Problems solved by technology

However, the existing thermal reduction method still needs to use expensive or toxic raw materials, as well as high energy consumption conditions such as high synthesis temperature and long holding time, and it is difficult to form a uniform rod-like structure: "Using zirconium-containing organic precursors to synthesize borides Preparation method of zirconium powder material" (CN102557642A) patented technology, using high-priced zirconium-containing organic precursors, glucose and boric acid as raw materials, and heat treatment at 1300-1700°C for 1-5 hours to obtain zirconium boride powder. But it has not been reported to have a rod-like structure; "A method for preparing zirconium boride powder with a rod-like shape" (CN201210506176.5) patent technology, using zirconium dioxide, boron carbide and graphite as raw materials, first undergoes ball milling and pressing Pretreatment of the billet, etc., and then heat treatment at 1200-1800°C for 0.5-5 hours to obtain a zirconium boride powder with a rod-shaped particle content of only 90wt%; "Preparation process of rod-shaped zirconium boride powder" (CN201410116048. 9) Patented technology, using toxic zirconium tetrachloride as raw material to prepare rod-shaped zirconia, and preparing carbon powder by cracking and pulverizing phenolic resin, and then mixing the above-mentioned zirconia and carbon powder with boron carbide and then heat preservation at 1600-1800°C for 0.5 ~ 2 hours of heat treatment, obtained boron carbide powder with aspect ratio of only 2 times or more

[0005] In summary, the existing methods for preparing zirconium boride powder generally have disadvantages such as high raw material cost, complicated process, high reaction temperature, low reaction rate, lack of uniform rod structure, difficulty in industrial production and environmental pollution.
