In the present application, the power of the high-voltage direct current power source or the high-frequency power source is preferably 0.5-500kW, more preferably 15-30kW. In the present application, the working gas (i.e. the gas for generating plasma) of the thermal plasma is preferably one or more of nitrogen, helium, argon, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gas, and the flow rate of the working gas is preferably 0.1-800m 3 / h, further preferably 0.5-500m 3 / h, more preferably 3-100m 3 / h.

[0038] In the present application, the alumina powder raw material is preferably α-alumina and / or γ-alumina, and the particle size of the alumina powder raw material is preferably 0.1-50μm, i.e. the present application uses micron or nanometer α-alumina and / or γ-alumina as the raw material. In the present application, the purity of the alumina powder raw material is preferably 4N grade.

[0039] In the present application, the alumina powder raw material is preferably delivered by a carrier gas, which is preferably one or more of nitrogen, helium, argon, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gas. In the present application, the feeding rate of the alumina powder raw material is preferably 0-50kg / h, and is not 0, and in the embodiments of the present application, the feeding rate of the alumina powder raw material is 1-20g / min, which can be specifically 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20g / min. In the present application, the flow rate of the carrier gas is preferably 0-10m 3 / h, preferably 0.1-5m 3 / h, more preferably 0.4-2.5m 3 / h.

[0040] The present application controls the feeding amount and residence time of the alumina powder raw material (controls the flow rate of the carrier gas) and the operating power of the plasma power source, thereby controlling the speed of the raw material passing through the high-temperature plasma environment (plasma high-temperature zone), so that the alumina raw material is completely evaporated in the thermal plasma atmosphere of the high-temperature plasma environment.

[0041] In the present application, the quenching medium is preferably one or more of nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, air, dry ice, water and ethanol, and the temperature of the quenching medium is room temperature. In the embodiments of the present application, the quenching medium is preferably a mixed medium of nitrogen, supersaturated water vapor and nitrogen, or a mixed medium of supersaturated ethanol vapor and nitrogen.

[0042] In the present application, the completely evaporated alumina raw material is rapidly quenched to form stable nanoscale spherical α-alumina product by condensation crystallization. By selecting and controlling the cooling medium, including the flow rate of the gaseous quenching medium (such as argon, nitrogen, etc.) and / or the entrainment of the liquid quenching medium, the present application regulates the quenching rate to achieve rapid and accurate regulation of the particle size and crystal phase of the alumina powder product. Due to the very fast cooling rate, the particles can complete the phase change process from solid-liquid-gas to gas-liquid-solid in a very short time, and the process is dispersed by the gas flow, so that the alumina product does not agglomerate, and the particles have high dispersibility, and therefore the nanoscale α-alumina powder with uniform particle size, good dispersibility and spherical morphology can be obtained.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the plasma device shown in FIG. 1 is preferably used to prepare ultrafine nanoscale spherical α-alumina. In the present application, the plasma device comprises:

[0047] a quencher 7 in communication with the lower part of the reaction cavity of the plasma torch 5, the quencher 7 is in communication with a quenching medium supply device 10;

[0048] A powder filter 8 with a water cooling device, which is connected to the outlet of the quenching device 7;

[0049] and a tail gas cooling tank 9, which is connected to the tail gas outlet of the powder filter 8, and the tail gas outlet of the tail gas cooling tank 9 is connected to the quenching medium inlet of the quenching device 7.

[0050] The process for preparing ultra-fine nanometer spherical alpha alumina by using the plasma device in the embodiment of the application is as follows (taking plasma as arc plasma, plasma working gas as argon, and quenching medium as gas medium as examples):

[0051] First, the circulating water cooling device 6 is started, argon is filled into the plasma generator of the plasma device, after all the gas is replaced by argon, high-voltage power is provided by a high-voltage direct current power supply or a high-frequency power supply, then the arc is pulled out by short-circuiting the anode and cathode of the arc cylinder, and the excitation coil is started to constrain the arc position to the lower part of the cathode tip, thereby forming a uniform and stable plasma high-temperature area. This large-area plasma area is called "diffused or dispersed 'arc plasma' " due to its relatively uniform and low-density state, and the average temperature is more than 5000K;

[0052] After the arc of the device is stabilized, the flow rates of the corresponding working gas, carrier gas and quenching gas are adjusted, the device power reaches the set value, the powder feeder is started, and the alumina powder raw material is pushed out of the hopper and then carried into the plasma high-temperature area by the carrier gas. Due to the huge temperature difference, the particles are instantaneously heated to the evaporation state;

[0053] Then the evaporation-state material enters the quenching device at the lower part of the plasma reaction chamber, the quenching medium is supplied by the quenching medium supply device at a certain flow rate, the powder vapor is instantaneously and uniformly quenched by the high-speed quenching medium, the particles rapidly nucleate and condense, and the particle morphology becomes spherical morphology with good dispersibility due to the surface tension;

[0054] After that, the prepared ultra-fine nanometer spherical alpha alumina is collected in the filter and further cooled, and the generated tail gas is cooled in the tail gas cooling tank and can be recycled to the quenching section as quenching medium.

[0055] In the embodiment of the application, the plasma device is used, the carrier gas continuously sends the alumina powder raw material into the plasma torch for reaction, so that high-quality spherical ultra-fine nanometer alpha alumina powder can be continuously and controllably produced. Moreover, the process is simple, easy to operate, low in production cost, high in production efficiency, and suitable for industrial production.

[0056] The application also preferably calcines the ultra-fine nanometer spherical alpha alumina collected in the filter. In the application, the temperature of the calcination is preferably 400-900°C, more preferably 500-700°C, the time is preferably 1-10h, more preferably 2-6h, and the temperature rising rate to the temperature of the calcination is preferably 10°C / min. In the application, the calcination is preferably carried out in a tube furnace or a muffle furnace, and both the furnace tube and the crucible are made of corundum. The application removes impurities by the calcination, such as removing carbon evaporated and adhered to the powder at high temperature from the electrode of the thermal plasma excitation power source (mainly graphite electrode). After the calcination, the product is slowly cooled to room temperature.

[0057] In the application, the particle size of the ultra-fine nanometer spherical alpha alumina is 100nm or less, the specific surface area is 10-100g / m 2 , and the purity after the calcination is 4N grade.

[0058] In order to further illustrate the application, the method for preparing ultra-fine nanometer spherical alpha alumina provided by the application is described in detail below in combination with examples, but they should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the application.
