Field of Application This invention relates to a method for producing raw material powder for BaO-Y 2 O 3 -CuO-based superconducting ceramics, and in particular,
The present invention relates to a method for calcination of a raw material powder for superconducting ceramics, using Ba(NO 3 ) 2 as a raw material powder for a BaO source to obtain a calcination raw material powder consisting of an orthorhombic low-temperature stable phase. BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as a method for calcining starting materials for producing BaO-Y 2 O 3 -CuO-based superconducting ceramics, the starting materials have a particle size of 3 μm or less and a purity of 99.9%.
The above BaCO 3 , Y 2 O 3 , and CuO powders were blended and mixed according to the required composition ratio, and then heated at 900°C in the atmosphere.
It was calcined at a temperature of ~1000℃. Since BaCO 3 is used as a Ba source as a starting material,
Since the decomposition temperature of BaCO 3 BaO + CO 2 ↑ is over 850°C, the calcination temperature needs to be over 900°C.
Even at a calcination temperature of 950℃, complete decarboxylation does not occur.
On the other hand, the sintering reaction progresses gradually, and the calcination temperature and sintering temperature come to overlap, resulting in the following problems. That is, if the blended raw material powder is insufficiently calcined, a trace amount of BaCO 3 remains in the calcined powder, and when the calcined powder is used for sintering, the sintered body may shrink abnormally or crack. I was afraid. In addition, if calcination is performed sufficiently, the sintering reaction will progress and the required fine powder will not be obtained. Therefore, if grain growth of the powder occurs, the orthorhombic crystals will become stable at low temperatures when the temperature is lowered after calcination. It was difficult for the phase transition to reach the inside of the particles, and there was a risk that a mixed structure of a superconducting phase and a non-superconducting phase would be generated within the particles. Purpose of the Invention In view of the current situation, the present invention solves the problems in the conventional calcination method and develops an orthorhombic crystal that is optimal for producing BaO-Y 2 O 3 -CuO ceramics having excellent superconductivity. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for calcination of raw material powder for superconducting ceramics, which can yield raw material powder for calcination having a low-temperature stable phase structure. Summary of the Invention In order to solve the problems of the conventional method, the inventor conducted various studies on the starting material powder and calcination conditions in the production of BaO-Y 2 O 3 -CuO-based superconducting ceramics. Ba
By using Ba(NO 3 ) 2 as a source, the conventional
It is possible to perform calcination at a temperature 200°C lower than the calcination temperature when BaCO 3 is used, and by performing calcination under the calcination conditions at a specific O 2 concentration, the BaO produced can be Reacts reversibly with CO2 in the atmosphere
This invention was completed based on the discovery that the formation of BaCO 3 is prevented and that the transition to a superconducting phase can be completely achieved through oxygen absorption when the temperature is lowered after calcination. That is, in this invention, after mixing required amounts of Ba(NO 3 ) 2 , Y 2 O 3 , and CuO powder as starting materials, the mixed powder is circulated in an atmosphere of 100 vol% O 2 at 1 atm to 10 atm. While moving or stirring
This is a method for calcination of raw material powder for superconducting ceramics, which is characterized by holding the powder at 600°C to 850°C for 1 hour or more and then slowly cooling it at a cooling rate of 2°C/min or less. Preferred embodiment of the invention In this invention, the starting raw material powder has a purity of 99.9%.
Above, the particle size is preferably 1 μm or less, and with such properties
Starting materials Ba(NO 3 ) 2 , Y 2 O 3 , and CuO are mixed in a desired composition ratio. Thereafter, the mixed powder is rotated or stirred in a 100% O 2 atmosphere of 1 atm to 10 atm under heating conditions of maintaining the temperature at 600° C. to 850° C. for 1 hour or more. As the rotating and stirring method which is a feature of this invention, any known method can be applied as long as sufficient contact of the mixed powder with O 2 is ensured. This rotating method involves using a tilted rotary kiln, charging the mixed powder from above, and causing the mixed powder to rotate and fall in the kiln while coming into contact with an O 2 atmosphere, thereby calcining the kiln. is available. In addition, the stirring method in this invention is as follows:
The mixed powder is stored in a powder storage container with an O 2 gas inlet hole provided below, and a gas containing 100 vol% or more of O 2 is blown into the mixed powder in the container through the O 2 gas inlet hole. When the powder is mixed, the mixed powder is stirred by O 2 gas and comes into close contact with each other, and then calcined under the heating conditions described above. Reason for limitation In this invention, the reason why the atmosphere is 100% O 2 is that when Ba(NO 3 ) 2 decomposes to become BaO or when the temperature is lowered, BaO reacts with remaining CO 2 components.
It prevents barium carbonate from turning into stable barium carbonate, and
This is to completely decompose Ba(NO 3 ) 2 . In addition, if the pressure in a 100% O 2 atmosphere is less than 1 atm, there is a risk of oxygen deficiency when the temperature drops.
Moreover, if the pressure exceeds 10 atm, a special pressure device will be required and it is not practical, so the pressure is limited to 1 atm to 10 atm. In addition, in this invention, the heating conditions for the mixed powder that is rotated or stirred are below 600°C.
Decomposition of (NO 3 ) 2 and sufficient calcination reaction cannot be expected, and if the temperature exceeds 850°C, sintering of particles will proceed and grain growth will begin, which is undesirable.
The temperature shall be 850℃. In addition, the holding time must be at least 1 hour in order to decompose Ba(NO 3 ) 2 and cause a sufficient calcining reaction. Preferably,
It is best to hold the temperature at 700°C to 750°C for 10 to 20 hours. In this invention, the reason why the starting materials are heated under specific conditions in an O 2 atmosphere while rotating or stirring, and then slowly cooled is because the orthorhombic crystal, which is a low-temperature stable phase (superconducting phase), is a tetragonal crystal, which is a high-temperature stable phase. This is because it has a higher oxygen content than crystals, and therefore needs to absorb oxygen in order to transition to a superconducting phase. Therefore, it is necessary to cool slowly and slowly under an O 2 atmosphere. The cooling rate is preferably 2° C./min or less. Effects of the Invention According to the method of this invention, forced contact between the mixed raw material powder and the O 2 atmosphere is sufficiently carried out at a low temperature.
By using 100vol% O2 and high O2 partial pressure atmosphere,
The produced BaO is prevented from reversibly reacting with CO 2 in the atmosphere to produce BaCO 3 , and no non-superconducting phase remains in the produced calcined powder, which is a uniform mixture consisting entirely of superconducting phases. A powder is obtained. The resulting calcined powder was finely pulverized to a desired particle size, and the crystal structure of the finely pulverized calcined powder was investigated by X-ray diffraction, and it was found that it consisted of an orthorhombic low-temperature stable structure. The finely pulverized calcined powder obtained by the method of this invention is
After sintering at 930°C to 950°C at a pressure of 1 atm in an atmosphere containing O 2 100vol% or more, the entire sintered body becomes orthorhombic by cooling at a cooling rate of 2°C/min or less. Excellent superconducting ceramics consisting of a low-temperature stable phase can be obtained. Example Ba(NO 3 ) 2 with a purity of 99.9% or more and a particle size of 1.5 μm or less,
Y 2 O 3 and CuO powder were blended at a molar ratio of 2:1:3 and mixed for 6 hours in a ball mill containing alcohol. Thereafter, when the mixed powder is introduced from above into a pressurized rotary kiln with a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 4 m and an inclination angle of 25°, which is filled with an atmosphere of 100 vol% O 2 at 1 atm, the mixed powder flows downward. It falls while rotating. In this device, the material was heated by holding it at 750° C. for 10 hours while rotating and falling, and then cooled in a furnace. The obtained calcined powder was finely pulverized. Obtained particle size
The crystal structure of the calcined powder of 1 μm or less was measured by X-ray diffraction, and it was found to be a low-temperature stable phase consisting of orthorhombic crystals. Then, the calcined powder was
Using a die made of SiC material, hot pressing was carried out at 600° C. and a pressure of 500 Kg/cm 2 for 10 hours in an atmosphere of 100 vol% O 2 . Thereafter, it was cooled at a cooling rate of 1° C./min to obtain a sintered body with dimensions of 10 mm in diameter and 5.5 mm in height. The microstructure and crystal structure of the obtained sintered body were investigated using X-ray diffraction and a microscope, and it was found that the sintered body has an orthorhombic low-temperature stable phase and is a superconductor exhibiting the Meissner effect with a Tc of 90〓. Ceramics were obtained. Comparative Example After mixing Ba(NO 3 ) 2 , Y 2 O 3 , and CuO powder with the same composition ratio as in Example 1 with a purity of 99.9% or more and a particle size of 1.5 μm or less, the same inclined pressure rotary kiln as in Example was used. As in the example, the mixed powder is introduced from above, and the mixed powder is rotated downward as it falls. In the above device, the samples were calcined under the conditions shown in Table 1 during rotating and falling, and then cooled to the cooling conditions shown in Table 1. The obtained calcined powder is finely pulverized to obtain a particle size of 1μ.
Table 2 shows the results of measuring the crystal structure of the calcined powder with a diameter of m or less using an X-ray diffraction method.
