Description

The preparation method of plate-like aluminum oxide granule

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of plate-like aluminum oxide (Al₂O ₃) preparation method of particle, relate to or rather a kind of tabular Al₂O ₃The preparation of particle and the method for size Control thereof belong to field of fine chemical.

Background technology

Tabular Al₂O ₃Particle is a kind of important raw material of industry. Tabular Al in complex phase ceramic₂O ₃Can increase substantially crack deflection and bridging effect in the porcelain body as a kind of flexibilizer, improve the toughness of material. Utilize tabular Al₂O ₃High-termal conductivity, in the plastic electronic encapsulating material, introduce tabular Al₂O ₃Can increase substantially the thermal conductivity of plastics, improve the radiating effect of electronic device. In addition, tabular Al₂O ₃Particle is still by the standby texturing Al of template-mediated grain growth legal system₂O ₃The template particles that pottery is indispensable. Studies show that recently some texturing Al₂O ₃The comprehensive mechanical property of pottery is far above common Al₂O ₃Pottery, its intensity can reach about 800MPa, and its toughness reaches 10-11 MPam^1/2 At present about tabular Al₂O ₃The preparation method of particle mainly contains the auxiliary mass transferring in gas phase Al of AlF₂O ₃Plate-like particles growth method and [the Richard F.Hill such as molten-salt growth method take al inorganic salt as raw material, Robert Danzer and Robert T.Paine.Synthesis of Alumina Oxide Platelets, J.Am.Ceram.Soc. 84 (3) 514-20,2001, S.Hashimoto, and A.Yamaguchi.Synthesis of α-Al₂O ₃Platelets Using Sodium Sulfate Flux, J.Mater.Res., 14 (12) 4667-72,1999]. But from existing report, the tabular Al of gained₂O ₃The size of particle is thicker (5～33 μ m) generally, and is not only inhomogeneous, and agglomeration is often more serious. This is unfavorable for the subsequent applications of material. In addition, still there is not a kind of feasible method to the tabular Al of gained at present₂O ₃Particle size is accurately controlled.

Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of tabular Al₂O ₃The preparation method of particle is to overcome current tabular Al₂O ₃The problems referred to above that exist in the preparation of particle.

The enforcement of the object of the invention be the aluminium salt that decomposes be that raw material has prepared size evenly by molten-salt growth method and approximately has been the tabular Al that monodisperse status distributes₂O ₃Particle, and by tabular Al in the control preparation process₂O ₃The addition of crystal seed has been realized Al in the end product₂O ₃The accurate control of plate-like particles size. This is to tabular Al₂O ₃Production and the application of powder have great importance.

Specifically, at first aluminium salt is calcined under proper temperature and made it the part thermal decomposition, take the aluminium salt of decomposed as Al₂O ₃Then presoma mixes with the fused-salt medium (and crystal seed) of appropriate amount. After drying, at high temperature calcining. Fused-salt medium is removed in washing, can obtain tabular Al₂O ₃Particle. Main technologic parameters is as follows:

1. used aluminium salt is at high temperature can be decomposed into Al₂O ₃Sulfate or the nitrate of aluminium, as be Al₂(SO ₄) ₃、 NH ₄Al(SO ₄) ₂And Al (NO₃) ₃In a kind of, so-called part heat decomposition temperature refers to the temperature that aluminium salt begins to decompose in the crucible of heating

2. the inorganic salts that use as fused-salt medium are Na₂SO ₄、K ₂SO ₄, one or more the salt-mixture among NaCl and the KCl; Addition is that aluminium salt is decomposed into Al fully₂O ₃After, Al in the reaction system₂O ₃And the volume ratio of fused-salt medium is 1: 5-1: between 10.

3. tabular Al₂O ₃The addition of crystal seed is that aluminium salt is decomposed into Al fully₂O ₃Al in the afterreaction system₂O ₃The 5-40 wt% of total amount.

4. the molten salt system calcining heat is 1100-1300 ℃, and the reaction time is 1-3 hour.

Outstanding advantages of the present invention is:

With the aluminium salt of decomposed as Al₂O ₃Prepared tabular Al originates₂O ₃Particle is tiny evenly, and almost without reuniting, particle size is between sub-micron is to several microns. Again by adding tabular Al₂O ₃Crystal seed can accurately be controlled tabular Al in the end product₂O ₃The size of particle. Material preparation process is simple, is suitable for industrialized mass production. (seeing embodiment 3 for details)
