Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of spherical and spheroidal zinc powder.
Background
At present, the atomization method is mainly adopted for preparing zinc powder. The medium for the atomization method includes high-pressure air, high-pressure inert gas and high-pressure water. Because the production cost of high-pressure inert gas and high-pressure water is relatively high, at present, high-pressure air is most commonly used as a medium for preparing zinc powder, cooling media of an atomization method are air cooling and water cooling, and at present, air cooling media are commonly used.
For example, CN1529369a in the prior art discloses a method for zinc powder for mercury-free alkaline manganese batteries, which is characterized in that aluminum and/or calcium with high melting points are placed at the bottom of a medium frequency induction furnace when melting is started, indium and bismuth are added at the furnace temperature of 550-640 ℃ after zinc ingots are completely melted, alloying is performed, the mixture is continuously and uniformly stirred for 3-4 minutes, the medium frequency induction furnace is rotated to 85KW and heated for 8-14 minutes, the temperature is controlled to be 650-720 ℃, then heating is stopped, the mixture is poured into a tundish for atomization while the mixture is hot, then particles with the particle size larger than 850 μm are removed by screening, and finally the particles are subjected to homogenization treatment to obtain a finished product.
CN103100709A discloses a method for producing zinc powder for alkaline zinc-manganese dioxide batteries of digital products, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: step A, heating a zinc ingot to 490-640 ℃, and adding at least two elements of indium, bismuth, aluminum and magnesium for alloying; and B: atomizing the alloy zinc liquid obtained in the step A to form zinc powder; and C: and D, grading the powder obtained in the step B by using a vibrating screen to obtain the zinc powder for the alkaline zinc-manganese battery.
The atomization method for preparing the zinc powder is influenced by the process, so that the technical problems and the defects of the atomization method have the following aspects:
1. the atomization powder preparation barrel process is generally a semi-open system and is easily influenced by external factors such as: the external temperature, the humidity, the wind power and the like, so the quality of the zinc powder prepared by the atomization method is relatively large under the external interference.
2. Most of the zinc powder prepared by the atomization method is in a random shape, mainly in a rod shape, a needle shape, a flake shape and the like, so that the zinc powder has relatively large specific surface area and relatively high chemical activity, and is not beneficial to long-time storage (10 years) of an alkaline battery.
3. The zinc powder prepared by the atomization method has relatively high oxidation degree which generally reaches over 0.2 percent because the atomization medium and the cooling medium are air, and the zinc powder is not beneficial to long-time storage.
4. The bulk density of the zinc powder prepared by the atomization method is generally 3g/cm 3 The specific capacity of the alkaline battery thus produced is difficult to be further improved.
