Problems solved by technology

[0003] The silicon nitride powder preparation method commonly used in the prior art has following several: one, silicon powder direct nitriding method, this method is simple and easy, and cost is low, because the reaction of silicon and nitrogen is exothermic reaction, in order to make silicon powder can Full reaction, the process control is more complicated; at the same time, due to the purity of the raw material itself and the doping of the grinding process after nitriding, the purity of the powder is not high
2. Carbothermal reduction of silica. This method uses silica, which is very abundant in nature, as a raw material, coupled with a faster reaction rate, which is especially suitable for large-scale production, but the disadvantage is that the carbon content in the product is relatively high.
3. Plasma chemical vapor reaction method, which uses silicon halides (SiCl 4 SiBr 4 ... etc.) or silicon hydrohalides (SiHCl 3 SiH 2 Cl 2 ...etc) react with ammonia or nitrogen plus hydrogen in chemical vapor phase, or silane (SiH 4 ) with ammonia or hydrazine (N 2 h 4 ) undergoes a chemical vapor phase reaction, generally producing amorphous silicon nitride powder; the amorphous silicon nitride powder can be heat-treated in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a silicon nitride powder with an α-phase content greater than 95%, but currently the The technology is mainly limited to laboratory research, and has not been mass-produced and practically applied; and the oxygen content of the prepared powder is greater than 2-3%, and the residual chlorine content is high, reaching 60ppm, which will eventually affect the performance of silicon nitride ceramics. performance
