Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing low-oxygen high-pure metal hafnium powder; the low-oxygen high-pure metal hafnium powder has the purity of greater than 99.5wt% and the oxygen content being smaller than 0.15 wt%. The preparation method comprises the following steps: a. filling metal hafnium powder, a deoxidizing agent and a molten salt into a crucible; b, putting the crucible into a reaction tank, sealing the equipment, vacuumizing and inflating argon gas to wash the crucible, heating and deoxidizing, then performing constant-temperature and thermal-insulating deoxidization, cooling and discharging at the end of the deoxidization; c, pickling the discharged product, then washing with de-ionized water, sieving and drying the obtained product, namely, the product of the low-oxygen high-pure metal hafnium powder. The molten salt system is capable of effectively removing impurities in the metal hafnium powder, in particular, remarkably reducing the oxygen content in the hafnium powder; and the prepared low-oxygen high-pure metal hafnium powder satisfies the material requirement of high-end products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing high-purity hafnium powder, in particular to a method for manufacturing low-oxygen high-purity metal hafnium powder. It can be used in the preparation of high-purity hafnium powder used in fields such as atomic energy industry, information industry, petrochemical industry, and aerospace, and belongs to the field of pyrometallurgy. Background technique [0002] Hafnium has excellent nuclear properties, and its thermal neutron capture cross section is as high as 115b (1b=10 -28 m 2 ), can absorb thermal neutrons in nuclear reactors, and is used as control materials for nuclear reactors, as well as protective coatings and flux attenuators in reactors. Metal hafnium has good corrosion resistance, and its corrosion resistance in hot water and steam mixture is higher than that of titanium and zirconium, so it can be used as a special structural material in chemical industry. In addition, hafnium also has...
