Technical field
The invention belongs to metal dust preparing technical field in the metal material, a kind of industrialized process for preparing of nano-scale silver powder particularly is provided, be applicable to the suitability for industrialized production of nano-scale silver powder.
Background technology
Nano-scale silver powder is widely used in the electron trade, and the particularly develop rapidly of microelectric technique in the information industry in recent years is to the demand of nanometer-level silver paste paint, rapid growth.About 1000 tons of U.S.'s year requirement, about 2500 tons of Japan and Europe year requirement.300 tons of China's year requirements, about 200 tons of Taiwan.World demand amount every year is with 20~28% speed increment.In addition, nano-scale silver powder is used also very extensive at tungsten-Yin superhigh temperature transpiration material in electrical contact material, silver-cubond material and the computer CPU heat sink materials such as silver-cadmium oxide, silver-tungsten carbide, silver-chromium, silver-copper.In medical dental alloy, also begin applying nano level silver-bearing copper tin alloy powder in recent years.Simultaneously in chemical fibre, tableware washes on the ware utensil, begin to adopt bactericidal nano-silver coating, so the technology of preparing of nano-silver powder has great importance.
The literature search in nearly ten years as can be known, the production method of silver powder mainly contains physics method and chemical method two big classes.Mainly contain in the physics method: evaporation-condensation method, mechanical milling method, atomization, (contain high pressure gas atomizing, hydraulic atomized, ultrasonic atomizatio, rotating disc centrifugal atomizing, electric power atomizing, plasma atomizing etc.), mechanical milling method can only be produced sheet or the plate-like silver powder of particle diameter>20 μ m.The evaporation-condensation method can be produced the ball shape silver powder that particle diameter is 0.3~5 μ m.But this method yields poorly, the equipment cost height.Atomization generally can only production average grain diameter>30 μ m silver powder.Have only the plasma atomization could produce the silver powder of particle diameter during greater than 200KW for (0.3~5 μ m) at power.The characteristics of physics method are that output is big, powder size is thick, equipment investment is big, cost is high, the powder recovery rate is low in a word.Mainly contain chemical vapour deposition technique and solution reduction method in chemical method, these methods all can be produced nano-scale silver powder.But the former cost height, efficient are low, and latter's advantage is more.The solution reduction method is present method with fastest developing speed, this method, not only can produce powder diameter for (10~200nm) nano level superfine silver powder, and can thicker (0.5~3 μ m) the micron order silver powder of production granularity, its production cost and equipment investment all are lower than the former.The research of chemical method focuses mostly in the reduction reaction characteristic aspect of the aqueous solution over past ten years, as solution concentration, reaction speed, pH value, reaction temperature, reducing agent add speed, whipped form, etc. with the relation of precipitation rate, growth process, silver powder particles shape, silver powder granularity and the specific surface of silver powder particles etc.In above-mentioned research process, a lot of patents of invention have been obtained.But at present in the technology of aqueous solution reduction preparation of silver powder, also exist a still unsolved difficult problem, it is long that the time is separated out in first reaction, be generally 1~2 hour, sometimes reach 4 hours, it two is after silver ion is reduced into silver-colored particle, assembles fast and grows up into micron particles, and this is very unfavorable for the preparation nano-scale silver powder.Its three are mother liquors with silver particles separate and cleaning and filtering is very difficult repeatedly.The thing followed be cause that the liquid handling amount is excessive, production efficiency is very low, real silver powder amount seldom, casting yield is low.When the preparation nano-scale silver powder, in order to control growing up of silver-colored particle, often adopt the silver ion solution of low molar concentration, this will further cause the treating capacity of mother liquor bigger, casting yield further reduces, production efficiency obviously descends, therefore be equipped with the technology of nano-silver powder with the solution reduction legal system, suitability for industrialized production all can not be dropped on a large scale in countries in the world at present.
