Abstract

An aspect of the present invention relates to composite aggregate particles, which include a fine particle compound (a1) containing at least either an amorphous titanosilicate compound or an aluminosilicate compound, and a plastic powder (a2). The plastic powder (a2) is attached to at least a part of the surface of the fine particle compound (a1). The pore volume and the average particle size D50 of the composite aggregate particles satisfy the following formula: pore volume (ml/g)≥0.0010×D50 (μm)+1.60.

Claims (32)

1. Composite aggregate particles, comprising:

a fine particle compound (a1) containing at least either an amorphous titanosilicate compound or an aluminosilicate compound; and

a plastic powder (a2),

wherein

the plastic powder (a2) is attached to at least a part of a surface of the fine particle compound (a1), and

a pore volume and an average particle size D50 of the composite aggregate particles satisfy the following formula:

pore volume (ml/g)≥0.0010×D50 (μm)+1.60.

2. The composite aggregate particles according to claim 1 , which have an average particle size D50 of 50 μm to 1 mm.

3. An adsorbent, comprising:

the composite aggregate particles according to claim 2 and activated carbon.

4. The composite aggregate particles according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the plastic powder (a2) is 3 mass % or more and 40 mass % or less.

5. An adsorbent, comprising:

the composite aggregate particles according to claim 4 and activated carbon.

6. The composite aggregate particles according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle size D50 of the fine particle compound (a1) is 200 μm or less.

7. An adsorbent, comprising:

the composite aggregate particles according to claim 6 and activated carbon.

8. The composite aggregate particles according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic powder (a2) is a thermoplastic resin.

9. The composite aggregate particles according to claim 8 , wherein a melt flow rate of the thermoplastic resin is 0.02 g/10 minutes or more and 40 g/10 minutes or less.

10. An adsorbent, comprising:

the composite aggregate particles according to claim 9 and activated carbon.

11. The composite aggregate particles according to claim 8 , wherein the thermoplastic resin is polyethylene.

12. An adsorbent, comprising:

the composite aggregate particles according to claim 11 and activated carbon.

13. An adsorbent, comprising:

the composite aggregate particles according to claim 8 and activated carbon.

14. An adsorbent, comprising:

the composite aggregate particles according to claim 1 and activated carbon.

15. A molded body, comprising:

the adsorbent according to claim 14 .

16. A water purifier, comprising:

the adsorbent according to claim 14 .

17. The water purifier according to claim 16 , which has lead ion removing performance of 80 liters or more per 1 ml of cartridge at a space velocity of 1000 hr −1 .
