This invention provides a method and apparatus for preparing controllable-size
silicon carbide using a
chemical vapor deposition reactor. The method includes the following steps: S1, heating the reactor to the
reaction temperature; S2, introducing a
mixed gas consisting of H2 and a protective gas from the bottom of the reactor, and introducing SiC particles from the top of the reactor, so that the SiC particles are suspended in the reactor and form a stable cycle of "central jetting zone - annular
reflux zone"; S3, using the
mixed gas as a carrier gas, introducing a precursor gas from the bottom of the reactor to carry out a
pyrolysis deposition reaction, and adjusting the carrier gas flow rate in real time to ensure that the deposited SiC particles form a stable cycle; S4, stopping the reaction and
cooling down, and then starting the reactor to collect the product. This method solves the problems of traditional methods, such as difficulty in balancing
large particle size and high purity, difficulty in post-
processing, or introduction of impurities, achieving efficient preparation of high-purity, uniform controllable-size
silicon carbide particles without the need for subsequent
impurity removal or crushing.
