2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the demand for safety in the event of fire, changes in lifestyles, and the rising costs of wood have been accompanied by the spread of apartment buildings that are concrete structures. They are no longer used, and finishing materials are directly applied to concrete walls, such as paint finishing and cloth upholstery, and inexpensive and fire-resistant inorganic building materials such as gypsum board have come to be used frequently. Timber absorbs moisture in the air at high humidity to reduce humidity, and releases moisture at low humidity to suppress drying. . But,
Concrete finishing and inorganic building materials have poor moisture absorption and desorption properties, and have problems such as dew condensation on the wall surface, wetting and spotting due to dew condensation, and contamination by mold.

In order to solve this problem, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-109244 discloses that a highly activated zeolite powder, cement and a water-soluble resin curing agent, and a reinforcing material such as fiber are wet-kneaded. Humidity-controllable building materials that have been compression-molded to arbitrary properties have been proposed. However, although this moisture-regulating building material has excellent moisture absorption and desorption properties, it is fragile and can be produced only in small sizes.Because cement is used as a binder, post-curing is required, and time is required for production. The cost of the product is high. Therefore, when this is constructed as a wall of a building or the like, there is a problem that it is slightly heavy and difficult to construct. In addition, since this moisture-regulating building material is also a material with high moisture permeability, glass wool,
When used as a wall surface incorporating a heat insulating material such as rock wool, there is also a disadvantage that moisture in the room permeates and causes condensation on the heat insulating material.

[0004] As this kind of hygroscopic material, various materials such as zeolite, calcium silicate hydrate, diatomaceous earth, and silica gel are used. However, although the zeolite-based material is excellent in hygroscopicity, it is not always suitable for use as a hygroscopic building material because of its poor hygroscopicity. In addition, calcium silicate hydrate and diatomaceous earth materials have excellent humidity control and dew-proofing properties in a short period of time, but their moisture absorption becomes saturated when prolonged periods of high humidity such as during the rainy season. Reaches and loses humidity control and dew-proof properties. On the other hand, a silica gel material used as a granular material or a powder material has much better moisture absorption / release properties than the above materials, but is expensive and has limitations in use. As described above, the conventional hygroscopic materials have not been satisfactory in both performance and price.

0.8 g / cm 3 is good. If the bulk density is less than 0.1 g / cm 3 , the required strength physical properties cannot be obtained, and
If it exceeds 3 , the lightness is impaired. When pearlite having a low bulk density (about 0.1 g / cm 3 ) is used as the main material amorphous silica, an extremely lightweight hygroscopic material can be manufactured.
In addition, even with such a lightweight pearlite, a high-density granular moisture-absorbing / desorbing material is manufactured by compressing a wet sand-like raw material mixture in advance by heating and dehydrating after heating, or by heating and dehydrating under compression. It is possible.

The moisture absorption / release rate of the particulate moisture absorption / release material of the present invention needs to be 5% by weight or more. If the moisture absorption / desorption rate is lower than 5% by weight, the anti-dew property is reduced. The moisture absorption / desorption rate as referred to in the present invention means that the moisture absorption / desorption material is put into a thermo-hygrostat and the conditions of 25 ° C.-RH 90% and 25 ° C.-RH 50% are repeated every 24 hours, and the moisture absorption and desorption weights are obtained. Is substantially constant, and is obtained by dividing the weight A by the total dry weight B of the hygroscopic material (% by weight).

Next, a method for producing the particulate moisture absorbing and releasing material of the present invention will be described. First, amorphous silica 10 as a main raw material was used.
To 0 parts by weight, an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is added in an amount of 3 to 20 parts by weight, preferably 5 to 15 parts by weight in terms of solid content, and the mixture is added to a mixer such as a ribbon mixer, a muller mixer, a kneader, and a pug mill. When these materials are charged and stirred and mixed at room temperature or under heating, a wet sand-like or slurry-like mixture is obtained. At this time, the amount of moisture was
The amount is preferably adjusted to be 10 to 200 parts by weight with respect to 00 parts by weight. This reaction requires the presence of an appropriate amount of water.If the amount of water is less than this, it becomes difficult for sodium hydroxide to impregnate the amorphous silica, and if it is more than this, it takes a long time to dehydrate by heat treatment. Essentially, productivity decreases.
The amount of water can be adjusted by adjusting the concentration of the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution or by post-adding necessary water.

Next, the wet sand-like or slurry-like mixture is charged into a dryer, and hot air is blown into the mixture to substantially evaporate the water, until the mixture is completely dried, for example, at 100 to 200 ° C., 1 to 1 hour.
After heating and dehydrating for about 6 hours, the amorphous silica and sodium hydroxide react, and a particulate moisture absorbing / releasing material is obtained. As this dryer, any dryer such as a horizontal type or a vertical type can be used, but a rotary kiln is particularly preferred because of its high drying efficiency. When pearlite is used as the amorphous silica, if a heating and pressurizing device such as a hot press is used instead of the dryer, the pearlite is compressed and a particulate moisture absorbing / releasing material having a relatively high bulk density can be obtained. Further, before the wet sand-like raw material mixture is heated, the raw sand mixture may be compressed by a room-temperature press such as a press or a belt press and then charged into a dryer.

Further, when this particulate moisture absorbing / releasing material is combined with another building material, it becomes possible to impart a moisture absorbing / releasing function. Further, it can be effectively used as a moisture-absorbing and releasing material for various products including foods, in addition to architectural uses.

Although the function of the present invention has not yet been elucidated sufficiently, during the heat treatment, part of the silica, which is the main component of the amorphous silica, and the accompanying auxiliary component alumina, react with sodium hydroxide.

It is considered that these compounds form a polycondensation gel during the dehydration process, and at this time, a hygroscopic active surface is formed on the surface of the amorphous silica.

In the present invention, the reason that amorphous silica is used as the main material is that the silica component contained therein is amorphous, has excellent reactivity with alkali, and has a high performance with a simple operation. This is because an excellent granular hygroscopic material can be obtained. On the other hand, if crystalline silica such as silica sand is used as the main material, it does not react with sodium hydroxide under the conditions of the present invention, and a particulate moisture absorbing / releasing material cannot be obtained.

According to the present invention, it is possible to use a volcanic pumice, a pearlite, a clay, etc., which originally have no hygroscopicity as amorphous silica, to obtain a granular material having hygroscopicity.
Further, when diatomaceous earth is used as the amorphous silica, it is possible to provide a granular material whose diatomaceous earth originally has greatly improved moisture absorption / release properties. Therefore, it is an effective material suitable for energy saving for prevention of dew condensation and humidity adjustment of buildings and the like.
