Hydrogen-containing rare earth halide, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the application of inorganic scintillating materials, in particular to a hydrogen-containing rare earth halide, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The anhydrous rare earth halide has wide application in the fields of scintillating materials, organic synthesis catalysts and the like. Especially, in recent years, the rare earth halide scintillation crystal attracts great attention due to its excellent performance. However, due to the price of high-purity raw materials, the rare earth halide scintillation crystal cannot be industrialized in time, so that a large-scale low-cost preparation method of high-purity anhydrous rare earth halide is needed to be developed. Meanwhile, the rare earth halide is easy to absorb moisture and oxidize, so that the development difficulty of the scintillation material is increased.
The existing preparation methods of high-purity rare earth halides generally have two types: one is obtained by directly combining high-purity rare earth metal (the content of the rare earth metal is more than or equal to 99.9 wt%) and halogen elementary substance (metal halogenation method); the other method adopts ammonium halide to directly react with rare earth oxide or dehydrate hydrated rare earth halide under the protection of ammonium halide to prepare anhydrous rare earth halide.
In actual operation, because rare earth metals are active in nature and usually contain more oxide impurities, the content of the oxide impurities in the rare earth halides obtained by directly combining high-purity rare earth metals and halogen simple substances is difficult to control, and the requirement of the scintillation crystal field on the purity of the halides is difficult to meet.
The ammonium halide and the rare earth oxide directly react, or the hydrated rare earth halide is dehydrated under the protection of the ammonium halide, so that the problems that the oxide is difficult to completely react, or the rare earth halide is easy to hydrolyze in the dehydration process exist. Therefore, the content of oxide impurities in the product is difficult to control, and the use requirement in the field of scintillation crystals cannot be met.
Therefore, the search for a high-efficiency and low-cost preparation method of high-purity anhydrous halide is very important for the development and application of halide scintillation materials.

Detailed Description
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples.
It should be noted that the purity in the present application refers to the mass content, for example, the rare earth hydride with the purity of 99.9% or more refers to the mass content of 99.9% or more of the rare earth hydride excluding the gas impurities (i.e., may contain some unavoidable non-gas impurities). The purity of other substances is likewise understood to mean the percentage by mass.
The content of impurities is in ppm, 1ppm means one part per million by mass, and means that the content of impurities in the rare earth halide is less than or equal to several parts per million by mass of the total mass. If the O content is less than or equal to 100ppm, the O content in the rare earth halide is less than or equal to one million by mass.
As mentioned in the background, the rare earth halides obtained in the prior art are relatively high in oxygen-and water-containing impurities, thus limiting the use of rare earth halides. In order to improve the purity of the rare earth halide and reduce the impurity content, the inventors conducted a great deal of research and experiments, and initially adopted the following scheme: by reaction of rare earth metals with NH4And reacting X (X ═ Cl, Br and I) in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain the anhydrous rare earth halide. The advantages of this method were found to be: the oxide impurities in the rare earth metals may be reacted with NH4X is removed by reaction, and a high-purity product with low oxygen content is easily obtained. But has the following disadvantages: the product phase homogeneity is poor. With LaBr3For example, La swarf and NH4Br is mixed according to the stoichiometric ratio (mol ratio) of 1:6, and then the temperature is gradually increased to 800 ℃ under the argon atmosphere, and then a halide product is obtained. The product is tested to find that the content of LaBr and LaBr is higher2And (3) components.
In order to further make the phase of the product uniform, the rare earth metal powder with smaller grain diameter is obtained after hydrogen explosion crushing and dehydrogenation. By reacting rare earth metal powder with NH4And mixing X (Cl, Br and I), and reacting in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain the high-purity rare earth halide with a single valence state. To further simplify the process, the rare earth hydride powder is directly reacted with NH without dehydrogenation4X reacts to obtain high purityThe hydrogen-containing rare earth halide product.
In the above embodiment, it was found that the hydrogen-containing rare earth halide prepared by the process contains a small amount of hydrogen element, which is present in the form of halogen hydride. This is also an advantage of the halide application level prepared by the above process: the hydrogen-containing halide releases hydrogen after being heated, and can provide good reducing atmosphere, thereby effectively reducing the oxidation of the rare earth halide in the application process.
Based on the above research results, in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, there is provided a method for preparing a hydrogen-containing rare earth halide, the method comprising: mixing rare earth hydride with ammonium halide to obtain a mixture; and heating the mixture for reaction to obtain the hydrogen-containing rare earth halide.
Compared with the existing metal halogenation method, the preparation method of the application adopts the rare earth hydride as the raw material for preparing the rare earth halide, and the rare earth hydride has less oxide impurities, even if a small amount of oxide reacts with ammonium halide to generate the rare earth halide, so that the problem that the content of impurities is high due to overhigh oxide of the raw material is solved. Compared with compact rare earth metal simple substance, the rare earth hydride is easier to be broken into powder with smaller diameter, so the reaction with halide is more thorough, and the purity of the obtained rare earth halide is higher. Compared with the existing ammonium halide method, the reaction process does not involve water and oxygen, so that a water-free and oxygen-free product is more easily obtained.
Compared with a common metal halogenation method (the anhydrous metal halide is prepared by direct combination reaction of high-purity metal and high-purity halogen simple substance serving as raw materials), the preparation method is simpler, can obtain a product with extremely low oxygen content, is easier for mass production, and has a better industrial application prospect.
From the viewpoint of reducing the content of impurities in the product, the lower the content of impurities in the raw material rare earth hydride, the better. And the rare earth hydride species, as long as the hydride exists in the prior art or the rare earth species capable of being prepared to obtain the hydride, are within the protection scope of the present application. In thatIn a preferred embodiment, the rare earth hydride has a purity of not less than 99.9%; preferred rare earth hydrides have the formula REHcRE is one or two of rare earth elements La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y and Sc, and b is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3.
In order to reduce the content of impurities in the product as much as possible, the application carries out various optimization experiments on the raw materials of the preparation method, and finds that the particle size of the rare earth hydride has certain influence on the purity of the product. When the granularity of the rare earth hydride is below 500 mu m, the reaction is carried out more fully, the oxygen content of the product is lower, and the content of the rare earth element in the EDTA test product meets the theoretical value of the content in the target product. Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the rare earth hydride is a powder, more preferably a powder having a particle size of 500 μm or less; further preferably, the ammonium halide is a powder. From the reaction point of view, the powder, especially the powder with the grain diameter below 500 mu m, is mixed more evenly, and then the reaction is more complete, and correspondingly, the impurity content is relatively lower.
In the preparation method, the reaction ratio of the rare earth hydride and the ammonium halide can be optimally selected according to experimental conditions, and in a preferred embodiment of the application, the rare earth hydride and the ammonium halide are mixed according to a molar ratio of 1 (3-10) to obtain a mixture. The molar ratio of the two raw materials is controlled within the range, so that the high-purity hydrogen-containing rare earth halide with a single valence state is obtained.
In order to avoid the introduction of impurities by contacting the reaction raw materials with moisture or oxygen as much as possible, all operations in the above-mentioned production process of the present application are preferably carried out in an oxygen-free and water-free environment. In a preferred embodiment, the rare earth hydride is mixed with the ammonium halide under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a mixture. In another preferred embodiment, the mixture is heated and reacted under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain the hydrogen-containing rare earth halide.
The temperature and time of heating in the heating reaction step can be optimally selected according to the performance of the product. In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the heating reaction includes: reacting the mixture at 200-400 ℃ for 0.5-24 h to obtain an intermediate product; heating the intermediate product to 400-1000 ℃ and reacting for 0.5-24 h to obtain the rare earth halide. The method comprises the steps of firstly reacting at 200-400 ℃ for 0.5-24 hours to obtain a mixture of rare earth halide and ammonium halide, then continuously heating to 400-1000 ℃, and carrying out heat preservation reaction for 0.5-24 hours to volatilize halide so as to remove excessive ammonium halide, thereby obtaining high-purity hydrogen-containing rare earth halide.

The scintillation material may be a scintillation detector of a scintillation crystal or a scintillation ceramic material. Moreover, the hydrogen-containing rare earth halide of the application contains a small amount of hydrogen element, and the hydrogen element exists in the form of halogen hydride, so that the application process has the following advantages: the hydrogen-containing rare earth halide releases hydrogen after being heated, and can provide good reducing atmosphere, thereby effectively reducing the oxidation of the rare earth halide in the application process.
