Description

金屬鈧的製備方法Preparation method of metal tantalum

本揭露關於金屬鈧的製備方法。The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing metal platinum.

現有的金屬鈧製備方法一般採用鈣熱還原法與熔鹽電解法兩種。鈣熱還原法所使用的原料如金屬鈣,其純度低且不易保存,反應溫度變化極大,造成產物如金屬鈧的純度過低(低於99 wt%)及產率低之問題。熔鹽電解法使用鹵化鈧作為原料,原料對於電解槽及電極材料腐蝕問題嚴重,仍無法有效應用於工業化生產。The existing methods for preparing pn are generally calcination and molten salt electrolysis. The raw materials used in the calcination method, such as metallic calcium, are of low purity and difficult to preserve. The reaction temperature varies greatly, resulting in the problem that the purity of the product, such as metallic pn, is too low (less than 99 wt%) and the yield is low. The molten salt electrolysis method uses pn halides as raw materials, which have serious corrosion problems on electrolytic cells and electrode materials, and still cannot be effectively applied to industrial production.

綜上所述,目前亟需新的方法製備金屬鈧。In summary, new methods for preparing metal tantalum are urgently needed.

本揭露一實施例提供之金屬鈧的製備方法,包括:混合鋁粉與氟化鈧粉,以形成混合物;在真空環境加熱混合物,使鋁粉與氟化鈧粉反應形成氟化鋁氣體與金屬鈧;以及抽氣移除氟化鋁氣體,以得金屬鈧。The present disclosure discloses a method for preparing metal plutonium, comprising: mixing aluminum powder and plutonium fluoride powder to form a mixture; heating the mixture in a vacuum environment to allow the aluminum powder and the plutonium fluoride powder to react to form aluminum fluoride gas and metal plutonium; and removing the aluminum fluoride gas by vacuuming to obtain metal plutonium.

在一些實施例中,鋁粉與氟化鈧粉的重量比為0.27至0.4。In some embodiments, the weight ratio of aluminum powder to fluorinated polyurethane powder is 0.27 to 0.4.

在一些實施例中,真空環境的壓力大於0.1 Pa且小於1 Pa。In some embodiments, the pressure of the vacuum environment is greater than 0.1 Pa and less than 1 Pa.

在一些實施例中,加熱混合物的步驟包括第一階段與第二階段,其中第一階段的溫度為900℃至1500℃,且第二階段的溫度為1300℃至1800℃。In some embodiments, the step of heating the mixture includes a first stage and a second stage, wherein the temperature of the first stage is 900° C. to 1500° C., and the temperature of the second stage is 1300° C. to 1800° C.

在一些實施例中,第一階段歷時20分鐘至2小時,且第二階段歷時20分鐘至2小時。In some embodiments, the first phase lasts from 20 minutes to 2 hours, and the second phase lasts from 20 minutes to 2 hours.

在一些實施例中,加熱混合物的步驟為一段製程,其溫度為1300℃至1500℃,且歷時40分鐘至4小時。In some embodiments, the step of heating the mixture is a process with a temperature of 1300° C. to 1500° C. and a duration of 40 minutes to 4 hours.

在一些實施例中,金屬鈧的純度為99 wt%至100 wt%。In some embodiments, the purity of metallic plutonium is 99 wt % to 100 wt %.

在一些實施例中,金屬鈧的製備方法更包括將金屬鈧製作為鈧靶材或鈧合金靶材。In some embodiments, the method for preparing metal plutonium further includes making the metal plutonium into a plutonium target or a plutonium alloy target.

本揭露一實施例提供之金屬鈧的製備方法,包括:混合鋁粉與氟化鈧粉,以形成混合物。在一些實施例中,鋁粉與氟化鈧粉的重量比為0.27至0.4。若鋁粉的比例過低,則金屬鈧產物的純度不足。若鋁粉的比例過高,則金屬鈧產物的純度不足。The present disclosure discloses a method for preparing metal pegmatite, comprising: mixing aluminum powder and pegmatite fluoride powder to form a mixture. In some embodiments, the weight ratio of aluminum powder to pegmatite fluoride powder is 0.27 to 0.4. If the ratio of aluminum powder is too low, the purity of the metal pegmatite product is insufficient. If the ratio of aluminum powder is too high, the purity of the metal pegmatite product is insufficient.

上述方法接著在真空環境加熱混合物,使鋁粉與氟化鈧粉反應形成氟化鋁氣體與金屬鈧。舉例來說,鋁粉與氟化鈧粉的反應如下: Al +  ScF 3→  AlF 3+ Sc 氟化鋁可進一步與鋁反應如下: AlF 3+ 2Al  →  3AlF 。 The above method then heats the mixture in a vacuum environment to react the aluminum powder with the fluoride powder to form aluminum fluoride gas and metallic fluoride. For example, the aluminum powder and fluoride powder react as follows: Al + ScF 3 → AlF 3 + Sc Aluminum fluoride can further react with aluminum as follows: AlF 3 + 2Al → 3AlF .

在一些實施例中,真空環境的壓力大於0.1 Pa且小於1 Pa。若真空環境的壓力過大(即真空度不足),則部份的金屬鈧易與氧形成氧化鈧,阻礙還原反應進行而造成金屬鈧產物的純度不足。In some embodiments, the pressure of the vacuum environment is greater than 0.1 Pa and less than 1 Pa. If the pressure of the vacuum environment is too high (i.e., the vacuum degree is insufficient), part of the metal phosphine will easily react with oxygen to form phosphine oxide, which will hinder the reduction reaction and cause the purity of the metal phosphine product to be insufficient.

上述方法接著抽氣移除氟化鋁氣體(如AlF 3與AlF),以得金屬鈧。在一些實施例中,金屬鈧的純度為99 wt%至100 wt%,其可進一步製作為鈧靶材或鈧合金靶材如鋁鈧合金靶材。 The above method then removes aluminum fluoride gas (such as AlF 3 and AlF) by evacuation to obtain metal plutonium. In some embodiments, the purity of the metal plutonium is 99 wt% to 100 wt%, which can be further made into a plutonium target or a plutonium alloy target such as an aluminum plutonium alloy target.

在一些實施例中,加熱混合物的步驟包括第一階段與第二階段,其中第一階段的溫度為900℃至1500℃,且第二階段的溫度為1300℃至1800℃。在一些實施例中,第一階段歷時20分鐘至2小時,且第二階段歷時20分鐘至2小時。若第一階段的溫度過低或時間過短,則鋁與氟的反應不充分,造成金屬鈧產物的純度不足。若第一階段的溫度過高或時間過長,則產生大量鋁蒸氣而造成噴濺,且鋁蒸氣無法與氟反應形成氟化鋁。若第二階段的溫度過低或時間過短,則無法有效移除氟化鋁氣體而造成金屬鈧產物的純度不足。若第二階段的溫度過高或時間過長,則金屬鈧的純度不足。In some embodiments, the step of heating the mixture includes a first stage and a second stage, wherein the temperature of the first stage is 900° C. to 1500° C., and the temperature of the second stage is 1300° C. to 1800° C. In some embodiments, the first stage lasts from 20 minutes to 2 hours, and the second stage lasts from 20 minutes to 2 hours. If the temperature of the first stage is too low or the time is too short, the reaction between aluminum and fluorine is insufficient, resulting in insufficient purity of the metal phosphine product. If the temperature of the first stage is too high or the time is too long, a large amount of aluminum vapor is generated to cause splashing, and the aluminum vapor cannot react with fluorine to form aluminum fluoride. If the temperature of the second stage is too low or the time is too short, the aluminum fluoride gas cannot be effectively removed, resulting in insufficient purity of the metal phosphide product. If the temperature of the second stage is too high or the time is too long, the purity of the metal phosphide product is insufficient.

在其他實施例中,加熱混合物的步驟為一段製程,其溫度為1300℃至1500℃,且歷時40分鐘至4小時,其亦可製出金屬鈧。In other embodiments, the step of heating the mixture is a process with a temperature of 1300° C. to 1500° C. and a duration of 40 minutes to 4 hours, which can also produce metal tantalum.

與現有的鈧金屬的製備方法相較,本揭露的方法有以下優點:氟化鋁氣體可抽氣移除,因此不需破真空移除固體副產物。上述揭露的方法不需額外純化步驟,即可形成高純度的鈧金屬(99 wt%至100 wt%)。本揭露的真空環境所需的真空條件(如0.1 Pa至1 Pa)不高,屬於一般真空泵浦所能達到的水準。此外,由於本揭露的製備方法單純而不複雜,有利於大量生產而進一步降低成本。Compared with the existing preparation methods of plutonium, the method disclosed in the present invention has the following advantages: the aluminum fluoride gas can be removed by evacuation, so there is no need to break the vacuum to remove the solid byproducts. The above disclosed method does not require an additional purification step to form high-purity plutonium (99 wt% to 100 wt%). The vacuum conditions (such as 0.1 Pa to 1 Pa) required for the vacuum environment disclosed in the present invention are not high and are within the level that can be achieved by general vacuum pumps. In addition, since the preparation method disclosed in the present invention is simple and uncomplicated, it is conducive to mass production and further reduces costs.

為讓本揭露之上述內容和其他目的、特徵、和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉出較佳實施例作詳細說明如下: [實施例] In order to make the above contents and other purposes, features, and advantages of this disclosure more clearly understood, the following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments as follows: [Embodiment]

比較例1 (鋁粉比例過低) 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與26 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至小於1 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1200 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度升溫至1400 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力小於1 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得45 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為85.2 wt% (由EDX確認)。由於鋁粉與氟化鈧粉的重量比偏低(0.26),因此金屬鈧的純度不足。 Comparative Example 1 (Too low ratio of aluminum powder) 100 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 26 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber. The pressure of the reaction chamber was reduced to less than 1 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to raise the temperature of the raw materials in the crucible to 1200 °C for the first stage of reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the first stage of reaction was completed, the temperature of the reaction chamber was raised to 1400 °C, and the pressure of the reaction chamber was maintained at less than 1 Pa for the second stage of reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the second stage of the reaction was completed, the heating device was turned off and the exhaust device was kept on to remove the aluminum fluoride gas. After the reaction chamber was cooled to room temperature, 45 g of metallic plutonium was obtained with a purity of 85.2 wt% (confirmed by EDX). Since the weight ratio of aluminum powder to plutonium fluoride powder was low (0.26), the purity of metallic plutonium was insufficient.

比較例2 (鋁粉比例過高) 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與45 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至小於1 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1200 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度升溫至1400 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力小於1 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得53 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為62.0 wt% (由EDX確認)。由於鋁粉與氟化鈧粉的重量比高於0.40,過量鋁粉未能完全反應,造成金屬鈧的純度不足。 Comparative Example 2 (Too high ratio of aluminum powder) 100 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 45 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber. The pressure of the reaction chamber was reduced to less than 1 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to raise the temperature of the raw materials in the crucible to 1200 °C for the first stage of reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the first stage of reaction was completed, the temperature of the reaction chamber was raised to 1400 °C, and the pressure of the reaction chamber was maintained at less than 1 Pa for the second stage of reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the second stage of the reaction was completed, the heating device was turned off and the exhaust device was kept on to remove the aluminum fluoride gas. After the reaction chamber was cooled to room temperature, 53 g of metallic plutonium was obtained with a purity of 62.0 wt% (confirmed by EDX). Since the weight ratio of aluminum powder to plutonium fluoride powder was higher than 0.40, the excess aluminum powder failed to react completely, resulting in insufficient purity of metallic plutonium.

比較例3 (第一階段溫度過低) 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與29 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至小於1 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至850 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度升溫至1300 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力小於1 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得48 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為57 wt% (由EDX確認)。由於第一階段的溫度過低(850℃),因此金屬鈧的純度不足。 Comparative Example 3 (The temperature in the first stage is too low) 100 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 29 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber. The pressure of the reaction chamber was reduced to less than 1 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to raise the temperature of the raw materials in the crucible to 850 °C for the first stage reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the first stage reaction was completed, the temperature of the reaction chamber was raised to 1300 °C, and the pressure of the reaction chamber was maintained at less than 1 Pa to carry out the second stage reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the second stage of the reaction was completed, the heating device was turned off and the exhaust device was kept on to remove the aluminum fluoride gas. After the reaction chamber was cooled to room temperature, 48 g of metallic plutonium was obtained with a purity of 57 wt% (confirmed by EDX). Since the temperature in the first stage was too low (850°C), the purity of metallic plutonium was insufficient.

比較例4 (第二階段溫度過低) 將120 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與44 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至小於1 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1200 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度維持於1200 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力小於1 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得60 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為65 wt% (由EDX確認)。由於第二階段的溫度過低(1200℃),因此金屬鈧的純度不足。 Comparative Example 4 (Temperature in the second stage is too low) 120 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 44 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber. The pressure of the reaction chamber was reduced to less than 1 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to raise the temperature of the raw materials in the crucible to 1200 °C for the first stage reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the first stage reaction was completed, the temperature of the reaction chamber was maintained at 1200 °C, and the pressure of the reaction chamber was maintained at less than 1 Pa to carry out the second stage reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the second stage of the reaction was completed, the heating device was turned off and the exhaust device was kept on to remove the aluminum fluoride gas. After the reaction chamber was cooled to room temperature, 60 g of metallic plutonium was obtained with a purity of 65 wt% (confirmed by EDX). Since the temperature of the second stage was too low (1200°C), the purity of metallic plutonium was insufficient.

比較例5 (第一階段溫度過高) 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與29 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至小於1 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1600 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度維持於1600 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力小於1 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得35 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為86 wt% (由EDX確認)。由於第一階段的溫度過高(1600℃),因此金屬鈧的純度不足。此外,第一階段的溫度太高,因此產生大量鋁蒸氣而造成噴濺,且鋁蒸氣無法與氟反應形成氟化鋁。 Comparative Example 5 (The temperature in the first stage is too high) 100 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 29 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber. The pressure of the reaction chamber was reduced to less than 1 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to raise the temperature of the raw materials in the crucible to 1600 ° C, and the first stage of the reaction was carried out, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the first stage of the reaction was completed, the temperature of the reaction chamber was maintained at 1600 ° C, and the pressure of the reaction chamber was maintained at less than 1 Pa to carry out the second stage of the reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the second stage of the reaction was completed, the heating device was turned off and the exhaust device was kept on to remove the aluminum fluoride gas. After the reaction chamber was cooled to room temperature, 35 g of metallic tantalum was obtained with a purity of 86 wt% (confirmed by EDX). Since the temperature in the first stage was too high (1600°C), the purity of the metallic tantalum was insufficient. In addition, the temperature in the first stage was too high, so a large amount of aluminum vapor was generated, causing splashing, and the aluminum vapor could not react with fluorine to form aluminum fluoride.

比較例6 (第二階段溫度過高) 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與29 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至小於1 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1200 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度升溫至1820 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力小於1 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得40 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為97.5 wt% (由EDX確認)。由於第二階段的溫度過高(1820℃),因此金屬鈧的純度不足。 Comparative Example 6 (The temperature in the second stage is too high) 100 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 29 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber. The pressure of the reaction chamber was reduced to less than 1 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to raise the temperature of the raw materials in the crucible to 1200 °C for the first stage reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the first stage reaction was completed, the temperature of the reaction chamber was raised to 1820 °C, and the pressure of the reaction chamber was maintained at less than 1 Pa to carry out the second stage reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the second stage of the reaction was completed, the heating device was turned off and the exhaust device was kept on to remove the aluminum fluoride gas. After the reaction chamber was cooled to room temperature, 40 g of metallic plutonium was obtained with a purity of 97.5 wt% (confirmed by EDX). Since the temperature of the second stage was too high (1820°C), the purity of metallic plutonium was insufficient.

比較例7 (反應腔室的壓力過高) 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與29 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至5 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1200 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度加熱至1400 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力為5 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得44 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為72 wt% (由EDX確認)。由於反應腔室的壓力過高(5 Pa),因此金屬鈧的純度不足。 Comparative Example 7 (Pressure in the reaction chamber is too high) 100 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 29 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in the reaction chamber. The pressure in the reaction chamber was reduced to 5 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to raise the temperature of the raw materials in the crucible to 1200 °C for the first stage of reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the first stage of reaction was completed, the temperature of the reaction chamber was heated to 1400 °C, and the pressure of the reaction chamber was maintained at 5 Pa for the second stage of reaction, and the reaction time was about 20 minutes. After the second stage of the reaction was completed, the heating device was turned off and the exhaust device was kept on to remove the aluminum fluoride gas. After the reaction chamber was cooled to room temperature, 44 g of metallic plutonium was obtained with a purity of 72 wt% (confirmed by EDX). Because the pressure in the reaction chamber was too high (5 Pa), the purity of the metallic plutonium was insufficient.

比較例8 (鈣與氟化鈧) 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與65 g的鈣粒(Ca,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至0.01 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1650 ℃進行反應,且反應時間為約60分鐘。待反應完成後,氟化鈣固體與鈧液明顯分層。移除氟化鈣固體後的鈧液冷卻後,可得38 g的金屬鈧,其純度為96.3 wt% (由EDX確認)。由上述可知,若將鋁製換為鈣以進行所謂的鈣熱還原法,其形成的氟化鈣副產物為固體而無法抽氣移除,且形成的金屬鈧純度不足。 Comparative Example 8 (Calcium and pegmatum fluoride) 100 g of pegmatum fluoride powder (ScF 3 , purchased from Youhe Trading) and 65 g of calcium pellets (Ca, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber. The pressure of the reaction chamber was reduced to 0.01 Pa by a vacuum device, and the heating device was turned on to heat the raw materials in the crucible to 1650 ℃ for reaction, and the reaction time was about 60 minutes. After the reaction was completed, the calcium fluoride solid and the pegmatum liquid were clearly separated. After the calcium fluoride solid was removed and the pegmatum liquid was cooled, 38 g of metallic pegmatum was obtained, and its purity was 96.3 wt% (confirmed by EDX). As can be seen from the above, if aluminum is replaced with calcium to carry out the so-called calcium thermal reduction method, the calcium fluoride byproduct formed is solid and cannot be removed by vacuuming, and the formed metallic plutonium is not pure enough.

實施例1 將100 g的氟化鈧粉(ScF 3,購自友和貿易)與29 g的鋁粉(Al,購自友和貿易)充分混合後置入坩堝中,接著將坩鍋置入反應腔室。以抽氣裝置將反應腔室的壓力降低至小於1 Pa,並開啟加熱裝置使坩堝中的原料升溫至1200 ℃,進行第一階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘,待第一階段的反應完成後,將反應腔室溫度加熱至1400 ℃,並維持反應腔室之壓力小於1 Pa以進行第二階段的反應,且反應時間為約20分鐘。第二階段的反應完成後,關閉加熱裝置並持續開啟抽氣裝置以移除氟化鋁氣體,反應腔室冷卻至室溫後可得43 g 的金屬鈧,其純度為99.3 wt% (由EDX確認)。 Example 1 100 g of ScF 3 powder (purchased from Youhe Trading) and 29 g of aluminum powder (Al, purchased from Youhe Trading) were fully mixed and placed in a crucible, and then the crucible was placed in a reaction chamber.
