Description

Alkali treatment and purification process for cubic boron nitride
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of superhard material purification, and particularly relates to a cubic boron nitride alkali treatment purification process.
Background
Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) is an artificially synthesized superhard material, has high hardness and good wear resistance, and is widely applied to the machining industry. Cubic boron nitride is synthesized from hexagonal boron nitride and a catalyst at high temperature and high pressure, and can replace artificial diamond in some fields. One of the most important characteristics of cubic boron nitride is that when mixed with alkali, the cubic boron nitride is reversely converted when reaching a certain temperature, i.e. part of cubic boron nitride is converted into hexagonal boron nitride, so that the prepared cubic boron nitride product needs to be purified.
The alkali treatment in the purification process of cubic boron nitride products is a core step, and is characterized by that the cubic boron nitride material (product containing hexagonal boron nitride impurity) and industrial alkali (NaOH, etc.) and water are uniformly stirred according to a certain proportion to obtain a mixture, then the mixture is placed in an alkali pot (the capacity of each alkali pot is about 24kg, and the size of the alkali pot is phi 300 x 300), and heated on an electric furnace, the heated alkali liquor is up to above 350 deg.C, and the high-temperature alkali liquor and hexagonal boron nitride are reacted to remove hexagonal boron nitride impurity so as to implement the purification of cubic boron nitride product.
Wherein, the alkali treatment process technology of the cubic boron nitride product has 7 key points, which specifically comprise the following steps: 1. ratio of base to material; 2. how to lower the melting point; 3. the amount of water used; 4. a temperature point at which cubic boron nitride starts to undergo reverse transformation after the hexagonal boron nitride completely reacts with the alkali; 5. the state of the alkali mixture when the alkali is dissolved after cooling; 6. alkali dissolving process; 7. and (5) cleaning the materials. The key points are process steps capable of influencing the purification effect of the cubic boron nitride product, so that precise regulation and control are required.
However, the alkali treatment process of the existing cubic boron nitride product is basically manual operation, and key control points are completely empirical and lack reliability. In order to reduce the risk of the alkali treatment process, improve the efficiency and realize the automation of the operation, a new alkali treatment and purification process of cubic boron nitride is needed to be provided so as to overcome the defects in the prior operation.

in the process, the trend of a temperature curve needs to be monitored; the water is boiled in the early stage of alkali boiling, the temperature slowly rises in the water evaporation process, and the slope of the curve of the temperature changing along with the time is relatively stable; when the water is completely evaporated, the temperature is continuously increased, the alkali is in a molten state, the hexagonal boron nitride and the alkali start to react, and the slope of the curve of the temperature along with the change of time is slowly increased; when the reaction of the hexagonal boron nitride is finished, the cubic boron nitride starts to perform reverse conversion, the temperature suddenly increases in an accelerated manner, the slope of the curve of the temperature along with the change of time is multiplied, the temperature is set as the alarm temperature of an alarm, the cubic boron nitride starts to react with alkali at the temperature, the heating is immediately stopped, and the alkali boiling process is finished;
the final determination criteria for soda boiling were: taking the slope of the temperature change curve which rises suddenly as a standard for judging the completion of alkali boiling, and setting the temperature at the moment as the alarm temperature of an alarm;
specifically, in this embodiment, the slope of the temperature change curve is recorded, when the alkali is boiled for 1.1h, the slope of the temperature change curve rises suddenly, it is determined that the alkali is boiled at this time, and the thermocouple is turned off;

Comparative example 4
The difference between the comparative example 4 and the example 2 is that when alkali is boiled for 1.1h, the slope of the temperature change curve rises suddenly, then the alkali is boiled for 15min, and then the thermocouple is closed; then, the treatment was carried out by the same method as the cooling, alkali treatment and post-treatment in the step (iii) and the step (iv) in example 2;
the indexes of the purified CBN121 product are tested, the material loss is 13% compared with the weight of the purified CBN121 product after alkali boiling, the surface of the material is totally corroded, the crystal grains are round and smooth, no impurities are seen, although the content of the impurities reaches the standard, the purified CBN121 product is not sharp and cannot be used as a raw material of a cutting tool, but the product is wear-resistant (the product granularity is 80/100, the stacking density is 1.798, the obtained product result is shown in figure 6), and the product can only be used as a wear-resistant material.
Note: in example 2, comparative example 3 and comparative example 4, the stacking criteria for the CBN121 product with a particle size of 80/100 are:
