The invention relates to an
alumina powder preparation
system and method based on supersonic flow and a chlorination process. The
system comprises an AlCl3 gas preheating sublimation device, a high-pressure
oxygen source, a
toluene supply device, a Laval
nozzle, a negative pressure chamber, a Venturi
nozzle reactor, an induced draft fan, a
cyclone separator, an electrostatic
dust collector and a
tail gas treatment device. The method comprises the following six steps: preheating and sublimating gas, introducing high-pressure
oxygen and forming a negative pressure zone, introducing
toluene and AlCl3 gas into the negative pressure zone, carrying out mixed
combustion and oxidation reaction on the three gases, cooling and separating a product, and treating
tail gas. According to the invention, supersonic
airflow is generated through the Laval
nozzle and a negative pressure environment is established, so that uniform mixing of AlCl3 gas,
toluene and
oxygen is realized;
combustion, reaction conversion and
crystal form regulation and control are completed in the Venturi spray
pipe; a two-fluid cooling
system is combined with a gradient
separation technology, and high-purity Al2O3
powder with narrow
particle size distribution (D50 = 30-500 nm) and controllable
crystal form (gamma phase content is 50-100%) can be obtained. The system solves the problems of scabbing, low efficiency and the like in a traditional method.
