Preparation Technology of Metal Carbide Fine Powder

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation process of metal carbide fine powder. The product is synthesized from metal oxide, carbon black, and carbonization accelerator. The main method is to add aldehydes as the carbonization accelerator during the preparation process, which can greatly increase the reaction speed. And the conversion rate, carbide can be prepared at a lower temperature, and the particles of the generated carbide are finer. The carbonization accelerator can accelerate the reaction rate because the carbonization accelerator preferentially participates in the reaction, which changes the reaction pathway and reduces the activation energy of the reaction. The reaction product (carbide) is in a loose and porous state, which is conducive to the further progress of the diffusion process. Compared with the traditional general method, the carbonization reaction temperature is reduced by 300°C on average, the reaction time is shortened, the production energy consumption is reduced, the carbonization reaction is fully complete, and the product particle size is fine, ensuring The product is of high quality, and the loss of raw materials is reduced to the minimum, so as to truly achieve the best use of everything.

Problems solved by technology

In this technology, when the carbonized carbon of the metal reacts with the metal oxide, the interface between the carbon and the metal oxide first reacts to form carbon monoxide and corresponding carbides, and the carbides start to nucleate and grow gradually, and then the carbon and oxides pass through Diffusion passes through the carbide and continues to react. Due to the obstruction of the carbide, the diffusion speed will become slower and slower, so the reaction speed will also become slower and slower. Even in the later stage of the reaction, the reaction will not proceed because the reactant cannot diffuse. , so it will lead to low conversion and impure products. To make the reaction go smoothly, carbides must be prepared at a higher temperature. Therefore, increasing the temperature will increase the production energy consumption, and with the increase of the temperature And the time is prolonged, the carbide grains will grow up, after the initial nucleation of the reaction, the carbide grains will gradually grow up, the higher the temperature, the faster the grain growth rate, eventually leading to carbonization in the product Coarse grain

However, there is no catalyst added in the traditional metal carbide production and preparation process, which makes the carbonization reaction insufficient, resulting in waste of raw materials, and has high temperature requirements, and the particle size of the product cannot be guaranteed. It also requires long-term wet ball milling. , to reduce the particle size, not only the cost is high, the efficiency is low, but also impurities such as iron and oxygen are added, which seriously affects the production quality and effect of the product
