠心分離保持容量を意味し、保水率を指す。
上述した無加圧下吸水倍率の測定後、ティーバッグごと、遠心分離器に設置し、150Gで90秒間遠心脱水して余剰の液体成分を取り除き、ティーバックを含めた重量(h3´)を測定し次式から保水量を求めた。
CRC(g/g)={(h3´)-(h4´)}/0.2
なお、(h4´)は、測定試料のない場合について上記と同様の操作により計測したティーバッグの重量である。
200mlビーカーに生理食塩水での保水率試験を実施した後の吸水ゲル約5gを投入し、その上から48.8%NaOH水溶液を数滴添加する。その後、ステンレス製の薬さじで攪拌し、混合物をビーカーの底に薄く広げ、溶解の状態を目視で確認した。ゲル状態が失われ、不溶物が無く透明な溶液となった場合を「溶解」、ゲル状態を保持しているか部分的にでも不溶物が残存した場合を「不溶」として評価した。
製造例35~53、製造例56、比較製造例1~2で得られた各吸水性樹脂について、吸水性能、アルカリ分解性を測定した。その結果を表4に示す。
