Abstract

Abstract A process for preparing a slender or thin ceramic green body, which comprises discharging a raw material slurry comprising a ceramic powder raw material, a binder and a solvent from a discharge outlet in a slender orthin shape, and then contacting it with a solidifying liquid composed of a liquid in which the solvent is soluble and the ceramic powder raw material and the binder are insoluble or hardly soluble so that the solvent in the slurry is dissolved and removed to form the green body.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
A process for preparing a slender or thin ceramic green body, which comprises discharging a raw material slurry comprising a ceramic powder raw material, a binder and a solvent from a discharge outlet in a slender or thin shape, and then contacting it with a solidifying liquid composed of a liquid in which the solvent is soluble and the ceramic powder raw material and the binder are insoluble or hardly soluble so that the solvent in the slurry is dissolved and removed to form the green body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 87 words
A process for preparing a slender or thin ceramic green body, which comprises discharging a raw material slurry comprising a ceramic powder raw material, a binder and a solvent from a discharge outlet in a slender or thin shape, and then contacting it with a solidifying liquid composed of a liquid in which the solvent is soluble and the ceramic powder raw material and the binder are insoluble or hardly soluble so that the solvent in the slurry is dissolved and removed to form the green body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 69 words
The process according to Claim 1, wherein the raw material slurry is composed of from 40 to 90% by weight of the ceramic powder raw material, from 2 to 30% by weight of the binder and from 8 to 60% by weight of the solvent. 3, The process according to Claim 1, wherein the ceramic powder raw material has an average particle size of not larger than 20 µm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
The process according to Claim 1, wherein the time for the contact of the raw material slurry with the solidifying agent is at least one second.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
The process according to Claim 1, wherein the temperature of the solidifying-liquid is within a range of from room temperature to 60° C .
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
The process according to Claim 1, wherein the raw material slurry is discharged into the solidifying liquid through a spinneret having a discharge outlet diameter of from 50 to 500 µm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 43 words
The process according to Claim 1, wherein the raw material slurry is discharged through a film-forming head having a slit clearance of from 50 to 500 µm so that it is spread on the surface of the solidifying liquid by the surface tension.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 52 words
The process according to Claim 1, wherein the raw material slurry is discharged from an overflow vessel having an overflow edge at a location from 1 to 10 mm above the surface of the solidifying liquid so that it is spread on the surface of the solidifying liquid by the surface tension.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 25 words
The process according to Claim 7 or 8, wherein the raw material slurry is spread with a width of from to 1 to 10 cm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 22 words
The process according to Claim 7, wherein the raw material slurry is brought in contact with the solidifying liquid while being stretched.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 59 words
The process acoording to Claim 1, wherein the discharging rate of the raw material slurry and the the withdrawing rate of the solidified green body are adjusted so that the stretching ratio of the withdrawing rate of the solidified green body to the discharging rate of the raw material slurry is within a range of from 2 to 100.
