The invention relates to superfine
molybdenum powder and a converter reduction preparation method thereof, belongs to the technical field of rare
metal powder metallurgy, and solves the problems that the existing
molybdenum powder preparation process is easy to cause hardening and agglomeration, the appearance
granularity of the
molybdenum powder cannot be controlled, the reduction process is complicated, the efficiency is low, the
energy consumption is high and the cost is high. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing
molybdenum oxide powder; (2) adding the
molybdenum oxide into a converter, and introducing
hydrogen for reduction; wherein the
molybdenum oxide powder is nanoscale molybdenum
oxide. The contact area between the adopted nanoscale molybdenum
oxide powder
raw material and the reducing gas is large, the converter rotates to drive the
raw material powder to flow, full contact between the
raw material powder and the reducing gas is promoted, hardening and agglomeration are inhibited, the reduction efficiency is improved, one-step reduction is achieved, the morphology is easy to control, and no
waste gas is generated; compared with a traditional static pusher furnace, the closed dynamic converter has the advantages that reduction
hydrogen escape is greatly reduced, safety is improved,
energy consumption is reduced, and the use amount of
hydrogen is greatly reduced.
