The utility model belongs to the technical field of
refractory metal preparation, and particularly relates to a device for preparing
refractory metal powder through layered reduction, which comprises a reactor, a heater and a tray, diluted salt and a
reducing agent are laid in the reactor,
refractory metal oxide raw materials are contained in the tray, and the tray can be submerged in the
reducing agent or the diluted salt in a lifting mode. The top of the reactor is connected to vacuum equipment through a vacuumizing
pipe; a gas inlet and a gas outlet which are used for introducing
inert gas into the reactor and discharging
inert gas from the reactor are also formed in the top of the reactor. The device also provides a new preparation mode for
tantalum powder, reduction is carried out for a certain time in the upper
magnesium melt, the influence of diluted salt in the reduction process is eliminated, and the product structure is not damaged; and then entering a lower layer diluted salt
molten salt system, and preserving heat for a period of time, so that the surface activity of
tantalum powder particles can be improved, the
impurity content is reduced, the growth and
sintering of
small particles are promoted, and the particle uniformity and pore structure are improved.
