Abstract

The present invention is a kind of method by rare-earth hexaboronide synthesized by melted salt electrolysis technique or mishmetal hexaboride.This method comprises the preparation of corresponding fused salt, and ionogen accompanying in the cathode product is removed in the casual eccysis of hot water and aqueous hydrochloric acid, and electrolysis temperature can adopt 800 ℃, uses metal or graphite (the most handy metallic copper) to make negative electrode.
With product advantages of good crystallization, purity height that this law makes, product proves single-phase through the gamma ray material phase analysis, and lattice constant is also consistent with literature value.

Description

Rare-earth hexaboronide synthesized by melted salt electrolysis technique
The invention belongs to the synthetic method of rare-earth hexboride compound or mishmetal hexaboride.
People foretell that very early fused salt electrolysis is synthetic LaB 6Best method.But produce LaB so far 6Be not to adopt fused salt electrolysis process, but adopt boron thermal reduction method, this mainly is because it is believed that fused salt electrolysis is difficult to obtain pure LaB 6
We think that the major cause that fused salt electrolysis always is difficult to obtain single-phase product has 2 points: the one, before the used fused salt of electrolysis contained alkaline-earth metal fluoride, fluoaluminate etc., this makes to separate removes difficulty of electrolytic condenser accompanying in the cathode deposition, simultaneously, alkaline-earth metal ions, the Al in these fused salts 3+, Na +Deng metal ion under the given electrolytic condition easily and rare earth ion, B 3+Separate out simultaneously, thereby be difficult to obtain single-phase product; The 2nd, the used negative electrode of electrolysis mostly used graphite rod or plumbago crucible in the past, must sneak into the carbon that is difficult to flush away in a large number in the cathode product like this, made the purity drop of product.The interior Tian Jianzhi of Japan reports in the clear 52-78799 of patent, uses La 2(B 4O 7) 3Or AlF 3+ LiF+La 2(B 4O 7) 3Make the fused salt component, under 800 °~1050 ℃ temperature and under nitrogen protection, carry out electrolysis as negative electrode, the LaB that on cathode bar, separates out with graphite rod 6Use HCl+AlCl 3Or H 2SO 4+ Al 2(SO 4) 3After the washing, obtained surpassing the LaB of theoretical amount 6[by 52 gram La 2(B 4O 7) 3Make the LaB of 36 grams 6], as seen its product purity is problematic.And, use Al when using nitrogen protection and washing cathode deposition 2(SO 4) 3And AlCl 3, all make the cost up of product; The fused salt component that it is used must use the temperature up to 1050 ℃ when electrolysis, the heat energy of consumption is too big; Because use graphite rod to make negative electrode, product is difficult to avoid sneaking into carbon, is difficult to obtain monophasic product.
It is easy to the objective of the invention is to seek a kind of technological operation, and production cost is low, can make the molten salt electrolysis method of the rare-earth hexboride compound monophasic, that purity is high.
The present invention adopts I (RE 2O 3+ B 2O 3+ Li 2O) or II (RE 2O 3+ B 2O 3+ Li 2CO 3) or III (RE 2O 3+ B 2O 3+ Li 2CO 3+ LiF) as fused salt component (wherein RE represents rare earth element), in the inherent air of 800 °~850 ℃ temperature ranges, carry out electrolysis, use metal (the most handy copper) rod to make negative electrode, the precipitate of negative electrode uses the hydrochloric acid soln washing of boiling water and 5%, promptly obtains rare-earth hexboride compound monophasic, that purity is high or mishmetal hexaboride.
Use the technology of present method manufacturing rare-earth hexboride compound simple, production cost is low, and product proves single-phase through the X ray material phase analysis, and lattice constant conforms to the report of document [1], the degree of purity of production height.
