Spherical titanium powder is an important metal powder, and its Preparation and application have high academic and economic value. This article will introduce the properties, preparation methods, and application fields of spherical titanium powder.
1. Properties of Spherical Titanium Powder
Spherical titanium powder is an inorganic powder composed of titanium and oxygen elements with the molecular formula TiO2. This powder has the following characteristics:
High purity: Spherical titanium powder has a very high purity and does not contain harmful impurities to the human body.
Good chemical stability: Spherical titanium powder does not react with water and oxygen at room temperature and has good chemical stability.
Excellent physical properties: Spherical titanium powder has high density, high specific surface area, and other physical properties, which can be widely used in catalysts, photocatalysis, coatings, and other fields.
Beneficial for environmental protection: Spherical titanium powder has minimal environmental pollution during production and use, making it a green and environmentally friendly material.
2. Preparation of spherical titanium powder
The preparation methods of spherical titanium powder mainly include the following:
Chemical vapor deposition method
Chemical vapor deposition is a commonly used methodss for preparing spherical titanium powder. This method involves reacting titanium compounds such as titanium tetrachloride with hydrogen and oxygen under certain reaction conditions to generate titanium oxide. This is then reduced to spherical titanium powder using the reducing agent such as hydrogen gas.
Sol-gel method
The Sol-gel method is a method that takes titanium alkoxide as raw material, adds appropriate solvent and coordination agent, heats and stirs to dissolve it and form a sol, then aging the sol, and then pyrolysis to obtain spherical titanium powder.
Mechanical crushing method
The mechanical crushing method is a method of mechanically crushing block or granular titanium alloys to obtain spherical titanium powder. This method has the advantages of a simple production process and low cost, but the purity and particle size of the product may not be ideal.
Plasma method
The plasma method is a method of using high-temperature plasma to decompose titanium compounds into titanium atoms and deposit them on the surface of the collector to obtain spherical titanium powder. The spherical titanium powder prepared by this method has advantages such as high purity and density, but the production cost is high.
3. Application of Spherical Titanium Powder
