Definitions

  • This invention is about making silicon carbide.
  • silicon carbide is made by heating a powdered mixture of high-grade silica sand and high-grade carbon such as anthracite or petroleum coke. Temperatures of 2000 - 2500 C have to be sustained for a day or more, and the yield is far short of 100%. We tentatively believe that gaseous silicon species, on contacting a carbon particle, form silicon carbide which thus soon envelopes the particle. Further conversion of that particle must then depend on solid-state diffusion through its silicon-carbide envelope, hence the slow reaction and high temperatures required.
  • high-grade silica sand and high-grade carbon such as anthracite or petroleum coke.
  • the invention is making silicon carbide by heating a mixture of silica with a carbonaceous material at from 1350°C to 1550 0 C under a partial pressure of carbon monoxide, measured in atmospheres, not exceeding ten raised to the power (8.6 - 15600/T) where T is the temperature in degrees Kelvin, the carbonaceous material being such that a specimen thereof loses (by oxidation) at least 40mg/cm 2 /sec of carbon in excess carbon dioxide at 1 atmosphere pressure at 1450 C.
  • the silicon carbide so made is in the form of fine particles of ⁇ -phase, which has a cubic crystal structure.
  • a preferred temperature range having regard to such factors as today's technical capabilities, relative costs and interest rates, is from 1400°C to 1500°C, and a most preferred range is from 1420°C to 1480°C, with an optimum at around 1450°C, where complete reaction may typically take some 40 minutes (compared with 10 minutes at. 1500°C, and a few hours for an incomplete reaction at 1350 C).
  • the maximum partial pressure of carbon monoxide which can be used according to the invention is as follows:
  • the carbonaceous material may for example be coal (including for example lignite), rice husks (which have a negative cost at present, inasmuch as contractors are paid to dump them), and coconut charcoal.
  • the carbonaceous material must not be any of the following (for example): petroleum coke without additions, high-grade anthracite, and spectroscopically pure graphite without additions; the reactivity of these is too low.
  • Electrode graphite is a borderline material, which it is on the whole preferred to eschew.
  • the carbonaceous material must have a reactivity of at least 40mg/cm /sec on the basis explained above, and the reactivities of coconut charcoal and spectroscopically pure graphite are 70 and 3mg/cm 2 /sec respectively on the same basis.
  • the silicon carbide made according to the invention may be exploited, for instance, as a raw material in the refractories and abrasives industries.
  • the crucible charge then contained cubic ⁇ -silicon carbide of.good purity in fine powder form, and contained no silica (cristobalite) according to X-ray diffraction investigations; in other words, all the silicon had been converted.
  • the furnace was evacuated and then heated to 1450°C and its bed was fluidised with excess pure carbon dioxide at 1 atmosphere.
  • the Buffalo Nuts began to oxidise according to the reaction C + CO 2 ⁇ 2CO, and after a set time the heating and gas were stopped.
  • the weight loss of the Buffalo Nuts was found to be 80mg/cm 2 /sec.
