摘要:
The present invention relates to a technique for recovering and recycling a platinum paste. The present invention provides a method for recovering a metal powder from a platinum paste formed by mixing a solid component composed of a metal powder including at least a platinum powder or a platinum alloy powder and an organic component including at least an organic solvent, the method including removing the organic component by heating the platinum paste at a recovery temperature set in a temperature range of 300°C or higher and 500°C or lower. The recovered metal powder can be recycled into a platinum paste equivalent to a new product by mixing the metal powder with a solvent etc.

To be provided is a metal paste from which an electrode having high electrode activity as a sensor electrode of various gas sensors can be produced. The present invention is a metal paste for forming a gas sensor electrode obtained by dispersing a conductive particle including Pt or a Pt alloy and a ceramic powder including zirconia or stabilized zirconia, or any of zirconia and stabilized zirconia and one or more oxides of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Hf in a solvent, the metal paste further including an inorganic oxide particle containing alumina and an insoluble particle that is insoluble in the solvent, in which 0.5 or more to 3.0 mass% or less of the inorganic oxide particle and 1.0 to 5.0 mass% of the insoluble particle are dispersed based on the mass of the solid content of the conductive particle, the ceramic powder, the inorganic oxide particle, and the insoluble particle.

The present invention relates to a gas sensor electrode including a conductive particle phase made of Pt or Pt alloy and a ceramic particle phase being mixed and dispersed, wherein a rate of content of the ceramic particle phase is 6.0 to 22.0 mass%, and a void ratio is 2.5 to 10.0%, and a dispersion degree of the conductive particle phase per length of 25 µm on the electrode surface is 0.60 to 0.85 µm, and a dispersion degree of the conductive particle phase in the electrode cross section per length of 100 µm in a direction parallel to the electrode surface is 2.0 to 4.0 µm. This electrode can be produced by firing a metal paste made by dispersing, in a solvent, a conductive particle having a core/shell structure in which a core particle such as Pt is covered with a ceramic shell and ceramic powder. The gas sensor electrode according to the present invention has a high electrode activity.

The present invention is an electroconductive particle for forming an electrode including a precious metal particle including Pt or a Pt alloy and having an average particle diameter of 50 to 150 nm, a first ceramic particle including Al 2 O 3 or ZrO 2 dispersed in the precious metal particle and having an average particle diameter of 5 to 50 nm, and a second ceramic particle including Al 2 O 3 or ZrO 2 bonded to an outer periphery of the precious metal particle and having an average particle diameter of 5 to 50 nm. The sum of the volume of the first ceramic particle and the volume of the second ceramic particle is preferably 2 to 40 vol% based on the whole electroconductive particle. A metal paste containing the electroconductive particle according to the invention is one from which an electrode film of low resistance and excellent durability can be manufactured and further excellent in adherence and conformability to a substrate.
