Description of Magnesium Nitride Powder :

Structure of magnesium nitride

Magnesium nitride is a white or yellowish solid, usually in hexagonal crystal form. In the crystal structure, each magnesium atom forms a nitride bond with three nitrogen atoms, and each nitrogen atom forms a coordination bond with three magnesium atoms. This structure gives magnesium nitride a high melting point and hardness.

The properties of magnesium nitride

Physical properties: Magnesium nitride has a density of 1.9g/cm³ and has high thermal and electrical conductivity. In addition, its hardness is also high, up to 6.5.

Chemical properties: Magnesium nitride has high chemical stability and is insoluble in water but can react with acid to form the corresponding salts. At high temperatures, magnesium nitride decomposes and releases nitrogen.

Production Method of Magnesium Nitride Mg3N2 powder：

Direct nitriding

The direct nitriding method is the natural reaction of magnesium powder with nitrogen at high temperatures to obtain magnesium nitride. This method requires a higher temperature and purity of nitrogen and is, therefore, more expensive. At the same time, due to the increased activity of magnesium powder, it is easy to occur in an oxidation reaction, so it is necessary to add an appropriate amount of nitride or carbon and other substances to inhibit the oxidation reaction.

Thermal decomposition method

The thermal decomposition method combines magnesium nitrate or magnesium chloride with ammonia to form a double salt pr precipitation. Then, the residue was thermally decomposed to obtain magnesium nitride. This method is simple rate and low cost. However, due to the high crystal water content precipitated by double salt, magnesium nitride with high purity can be obtained after many drying and thermal decomposition.

Combustion method

The combustion method is to mix magnesium powder with ammonium nitrate in a particular proportion and react after ignition to obtain magnesium nitride. This method requires controlling the reaction temperature and time to ensure the purity and quality of the product. At the same time, due to the use of hazardous chemicals such as ammonium nitrate, it is necessary to petition for safety.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a new method for preparing magnesium nitride, which is to prepare magnesium nitride by electrolysis of molten magnesium nitrate and nitrogen mixture at high temperatures. This method has high production efficiency, high temperatures thigh-voltage temperature, and high voltage power sup, so the cost is higher.

Examples of synthesis (Reaction of ammonia solution of ammonium sulfate with magnesium hydroxide)

Magnesium nitride can be prepared by reacting ammonia solution of ammonium sulfate with magnesium hydroxide. First, magnesium hydroxide was added to the ammonia solution of ammonium sulfate, and the reaction temperature and time were controlled to obtain magnesium nitride precipitation. After filtration, washing, and drying, high-purity magnesium nitride was obtained. This method is simple to operate, low-cost, and suitable for small-scale production.
