Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of porous ceramic materials, and particularly relates to a porous TaC ceramic material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Porous ceramics are a novel nonmetallic ceramic material. Compared with the traditional ceramic material, the ceramic material has the characteristics of high temperature and high pressure resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, stable chemical property, large specific surface area, high porosity, controllable pore structure, long service life, good reproducibility and the like. Is favored in the fields of heat preservation and insulation materials, fuel cell electrode materials, gas-liquid filtering materials, highly sensitive sensor elements, biological medicament carriers and the like.
The performance and application field of the porous ceramic are closely related to the pore characteristics of the porous ceramic, and the selection of the preparation method is an important factor influencing the pore characteristics. The methods commonly used at present are as follows: a pore-forming agent adding method, a direct foaming method, an organic foam dipping method, a freeze drying method, a reaction sintering process, a sol-gel method, a biological template method, 3D printing and the like. The method has certain advantages and certain limitations, such as simple process and easy operation of the method for adding the pore-forming agent, but the prepared porous ceramic has uneven pore distribution and lower porosity; the freeze-drying method has the advantages of complete structure, high porosity and high mechanical strength of the product, but the production cost is too high, the requirements in the preparation process are strict, and the method is not suitable for industrial mass production; although the sol-gel method has the advantages of easy achievement of reaction conditions, mild and controllable reaction process, rich raw materials and the like, the prepared porous ceramic has low strength and higher cost, and is also unfavorable for industrialized mass production; the biological template method has the advantages of rich raw materials, low production cost, capability of re-engraving a pore structure similar to that of a biological template material and obtaining the performance similar to that of some used biological template materials, but the biological template is easy to break during sintering, can damage the product structure, has the defects of long production period and easy peeling of the outer layer of the product, and is not suitable for industrial production.
The porous TaC ceramic is a typical representative of porous ceramic, has the property advantages of the porous ceramic, and has more excellent high-temperature resistance and acid and alkali corrosion resistance, such as document Adsorption properties and preparation of porous TAC CERAMICS WITH regular steps, ning-NingYan and the like, volume 731 of Journal of Alloys and Compounds, pages 971-977, and discloses a preparation method of the porous TaC ceramic, which comprises the steps of mixing carbon powder and Ta 2O5 powder according to a molar ratio, injecting the mixture into a graphite mold, putting the graphite mold into a high-temperature sintering furnace, raising the temperature to 2100 ℃, keeping the temperature for 2 hours, and taking argon as a protective gas of a sample to prepare the porous TaC ceramic. The method can avoid the generation of defects such as cracks, fractures and the like caused by the shrinkage of the blank in the sintering process to a certain extent, so that the shape of the product is not changed, and meanwhile, the energy consumption and the production cost can be reduced. However, the method has the defects that the sintering temperature is still relatively high, the porosity of the prepared porous ceramic is low, and the porosity of the porous TaC ceramic obtained by reaction sintering is 65.321 percent.
Therefore, the existing porous TaC ceramic preparation method is relatively single by integrating the analysis, and has the problems of higher reaction temperature, lower porosity and the like.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the first aim of the invention is to provide a preparation method of a porous TaC ceramic material. The preparation method combines the reaction sintering and the molten salt method to prepare the porous TaC ceramic, and the porous TaC ceramic material with the porosity of more than or equal to 90% can be prepared at a lower sintering temperature.
The second object of the invention is to provide a porous TaC ceramic material prepared by the preparation method.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:
The invention provides a preparation method of a porous TaC ceramic material, which comprises the steps of mixing a tantalum source A, fluoride salt and chloride salt to obtain molten salt powder, mixing a part of molten salt powder with reactive sintering raw material powder to obtain mixed powder, compacting the mixed powder to obtain a preform, embedding a part of molten salt powder into the preform, and sintering at 1300-1500 ℃ to obtain the porous TaC ceramic material; the reaction sintering raw material powder consists of a tantalum source B and a carbon source.
The preparation method provided by the invention combines reaction sintering and a molten salt method, and a blocky preform is obtained by pressing and forming mixed powder of molten salt powder and reaction sintering raw material powder, and is further wrapped by the molten salt powder, wherein salt substances in the preform gradually become a molten state along with the rise of temperature in the reaction process, and then become gas to volatilize, so that gas holes are formed on the surface and inside of the preform, and a porous TaC ceramic material is formed; meanwhile, as the fused salt powder is wrapped by the prefabricated body, the fused salt is adopted for assistance, and the diffusion of reactants in the liquid fused salt can be accelerated mainly through the liquid medium environment provided by the fused salt. The diffusion rate of the reactant in the liquid molten salt is high, because the surface energy is improved under the polarization effect of the molten salt, the reaction barrier required by the reaction is broken through more easily, the reaction temperature can be obviously reduced, the reaction time is shortened, the reaction is carried out in the liquid molten salt, the reaction medium has fluidity, the reactant can be dispersed more uniformly, and a liquid-phase salt environment is provided for the prefabricated block, so that Ta ions are more active, and the generated porous tantalum carbide is more uniform and has higher porosity.
The preparation method effectively combines the advantages of reaction sintering and a molten salt method, has simple reaction sintering operation and shorter reaction time, and ensures that the prepared tantalum carbide has low porosity; the molten salt method is simple to operate, can reduce the reaction temperature, improve the reaction rate, further shorten the reaction time, meanwhile, molten salt in the prefabricated body can react with carbon elements to generate tantalum carbide, the molten salt can be converted into a gaseous state, pores are reserved in the prefabricated body, the porosity is improved, the molten salt and the gaseous state can be combined to better show advantages, the reaction sintering is easy to generate non-uniformity in the reaction process, the reaction products are unevenly distributed, the defect can be overcome by the molten salt method, and the wrapped salt substances can be changed into a molten state at a high temperature and uniformly distributed in the prefabricated body to react with residual carbon in the prefabricated body.
The inventors found that only the preparation of molten salt powder for encapsulation and mixed powder according to the method of the present invention eventually results in a porous TaC ceramic material having high purity and high porosity, and even if the total composition ratio is unchanged, adding a tantalum source only to the mixed powder or only to the molten salt powder for encapsulation affects the final molding, and even if the molding is possible, the porous TaC ceramic material has low purity due to incomplete reaction with carbon.
In addition, if the molten salt powder is wrapped, the reactive molten salt is simply used, and the equipment is damaged due to the fact that the content of the molten salt is increased.
In the preferable scheme, in the molten salt powder, according to mass ratio, chlorine salt: fluorine salt: tantalum source a=50-120: 3-10:4-10.
In the molten salt powder, the mass ratio of the chlorine salt to the fluorine salt is controlled within the proportion range of the molten salt slurry, and the finally obtained molten salt system has lower viscosity and lower melting point, because the fluidity of reaction components in a liquid phase is enhanced in a molten state, the diffusion rate of reaction substances is obviously improved, and the molten salt penetrates between powder particles to prevent the interconnection between the particles, so that the powder prepared by the molten salt method has no agglomeration or only has weak agglomeration, and the synthesis temperature can be greatly reduced and the reaction time can be shortened by using the molten salt method.
Of course, the adding amount of the tantalum source needs to be effectively controlled, if the adding amount of the tantalum source is too large, powder waste is easily caused, and if the adding amount of the tantalum source is too small, the residual carbon reaction in the prefabricated body is incomplete, so that the purity of the obtained porous tantalum carbide is not high.
Further preferably, in the molten salt powder, the chlorine salt comprises the following components in percentage by mass: fluorine salt: tantalum source a=90-110: 3-7:4-7.
Preferably, the chloride salt is at least one selected from potassium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride and tantalum chloride, preferably sodium chloride and/or potassium chloride. When the chloride salt is sodium chloride and potassium chloride low-melting-point molten salt, the sodium chloride and the potassium chloride do not react with the crystal, so that the solid solubility in the crystal is smaller, the compound which is not easy to form a solid solution with the crystal has small viscosity, and is favorable for the transportation of solute and energy, thereby improving the dissolution rate and the diffusion rate, achieving the effect of reducing the reaction temperature, and the sodium chloride and the potassium chloride are easy to obtain and have lower cost.
Preferably, the fluoride salt is at least one selected from lithium fluoride, potassium fluoride, calcium fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium fluorotantalate and tantalum pentafluoride, preferably potassium fluorotantalate and/or tantalum pentafluoride. The inventors found that potassium fluorotantalate and/or tantalum pentafluoride are preferable as reactive molten salts, and that the tantalum ion generated by potassium fluorotantalate or tantalum pentafluoride is large in activity and further reacts with residual carbon element to generate tantalum carbide. Meanwhile, molten salt powder, tantalum source and carbon source powder are uniformly mixed, and reactive molten salt is filled between the powder, so that in the sintering process, along with the rising of temperature, salts gradually become molten state, so that the surface energy and interface energy between reactants and the molten salt are continuously reduced in the molten state, the contact area between the reactants and the molten salt is increased, and the reaction is more sufficient, therefore, the purity of the finally synthesized substance by a molten salt method is high, and when potassium fluotantalate and/or tantalum pentafluoride are adopted, the purity of the prepared porous tantalum carbide is higher, and the porosity of the porous tantalum carbide is higher.
In a preferred embodiment, the tantalum source a is selected from one of tantalum powder, tantalum oxide and tantalum chloride, and is preferably tantalum powder.
The inventors found that when the tantalum source in the molten salt powder is preferably tantalum powder, on the one hand, the purity is high and, on the other hand, sintering is easier.

In a preferred embodiment, the tantalum source B is selected from one of tantalum powder, tantalum oxide and tantalum chloride, and is preferably tantalum oxide.
The carbothermic reduction of metal oxides is one of the most widely used methods from an industrial point of view, but since its reduction temperature is above 1500 ℃, the reaction rate is very slow, and the TaC particles tend to grow up at higher temperatures, degrading its mechanical properties. The method of using molten salt can increase the contact area between powders and the diffusion rate, thereby accelerating the reaction rate and reducing the reaction temperature.
Preferably, the carbon source is at least one selected from graphite powder, carbon powder and phenolic resin.
In a preferred scheme, the purity of the carbon source is more than or equal to 99.9%, and the particle size is 300-500 meshes.
In the preferable scheme, in the mixed powder, the mass ratio of the reaction sintering raw material powder to the molten salt powder is 1-3:1.
In the invention, the proportion of the reactive sintering raw material powder to the molten salt powder is controlled within the range, the obtained porous TaC ceramic material has high strength and high porosity, and if the salt powder is too much, the formed gas holes are too many, so that the internal binding force of the material is not strong, and the sintering molding is not facilitated; and too little molten salt powder material causes too few holes and low porosity.
In the preferred scheme, the mode of mixing a part of molten salt powder and reactive sintering raw material powder is ball milling, the ball milling mode is dry ball milling, air is used as a ball milling medium, the ball milling speed is 40-60r/min, and the ball milling time is 12-24h. In the actual operation process, after ball milling is completed, drying is carried out in a blast drying oven for 5-10 hours, and mixed powder is obtained.
Further preferably, the ball-milling ratio is 0.2-0.7:1.
By adopting the conditions, the mixed powder is obtained, so that powder particles can be thinned, fully and uniformly mixed, and sintering is promoted. In the actual operation process, the grinding balls can be adopted or not, the reason of the adoption is that the grinding balls are convenient and fast, the operation is simple, the cleaning is easy, and the grinding balls are mixed with molten salt, so that the dry ball milling is adopted, and if the grinding balls are adopted, the ball-to-material ratio is controlled to be 0.2-0.7: and 1, the ball milling effect is optimal.
Preferably, the pressure of the compression molding is 10-25MPa. In the actual operation process, the mixed powder is pressed on a molding press, and the pressure is controlled within the range of the invention, so that a firm prefabricated body can be obtained, the strength of the material obtained after sintering can be ensured to be high, and the material does not warp.
Preferably, the molten salt powder for embedding the preform is 30-50% of which is placed at the bottom of the preform and the remainder is placed at the upper portion of the preform.
Preferably, the mass ratio of the prefabricated body to the fused salt powder for embedding the prefabricated body is 1:1-1.5.
The mass ratio of the preform to the fused salt powder for embedding the preform is controlled within the range, the reaction is most complete, and the obtained porous TaC ceramic material has high purity and high porosity.

In the sintering process, firstly, the temperature is raised to 1000-1200 ℃ for heat preservation, and at the moment, the salt is in a molten state, so that the reactivity is high, the molten salt in the preform and the coated molten salt are more easily reacted with carbon, and the reaction is complete; then heating to 1300-1500 ℃ to remove salts, and finally sintering and forming.
In the actual operation process, a graphite tank carrying a preform is placed in a sintering furnace, the furnace is vacuumized to be less than 50pa, ar gas is filled into the tubular furnace to enable the furnace to reach atmospheric pressure, then the furnace is heated, insulated and sintered, and finally cooled along with the furnace after the sintering is finished, the voltage of the furnace body is reduced, the furnace body is gradually cooled instead of naturally cooled, and the cooling rate is 2-6 ℃/min.
The invention also provides the porous TaC ceramic material prepared by the preparation method.
