Definitions
- the present invention relates to the preparation of powders of transition metals by electrolysis of their halides in baths of molten salts.
- the studies undertaken for the development of the invention were carried out in a cell comprising, on the one hand a metal tank containing the molten bath, on the other hand a also metallic cover ensuring the sealing of the system and having various orifices allowing, among other things, the sealed and isolated passage of the anode and cathode devices immersed in the bath, the supply of this bath with the halide of the metal to be produced and the extraction of the halogen released at the anode.
- the fluorine / metal ratio is between 3 and 20. However, preferably, the best results are obtained with the range of values between 6 and 12.
- the anode device further comprises a diaphragm which separates the bath into two compartments, an anode compartment which contains only traces of Titanium in solution, and a cathode compartment in which the content of dissolved Titanium is kept constant by a continuous supply device.
- the bath consists of an equimolecular mixture of potassium chlorides and sodium molten at 750 ° C.
- the halide introduced is titanium tetrachloride.
- the content of titanium dissolved in the bath is 4%.
- the deposition voltage of titanium measured by drawing the voltage / current curve, is 2.15 V.
- the easiest to reduce of the alkali in this case, the sodium is 3.2 V.
- the deposits collected on the cathode are in the form of well crystallized dendrites which can reach several centimeters and which meet the following analysis in ppm:
- the electrical efficiency is greater than 90%.
- the electrical efficiency is greater than 85%.
- This example relates to Hafnium.
- the halide introduced this time being hafnium tetrachloride, at the content of 25%, under normal conditions.
- electrolysis i.e. with a current density of 1.0 A / cm 2
- the deposition voltage of Hafnium is 2.2 V. and deposits are obtained in the form of relatively massive dendrites ( cauliflower appearance) with an electrical efficiency greater than 95%.
- F- ions are introduced into the bath by means of the addition of sodium fluoride for example, so that the fluorine / Hafnium molecular ratio is equal to 12, under the same electrolysis conditions, the voltage of Hafnium deposit goes to 2.90 V and after washing the deposit, a powder is obtained which passes almost entirely through a sieve of 200 microns opening and which meets the following analysis in ppm:
