Description

High-purity submicron-order Mg 2 Si preparation method and continuous vacuum rotary kiln
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnesium silicide preparation, in particular to a high-purity submicron-level Mg 2 Si preparation method and continuous vacuum rotary kiln.
Background
Magnesium silicide (Mg) 2 Si) is an alloy compound, is an important industrial raw material, and is mainly used for producing silane, absorbing oxygen and releasing hydrogen as a medicinal carrier or used as a raw material of a silicon-carbon negative electrode material and the like. The synthetic method of magnesium silicide is to mix silicon powder and magnesium powder, heat to about 500-650 deg.C under protective atmosphere or vacuum to carry on alloying reaction, produce magnesium silicide, its ideal reaction formula is: 2Mg+Si→Mg 2 Si Δg= -75.6 kJ/mol. Because the alloying reaction is exothermic, the temperature in the production process is very easy to be uncontrollable, and the purity and the yield of the generated magnesium silicide can be directly influenced by the temperature in the reaction process. In another aspect the reactants for silicon and magnesium further comprise: mg of 9 Si 5 、MgSi、Mg 3 Si 2 And the like, the compounds with low magnesium content have poor stability and are easy to react with water oxygen in the air to generate silicon dioxide and magnesium oxide, so that the final product is impure. ImpureMg 2 Si in turn affects the performance and safety of the preparation of silane or elemental silicon materials.
In the prior art, mg 2 The synthesis methods generally used for Si include batch production methods and continuous synthesis methods. The batch production method mainly utilizes a fixed bed batch reactor, but because of the limitation of the reactor, the batch production method requires procedures of charging, heating, heat preservation, cooling, material taking and the like, so that the batch production method has low efficiency, high energy consumption and high danger. Chinese patent CN102574818A discloses a method for preparing magnesium silicide powder, which comprises ball milling magnesium powder and silicon powder under stirring, and heat treating at 450-600 ℃ under argon condition to obtain magnesium silicide. However, the temperature is not easy to control during the preparation, the problems of overhigh temperature, high risk and the like exist, and the prepared magnesium silicide has large particles and needs to be subjected to subsequent ball milling and crushing and other treatments.
The continuous synthesis process is easier to control than the intermittent synthesis process in temperature, good in product quality, high in yield, and greatly improved in safety, and can realize large-scale continuous production of magnesium silicide. Thus, the continuous synthesis method becomes an important production method of magnesium silicide. Chinese patent CN2011101190283 discloses a method and apparatus for producing magnesium silicide, which uses a tank reactor to realize continuous production of magnesium silicide by adding magnesium powder into silicon powder, and alleviate the problem of magnesium silicide agglomeration during reaction due to local overheating caused by exothermic material reaction. However, the magnesium vapor leaks, and raw materials and clinker in the reaction tank are mixed, which easily results in low reaction efficiency. Thus, how to safely and efficiently prepare high-purity Mg 2 Si, realize Mg 2 The large-scale continuous production of Si is still the current research focus and production difficulty.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a high-purity submicron-order Mg 2 Si preparation method and continuous vacuum rotary kiln, lower reaction temperature can be controlled in the production process, and high-purity Mg can be continuously and efficiently prepared 2 Si; the higher vacuum degree is controlled in the reaction process, hydrogen, argon and the like are not needed, and the method is safe and reliable; and the prepared Mg 2 The grain size of Si is small,the powder does not agglomerate, does not need to be subjected to secondary crushing treatment, and greatly improves the production safety.
In one aspect, the invention provides a high purity submicron grade Mg 2 The preparation method of Si comprises the following specific steps:
step S1: mixing magnesium powder and silicon powder in a mixer according to the mass ratio, and transferring the mixture to a vacuum sealing feeding bin of a continuous vacuum rotary kiln after uniform mixing;
step S2: controlling the maximum filling amount of the mixture in the furnace, conveying the mixture of magnesium powder and silicon powder into a furnace body of a continuous vacuum rotary kiln through spiral feeding, and discharging the material through a heating zone, a heat preservation zone, a cooling zone and a cooling zone under the condition that the furnace body keeps rotating and vacuum, wherein the produced material is the product Mg after the material passes through a vacuum sealing discharging bin 2 Si;
The temperature of the heating area in the step S2 is 300-400 ℃, and the operation is carried out for 1-2h; the temperature of the heat preservation area is 520-580 ℃, and the operation is carried out for 1-4 hours; the temperature of the cooling area is 300-400 ℃, and the operation is carried out for 1-3 hours; the temperature of the cooling area is below 80 ℃ and the operation is carried out for 1-3h.
Preferably, in the step S1, the mass ratio of the magnesium powder to the silicon powder is 1.72-1.85:1. For example, the mass ratio of the silicon powder to the magnesium powder may be: 1.72:1, 1.75:1, 1.77:1, 1.8:1, 1.82:1, 1.85:1, but are not limited to the recited values, as other non-recited values within the range of values are equally applicable.
Preferably, the particle size of the magnesium powder is more than or equal to 60 meshes, and the purity is more than or equal to 98%.
Preferably, the grain diameter of the silicon powder is less than or equal to 10um, and the purity is more than or equal to 98 percent.
Preferably, the vacuum degree in the furnace of the continuous vacuum rotary kiln is 0.001-10Pa, and the rotating speed of the furnace body is 1-6 rpm/min.
Preferably, the maximum filling amount of the mixture in the furnace of the continuous vacuum rotary kiln is less than or equal to 15 percent.
The magnesium silicide produced has high activity, and is very easy to burn when the particle size is too small. In the prior art, therefore, coarse metal silicon powder is generally used as a raw material, and is reacted with magnesium powder under argon to generate magnesium silicide with large particle size, and then the magnesium silicide is subjected to treatments such as crushing, sieving and the like. However, when the coarse metal silicon powder is used as a raw material, the activity is low compared with the fine silicon powder, the reaction rate is slower, and higher reaction temperature and high energy consumption are required when the coarse metal silicon powder reacts with magnesium powder. The invention uses the silicon powder with the grain diameter less than or equal to 10um, and the silicon powder with the finer grain diameter has higher activity and low reaction temperature. The vacuum condition of the invention is especially matched, the alloying reaction can be carried out at a lower temperature, the problems of overhigh temperature and the like in the alloying reaction can be effectively avoided, and the generated magnesium silicide is submicron and does not need to be crushed and other treatments.
Under the high vacuum condition, the saturated vapor pressure of the magnesium powder is low, the reaction activation energy is low, the magnesium powder can effectively react with silicon powder at a lower temperature, and the problems of magnesium silicide thermal decomposition, non-stoichiometric ratio generation and the like caused by overhigh temperature (Mg is often generated when the temperature is higher) are effectively avoided 3 Si 2 An iso-low magnesium compound). The silicon powder used is small in particle size, so that submicron magnesium silicide is directly generated, and subsequent treatments such as crushing and the like are avoided; however, superfine magnesium silicide is easy to explode in air, so that the cooling section is specially arranged in the invention, the quenching of the prepared magnesium silicide is avoided, and the stability of the magnesium silicide is greatly improved.
The inventor finds that under the condition of the invention, if the rotating speed of the continuous rotary kiln body is too high during the reaction, powder is seriously adhered, so that part of silicon powder and magnesium powder can not react, thereby generating clamped raw materials and affecting the product quality. However, if the rotation speed is too slow, mg is added due to the rise of temperature 2 Si is decomposed to generate impurities, mg 2 The purity of Si is reduced, and the yield is reduced; and heat accumulation is easily caused to cause caking of the product, so that the speed of the rotary furnace needs to be controlled within a reasonable range.
If the filling amount is too large, the raw materials are easily clamped, and the product quality is affected. The raw materials are easy to accumulate, heat generated during the reaction of silicon powder and magnesium powder cannot be released, so that the temperature in the furnace body is increased, the higher the temperature is, the faster the decomposition speed of magnesium silicide is, and the more magnesium vapor overflows; and as the temperature is further increased, the pyrolysis products are further decomposed into silicon and magnesium. Thereby influencing the product composition and leading the finally prepared magnesium silicide to have more impurities; and the low-melting point eutectic is easy to form, and the molten material is combined with other solid matters, so that the quality of a product is affected, the prepared magnesium silicide is agglomerated and the particle size is enlarged, and the subsequent treatment difficulty and the subsequent danger are increased.

In another aspect, the invention provides a continuous vacuum rotary kiln for carrying out the above high purity submicron Mg 2 The preparation method of Si, the vacuum rotary kiln comprises the following steps: the spiral feeder and discharger are three-stage vacuum system comprising mechanical pump, roots pump and diffusion pump, dynamic and static sealing system comprising magnetic fluid and mechanical sealing structure system, furnace rotating system comprising motor speed reducing disc, furnace, etc., temperature controlling system comprising heating wire, furnace heat insulating layer and temperature controlling instrument, vacuum feeding bin, vacuum discharging bin, automatic control system and relevant parts.
Preferably, the three-stage vacuum system and the dynamic and static sealing system can keep the set vacuum degree of the continuous rotary kiln in the high-temperature rotation process, and can also keep the set vacuum degree of the material inlet and outlet bins, and the vacuum pressure rise rate is less than or equal to 1 Pa/h.

Preferably, the continuous vacuum rotary kiln is provided with a metal telescopic pipe and a moving trolley to buffer the problem of expansion of the high-temperature furnace pipe in the length direction.
Because of the hazards of magnesium powder and magnesium silicide powder, safety is a priority for its use and synthesis. The common magnesium silicide synthesis is intermittent synthesis under the protection of argon, and the argon is safer, but the consumption of the argon is larger, the oxygen content is still higher, the reactivity of magnesium powder and silicon powder is low, the temperature needs to be increased, and otherwise, the production danger is increased. There is also a batch vacuum furnace, i.e., a static synthesis reaction, but the reaction of silicon and magnesium is an alloy intercalation process, the volume of the resultant is 2-4 times that of the raw material, and a large amount of heat is released, so that a furnace spraying phenomenon often occurs under static vacuum, resulting in impure final products. The continuous vacuum rotary kiln disclosed by the invention has the characteristics of safety and low-temperature high-efficiency production, the danger of an oxidant to the process is controlled by controlling the vacuum degree in a material inlet and outlet bin and a furnace, meanwhile, the material is effectively turned over, so that the material is not sintered, hardened and sprayed, and silicon powder and magnesium powder sequentially pass through a heating section, a heat preservation section, a cooling section and a cooling section to obtain the high-safety submicron-level magnesium silicide powder in one step.
The beneficial effects are that:
(1) According to the invention, magnesium powder and silicon powder with specific particle sizes are used, and the preparation device is matched, so that the silicon powder and the magnesium powder are subjected to one-step continuous reaction at a lower temperature to directly generate submicron-level high-purity magnesium silicide by simultaneously controlling vacuum conditions, temperature, running time, rotating speed and other conditions, the production risk is greatly reduced, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.
(2) The invention directly generates submicron high-purity magnesium silicide, which can be obtained without crushing oversized magnesium silicide for multiple times in other modes, and the product keeps high purity and small grain diameter.

The process and the device cooperate to ensure that the produced magnesium silicide has high purity and is not easy to sinter, and the phenomena of expansion and non-uniformity brought by furnace spraying during the synthesis of the magnesium silicide are eliminated.
(4) The invention does not need to use a large amount of expensive high-purity argon or hydrogen-argon mixed gas as the shielding gas, so that the production cost is low and the production is safer and more reliable.

Performance testing
1. Visual inspection: ideal Mg 2 Si is a blue material, white metal magnesium exists if no reaction exists, and yellow silicon and metal magnesium particles exist if excessive reaction exists.
2、Mg 2 Si purity test: the material was tested using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and the spectra were refined, wherein magnesium was not quantitatively analyzed by XRD due to extremely uneven dispersion, and only visual inspection was possible.
3. Microcosmic morphology testing: observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
4. Particle size testing: tested by a laser particle size analyzer.
The products of examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-8 were subjected to the above performance tests, the test results of which are shown in Table 1 below.
TABLE 1
The visual inspection, purity and particle size test results of the example and comparative products are shown in table 1. As shown in FIG. 5, which is a photograph of the product of example 1, it can be seen that the high purity magnesium silicide is a dark blue material, and has no impurities such as white, yellow, etc. FIG. 6 is an SEM image of example 1, which shows that the synthesized magnesium silicide is relatively loose, has a primary particle size of about 100-400nm, and shows that the synthesized magnesium silicide has a D10 of 208 nm, a D50 of 411nm, and a D90 of 879nm, and exhibits typical submicron-level powder characteristics, as determined by laser particle size analysis (laser particle size diagram, see FIG. 7). The XRD pattern of example 1 is shown in FIG. 8, and it can be seen that high purity Mg is present on XRD 2 Si peak, no other impurity peak. Due to Mg 2 The purity of Si is more difficult to determine in other ways, so it is analyzed by XRD refinement, the refinement results fit as shown in FIG. 9, the results are shown in Table 1, the product of example 1 is composed of Mg 2 Two phases of Si and MgO, wherein Mg 2 Si is as high as 99.21%, mgO depends on the raw material and oxygen in the system, and cannot be completely eliminated.
In examples 2-4, mg with purity of 98% or more was obtained by changing the parameters within the scope of the claims 2 Si is relatively pure because of no overburning and no raw materials due to proper temperature. As shown in FIG. 10, the XRD pattern for example 4, mg 2 Si content is up to 98.4%. The results of the laser particle sizer of example 2 are shown in FIG. 11, with D50 of 651nm. The grain size and purity are affected by the grain size, vacuum degree and temperature of the silicon powder as raw material.
When the amount of magnesium (comparative example 1) was increased, although the purity was as high as 98.27%, the remaining magnesium accumulated in the material due to the excessive amount of magnesium and was unevenly dispersed, resulting in a certain error in the result, and the true purity was lower than 98.27%. And because alloying occurs faster, some Mg is produced 3 Si 2 . When silicon powder of large particle size (comparative example 2) is used, the product is blue, but due to magnesium entering the central travel of the silicon particlesLengthening, the existence of limiting steps, insufficient alloying reaction and incapacity of timely discharging central heat, and Mg is generated 3 Si 2 . SEM (fig. 12) and laser particle size analysis (fig. 13) of the product of comparative example 2 also showed that the product was relatively coarse, a micron-sized material, which would affect the application of the subsequent material. When the holding temperature was increased and the run time and vacuum were reduced (comparative example 3), the XRD refinement of the product was as shown in FIG. 14, and it was found that Mg 2 Si has begun to decompose, producing 16.18% of yellow elemental Si with an increase in MgO. When the temperature of the holding zone is lowered (comparative example 4), the alloying reaction rate becomes lower, less blue color exists in the product, and magnesium and silicon which are not reacted exist, and the particle size analysis also shows that the particle size of the raw materials is high. If no cooling zone is provided (comparative example 5), mg is caused 3 Si 2 As a result, the low-magnesium alloy is unstable and accumulates to some extent, and may ignite due to friction and static electricity, so that the presence of the cooling zone can eliminate Mg 3 Si 2 . While if the rotary kiln speed was lowered continuously (comparative example 6), it was found that Mg was generated again 2 Si is decomposed because the material accumulation cannot dissipate heat, the lower the rotation speed is, the higher the Si simple substance content is, and meanwhile, the D50 of the sintered material is increased. If the conventional rotary kiln is used for preparing Mg 2 Si (comparative example 7), the product was found to be pale blue and had a purity of only 95.70% after temperature elevation, yielding more MgO, si and Mg 3 Si 2 And D50 of the sintered product increased to 2.814 μm. If the direct vacuum batch furnace is adopted without rotary sintering (comparative example 8), the furnace spraying phenomenon is unavoidable, namely, the material is sprayed to the whole hearth, the vacuum pump is always operated, the vacuum system is seriously polluted, and the proportion of the material is not uniform after the material is sprayed, so that the purity of the product is not high, and even Mg is generated 2 Decomposition of Si.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and not for limiting the same; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some or all of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit of the invention.
