Abstract

ABSTRACT
A process for the production of a carbon dioxide absorbing material based on calcium hydroxide is disclosed. The process comprises precipitating calcium hydroxide from an aqueous solution of a calcium salt with an alkali hydroxide. The pre-cipitated product is filtered off, washed with water, dried and granulated. The material produced in this process has a very high and reproducible ability of binding carbon dioxide and can be advantageously used in breathing apparatuses.

Description

~F,~ 3~

This application relates to carbon dioxide absorbing materials. More particularly, the application relates to carbon dioxide absorbing materials based on calcium hydroxide.
In oxygen rebreathing apparatuses for gas masks and breathing apparatuses and in anaesthetic machines that are used in medicine, exhaled carbon dioxide is removed from the respira-tion cycle by absorption materials based on calcium hydroxide. As a rule, these absorption materials are produced by a process in which calcium oxide (quick lime) is slaked with water, the result-ing calcium hydroxide is stirred in excess water to form a highly viscous slurry, and then granulated in a suitable apparatus. The ii -granulated, slaked lime is then brought to a water content of approximately 16% by drying. In this form, it is used in breathing apparatuses (German Patent 893 752).
The process described heretofore it not sufficiently reproducible for those applications in which the respiration lime must have a very high reactivity to bind CO2, combined with good mechanical strength of the grains of lime. The reason for this is the very complex chemical process that takes place during the reaction of calcium oxide with water. The structure of the quick lime depends on the calcining temperature. Limestone that is calcined at temperatures between 900C and 1000C produces a loose, very reactive calcium oxide. At higher calcining temperatures t 1100C to 1300C, the resulting products are extremely hard and far less reactive, up to the point of "dead" lime that, for all practicaI purposes, can no longer be slaked. The qualities or ''',,''' ' ' ': ` '''' 2~n~73l grades of calcium oxide that are currently on the market are classified roughly into soft calcined lime ~calcining temperatures 900-1000C) and hard calcined lime (1100-1200C). In fact, all available grades of lime are mixtures of soft and hard calcined lime in varying proportions. This means that very frequently the quenching behavioux of the lime also changes, in that the quenching time is different and the temperatures of the quenched masses are elevated to various extents by the liberated reaction heat. However, the structure of the calcium hydroxide that is formed is greatly dependent on the parameters of the quenching reaction, in that a reaction that takes place quickly and at a high temperature forms particle sizes and structures that differ from those that are formed during slow reaction that takes place at lower temperatures. Finally, the ability of the particular absorption material to bind CO2 is determined by the conditions of the quenching reaction, so that it is hardly possible to produce by this method materials having a very high and reproducible bind-ing ability~
It is an object of the present invention to avoid the uncertainty of the quenching reaction and to produce highly reac-tive calcium hydroxide by a process having better reproducibility.
This qbject may be achieved by a process in which cal-caium salts are converted with alkali hydroxides in an aqueous solution and the calcium hydroxide that is precipitated is filtered off, dried, and granulated.
Thus,the present invention provides a process for the ~, .

production of a carbon dioxide absorbing material based on calcium hydroxide, which process comprises treating a water soluble calcium salt in aqueous solution with an alkali hydroxide, separat-ing the precipitated calcium hydroxide, drying the separated material and granulating the dry product. ;-The advantages of the production process according to the present invention are such that, before precipitation, the calcium is present in the aqueous solution as an ion, so that a constantly reproducible and even distribution is ensured at a con-stant concentration. No noteworthy amounts of reaction heat are generated during the precipitation reaction. Thus, the tempera- -~
ture of the precipitation bath can be kept constant very easily.
Further precipitation parameters such as stirring speed, introduc-tion of the calcium salt solution into the alkali hydroxide solution, or vice versa, excessive salt solution or alkali hydroxide solution, can also be kept constant. This means that one can produce a calcium hydroxide with reproducible chemical and mechanical properties by way of precipitation from an aqueous solution.
The conventional quenching procedure is preferably carried out at temperatures from 70C to 80C; in contrast to this, the new process is carried out at room temperature. This results in a further advantage of considerable energy savings.
Calcium hydroxide produced by the conventional slaking method has an uneven grain distribution with grain sizes of up to 0.1 mm. There are frequent inclusions of calcium oxide in the : . .. , . . . , .: , : .

grains.
In contrast to this, the calcium hydroxide that is produced by the precipitation process according to the present invention is characterized by an even grain distribution, with grain sizes that are considerably less than 1 ~m. There are no inclusions of calcium oxide. During microscopic examination of a sample of calcium hydroxide, the structural differences set out heretofore can be plainly seen.
In principle, the precipitation reaction can be car-ried out using any water soluble calcium salt and any strong base.
When considered from the viewpoints of low raw mater-ial prices, high reaction speeds, high reaction yields, and the lowest possible toxicity of the chemicals involved, only calcium chloride and calcium nitrate as water soluble calcium salts and sodium, hydroxide and potassium hydroxide as strong bases can be considered for economic use. Calcium nitrate and potassium hydro-xide are preferred.
The ratio of the concentrations of calcium salt and alkali hydroxide in the solution and the temperature of the solu-tion have a decisive efect on the crystal structure and the crystal size of the calcium hydroxide that is precipitated. This once again affects the adsorption and strength properties of the finished respiration lime granulate.
It is also possible to deliberately modify the proper-ties of the respiration lime, either by the temperature of the solution during the precipitation of the calcium hydroxide or by 2~'73~

variation of the concentrations of the starting substances. Thus, the precipitation can be effected at a precise stoichiometric ratio, with an excess of alkali hydroxide, or with an excess of calcium salt. Furthermore, either the calcium salt solution can be added to the alkali hydroxide solution or, vice versa, the alkali hydroxide solution can be added to the calcium salt solution.
These different process variants lead to different local concen-tration conditions during the precipitation reaction and thereby affect the properties of the calcium hydroxide that is formed.
In order to free the precipitated calcium hydroxide from residues of the starting substances, it is filtered and washed until the content of an alkali hydroxide and/or salts falls below 6~. The residues content above 6~ affects negatively the adsorp-tion capacity of the respiration lime.
The calcium hydroxide that is washed out is then dried to the point that it can be granulated in the known manner in a paste granulator. The granulated calcium hydroxide is then brought to a water content of 15-20%, and can be used in this form as respiration lime.
The production process is explained in greater detail in the following example:
500 g,of calcium chloride and 600 g of potassium hydroxide are each dissolved in 4 1 of water and the temperature of the solutions is brought to 20C. The calcium hydroxide solution is added slowly to the potassium hydroxide solution under moderate stirring. The precipitate that forms is drawn off with 5 _ ,"' ' ;' :, ',, ".,; , , :' .

a filter press and gently washed until the wash water contains only very small quantities of potassium chloride. The filter cake is granulated in a paste granulator to obtain a grain size of 4-5 mm and is then dried to a water content of 16%. The product that is obtained displays extremely good binding ability for C02 and can also be used to absorb C02 in oxygen rebreathing apparatuses under extreme conditions.
