The traditional preparation method of anhydrous scandium trichloride introduces other substances into a reaction system, so that the impurity elements of the finished scandium trichloride are higher, the product purity is low, a reaction device is complex, the reaction conditions are harsh, and the industrial large-scale production is not facilitated. The anhydrous scandium trichloride is prepared by adopting a process of calcining scandium chloride salt at a high temperature by a wet method, the water and impurity removal processes are complex, the product is easy to hydrolyze, and the high-purity anhydrous scandium chloride is not easy to obtain. The inventor finds in experiments that the key point of preparing the high-purity anhydrous scandium trichloride is that not only is that a proper process means is needed to improve the reaction efficiency of the chlorination reaction, but also the atmosphere in the reaction furnace is needed to be controlled, and inert atmosphere or vacuum is used, so that byproducts are avoided from being generated by hydrolysis of the product.
Based on the above, the invention provides a dry preparation process of anhydrous scandium trichloride, which aims to solve the problems that the purity of the anhydrous scandium trichloride in the traditional dry preparation process is insufficient, the conditions are harsh, and scandium trichloride is easy to decompose in the wet process during water removal.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, a method for preparing anhydrous scandium trichloride according to an embodiment includes the following steps:
step S110: calcining scandium oxide powder in a hydrogen atmosphere to prepare scandium hydride.
Under the condition of saturated hydrogen atmosphere, scandium oxide powder is reduced into scandium metal by hydrogen, and the scandium metal and the hydrogen further generate hydride. By adopting hydrogen reduction conditions, on one hand, other hetero elements are not introduced, high-purity metal scandium is obtained through generating scandium hydride and then through vacuumizing, heating and decomposing, and on the other hand, fine and uniform metal powder, rather than metal particles, can be further obtained through generating the hydride, and finally, powdery anhydrous scandium trichloride is obtained. Other reduction conditions, such as C reduction or CO reduction, are adopted, and although metal scandium can be obtained, other impurities are introduced, so that the purity of the obtained anhydrous scandium trichloride is lower, in addition, the obtained anhydrous scandium trichloride is in a granular form by adopting C reduction or CO reduction, and the obtained anhydrous scandium trichloride is in a powdery form and needs to be further processed in a glove box, so that the process difficulty is increased.
In some embodiments, the temperature of calcination is 400 ℃ to 900 ℃. In a specific example, the calcination temperature may be, but is not limited to, 400 ℃, 450 ℃, 500 ℃, 550 ℃, 600 ℃, 650 ℃, 680 ℃, 700 ℃, 720 ℃, 750 ℃, 780 ℃, 800 ℃, 850 ℃, 900 ℃ or a range consisting of any two of these values. Preferably, the calcination temperature is 650-800 ℃.
In some embodiments, the calcination time is from 1h to 5h. In a specific example, the time of calcination may be, but is not limited to, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.2h, 2.5h, 2.8h, 3h, 3.5h, 4h, 4.5h, 5h, or a range consisting of any two of these values. Preferably, the calcination time is 2 to 3 hours.
In some embodiments, the scandium oxide powder has a purity of 90% to 99%.
In some embodiments, the scandium oxide powder D 50 The grain diameter is 40-500 μm. In a specific example, the scandium oxide powder D 50 The particle diameters are 40 μm, 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm,250 μm, 300 μm, 350 μm, 400 μm, 450 μm, 500 μm or any two of these values. Experiments prove that the preparation method of the anhydrous scandium trichloride in the embodiment does not need to carry out a complex pretreatment process on raw materials. The pretreatment has little significance for improving the purity of the anhydrous scandium trichloride, and the reaction condition of the preparation method of the anhydrous scandium trichloride in the embodiment is relatively simple, the operation steps are simple, the further industrial production is facilitated, and the method has great practical prospect.
In some embodiments, step S110 includes: calcining scandium oxide powder at 400-900 ℃ in hydrogen atmosphere for 1-5 h to prepare scandium hydride. Further, step S110 includes: calcining scandium oxide powder at 650-800 ℃ in hydrogen atmosphere for 2-3 h to prepare scandium hydride.
Step S120: under the condition of vacuumizing, heating and decomposing scandium hydride to prepare scandium powder.
In some embodiments, in step S120, the temperature of thermal decomposition is 100 ℃ to 800 ℃. In a specific example, the temperature of the thermal decomposition may be, but is not limited to, 100 ℃, 200 ℃, 300 ℃, 400 ℃, 500 ℃, 600 ℃, 700 ℃, 800 ℃, or a range consisting of any two of these values. Preferably, the temperature of thermal decomposition is 200℃to 700 ℃.
In some of these embodiments, step S120 includes: under the condition of vacuumizing, the hydride of scandium is heated from 10 ℃ to 200 ℃ to 500 ℃ to 700 ℃ for heating decomposition, and the heating rate is 5 ℃/min to 10 ℃/min. In a specific example, the heating rate is 5 ℃/min, 6 ℃/min, 7 ℃/min, 8 ℃/min, 9 ℃/min, 10 ℃/min, or a range comprised of any two of these values. Preferably, in one of the embodiments, step S120 includes: under the condition of vacuumizing, the hydride of scandium is heated from 200 ℃ to 700 ℃ for thermal decomposition, and the heating rate is 5 ℃/min.
The slow heating mode is more conducive to decomposing the hydride into fine powder, and the hydride is directly heated to a higher temperature and then introduced, so that large particles are generated due to incomplete decomposition, and the hidden danger in safety is caused.
It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, after the calcination of step S110 is completed, the temperature is reduced to room temperature or to room temperature to 200 ℃, and then the anti-hydride is decomposed by heating under the condition of vacuum. In this way, the hydride is decomposed into fine and uniform powder, and the operation is safer.
In the present embodiment, the conditions for evacuation are not particularly limited, and the evacuation may be maintained continuously.
Step S130: calcining scandium powder in hydrogen atmosphere repeatedly, and then heating and decomposing at least once under the condition of vacuumizing to prepare purified scandium powder.
In some embodiments, the step of calcining scandium powder in the hydrogen atmosphere is the same as the step of calcining in step S110, and will not be described again. The step of thermal decomposition under the vacuuming condition is the same as the step of thermal decomposition in step S120, and will not be described again. It will be appreciated that in step S130, the temperature and time of calcination may be the same as or different from the temperature and time in step S110, and only need be within the temperature and time ranges. Similarly, in step S130, the temperature for thermal decomposition under the vacuum condition may be the same as or different from the temperature in step S120, and may be within the above range.
The purity of the scandium powder can be further improved through the steps. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, step S130 may not be performed if the purity requirements for the scandium powder are not high.
It is understood that the step of repeating calcination in a hydrogen atmosphere and then thermal decomposition under vacuum conditions at least once means to calcine in a hydrogen atmosphere and then thermal decomposition under vacuum conditions into one cycle, which is performed once, twice, three times, etc. in step S130. Further, the scandium powder is repeatedly calcined in the hydrogen atmosphere, and then is heated and decomposed twice to three times under the condition of vacuumizing. Step S140: and (3) reacting the purified scandium powder with a chlorinating agent to prepare anhydrous scandium trichloride.
In some embodiments, the chlorine reagent is selected from any one or a combination of several of chlorine and hydrogen chloride. Other chlorinating agents such as carbon tetrachloride are adopted, carbon elements are introduced, and the prepared scandium trichloride has obviously lower purity and larger particles. Preferably, the chlorinating agent is chlorine gas. Experiments prove that the purity of the prepared scandium trichloride can be further improved by adopting chlorine to carry out chlorination reaction.
In some embodiments, step S140 includes: igniting the purified scandium powder and a chlorinating agent, and heating the scandium powder for 2 to 3 hours at intervals of 30 minutes until the reaction is complete. In the actual process, scandium trichloride is white in color and scandium powder is gray, so that the end point of the reaction can be judged according to the color change. The ignition device needs to be started to ignite at the beginning of the reaction, and the reaction can be spontaneously performed without heating after the beginning of the reaction. After 2 to 3 hours of reaction, the reactor was heated every 30 minutes to maintain the reaction rate until the scandium powder was completely reacted.
In some embodiments, the excess chlorine gas from the reaction may be absorbed with an ice water bath of calcium chloride.
The preparation method of the anhydrous scandium trichloride has at least the following advantages:
(1) According to the preparation method of the anhydrous scandium trichloride, the scandium oxide is reduced through hydrogenation, then the high-purity scandium powder is obtained through vacuumizing and decomposing, and then the impurity element detection exceeding result of the product due to the fact that other impurities are introduced in the preparation process of the product is avoided through the direct chlorination mode, so that the purity of the prepared anhydrous scandium trichloride is greatly improved.
(2) According to the preparation method of anhydrous scandium chloride, the purity and the reactivity of scandium powder are improved through the cyclic operation of adding hydrogenation reduction and then vacuum calcination decomposition in the preparation process, so that the efficiency of a subsequent chlorination reaction process is improved, the energy consumption required by the reaction is saved, and the production cost is reduced.
(3) According to the preparation method of anhydrous scandium chloride, uniform and fine scandium powder can be obtained through the reduction-decomposition circulating steps, so that the generated anhydrous scandium chloride is also in a powdery state rather than in a granular state, and the actual application is facilitated.
(4) The reaction condition and equipment of the preparation method of anhydrous scandium chloride are relatively simple, the operation steps are simple, the further industrial production is facilitated, and the preparation method has great practical prospect.

In comparative example 1, the prepared scandium trichloride has lower purity and larger granularity by adopting a traditional dry process, and the scandium trichloride is required to be crushed in a glove box in the subsequent process to obtain powdery scandium trichloride. In comparative example 2, carbon monoxide reduction was used instead of hydrogen reduction, and the other steps were the same, and the purity of scandium trichloride prepared was significantly lower than in the examples.
The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
