    摘要: A method produces tantalum powder. The method includes: (1) uniformly mixing a tantalum powder raw material, metal magnesium and at least one alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal halide, loading the mixture into a container, and putting the container in a furnace; (2) raising the temperature of the furnace to 600-1200° C. in the presence of inert gas, and soaking; (3) at the end of soaking, lowering the temperature of the furnace to 600-800° C., vacuumizing the interior of the furnace to 10 Pa or less, soaking under the negative pressure so that the excessive metal is separated; (4) thereafter, raising the temperature of the furnace to 750-1200° C. in the presence of inert gas, and soaking so that the tantalum powder is sintered in the molten salt after oxygen reduction; (5) then cooling to room temperature and passivating to obtain a mixed material containing halide and tantalum powder; and (6) separating the tantalum powder from the resulting mixture.

    摘要: A low-carbon, high-purity tantalum pentoxide powder has a carbon content of no greater than 15 ppm. A preparation method for the powder includes: (1) adding a fluotantalic acid (H2TaF7) solution into a reaction kettle, controlling the temperature of the reaction kettle at 30-60° C., adding a precipitator until the pH of the reaction solution is 8-10, then stopping introducing ammonia, and aging to obtain a tantalum hydroxide slurry; (2) filtering and washing the slurry obtained in step (1), and then carrying out solid-liquid separation to obtain a tantalum hydroxide filter cake; (3) drying the filter cake obtained in step (2) to obtain white tantalum hydroxide powder; (4) calcining the tantalum hydroxide powder obtained in step (3), crushing and screening the calcined sample to obtain tantalum pentoxide powder; and (5) subjecting the tantalum pentoxide powder obtained in step (4) to heat treatment at a temperature of 1000-1500° C. to obtain the powder.
