Description

Preparation method of high-fluidity AlON spherical powder
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation of raw material powder of transparent ceramic, and particularly relates to a preparation method of high-fluidity AlON spherical powder.
Background
Aluminum oxynitride (γ -AlON) can obtain a transmittance of 80% or more in a wide band of 0.2 to 5 μm due to its isotropic crystal structure, shows excellent optical properties, and is an important transparent ceramic material. Meanwhile, the introduction of nitrogen atoms also enables the aluminum oxynitride material to show excellent physical and chemical properties, the high temperature resistance, the thermal vibration stability, the erosion resistance and the processability of the aluminum oxynitride material are all excellent, and the aluminum oxynitride material can replace sapphire to become an important material of a protective window due to light weight, and is widely applied to various fields such as civil use, military industry and the like.
In order to prepare the AlON transparent ceramic with good compactness and high transparency, a great deal of research is carried out on the preparation method by domestic and foreign researchers, and the current research results show that: firstly, the preparation of the AlON powder with excellent performance is a prerequisite condition for preparing the AlON transparent ceramic with high optical performance.
The most common methods for preparing AlON powder are solid phase reaction and carbothermic reduction of alumina. However, the existing AlON powder preparation method still has the following defects: firstly, the solid-phase reaction method requires that the used aluminum nitride powder raw material must have the characteristics of superfine property, high purity and easy dispersion, which causes the production cost of AlON powder to be higher and the raw material to be difficult to obtain; secondly, although the carbothermic reduction method does not need high-purity AlN powder, the carbothermic reduction method has the defects of long reaction time, large influence by the mixture ratio of raw materials and difficult synthesis of pure-phase gamma-AlON powder, so that the production efficiency of the AlON powder is low and the difference of different batches of raw material powder is large.
Therefore, the existing preparation method of AlON powder generally has the problems of higher reaction temperature, long heat preservation time, larger powder particle size, easy occurrence of nonuniform sintering, difficult crushing or long crushing time and the like.
Researches show that the application performance of the aluminum oxynitride product in many fields has a close relation with the shape and the size of raw material powder particles. Among powder particles with different shapes, the spherical particles have regular shapes, smaller specific surface areas, larger stacking densities and better flowing performance, so that the application performance of the transparent ceramic product can be greatly improved. Therefore, research on the preparation of the ceramic spherical raw material powder is further developed at home and abroad, and certain achievements are obtained.
The existing spherical powder preparation technology mainly comprises an atomization method and a spheroidizing method, wherein the atomization method is most widely applied and comprises a gas atomization method, a centrifugal atomization method and an ultrasonic atomization method. However, research shows that various operating factors (such as the rotating speed of the spray head, the inlet temperature of the drying air, the outlet temperature of the waste gas and the like, and the properties of the slurry, such as the solid content and viscosity of the slurry and the like) have great influence on the morphology and the particle size distribution of the powder in the process of granulation by centrifugal spray drying.
A large number of documents show that the preparation of spherical powder with narrow particle size distribution range, high balling rate, small spherical particle size and good particle fluidity is a great problem.
Patent document CN 102060519A discloses a method for preparing rare earth doped yttrium aluminum garnet transparent ceramic by spray granulation modified powder, which is to firstly prepare rare earth doped Re: YAG powder by a coprecipitation method, and then modify the powder by a spray granulation process, but the method has poor formability on spherical powder and uneven particle size distribution, and the transmittance of the transparent ceramic obtained by final sintering is low and mostly only reaches between 69 and 75 percent.
Patent document CN 103785843B discloses a method for producing an ultrafine titanium carbonitride based cermet agglomerated spherical powder, which comprises subjecting an ultrafine titanium carbonitride based cermet powder slurry to spray granulation by a high-speed centrifugal spray granulation dryer, but the ceramic powder slurry has poor flowability and is excellent in sphericity, but the powder has poor uniformity and the spherical powder has a wide particle size distribution of 20 to 200 μm.
Patent document CN 104355609A discloses a spray granulation preparation method of YAG-based transparent ceramic powder, which comprises adding sintering aid, dispersant and solvent into raw material powder to prepare slurry, ball-milling and mixing on a planetary ball mill, adding binder, and further ball-milling and mixing to obtain slurry for spray granulation; and then, selecting a centrifugal spray dryer to spray and granulate the slurry, and sieving the collected granulated powder to obtain YAG-based transparent ceramic powder, wherein the spherical powder with good sphericity and fluidity can be prepared by the method, but the particle size distribution of the spherical powder is wider and is between 10 and 90 mu m.
Patent document CN 104591240A discloses a preparation technology of spherical alumina powder, which is to use aluminum nitrate and ammonia water as raw materials, control the reactant concentration, drop-add an aluminum nitrate solution with the ammonia water at a certain temperature, stop dropping the ammonia water when the pH value of a reaction system reaches a specified value, then spray-dry the reaction solution by using nozzles of different sizes to obtain a spherical alumina precursor, and calcine the precursor at 450-600 ℃ for 1-3 hours to obtain gamma-type spherical alumina powder with different average particle sizes. Although the spherical particles obtained by the method have small size and narrow particle size distribution, the concentration and the pH value of reactants need to be strictly controlled when the reaction solution is prepared, the operation is more complicated, the obtained spherical particles are easy to agglomerate, and the spherical powder has a more serious bonding phenomenon due to the small particle size.
Patent document CN 108002354A discloses a method for preparing a particle size controllable spheroidal aluminum nitride powder, which is to wet-grind alumina, carbon powder, calcium fluoride additive and aluminum nitride seed crystal in a ball mill according to a certain proportion, dry and put into a sintering furnace, react for 1 to 4 hours at 1550 to 1800 ℃ under the protection of nitrogen atmosphere, and remove carbon in a muffle furnace to obtain the spheroidal aluminum nitride powder. Although the method can make the particle size of the spheroidal particles smaller and the particle size distribution narrower, and can be controlled between 4 and 30 mu m, the method can not obtain powder particles with better sphericity.
The above patents show that in the method of preparing ceramic spherical powder by atomization method, it is still difficult to obtain spheres with narrow particle size distribution, high balling rate, small spherical particle size and good particle fluidityForming powder. In the preparation process of the AlON powder, the AlON transparent ceramic has higher requirements on the particle size and the distribution uniformity of the raw materials, and Al is sintered at high temperature 2 O 3 The method is easy to agglomerate, and the AlON spherical powder with high performance is difficult to obtain.
Therefore, how to prepare the AlON spherical powder with narrow particle size distribution, high balling rate, small spherical particle size, good particle fluidity and difficult agglomeration by using an atomization method becomes a technical problem to be solved urgently.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problems and provide a preparation method of high-fluidity AlON spherical powder. The technical purpose of the invention is as follows: firstly, the method solves the problem that the existing preparation method of spherical powder does not relate to the preparation of AlON spherical powder, and provides a method for well preparing AlON spherical powder; secondly, the problems of wide particle size distribution, low balling rate, large spherical particle size, poor particle fluidity and easy agglomeration existing in the existing preparation process of the spherical powder are solved.
In order to achieve the technical purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a preparation method of high-fluidity AlON spherical powder comprises the following steps:
(1) Dissolving a dispersing agent into an ethanol-water solution, wherein the ethanol content in the ethanol-water solution is 3-5% by volume, uniformly mixing, adding a carbon source, performing ball milling for 1-1.5 h, adding an aluminum source, and performing ball milling for 2-4 h to obtain a uniformly mixed raw material powder solution;

The preparation method provided by the invention is a method for obtaining high-fluidity AlON spherical powder by using a centrifugal spraying method, wherein a carbon source and an aluminum source are used as raw materials, and a carbothermic reduction method is combined with a spraying granulation technology to ensure the high stability of slurry.

The inventor of the invention has made a lot of investigations on the preparation process of the AlON spherical powder, and initially found that the obtained spherical powder has poor effect, uneven particle size distribution and poor balling rate, the reason for the analysis is that the obtained slurry has poor stability, and the addition of the dispersing agent can easily generate bubbles in the ball milling process, which seriously affects the balling performance and the uniformity of particle size of the powder in the spray granulation process. On the other hand, parameters in the spray drying granulation process have a large influence on the sphericity, and the effect of the spherical powder obtained by the preparation is very easily influenced.
Finally, the inventors unexpectedly found that the problem that the powder solution is easy to generate bubbles can be well solved by adding the dispersing agent into an aqueous solution containing 3-5% of ethanol, then adding the carbon source and the aluminum source, and performing ball milling respectively; meanwhile, after the raw material powder solution is prepared, the binder is added into the raw material powder solution for ball milling, so that the stability of the slurry can be well ensured, the solid content of the slurry can be kept at a higher level, and the slurry has excellent protective colloid capacity, thereby improving the balling rate and the uniformity of particle size distribution of the spherical powder.
In addition, the inventor finds that each parameter of the centrifugal atomizer also needs to be accurately controlled, and when each parameter is poor in control effect, the obtained powder is low in balling rate. Finally, the inventor obtains a method for well preparing high-fluidity spherical powder by accurately controlling various parameters of a centrifugal atomizer, and the method can obtain pure-phase AlON spherical powder by sintering the small balls obtained by spraying and granulating in one step, and the spherical powder has the advantages of excellent fluidity, narrow particle size distribution, high granulation rate, small spherical particle size and difficult agglomeration in the sintering process.

On the other hand, the spherical powder can regulate and control the size distribution of particles by adjusting the size fraction configuration, so that the aluminum oxynitride can be applied to the fields of special ceramics such as catalyst carriers, packaging materials, 3D printing and the like and high and new technology, and has wide application prospects.

The preparation process of example 1 was followed, except that the parameters for the atomizer granulation in step (ii) were adjusted as follows: the materialization temperature is changed from 107 ℃ to 120 ℃, or the rotating speed of a peristaltic machine is changed from 25rpm to 50rpm, and the result shows that the prepared small balls have poor forming effect, low balling rate and wider particle size distribution.
Comparative example 3
The preparation method of example 1 was followed, except that the binder HEC in the step (one) was replaced with PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and the solid content of the slurry was increased to 50wt%, and the result of preparing the AlON spherical powder was as shown in fig. 4.
Since PVA has poor water solubility at room temperature and requires a long time of stirring, the binding ability is lowered, and thus the preparation is carried out by adjusting the solid content to 50%. However, even with high solids content, the product obtained by spray granulation still exhibits surface voids and irregular morphology of the lumps (see fig. 4), rather than regular spheroids, which have a low spheronization rate.
Comparative example 4
The preparation method of example 1 was followed except that the solid content of the slurry was adjusted to 30wt% in the step (one), pellets were prepared and then high-temperature sintering was performed, and the result is shown in fig. 5.
In a high-temperature environment, the solution is centrifuged, and the formed spherical particles gradually evaporate water molecules from the inside to the outside in the drying process. Due to the reduced solids content, a thin shell is formed by the large amount of water during the drying process, resulting in the voiding of the spheres, which leads to the cracking of the spheres during high temperature sintering (see fig. 5).
Comparative example 5
The preparation method of example 1 was followed except that no dispersant was added in step (one) to cause the pellets to crack, the addition of the dispersant can significantly reduce the viscosity and surface tension of the suspension, and the slurry viscosity and quality significantly affect the changes in the size of the particles and the centrifugal shear force. Since the raw materials are not uniformly dispersed, the carbon source is easily coated with alumina, resulting in non-uniformity in the drying process (see fig. 6).
Comparative example 6
The preparation method of example 1 was followed, except that the carbon source in the step (one) was replaced with carbon black, and the results are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. It can be seen that although the carbon black had a good spherical shape, the whole pellets had an uneven particle size distribution and a large particle size (80 μm or more). This is because carbon black has poor water solubility, and the addition of water significantly increases the viscosity of the slurry, resulting in a decrease in shear force, and thus is difficult to centrifuge into spheres having smaller crystal grains.
