Description
- The invention relates to a process for producing tungsten oxide powders by means of flame spray pyrolysis.
- Tungsten oxides are known infrared-absorbing substances which can also show good electrical conductivity. Such a mixed oxide is generally obtained by providing a solution comprising a tungsten compound and optionally a compound of a mixed oxide component, subsequently removing the solvent and treating the remaining solid at temperatures of about 500° C. in a reducing atmosphere. Mention may be made for example of EP1801815 which describes the production of a tungsten mixed oxide of formula MxWyOz where M=alkali metal, 0.001≤x/y≤1.1 and 2.2≤z/y≤3.0. Powders produced in this way often show poor dispersibility, for example in a coating. Accordingly, costly and complex grinding and dispersing steps are often necessary.
- In US 2010/102700, tungsten mixed oxides are produced by means of flame spray pyrolysis. A solution comprising a tungsten compound and a compound of the mixed oxide component is introduced into a flame and oxidized there. However, only materials having a BET surface area of about 60-80 m2/g are disclosed. To achieve sufficient crystallinity, the material from the flame spray pyrolysis is subsequently subjected to thermal treatment which reduces the BET surface area to values of about 20 m2/g. This has a deleterious effect on dispersibility.
- A process allowing production of tungsten oxides having high crystallinity and good dispersibility would be desirable.
- The invention provides a single-stage process and a two-stage process for producing tungsten oxide or a tungsten mixed oxide. Both processes comprise a flame spray pyrolysis.
- The two-stage process for producing a tungsten oxide powder or a tungsten mixed oxide powder of general formula MxWO3, wherein M=Na, K, Rb, Li and Cs, 0.1≤x≤0.5, preferably x=0.33, comprises the consecutive steps of
-
- a) providing a solution comprising respectively one or more tungsten- and optionally M-comprising compounds in a concentration corresponding to the stoichiometry MxWO3,
- b) atomizing the solution or the solutions, thus forming an aerosol, into a reaction space,
- c) reacting the aerosol in the reaction space with a hydrogen/oxygen flame for which the expression 1<O2,primary/0.5H2≤3 applies,
- wherein the reaction space is configured such that it comprises two reaction zones with two different velocities of the reaction mixture v1 and v2 where v2=0.3-0.8 v1, preferably v2=0.4-0.7 and 0.5≤v1≤10 Nm/s, preferably 1≤v1≤5 Nm/s,
- d) separating the solid from vaporous or gaseous substances and
- e) passing a reducing gas stream over the separated solid at a temperature of 450-700° C.
- The BET surface area of the tungsten oxide powder produced by the process according to the invention is 1-10 m2/g.
- The process according to the invention is particularly suitable for producing WO3, Li0.33WO3, Na0.33WO3, K0.33WO3, Rb0.33WO3, Cs0.33WO3, Cs0.20WO3 and Cs0.25WO3. It is likewise possible to produce tungsten mixed oxide powders of general formula Wx1Mx2WO3, where x1+x2=x, which in addition to tungsten comprise two metals selected from the group Na, K, Rb, Li and Cs, for example Na0.1K0.1WO3.
- The first reaction zone begins at the point of introduction of the aerosol into the reaction space. The second reaction zone is immediately downstream of the first. v1 is the average velocity in the first reaction zone, v2 the average velocity in the second reaction zone. v1 is greater than v2. This can be achieved for example by a smaller cross section in the first reaction zone. v1 and v2 are calculated based on the gas volumes of the unconverted starting materials, for example nitrogen or excess oxygen, and of the products, substantially water vapour. The velocity figures are normalized velocities. They are found by dividing the volume flow rate having the unit Nm3/h by the cross-sectional area.
- The index “O2, primary” refers to the oxygen in the air or optionally in the oxygen-enriched air which forms the flame. In addition it may be useful to additionally introduce, separately from this air, air referred to here as secondary air directly into the reaction space. The index “O2, secondary” then refers to the oxygen in the secondary air. The secondary air is preferably directed such that it enters the reaction space only in reaction zone 2.
- Finally, the atomization of the solution may also be effected by means of air. The index “O2, atomization” then refers to the oxygen in the atomization air. Finally, the index “O2, ttl” refers to the total oxygen. The total oxygen is preferably chosen such that
-
1.5≤O 2,ttl/0.5H 2≤5. - The ratio O2,ttl/0.5H2 or O2,primary/0.5H2 stems from the reaction of 2 mol of hydrogen with 1 mol of oxygen as per 2H2+O2→2H2O.
- The claimed features in terms of O2,primary/0.5H2 and v2=0.4-0.8 v1 result in low temperatures of about 500-750° C. in the flame spray pyrolysis and in a material having a surprisingly low BET surface area of 1-20 m2/g coupled with good crystallinity.
- The BET surface area of the reduced material is smaller than that of the material from the flame spray pyrolysis. The ratio BETreduced/BETFSP is normally 0.60-0.95.
- The hydrogen/oxygen flame which burns into the reaction space is formed by igniting an oxygen-comprising gas and a combustion gas which upon reaction with oxygen forms water.
- In a particular embodiment the average residence times of the reaction mixture in reaction zone 1 and reaction zone 2 are chosen such that t2>0.5 t1, preferably 0.7 t1≤t2≤0.9 t1, wherein t1 is the average residence time of the reaction mixture in reaction zone 1 and t2 is the average residence time of the reaction mixture in reaction zone 2.
- The average residence time t1 is preferably 0.2-1 s, particularly preferably 0.3-0.7 s. The average residence time t2 is preferably 0.1-0.8 s, particularly preferably 0.2-0.5 s.
- Contemplated reducing gas streams are hydrogen, hydrogen/nitrogen mixtures or hydrogen/noble gas mixtures.
- In addition to the two-stage process comprising flame spray pyrolysis and a subsequent reduction, a single-stage process where the reduction step may be eschewed also forms part of the subject matter of the invention.
- The invention provides a single-stage process for producing a tungsten oxide powder or a tungsten mixed oxide powder of general formula MxWO3, wherein M=Na, K, Rb, Li and/or Cs, 0.1≤x≤0.5, comprising the consecutive steps of
-
- a) providing a solution comprising respectively at least one tungsten compound and optionally at least one M-comprising compound in a concentration corresponding to the stoichiometry MxWO3,
- b) atomizing the solution, thus forming an aerosol, into a reaction space,
- c) reacting the aerosol in the reaction space with a hydrogen/oxygen flame having a lambda value<1, wherein: lambda=total oxygen/0.5×hydrogen, and
- d) separating the solid from vaporous or gaseous substances.
- It is an essential feature of the process that lambda<1. It means that hydrogen and oxygen are to be chosen such that there is a stoichiometric excess of hydrogen in terms of the equation H2+0.5 O2→H2O. It is preferable when 0.6≤lambda<1, particularly preferable when 0.7≤lambda≤0.95 and very particularly preferable when 0.8≤lambda≤0.9.
- The average residence time in the reaction space for the single-stage process is preferably 1-5 s.
- In the process according to the invention fine droplets of the solution are a constituent of the aerosol. The fine droplets preferably have an average droplet size of less than 120 μm, particularly preferably of 30-100 μm. The droplets are typically produced using single- or multi-component nozzles.
- The solution employed shall have as high a concentration as possible. The intention is to achieve an optimum balance between production output and the properties of the powder. For the processes according to the invention these requirements are best fulfilled in a range of 5-60 wt %, particularly preferably 25-55 wt %, very particularly preferably 30-50 wt %, in each case based on the sum of W and M and based on the metal.
- The best results in terms of homogeneity of the powder are obtained when the tungsten and alkali metal compounds are present in a solution. The solution may be heated to achieve solubility and to attain a suitable viscosity for atomization of the solution. All soluble metal compounds convertible into the oxides under the reaction conditions may in principle be employed. These may be inorganic metal compounds, such as nitrates, chlorides, bromides, or organic metal compounds, such as alkoxides or carboxylates. Nitrates may be particularly advantageously employed.
- Organic solvents that may be employed with preference are alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol, diols such as ethanediol, pentanediol, 2-methylpentane-2,4-diol, acetic acid, propionic acid, butanoic acid, hexanoic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, octanoic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, valeric acid, capric acid or lauric acid. Benzene, toluene, naphtha and/or spirits may also be employed. Preference is given to using an aqueous solvent or water.
- Examples 1-5 show the production of alkali metal-tungsten mixed oxide powders by the two-stage process according to the invention. Example 6 shows a comparative example of a two-stage process. Examples 7-11 show the production of potassium-tungsten mixed oxide powders by the single-stage process according to the invention.

- Reaction zone 1: Jetting 2500 g/h of this solution with 5 Nm3/h of air as jetting gas by means of a two-material nozzle at room temperature (23° C.) affords an aerosol. This is brought to reaction with 8 Nm3/h (0.357 kmol/h) of hydrogen and 30 Nm3/h of air (0.281 kmol 02/h). The temperature 50 cm below the burner mouth is 527° C.
- The residence time in reaction zone 1 is 0.48 seconds at a gas velocity of 2.89 Nm/s.

- The solid has a BET surface area of 7.2 m2/g.
- The solid from the FSP is heated under a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 8.0° C./min to an end temperature of 500° C. and there treated in a forming gas atmosphere (70/30 vol % N2/H2,volume flow 100 NI/h) over a period of 2 hours at a temperature of 500° C.

This material is correspondingly readily dispersible.

- Jetting 9.0 kg/h of this solution with 9.2 Nm3/h of air as jetting gas by means of a two-material nozzle at room temperature (23° C.) affords an aerosol.
