Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 3,1919.
Application filed January 16, 1915. Serial No.2,534.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK T. SNYDER, citizen of the United States, residing at Oak Park, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Processes and Apparatus for the Production of Metallic Nitrids, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description.
My invention relates to a process and apparatus for the. produetion of metallic nitrids, and its object is to overcome certain difliculties heretofore met with in the production of such nitrids.
It is well known that certain compounds of metal, especially the oxids, when heated to a high temperature under reducing conditions and simultaneously subjected to the action of nitrogen, will be largely converted into nitrids. Difficulty, however, has been met in maintaining the material under treatment at a suitable uniform t: mperature. To obtain a commercial percentage of nitrogen, it is necessary to heat the furnace charge to a high temperature. If the charge is heated much above the production temperature, the nit-rid formed begins to break up again. As is well known, nitrogen acts as if it were very inert. This inertness is largely due to the strong hold which the nitrogen has for itself in the nitrogen moleculc. ('lnce the nitrogen molecule is broken up, the nitrogen combines readily with other available. materials, especially the basic metals, with the formation of nitrids.
Heretoforo nitride have been formed by heating compounds of the basic metals to a high temperatun and then passing relatively cool ill'fl m over the compounds. The compounds nave been heated either by ug the heat through the walls of the retort, or internally, by the application of electricity. In either case, the metallic compounds are first their hea o tied. and then transfer ogeja gas. In my inveng 1 of heat required for the reaction is fir oduccd into the nitrogen gas by heati the gas up to a high temperature, and the basic metal compounds are then heated by passing this hot nitrogen over them. p The various features of my invention may l more readily understood by reference to the ac npanying drawing, showing diagrammatically one embodiment of my inventiou, and in connection witha description of the manner of operating the struc' ture to treat the material.
It will be understood that, except as defined in the claims, the invention is not limited to the treatment of any particular material. For the purpose of description, I will describe the process in connection with the production of aluminum nitrid from alumina.
Referring to the drawings, the furnace 1 is of the rotary'type. Contained in the furnace is the oXid offthe basic metal, in'the case assumed,- the oxid of aluminum A1 0 Mixed with the alumina is thereducing carbon in a finely divided form. There is passed through this furnace a gas containing nitrogen, heated to a temperature of approximately 2000 C., which, in this case, is the gas temperature required to produce the reduction of the oxid by carbon and the simultaneous formation ofmetallic nitrid..-
After a short interval, the direction of the gas travel is reversed.
To maintain the gas passing into the furnace at a temperature of approximately 2000 (l, a gas producer 5 is employedfor converting air from a blower 8 into producer gas. largely composed of nitrogen; it, however, contains small amounts of hydrogen and hydro-carbons. This gaseous mixture passes from the producer 5 through a pipe 10 into av regenerator 11. During the previous period, the upper part of this regenerator has been heated bythe passing gas to some 2300 0., and as the nitrogen gas passes through it, this gas is heated up to between 2000 and 2100 C. This gas in passing through the furnace 1 gives up heat to the charge 2 in the furnace, and leaves the furnace at about 1800 C. The blower 8, in addition to supplying air for the producer 5, also blows air through a valve 14 and pipe 13 into an air regenerator- 15.
up to some 1600 C., and, meeting the producer gas as it leaves the furnace 1, mixes 'Wlth the producer gas and burns it. The
resulting flame reaches a high temperature 600 C. and pass out through a pipe 16 to a The producer gas formed is.
Passing I through the regencrator 15, the air is heated stack 17 Where they are discharged into the air.
After an interval of about ten minutes, the brick work in the regenerator 12 becomes so highly heated that it does not economically absorb further heat from the gases. Furthermore, such excessive heating might damage or destroy the apparatus. At this time valves 14, 24 and 25 are closed, and a valve 28 opened. This results in the flow of air through the regenerator 15 being stopped and thegas from the furnace 1 being caused to flow down through the air regenerator 15, through the valve 28 and the blower 8 into the producer 5, and then, by the pipe 10 and valve 20, into regenerator 11. Part of this further heat is given up to the material in the furnace 1, and the re mainder goes to heating the regenerator 15.
Any CO gas or moisture which is formed in the furnace, or in the circulating pipes, is destroyed by passing the gas through the white hot carbon in the producer 5, so that the gases which go to the regenerator 11 and thence to the furnace are at all times entirely free from C0, gas and moisture. After a further interval'of about ten minutes, the valve system is reversed so that the same cycle of operations take place from the other end of the furnace.
The reduction of the basic metals absorbs large quantities of heat. This heat is supplied by the hot nitrogen. In order to do this, it is necessary that the nitrogen should be heated much more than the charge 2 in the furnace 1. Heating the nitrogen to this high temperature has a tendency to break up the nitrogen molecules, and in this way make the nitrogen more active in entering into combination with the basic metal as reduced by the carbon. It is this greater activity of the nitrogen, due to its temperature being higher than that of the material on which it is acting, which contributes largely to the successful operation of my invention. After the gas has been passed alternately back and forth through the furnace l a sutlicient length of time to trans form most of the available basic netal into nitrid, the passage of the gas is stopped, and the furnace l is emptied by opening the doors 26 and allowing the charge to discharge into the car 27 b slowly revolving the furnace l. A fresh charge is then placed in the furnace l, the doors as closed, and the operation repeated.
It will be noted that tile gas is passed alternately over the furnace charge first in one direction and then in the other. liy this means all parts of the charge are brought uniformly up to the reduction temperature, and the raising of any portion of the charge to the temperature of decomposition of the nitrids formed is largely avoided. A considerable part of the advantage gained by insane my invention is due to the fact that the gases are passed alternately in opposite direct-ions over an isolated charge, which can be retained for treatment until the proper result has been reached. This is of great importance commercially, as it. permits of l'ierature of the mild, subsequently burning the with air to raise the temperature of the gas, then passing the gas through regenerators used to heat further amounts of.
incoming gas, then circulating further amounts of the nitrogen bearing gas in a closed cycle through a, regenerator, a gas producer containing carbon and the original regenerator to transfer further amounts of heat from the original regcneratoi to the furnace charge.
2. The process of producing aluminum nitrid, which consists in directing air from a. blower through a producer to make producer gas and directing said producer gas alternately through two regencrators and over an intermediately located charge of alumina and carbon, permitting air from said blower to unite with said gas after it leaves said furnace to burn said gas and maintain the regenerators at a temperature considerably above the nitrification point of the charge and continuously rotating the charge containing furnace during said operation.
3. The process of making compounds of nitrogen, which consists in passing over a mixture of an oxidof a basic metal and carbon, a great excess of superheated producer gas, the temperature of said being above the reduction temperature of the oxid of the n'ictal, subsequently burning the gas with air to raise the temperature of the gas and then passing the products of combustion through a rcgenerator used to heat the subsequent incoming gas, then shutting off the air supply and passing the unburned nitrogen gas through the gas producer to maintain the circulation of the gas over the charg without further heating of said regenerators.

High temperature apparatus for the production of aluminum nitrid comprising a rotatable furnace for the charge, a. pair of gas regeuerators each connected with one end of said furnace, a gas producer connected with said rcgenerators, a blower connected to said gas producer, va ves permitting a. reversal of flow of reducing gas tl rough said furnace, means for supplying air from said-blower to said gas after it asses through said furnace whereby it urns in one regenerator after being superheated in the other, and means for permitting the gas to be drawn from the furnace by said blower and repassed through said blower, said gas producer, and the regenerator on the inlet side of said furnace.
