The invention discloses a preparation method of nano spherical
cobalt powder, and relates to a preparation method of nano spherical
cobalt powder for a hard
alloy cutter. According to the method,
cobalt sulfate and
ammonium bicarbonate serve as raw materials, spherical cobalt
carbonate particles containing a large amount of complex
ammonia are prepared under the low-temperature and high-
ammonia synthesis conditions, then the synthesized spherical cobalt
carbonate is pulpified through hot pure water, under the action of the hot pure water, the complex
ammonia overflows from the interior of the spherical cobalt
carbonate particles, and the spherical cobalt carbonate particles are subjected to high-temperature high-ammonia synthesis. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing spherical cobalt carbonate, converting the spherical cobalt carbonate into micron loose cobalt carbonate spherical particles consisting of nano spherical cobalt carbonate particles, then, enabling the micron cobalt carbonate particles to collide with one another and be crushed into nano spherical cobalt carbonate particles in a manner of improving the stirring strength, and reducing the obtained nano spherical cobalt carbonate particles with
hydrogen to obtain the nano spherical cobalt carbonate. And the nano spherical cobalt
powder product is obtained. The preparation method of the nano spherical cobalt powder is simple in raw materials and process and easy for industrial production.
