The below does further explanation and explanation to the present invention:
Principle of the present invention comprises decomposes coating, reduction and nitrogenize three phases: the 1st, and the decomposition of organic carbon source coats, being about to described block of material packs in vacuum induction furnace, be evacuated to furnace pressure less than or equal to 50Pa, then the heat-up rate with 5 ℃/min-8 ℃/min is warming up to 300 ℃-800 ℃, insulation 0.5 h-3h.The 2nd, step of reaction namely is warming up to 1000 ℃~1900 ℃ again, and insulation 0.5 h~3h constantly vacuumizes in insulating process.The 3rd, the nitrogenize stage, i.e. insulation stops vacuumizing after finishing, and passes into nitrogen, and making furnace pressure is 1.1-1.2 normal atmosphere, and insulation 1 h~4h makes the abundant nitrogenize of raw material, then is cooled to 150 ℃~350 ℃, takes out the piece material.
Decomposition at organic carbon source coats the stage, and organic carbon source melts, decomposes under vacuum state, generates fine carbon black, is enclosed in uniformly TiO
2Particle surface can play the effect of foaming when organic carbon fusing, decomposition, be that the material piece is loose, is conducive to the mass transfer of nitrogen; When decomposing, organic carbon produces superfine carbon granule, surround uniformly around the Nanometer Titanium Dioxide particle, not only can make the reaction fully fast at lower temperature of carbon and titanium white, the more important thing is that coating function due to carbon makes between the titanium white particle can directly not contact, thereby suppressed growing up of particle.
