Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a favorable reflection-preventive layer in high yield on a glass surface by treating the surface of a glass containing a specified proportion of lead with a weak acid solution at a specified temperature to perform a mild, and uniform reaction followed by dehydration through heating. CONSTITUTION:The surface of a lead glass containing 25-50wt.% of PbO is treated with a weak acid (acetic acid) solution at >=60 deg.C to perform a mild and uniform reaction. Thence, the surface is washed, heated and dehydrated to effect, finally, formation of hydrated silicic acid layer with a thickness of a quarter wavelength. Thus, a favorable reflection-preventive layer can be formed in high yield on the glass surface.

[Prior Art] One of the conventional methods for applying antireflection treatment to a glass surface is an acid treatment method in which glass is immersed in an acid solution. When glass is treated with acid, Na", K", and P in the glass are
An ion exchange reaction occurs in which cations such as ``b'' replace ``■'' in the acid solution, and a hydrated silicic acid layer is formed on the glass surface. The cations eluted from the glass turn into salts and adhere to the glass surface, forming a protective film and interfering with the progress of the ion exchange reaction. Therefore, a nitric acid solution, in which these salts have a high solubility, is usually used as the acid solution. There is. Furthermore, since the hydrated silicic acid layer is unstable, it is heated and dehydrated to form a robust anhydrous silicic acid layer to prevent deterioration of the layer due to changes over time.

When applying anti-reflection treatment to lead glass containing 25 to 50% lead, conventional methods cause uneven erosion on the glass surface.
It was difficult to obtain a good antireflection layer because of the non-uniform interference color.

It is also known that if a thin film having a value close to the square root of the refractive index of the glass is formed on the glass surface to a thickness of 1/4λ (λ represents the wavelength), the reflectance at the wavelength λ will be reduced. Therefore, in order to form a good antireflection layer on the glass surface, it is necessary to set the processing conditions so that the thickness thereof becomes 1/4λ. However, when a nitric acid solution is used on lead glass, which has poor acid resistance, the processing conditions under which the optimum anti-reflection layer thickness of 1/4λ can be obtained are extremely limited, and therefore it is difficult to set the processing conditions on an industrial scale. It becomes difficult and the yield becomes significantly worse.

The occurrence of uneven corrosion due to acid treatment is thought to be due to differences in reaction rates caused by minute differences in the concentration of acid solutions on the glass surface, resulting in local changes in film thickness. Since the present invention uses a weak acid solution at a temperature of 60°C or higher, the reaction proceeds more slowly than when nitric acid is used, and the possibility of a difference in reaction rate occurring on the glass surface is extremely small. There is no.

In addition, on the glass surface, reactions proceed due to acid droplets adhering to the surface, cleaning water, and moisture in the air, not only during acid treatment by immersing the glass in an acid solution, but also after it is removed from the acid solution tank. , the thickness of the Eiwa silicate layer changes. This reaction continues until the glass surface after acid treatment is washed and heated to dehydrate to form an anhydrous silicic acid layer. Therefore, the treatment conditions, especially acid It is important to set the processing time. In the present invention, as a result of the gradual reaction between the glass and the acid solution, it becomes easy to set the acid treatment time on an industrial scale. This is particularly useful for processing large blocks of lead glass such as radiation shielding glass. In other words, in the case of such a large lead glass block, it takes a considerable amount of time to pull it out of the acid solution bath and form an anhydrous silicic acid layer on the surface, but since the reaction proceeds at a slow rate, the reflection Changes in the thickness of the protective shoe are small, and therefore the acid treatment time can be easily set.

As mentioned above, it is preferable that the reaction rate between the glass and the acid solution be slow, and for this reason, a method of treating with an extremely dilute nitric acid solution may be considered; When performing antireflection treatment on an industrial scale, it is extremely difficult to control the concentration, etc. Therefore, the present invention uses a weak acid solution, but if a weak acid solution at room temperature is used for lead glass containing 25 to 50% by weight of PbO, it will take an extremely long time to process, and the work efficiency will be significantly reduced. The temperature of the weak acid solution is raised to Bθ° C. or above, and the reaction rate is increased to such an extent that setting the acid treatment time is not difficult.

In addition, the present invention prefers acetic acid solution as a weak acid solution because it is inexpensive and easily available, has extremely low metal corrosion effect, and is suitable for use in acid solution tanks and metal fittings for transporting glass to be processed (both are mainly made of stainless steel). This is because there is no risk of floating objects such as gold rust occurring in the liquid because it does not corrode the metal ( For these reasons, acetic acid solution is used, but in addition to this, citric acid solution, oxalic acid solution,
It is possible to use ammonium nitrate solution and the like.

A raw material batch prepared to give 5% glass was put into a quartz crucible, melted at about 1200°C for 4 hours, and then poured into a mold to form a plate. Next, the slowly cooled plate-shaped molded product was cut into a size of 30×30×10+am, and both surfaces thereof were optically polished to obtain a sample. The sample thus obtained was subjected to the following antireflection treatment in order to reduce reflectance near sodium light (589.3 nm), which is commonly used inside facilities that handle radioactive materials. First, the obtained sample was subjected to acid treatment by immersing it in a 1/10 normal acetic acid solution at 80°C or a 1/1O normal nitric acid solution at BO°C. Next, the acid-treated sample was thoroughly rinsed with tap water at the same temperature as the acid solution, and then water droplets on the surface were wiped off.

In addition, when comparing the surface conditions of sample (a) immersed in an acetic acid solution for 15 hours and sample (b) immersed in a nitric acid solution for 1 hour, it was found that the surface condition of the sample (b) immersed in a nitric acid solution was due to uneven erosion. While a homogeneous interference color was observed, sample (a) immersed in the acetic acid solution showed no erosion unevenness at all, and the surface uniformly exhibited a dark purple color. sodium light 17
When the film is formed to a thickness of 4, the reflected light is quenched due to the most interference with yellow-green, and the appearance is purple as its complementary color. It can be seen that the thickness is equivalent to 174 mm of sodium light.
