Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent oxygen from entering TiC whiskers and to enhance the purity and quality of the whiskers by bringing a gaseous mixture of TiCl4 with arom. hydrocarbon and H2 into a vapor phase reaction in a system contg. a transition metal (compd.). CONSTITUTION:A gaseous mixture prepd. by mixing TiCl4 with arom. hydrocarbon such as benzene and H2 so as to regulate the atomic ratio of titanium to carbon to 0.8-3.0 is introduced into a reaction tube contg. a transition metal such as Ni or a compd. thereof set at the center and TiC whiskers are formed on the transition metal or compd. by bringing the gaseous mixture into a vapor phase reaction at 1,100-1,350 deg.C.

The titanium tetrachloride-methane-hydrogen system uses expensive methane as the carbon source, resulting in high costs, while the titanium halide-carbon oxide-hydrogen system uses carbon monoxide as the carbon source, making it difficult to synthesize. Oxygen gets mixed into the TiC whiskers, making it impossible to obtain high purity and high quality TiC whiskers. Furthermore, noble metal salts serving as catalysts are generally expensive. Furthermore, in the method using a metal catalyst such as manganese from a titanium tetrachloride-propane-hydrogen system, the yield of whiskers is not sufficiently high.

[Means for solving the problems] In view of the problems in the conventional methods, the present inventors
As a result of extensive studies, we have discovered that when aromatic hydrocarbon compounds are used as carbon sources, it is possible to efficiently produce TiC whiskers with high purity and high quality, and we have arrived at the present invention. That is, the present invention provides TiC, which is characterized in that a mixed gas consisting of titanium tetrachloride, an aromatic hydrocarbon, and hydrogen is subjected to a gas phase reaction at a reaction temperature of 1100 to 1350°C in a system containing a transition metal or a compound thereof. This is a method for producing whiskers.

The transition metal used as a catalyst in the present invention is preferably nickel, cobalt, iron, or the like. Further, as the aromatic hydrocarbon used as a carbon source, benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. are preferable, and benzene is particularly preferable because it has a high vapor pressure and can be easily supplied to the reactor. Also, the reaction temperature is 1100~
A range of 1350°C is preferred. Above this range, the product will be mainly powder, and below this range, the product will mainly be a film, and in both cases the yield of TiC whiskers will be low.

When C/Ti<0.8, the product is mainly a film. Further, when C/Ti>3, it becomes easier to obtain irregularly shaped needle-like crystals or powder.
