This invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity cubic
fluorite-structured
dysprosium titanate powder neutron absorber material for
nuclear reactor cores, comprising the following steps: S1, ball milling and mixing: Dy2O3
powder and TiO2
powder are dried to completely remove
crystal water, and then mixed at a
molar ratio of Dy2O3 powder to TiO2 powder of 1:(1~1.2), followed by high-energy mechanical ball milling to obtain a mixed powder; S2, pre-
sintering: the mixed powder after high-energy mechanical ball milling is heated at a heating rate of 5~10℃ / min. After holding at 1300-1600℃ for 3-12 hours, the material is cooled to
room temperature in the furnace to obtain calcined
dysprosium titanate; S3,
Smelting: The calcined
dysprosium titanate is heated to complete melting, and then the melt is allowed to cool naturally at
room temperature. After solidification, as-cast
dysprosium titanate is obtained; S4,
Mechanical crushing of ingots: The re-solidified as-cast
dysprosium titanate is subjected to jaw crushing, high-energy mechanical ball milling, and then the crushed powder is sieved to obtain high-purity cubic
fluorite structured
dysprosium titanate powder
neutron absorber material for
nuclear reactor cores.
