The invention discloses a coaxial
dielectric barrier
discharge plasma device and a method for preparing
metal nitride, and belongs to the field of
nitride powder preparation. Comprising a high-
voltage electrode of a hollow structure, a rotating medium
pipe coaxially arranged outside the high-
voltage electrode in a sleeving mode, a
metal net grounding
electrode wrapping the periphery of the medium
pipe and a carbon
brush assembly electrically connected with the grounding electrode. Reaction gas is introduced from one end of the hollow high-
voltage electrode and is uniformly sprayed into the annular
dielectric barrier
discharge gap between the high-voltage electrode and the rotating
dielectric tube through the electrode wall through holes. The main shaft motor drives the medium
pipe to rotate around the shaft, so that the medium barrier
discharge channel moves in the circumferential direction and the axial direction, and
powder is promoted to be continuously turned over. According to the invention, the
plasma nitridation conversion of the
metal oxide or metal
hydride to the corresponding metal
nitride powder can be realized in the
atmosphere of mainly
nitrogen, and higher nitridation conversion rate and energy utilization efficiency can be obtained at lower
reaction temperature and within shorter reaction time; and the method can be popularized to be used for
plasma modification of other powder materials.
