Technical field
The invention belongs to the functional inorganic materials preparing technical field, specifically relate to a kind of method that adopts water heat reducing chromate to prepare chromium oxide powder.
Background technology
Chromic oxide (Cr
2O
3) be a kind of important inorganic veridian, metallurgical raw material, abrasive substance and catalyzer, be widely used in fields such as fine ceramics, erosion shield, absorbing material, green polishing composition, organic catalysis be synthetic.Present industrial production Cr
2O
3Method mainly contain chromic trioxide pyrolysis method and sexavalence chromic salts reduction method.The chromic trioxide pyrolysis method is to produce chromic trioxide with sodium dichromate 99 through vitriol oil acidifying earlier, then Cr is made in its high-temperature roasting
2O
3, cost is high and seriously polluted; Sexavalence chromic salts reduction method generally is to be reductive agent with sulphur or sulfide, the mineral acid acidifying, and dry method or wet reducing prepare Cr
2O
3, Production Flow Chart is long, and introduces impurity element such as sulphur, is difficult to obtain high-quality product.The more important thing is, with the Cr of above-mentioned traditional method preparation
2O
3Size mostly is micron order and skewness, does not have regular surface topography, is difficult to adapt to the high performance material requirement.
Along with the progress of science and technology and the development of industry demand, particle diameter is little, narrow distribution range, and have the ultra-fine Cr of special surface pattern
2O
3Powder shows increasing excellent properties.As burningrate catalyst commonly used in the composite solid catalyzer, granularity is more little, and its catalytic efficiency is also high more; Spherical Cr
2O
3Superfine powder is evenly distributed, in senior pigment, top coat, aspect extensive application such as senior abrasive easily owing to its good fluidity.
Now developed the ultra-fine high added value Cr of a series of preparations such as comprising chromium metal oxidation style, chromic salt hydrolytic precipitation method, electrolytic process, phase transfer method
2O
3Novel method, to satisfying different performance Cr
2O
3Vital role has been played in requirement.For example, as " adopt pre-carbonating wet reducing potassiumchromate or Sodium chromate to prepare the method for chromic oxide " at Chinese patent (CN1410356A) in disclosed method, use CO earlier
2Gas acidifying potassiumchromate or chromium acid sodium solution add reductive agent prepared in reaction Cr in the hot pressure reaction still then
2O
3Hydrate, calcining obtains Cr then
2O
3Product, this method use sucrose, glucose, fructose or between them any mixture make reductive agent, reaction back reductive agent product enters filtrate, complicated component is difficult for handling, and needs protection of inert gas in the calcination process, and can only obtain the common Cr of conventional yardstick
2O
3Product.And Chinese patent " preparation method of superfined Cr 2 O 3 " (CN1165782A) in disclosed method, be to adopt emulsification/precipitation/calcining preparation technology, with the H that makes
2The microemulsion 1 of O/ tween 80/primary isoamyl alcohol/NaOH/ hexanaphthene system splashes into the H that makes under agitation condition
2O/ tween 80/primary isoamyl alcohol/Cr (NO
3)
3In the microemulsion 2 of/hexanaphthene system, produce Cr (OH)
3Precipitation is again with Cr (OH)
3Precipitation is calcined, and can obtain the Cr of median size less than 200m
2O
3Particle, but this method need consume a large amount of emulsifying agents, causes environmental pollution, and be feedstock production Cr with the chromic salt
2O
3Cost is higher relatively.A Chinese patent " a kind of spherical chromic oxide superfine powder preparation method of adjustable grain " (CN1454850A) in disclosed method, at first with mineral acid (concentrated nitric acid, the vitriol oil, concentrated hydrochloric acids etc.) acidifying reduction Sodium chromate becomes trivalent chromium solutions, handle through tensio-active agent again, pH regulator, combination precipitation agent precipitation, solid-liquid separation and calcining and other processes obtain spherical chromic oxide superfine powder, though be granularity regulate and control method preferably, but regulate and control precipitation process with tensio-active agent again after restoring trivalent chromium solutions earlier, make flow process complicated, and make souring agent with mineral acid, in system, introduce other impurity, influenced Cr
2O
3Quality.
