 Technical Parameters of Zirconium-Carbide Nanoparticles and Nano ZrC Powder

Production Method of Nanoparticles Nano ZrC powder：

The production methods of nanometer zirconium carbide mainly include the solid, liquid, and gas-phase forms. The reliable phase method obtains nano-zirconium carbide by mixing the zirconium source and carbon source in proportion, then carbonizing at high temperatures. The liquid phase method prepares nanometer zirconium carbide by adding a precipitating agent or solvent in the zirconium source and carbon source solution and then by heat treatment or chemical reaction. The vapor phase method is to prepare nano-zirconium carbide by adding a catalyst in the vapor of the zirconium source and carbon source, then reacting at high temperatures.

Solid phase method

The solid phase method is simple and economical for preparing nanometer zirconium carbide. The technique involves mixing zirconium sources (such as zirconium dioxide) and carbon sources (such as graphite) in proportion and then carbonizing them at high temperatures. In the carbonization process, the zirconium and carbon sources react to form zirconium carbide, releasing oxygen. Since the carbonization process is carried out at high temperatures, special equipment and techniques are needed to control the temperature and atmosphere. In addition, the disadvantage of this method is that the size of the nano-zirconium carbide prepared is significant, and it is challenging to obtain nano-level products.

Liquid phase method

The liquid phase method is an effective method for preparing nanometer zirconium carbide. The technique is to prepare nano-zirconium carbide by adding a precipitating agent or solvent to the zirconium source and carbon source solution and then by heat treatment or chemical reaction. Specifically, the method is to add a precipitating agent (such as ammonia) to the resolution of zirconium source (such as zirconium chloride) and carbon source (such as methanol), and then heat treatment or chemical reaction at a specific temperature to obtain nano zirconium carbide. The advantage of this method is that the particle size and morphology of nano-zirconium carbide can be controlled, and a high concentration of products can be obtained. In addition, the process can also adjust the performance of nano-zirconium carbide by changing the type and concentration of precipitant. However, the disadvantage of this method is that it requires the use of many organic solvents and precipitating agents, causing environmental pollution.

Gas phase method

The gas phase method is an efficient method for preparing nanometer zirconium carbide. The technique is to prepare nano-zirconium carbide by adding a catalyst in the vapor of the zirconium source and carbon source and then react at high temperatures. Specifically, the method is to pass the smoke from a zirconium source (such as zirconium tetrachloride) and a carbon source (such as methane) through a catalyst (such as iron, cobalt, nickel and other metals) and then react at high temperatures to obtain nano-zirconium carbide. The advantage of this method is that large-scale production can be achieved, and high-purity products can be received. In addition, the process can also adjust the performance of nano-zirconium carbide by changing the type and concentration of the catalyst. However, the disadvantage of this method is that it requires high-temperature equipment and technology, and the requirements for equipment are high.
