Preparation of Both Reactive α-Si3N4 and SiC Mixed Powder in Flame-Isolation Nitridation Shuttle Kiln
α-Si3N4 possesses excellent sintering activity.Si3N4 powder is always synthesized by silicon nitridation,the intensive reaction heat is difficult to diffuse,which leads to high reaction temperature and conversion of α-Si3N4 to β-Si3N4,thus α-Si3N4 is difficult to be obtained.While flame-isolation nitridation shuttle kiln has much larger furnace volume to conduct reaction heat (effective volume:11500×4190× 1684mm),and it owns homogeneous temperature field and stable heat conduction which benefits the preparation of α-Si3N4.Thermodynamic analysis of Si-N system is shown that Si3N4 can be formed by two formats:direct nitridation of Si(s) and indirect nitridation of SiO(g); to ensure completely nitridation,the particle size of silicon powder should be less than 88μm.With polysilicon cutting waste as starting materials,both reactive α-Si3N4 and SiC mixed powder were successfully prepared in flame-isolation nitridation shuttle kiln.Because of the gas-gas reaction between SiO(g) and N2(g),α-Si3N4 is fiber-like and in favor of processing high quality Si3N4-based materials.
