Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear energy and particularly relates to a lithium zirconate ceramic ball tritium breeding material and a preparation method thereof. According to the preparation method disclosed by the invention, an isostatic pressing method is adopted for preparing ceramic balls, and the density is higher than those prepared by rotational molding, wet process dehydration molding and wet process ZrO2 addition molding. The ceramic balls prepared by other methods are molded under the situation that external pressure does not exist, and the degree of compaction of components is lower than that of the isostatic pressing method. Simultaneously, the structure can release carbon dioxide during the sintering process, and the density of the balls is lower; and however, in the preparation method disclosed by the invention, powder is firstly prepared and can realize full reaction and release the carbon dioxide, and when the sintering of the ceramic balls is performed in the second step, the released carbon dioxide is very little, and the density of the prepared lithium zirconate ceramic balls is higher. In addition, if the density of the ceramic balls needs to be improved continuously, the pressure for isostatic pressing can be improved, and then the density of the obtained ceramic balls can be increased.

Background technology
Solid tritium propagation clad material is one of critical material of commercial nuclear fusion stack, and its technology of preparing and thermal technology's physical property have directly determined the interior behavioral study of the heap of covering, is the necessary basis of carrying out design and development tritium propagation covering.
Magnetic confinement nuclear fusion can be one of choice of technology of the strategic energy of human future Sustainable development, according to the current situation prediction of current international magnetic confinement fusion technology, very likely in 21st century, first three makes substantial progress magnetic confinement nuclear fusion heap commercial technology taking Tokamak Fusion Reactor as mark for 10 years, develops the ripe of the clean nuclear fusion energy technology of potential alternative fossil energy.
Tritium is artificial nucleic and consumes in deuterium-tritium body fusion reaction, in order to maintain the continual and steady operation of fusion reactor, need in fusion reactor blanket, carry out tritium production and propagation, to supplement the tritium of burnup.
The kind of solid product tritium material is more, and the correlative study work of having carried out at present mainly concentrates on Li 2o, Li 2zrO 3, LiAlO 2, Li 2tiO 3, Li 2siO 3, Li 4siO 4in tritium performance, mechanical property and thermal characteristics etc. several tritium multiplication agents.At present, Li 4siO 4and Li 2tiO 3become respectively the preferred material that Europe and Japanese fusion reactor produce tritium covering tritium multiplication agent.From the design of cladding structure, multiplication agent is made to microballoon, if single size distributes, its closestpacking filling ratio in covering also only has 67%, considers that the grating of different diameter microballoon is filled, maximum loading level is 80%.Preparation method mainly comprises that Japan is for Li 2tiO 3rotational forming, wet method dehydration forming, the wet method TiO of exploitation 2addition moulding, extrusion moulding, heating reunion moulding and the moulding of melting spray thing etc. in Europe.And Li 2zrO 3also be a kind of tritium-breeding material, current preparation method is mainly sol-gel method.The efficiency that this method is prepared ball is high, but in ball sintering process, breakage rate is also high, wastes more serious.
Summary of the invention
For prior art deficiency, the invention provides a kind of lithium zirconate Ceramic Balls tritium-breeding material and preparation method thereof.
A preparation method for lithium zirconate Ceramic Balls tritium-breeding material, its concrete steps are as follows:
(1) Quilonum Retard and zirconium white and excessive dehydrated alcohol are mixed, wherein Quilonum Retard and zirconic molar ratio are 1.1~1.2;

(3) compound step (2) being obtained is dried in baking oven, and Temperature Setting is 80~90 DEG C, and drying time is 8~12 hours;
(4) compound and crucible are all put into sintering oven, set heating curve, sintering oven is steadily heated up, compound is carried out to sintering; Be warmed up to 500~600 DEG C through two hours, be incubated 3 hours, and then with two hours, be warmed up to 900 DEG C~1000 DEG C, be incubated 24 hours; Reaction equation is: Li 2cO 3+ ZrO 2=Li 2zrO 3+ CO 2↑;
(5) compound after sintering step (4) being obtained rejoins excessive dehydrated alcohol, again pours in abrasive dust tank, uses zirconia ceramics ball as abrading-ball, mixes 4 hours on ball crusher;
(6) compound step (5) being obtained is dried in baking oven, and Temperature Setting is 80~90 DEG C, and drying time is 8~12 hours;
(7) compound after step (6) is dried is pulverized, sieved;
(8) the compound powder of step (7) gained is packed in rubber mold, on isostatic pressing machine, rubber mold is pressurizeed, institute's plus-pressure is 100~200 MPa;
(9) Ceramic Balls of gained after the static pressure such as step (8) is carried out to sintering in High Temperature Furnaces Heating Apparatus, sintering temperature is 1200 ~ 1350 DEG C, and soaking time is 5~8 hours, obtains a kind of lithium zirconate Ceramic Balls tritium-breeding material.
A kind of lithium zirconate Ceramic Balls tritium-breeding material, the molecular formula of described lithium zirconate Ceramic Balls tritium-breeding material is Li 2zrO 3, its density is not less than 4.01 g/cm 3, be not less than β-Li 2zrO 3theoretical density 96.55%, its thermal conductivity is 1.2~2.2 W/mK.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is:
The method of the static pressure such as employing of the present invention is prepared Ceramic Balls, than rotational forming, wet method dehydration forming, wet method ZrO 2it is high that the density of addition moulding is wanted.Ceramic Balls prepared by other method, is all there is no the situation compacted under of external pressure, and the compactness of its composition is just not as waiting method of static pressure.Structure is in sintering process simultaneously, also to discharge carbonic acid gas, make the density of ball lower, and in the present invention, first prepared powder, complete reaction of these powders, discharge carbonic acid gas, in the time that second step carries out Ceramic Balls sintering, the carbonic acid gas of release is little, and this also makes prepared lithium zirconate Ceramic Balls density higher.In addition, if want to continue to improve the density of Ceramic Balls, the pressure that waits static pressure can also be improved, the Ceramic Balls density obtaining like this can increase.The Ceramic Balls density that lithium zirconate material prepared by the present invention is prepared than existing method is better, and thermal conductivity is also higher, is more suitable for using as covering bred material in fusion reactor.
