Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce metallic grains having uniform grain size with a simple device at a low cost by solidifying a molten metal in a melting furnace, melting the solidified metal according to need, taking out the molten metal and dropping by each prescribed amt. onto a cooling liquid through a flat perforated plate. CONSTITUTION:The solidified selenium in a taking-out part 3a in the melting furnace 3 is melted by conducting electricity to a heater 3c, then an adjusting rod 6 falls from the part 3a by the own weight and rides automatically on a receiving tray 9a. The tray 9a is slightly lowered by a supporting rod 9b and the conduction of electricity to the heater 3c is continued, then the molten selenium falls along the outside surface of the rod 6 onto the tray 9a from the bottom end of the taking-out part 3c. The molten selenium overflowing from the tray 9a falls onto the flat perforated plate 10 and falls through the through-holes 10a thereof into the cooling liquid 11a in a storage tank 11 to form spherical selenium. Since the amt. of the molten selenium falling onto the flat perforated plate 10 is constant, the grain size of the molten selenium grains falling through the holes 10 into the liquid 11a is stabilized. The spherical selenium grains having the uniform size are thus obtd.

Molten selenium supplied from the distillation furnace 2 is stored inside the melting furnace 3. In this state, the power supply to the heater 3C at the bottom of the melting furnace 3 is stopped, the molten selenium in the take-out part 3a is solidified, and the take-out part 3a is closed by the solidified selenium.

Thereafter, the heater 3C is energized to melt the solidified selenium inside the extraction portion 3a. Here, the solidified selenium in the extraction part 3a exists in a small gap between the adjustment rod 6 and the inner surface of the extraction hole 3b, and because it is thin, it is quickly melted by the heat generated by the heater 3c. In this regard, if the adjustment rod 6 is not provided, the solidified selenium will fall from the extraction part in the form of a lump when the outer periphery of the solidified selenium in the extraction part is melted, and the amount of molten selenium that flows out will be reduced. Undesirable because it causes instability. Due to the melting of the solidified selenium, the adjusting stone head 6 is lowered from the take-out portion 3a by its own weight and the receiver is automatically placed on the tray 9a.

After this, the support rod 9b is operated to slightly move the bone plate 9a downward. If the heater 3c continues to be energized in this state, the molten selenium will flow from the lower end of the take-out portion 3c to the adjustment rod 6.
The receiver falls onto the plate 9a along the outer surface of the receiver. At this time, the molten selenium travels through the gap between the adjustment rod 6 and the extraction hole 3b, is overheated by the heater 3C, and falls in a completely molten state, so that the gap is not clogged and the amount of the fall is stable. Then, the molten selenium overflowing from the plate 9a falls onto the perforated plate 10.

ある。
The molten selenium that has fallen into the perforated plate 10 flows through the through hole 10a of the perforated plate 10.
The selenium particles fall into the cooling liquid in the liquid storage tank 11 and become spherical selenium. Here, since the amount of molten selenium that falls into the perforated plate lO is constant, the particle size of the molten selenium particles that fall from the through hole lOa of the perforated plate 10 into the cooling liquid 11a is also stabilized, and as a result, the size of the molten selenium particles becomes uniform. This makes it possible to obtain spherical selenium grains.

なお、受は皿9aから目皿10に落下させる溶融セレン
の量を大きくするならば、目皿lOから冷却液11aに
落下して形成されるセレン粒は大 。
Note that if the amount of molten selenium dropped from the plate 9a to the perforated plate 10 is increased, the selenium grains formed by falling from the perforated plate 10 to the cooling liquid 11a will be large.

On the other hand, if the amount of falling selenium is reduced, the selenium grains formed will become smaller. Therefore, by preparing many types of adjustment rods 6 with different diameters and adjusting the distance between the adjustment rod 6 and the extraction hole 3b as appropriate, the adjustment rod 6 that matches the required size of selenium grains is used. By doing so, selenium grains of various sizes can be produced.

By the way, since the device has no structurally complicated parts, the equipment cost is low, and therefore the cost of selenium grains can be reduced. In addition, since all of the above steps are performed in an inert gas atmosphere, pure selenium grains can be produced without contaminating the obtained selenium grains with impurities such as oxygen.

Furthermore, in the case of manufacturing tellurium grains or selenium-tellurium alloy grains, the molten metal stored in the melting furnace 3 may be tellurium or selenium-tellurium alloy. Further, the shape of the adjustment rod 6 is not limited to that shown in the figure, but may be cylindrical.

``Effects of the Invention'' As explained above, the present invention allows an adjustment rod to be loosely inserted into a take-out hole provided at the bottom of a melting furnace in which molten metal is stored, and a solidified metal surrounding the adjustment rod to close the take-out hole. If necessary, the solidified metal in the extraction hole is melted and the molten metal is dropped from the extraction hole into the cooling liquid through a perforated plate to produce metal particles. Because the molten metal completely melted by the heater flows out in the gap between the holes, a precise amount of molten metal can fall through the perforated plate into the cooling liquid, thus forming spherical particles with uniform particle size. Metal particles can be obtained. In addition, in order to cause the molten metal to flow out from the gap between the adjustment rod inserted into the extraction hole and the inner peripheral surface of the extraction hole, the heat generated by the heater immediately melts the solidified metal in this thin gap. Metal grains can be produced by quickly flowing out molten metal without causing clogging.
