Abstract:
Based on SHS reductive reaction,TiB
2mixed powder was synthesized and the high-pure TiB
2 was obtained by acid-washing treatment.The effects of synthesis procedure and acid-washing conditions on the purity of TiB
2 powder were investigated,and the thermodynamics of acid-washing procedure for synthesized powder were analyzed.The experimental results showed that the chemical reaction of the TiO
2-B
2O
3-Mg system consisted of two parts.In the first step,the elements of B and Ti were reduced by Mg powder,secondly,the TiB
2 was formed by chemical combination of the two monomer elements.The purity of TiB
2 powder mainly depends on acid-washing conditions.With the concentration of hydrochloric acid and amount of excessive acid increasing and the acid-washing time prolonging,the purity of TiB
2 powder increase gradually.Moreover,with the acid-washing temperature rising up,the acid-washing velocity can be considerably quickened.
