Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for producing high-purity nano-molybdenum trioxide. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] In general, the industrial production of molybdenum trioxide is carried out by calcining ammonium molybdate or chemically leaching the molybdenum concentrate with acid or base at high pressure and added oxygen in order to separate the molybdates from the impurities and to obtain high-purity molybdenum trioxide after decomposition. With the steady development of material science and application technology, the problems of molybdenum trioxide obtained by the above methods, e.g. B. the coarse particles in the form of aggregate and the low purity of the molybdenum trioxide, always stand out. Highly active molybdenum trioxide can be used in the field of catalysts, which not only places specific demands on the impurities and particle size distribution, but also places special demands on the reactive properties of the molybdenum trioxide in the solution.

[0003] US4551313 discloses a process for the rapid sublimation of molybdenum trioxide from a slag (of silicon, aluminum and heavy metals), but this only involves separating molybdenum trioxide from impurities and increasing the purity of molybdenum trioxide at a particle size above microns.

[0004] In US6468497 a method for the production of nano-molybdenum trioxide is published, in which it is essential that molybdenum trioxide is rapidly cooled (48° C.) with liquid nitrogen in order to strip-shaped nano-molybdenum trioxide with a length of approx. 80-90 nm and a diameter of approx. 20 - 30 nm.

[0005] With the above methods, of course, it is possible to produce nano-molybdenum trioxide, but there are the following problems: high manufacturing cost, difficult to spread to massive industrial applications, and an acicular product that meets the requirement of special wear-resistant materials in the special field e.g. B. the high-quality lubricants, in which spherical particles of nano-molybdenum trioxide are required, can not meet. Therefore, it is particularly important to achieve an apparatus and a method for the automated and continuous production of the nano molybdenum trioxide with a simple technical process, high safety and low cost. CONTENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0007] The task is solved by the technical solution of the present invention:

[0009] Furthermore, an agitator 20 is arranged horizontally in the first aeration pipe 24, one end of the agitator 20 is connected to a rotary motor 18, and the rotary motor 18 is mounted on a drive shaft of a displacement motor 19 so that the displacement motor 19 rotates the rotary motor 18 in the linear direction of the first ventilation pipe 24 shifts back and forth.

[0010] Furthermore, a pipe of the recovery apparatus 13 is connected to a water spray pump 15 at one end and extends into the filter assembly 12 at the other end. The water spray pump 15 is connected to a deionized water pool 16 which is connected to the water spray pump 15 through a circuit. A circulation pump 17 is provided in the circuit.

[0011] Furthermore, a first valve 26 is provided in the pipe between the recovery device 13 and the water spray pump 15, a compressed air port 14 is provided between the first valve 26 and the recovery device 13, and the compressed air port 14 is formed with a second valve 27.

[0012] Further, the filter assembly 12 comprises a seal comprising a sealed, hollow, metal-blocking foil 2 encased by a layer of temperature-resistant filter cloth 1, with nano-molybdenum trioxide in the intermediate layer between the metal-blocking foil 2 and the temperature-resistant filter cloth 1 3 is inserted, and the interior of the metal-blocking foil 2 is connected to the compressed air connection 14 with the second valve 27 by a pipe.

[0013] Further, the bottom 6 of the furnace for sublimation 7 is formed obliquely, with the end at the junction with the material feeder 2 being higher, and a liquid drain 8 being provided at the lower end of the bottom 6. FIG.

[0015] Furthermore, an observation port 3 is provided on a side wall of the sublimation furnace 7, and the observation port 3 is at the same level of the first ventilation pipe 24.

[0016] Also provided is a method for producing high-purity nano-molybdenum trioxide, in which pure molybdenum trioxide is used as a raw material, which is fed through a material feed (2) to a sublimation furnace (7) and stored in the sublimation furnace (7) at a controlled temperature is sublimated from 1100 - 1600°C; after starting a displacement engine (19) and a rotary engine (18), clean air at 10 - 18°C ​​with a proportion of water less than 30% is introduced from a clean air inlet (10); and while maintaining a temperature in a first ventilation pipe (24) of 75 - 85°C, a spray device (23) is switched on to spray a mist with dispersing agent, whereby the raw material is sprayed into a recovery device, filtered and collected, while the air after the raw material has been filtered off in a filter, it is introduced into a pool for deionized water (16). Furthermore, compressed air with a water content of less than 30% is introduced from a compressed air connection 9 at the bottom of the sublimation furnace 7 to replenish the air and thereby increase the amount of molybdenum trioxide sublimated, the air having a temperature of 15 - 18°C, humidity 28% - 35% and pressure 0.75 - 0.8MPa.

[0017] The nano-molybdenum trioxide obtained in this way is spherical, with a particle size ≤ 100 nm, a sphericity of ≥ 0.92 and a specific surface area ≥ 40 m2 / g.

[0018] The term molybdenum trioxide means high-purity molybdenum trioxide with a total content of impurities ≤ 0.02% (weight), produced by the thermal decomposition of molybdic acid and ammonium molybdate, the oxidation of pure molybdenum powder or other method.

[0019] The invention has the following advantageous aspects: 1) The oven for sublimation can be operated safely. The furnace for sublimation in the invention uses a common sheet iron as a casing, preferably a fireproof brick as an inner lining, a U-shaped silicon-molybdenum rod as a heating element. The temperature control is carried out by a computer, which can run continuously for over 2000 hours. The elements that need to be repaired should be actively exchanged on a regular basis. The bottom pool of molybdenum trioxide should be drained once a year. When the shutdown is planned, the power supply for heating should be turned off, and then the liquid drain 8 should be opened to drain the liquid molybdenum trioxide, which contains impurities with a high melting point or a high density, to cool in a sand box, and as an alloy of molybdenum and iron drive out. Due to the obviously sensible design and training, the heating furnace is better than all previously recognized structures of the heating furnace. Although the heating furnace has the disadvantage that the general tightness is not ideal, the disadvantage here is overcome by the sublimation at the negative pressure. 2) The rotation motor and the translation motor are variable in frequency. The operating elements are driven by the motors in such a way that the cooling air mixes with the molybdenum trioxide gas (with a small amount of air) as quickly as possible in order to achieve the purpose of rapid cooling and thus enable the molybdenum trioxide powder to be crushed to nanoscale. 3) The components for blocking the recovered product are divided into several groups, and for each group clocked a vacuum valve is closed and a flushing air valve is opened for flushing. A manual-automatic lock is provided, which in the case of automatic control is controlled with a pulse control. Alternatively, the groups are used to rinse the recovered product. 4) A dispersant is added at a low temperature section in the process. The dispersing agent can achieve the effects of even division and prevention from agglomerate. 5) A vacuum unit for spraying deionized water is provided. The amount of air sucked in by the unit ensures the complete transfer of the sublimed molybdenum trioxide, adding the cooling air and meeting the material handling requirement for the entire system. In addition, the nano-molybdenum trioxide slightly leaked from the blocking unit is recovered by recovering the molybdenum element by adsorption with a special resin from the circulating deionized water pool. The system operates at negative pressure as a whole, and thus has better environmental friendliness and higher recovery rate. 6) Automatic and massive production. Also, since automatic control (or computer control) can be achieved for refrigeration in each unit according to the present invention, massive continuous production is enabled as long as raw materials are replenished and full containers for product are removed and replaced with new containers. As a result, the process has an incomparable advantage over the existing sublimation processes for the preparation of molybdenum trioxide. Using this process, a product line can produce approximately 50 tons of nano-molybdenum trioxide annually. 7) A nanoscale and spherical product. In the invention, the nano-molybdenum trioxide is treated by rapid cooling with inexpensive air. The product has a particle size of ≤ 100 nm, a specific surface area of ​​≤ 40 m2 / g and a sphericity of ≥ 0.92. The invention has the following advantageous aspects: nano-quasi-spherical molybdenum trioxide can be obtained by sublimating the molybdenum trioxide with pollution-free and highly efficient recovery. character list
