<Technical Field> The present invention relates to surface-treated calcium carbonate used as a filler in the rubber industry, and particularly to reinforcing calcium carbonate that can be used as a raw material for rubber with high physical properties. <Prior art> Calcium carbonate, which is traditionally produced by blowing carbon dioxide into milk of lime and filtering, drying, and pulverizing the resulting precipitate, is called precipitated calcium carbonate (light calcium carbonate), and is used in pigments, paints, paper manufacturing, and toothpaste. It is used in powders, etc., and is especially widely used as an inexpensive filler in the rubber industry. However, in general, when increasing the amount of light calcium carbonate as a rubber compounding agent, there are drawbacks such as a decrease in the tensile strength and stress of the rubber, and a slow vulcanization rate. Although the surface is coated with resin acids such as fatty acids and rosin acids, the improvement effect cannot be expected to be that great. High quality light calcium carbonate is desired. On the other hand, the serum discharged when manufacturing natural rubber such as RSS (ribbed smoked sheets) from natural rubber latex is an industrial waste and poses a pollution problem, so it would be desirable if it could be used effectively. <Object of the Invention> The object of the present invention is to improve the drawbacks of the above-mentioned reinforcing light calcium carbonate, and to provide a reinforcing calcium carbonate which has greater reinforcing properties than conventional ones and can produce rubber with high physical properties. be. <Structure of the Invention> The present invention provides a reinforcing calcium carbonate characterized in that light calcium carbonate particles are surface-coated with components in serum obtained by substantially removing the rubber content from natural rubber latex. Here, the content of the component in the serum is 0.5 to
Preferably, the reinforcing calcium carbonate is 10wt%. In addition, the components in the serum have an average particle size of 10 to
Preferably it is a reinforcing calcium carbonate which is a 100μ powder. The present invention will be explained in more detail below. Light calcium carbonate is produced as follows. After crushing the limestone, it is fired to make quicklime.
This is hydrated with water or steam to produce slaked lime, and a milky suspension (milk of lime) in which fine powder of slaked lime is dispersed in water is obtained. The precipitate formed by blowing carbon dioxide gas into milk of lime is filtered, dried, and crushed to produce light calcium carbonate. H 2 O CO 2 ↓ ↓ CaCO 3 ―→CaO―→Ca(OH) 2 ―→CaCO 3 (Heavy calcium carbonate) (Light calcium carbonate) Conventional reinforcing calcium carbonate is produced by blowing carbon dioxide gas into milk of lime. In this process, resin acids such as rosin acid, fatty acids, etc. are added to milk of lime for surface treatment. Rosin acids and fatty acids are not only expensive, but also do not have sufficient reinforcing effects. The inventor found that, instead of using expensive rosin acid, etc., coating light calcium carbonate with a component of serum obtained by substantially removing the rubber content from conventionally discarded natural rubber latex produced a more reinforcing effect. This led to the present invention. In the present invention, a reinforcing calcium carbonate is obtained by coating light calcium carbonate with serum obtained from natural rubber latex or a substance obtained from the serum. One example of the components of natural rubber latex is shown in Table 1.

[Table] This natural rubber latex from which rubber hydrocarbons have been removed is called serum, and in general, industrially, serum usually contains a very small amount of rubber. The components of the serum vary depending on the components of the natural rubber latex and cannot be strictly limited, but α
- Proteins such as globulin and hevein, fatty acids,
Amino acids, sugar, water, K, Mg, Cu, Fe, Na,
Ash (inorganic components) such as Ca and P and other trace components. Serum contains approximately 0.5 wt% rubber and approximately 2.0 to 5.0 wt% non-rubber. This may be used after removing the rubber component by centrifugation or the like. In the present invention, slaked lime is directly dispersed and suspended in serum or concentrated serum, and the non-gum content in the serum or concentrated serum is adsorbed on precipitated light calcium carbonate by blowing carbon dioxide gas, filtered, and dried. Coating may be performed using a method such as drying. Alternatively, non-rubber components may be separated from the serum obtained from natural rubber latex by a method such as freeze-freeze drying or solvent extraction, and this may be added to the milk of lime. In particular, it is more preferable to add the components in the serum to the milk of lime in the form of a powder with an average particle size of 10 to 100 μ, which can be obtained as follows, because the process becomes easier. The rubber component of natural rubber latex is coagulated and removed with formic acid, etc., the remaining serum is concentrated, and then dried at 150° to 250° using a nozzle-type or disk-type spray dryer.
It is supplied in the form of microdroplets in a closed container in a high-temperature atmosphere at ℃, and water is evaporated to form a powder with an average particle size of 10 to 100μ. If the powder is less than 10μ, it absorbs moisture and is likely to re-solidify, resulting in a lump-like powder that is not atomized. If it exceeds 100μ, it becomes difficult to dissolve in water or solvent. Fine particles of 10 to 100 microns easily dissolve in milk of lime, so they are mixed homogeneously and evenly adhere to the surface of calcium carbonate particles, making it possible to obtain homogeneous reinforcing calcium carbonate. The amount to be added to the milk of lime is experimentally determined in advance so as to obtain a content of 0.5 to 10 wt% on the surface of the light calcium carbonate particles. As described above, any method may be used to cover the surface of the components in the natural rubber latex serum onto the light calcium carbonate particles, but the content is preferably 0.5 to 10 wt% for the reinforcing calcium carbonate product.
If the content is less than 0.5 wt%, the effects of the present invention cannot be obtained when reinforcing calcium carbonate is used as a rubber reinforcing agent. This is because if it exceeds 10 wt%, the calcium carbonate as a product tends to aggregate, and the reinforcing effect of calcium carbonate becomes weaker. <Example> Example Serum from which the rubber content was substantially removed from natural rubber latex (non-rubber component concentration 4.4%, apparent viscosity
4.2cp), Okawara Kakoki with a rotation speed of 28000r.pm
The mixture was dried and pulverized using an L-12 type disc dryer manufactured by Co., Ltd. at an inlet temperature of 170°C and an outlet temperature of 60°C. The fine powder had an average particle size of 20 to 30 microns spherical, a moisture content of 3.8%, and a particle color of pale yellow to white, and was in a good powder state. Table 2 shows the analysis results of the protein amino acids in this fine powder by the Japan Food Research Center. 25 g of the above fine powder was placed in milk of lime 1 having a concentration of 40 wt% together with CO 2 gas to obtain reinforcing calcium carbonate of the present invention. The content of non-rubber components in calcium carbonate was 2wt%. 50g of the above fine powder
was placed in milk of lime 1 with a concentration of 40 wt% together with CO 2 gas to obtain calcium carbonate with a non-rubber component content of 4 wt%. In the same manner, 100 g of fine powder was placed in milk of lime 1 having a concentration of 40 wt% together with CO 2 gas to obtain a calcium carbonate with a non-rubber component content of 8 wt%. In addition, by the same operation, the non-rubber component content was 1wt%.
of calcium carbonate was also obtained.

[Table] Using the above-mentioned reinforcing calcium carbonate as a reinforcing agent, the composition shown in Table 3 was blended in the usual manner, mixed,
A rubber composition was prepared by kneading. Comparative Example As a comparison, as shown in Table 3, light calcium carbonate (Comparative Example 1) and commercially available rosin acid coating reinforcing calcium carbonate (Comparative Example 2) were used as reinforcing agents, and the same method as in the example was used except for the reinforcing agent. A rubber composition was prepared by blending, mixing and kneading in the same manner as the composition. The following measurements were performed on the rubber compositions of the above examples and comparative examples. The results are shown in Table 4. Physical properties of unvulcanized rubber 1) Scorch time 2) Vulcanization rate 3) Mooney viscosity Next, the following measurements were performed on the rubber composition after vulcanization at 148°C for 30 minutes. The results are shown in Table 4. Vulcanized rubber physical properties 1) Tensile strength (Kg/cm 2 ) 2) Elongation (%) 3) 300% tensile stress (Kg/cm 2 ) 4) Hardness (JIS) From Tables 3 and 4, it can be seen that the Rubber compositions using reinforcing calcium carbonate as a reinforcing agent have improved (shorter) scorch times and increased vulcanization rates. It can be seen that the Mooney viscosity is lower and processability is easier.

[Table] <Effects of the Invention> In the reinforcing calcium carbonate of the present invention, light calcium carbonate particles are surface-coated with components in the serum from which the rubber content has been substantially removed from the natural rubber latex serum. When used as a reinforcing agent, it has the following effects compared to the case where reinforcing calcium carbonate coated with a conventional resin acid or the like is used as a reinforcing agent. The effect of improving rubber physical properties such as tensile strength and 300% tensile stress is significant. Scorch time delay is suppressed. The delay in vulcanization speed is suppressed. Mooney viscosity is lower, making processing such as mixing easier. In addition, the serous fluid discharged when manufacturing natural rubber such as RSS (ribbed smoked sheet) from conventional natural rubber latex can be effectively used, solving pollution problems.
