Problems solved by technology

Also, it is well known that alkali metals cannot reduce tantalum oxide and niobium oxide. Therefore, reducing potassium fluoroniobate containing niobium oxide and / or potassium fluorotantalate containing tantalum oxide with alkali metals cannot obtain pure niobium powder and / or or tantalum powder, and cause the loss of precious metals tantalum and niobium
[0011] In addition, the use of nickel-based alloy materials for reaction vessels and stirrers will cause pollution to niobium powder when alkali metals are used to reduce potassium fluoroniobate. Therefore, so far, there has been no industrial reduction of potassium fluoroniobate by alkali metal Successful precedent for producing capacitor grade niobium powder

Abstract

The present invention relates to the production method of niobium powder and / or tantalum powder; The method is carried out by reducing oxygen-containing alkali metal fluoroniobate and / or oxygen-containing fluorotantalate, wherein the reduction reaction temperature is 300-1050 °C, using at least one alkali metal plus at least one halide selected from Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ce and the oxygen-containing alkali metal fluoroniobate and / or oxygen-containing fluorotantalate Reaction takes place to produce niobium powder and / or tantalum powder; the reduction recovery rate is high during niobium powder and tantalum powder produced according to the inventive method, and the produced niobium powder and tantalum powder have large specific surface area, large porosity, and higher oxygen content Low, when used to make capacitor anodes, it has the characteristics of large open porosity, low leakage current and high specific volume; the invention is convenient for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the production of niobium and / or tantalum powder. Background technique [0002] Niobium and tantalum, known as valve metals, have similar properties and can be used to manufacture the anode of electrolytic capacitors, that is, niobium wire or tantalum wire is embedded in niobium powder or tantalum powder, pressed into shape, sintered into a porous sintered body, and then in the electrolyte Anodic oxidation is carried out in the solution, and a dielectric oxide film is formed on the surface of the porous sintered body. On the oxide film, manganese dioxide or a conductive organic polymer solid electrolyte is sequentially formed to form a carbon layer and a silver layer as the cathode of the capacitor. The anode terminal and the cathode terminal are then resin-encapsulated to obtain a niobium / tantalum solid electrolytic capacitor. [0003] As the niobium powder or tantalum powder of the electrolytic capacito...
