Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-purity aluminum oxide preparation, and in particular to a hydrothermal reaction method for preparing high-purity aluminum oxide. Background Art

[0002] High-purity alumina is a powder material with a purity of ≥99.99%. It has the advantages of high purity, small particle size, narrow particle size distribution range and good sintering activity. It is widely used in many fields such as optics, chemical industry and special ceramics. At present, the methods for preparing high-purity alumina mainly include: ammonium aluminum sulfate pyrolysis preparation method, ammonium aluminum carbonate pyrolysis preparation method, alcohol aluminum hydrolysis preparation method, sol-gel method, high-purity alumina modified Bayer preparation method, plasma method, high-purity aluminum hydrolysis method, etc. Among them, the ammonium aluminum sulfate pyrolysis preparation method, ammonium aluminum carbonate pyrolysis preparation method and alcohol aluminum hydrolysis preparation method have achieved industrial production, but the above methods still have problems such as complex process, high cost, low output, high pollution and high energy consumption.

[0003] The patent (CN204588720U) discloses a method for preparing high-purity alumina by self-absorption hydrolysis. The method uses the negative pressure generated by the rotation of the stirring rod to allow air to enter the liquid through the ventilation pipe, increase the oxygen content of the system, reduce the agglomeration of aluminum powder, promote the reaction of 2H2O+O2→4OH-, increase the pH value of the system, destroy the oxide layer on the metal surface, and then promote the hydrolysis reaction of aluminum. The process of this method is simple, but a large amount of oxygen is introduced into the reaction system, which is prone to explosion when mixed with hydrogen, posing a great safety hazard. The domestic patent (CN103803619A) discloses a method for preparing high-purity alumina powder from fine metal aluminum powder. The method mixes aluminum powder with an aluminum content of more than 99.99% and oxygen with a purity of more than 99.999% and heats it to more than 600°C. The aluminum powder reacts with oxygen to produce high-purity alumina with a purity of more than 99.999%.

The aluminum hydroxide is then dried and calcined to prepare high-purity alumina.

[0031] (2) Before the hydrothermal reaction, the present invention first introduces water vapor into the fluidized bed and fills the fluidized bed, and then exhausts the air in the fluidized bed. During the reaction, a centrifugal fan is used to extract hydrogen and excess water vapor. No oxygen is present during the entire hydrothermal reaction process, thereby avoiding the potential safety hazard of explosion caused by the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen encountering an open flame, thereby greatly improving the safety of the hydrothermal reaction.

[0032] (3) The present invention prepares hydrogen as a byproduct while preparing high-purity alumina, and separates water vapor and hydrogen through a heat exchanger. Compared with conventional hydrogen production processes, the hydrothermal reaction for preparing hydrogen has significant advantages such as being simple and fast, low cost, green and pollution-free, and energy-saving and consumption-reducing.

[0033] The invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, high safety performance, and can also prepare by-product hydrogen, thus having good economic benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
