How to produce titanium nitride?

Russian President says if the European Union imposes an oil embargo, Europe will buy energy at the most expensive price and economic activity in Europe will weaken. Rosneft needs to change its business model. Russia will help facilitate settlement and access to loans and insurance in its own currency.

According to Reuters, the European Commission will unveil a 210 billion euro plan on how Europe can end its dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2027 and use its distance from Moscow to accelerate a shift to green energy. According to a draft document seen by Reuters, Brussels will propose a three-pronged plan to wean countries off Russian fuel: switch to importing more non-Russian gas, move more quickly to promote renewable energy, and work harder to conserve energy. The draft measures, which include EU law, non-binding plans, and possible recommendations by national governments, are subject to change before publication.

Austria is not a member of NATO and will not seek membership in the future, the Austrian Foreign Minister said in Brussels recently. He stressed that it was "their choice" for Sweden and Finland to seek NATO membership, while Austria would remain neutral.

The supply and prices of many other titanium nitride are expected to continue to be influenced by international situations.

Direct nitridation of titanium powder or TiH2:

The stoichiometric titanium nitride powder can be obtained by nitriding titanium powder in nitrogen or hydrogen atmosphere at 1273 ~ 1673K for 1h and repeated operation several times after the product is crushed.

2Ti+N2=2TiN.

It can also be nitrided with metal hydride TiH2, which can react below 1273K, and the equation is as follows:

2TiH2+N2=2TiN+2H2.

The advantage of this method is that it is easy to operate and high quality titanium nitride powder can be obtained, but the disadvantage is that the price of raw materials is too high to batch production, and this process is easy to produce powder sintering phenomenon, resulting in loss.

TiO2 carbothermal reduction nitridation method:

The carbothermal reduction nitridation method of TiO2 uses TiO2 as raw material, carbonaceous graphite as reductant and reacts with N2 to form TiN. The synthesis temperature is 1380 ~ 1800 ℃ and the reaction time is about 15h. In this reaction environment, carbon reacts not only with oxygen, but also with titanium to form TiC, because the crystal lattices of titanium carbide, titanium nitride and titanium oxide are very close, and they are easy to form a solid solution.

The purity of TiN obtained by this method is generally not high, and the content of O and C is on the high side. In order to obtain TiN with low content of O and C, higher reaction temperature and longer reaction time are needed.

Microwave carbothermal reduction method:

Microwave carbothermal reduction is a redox reaction with inorganic carbon as reducing agent at higher temperature. The specific operation is as follows: using titanium oxide as raw material, heating carbon by microwave until the temperature reaches 1200 ℃, and keeping the reduction reaction at this temperature for 1 h, the titanium nitride powder is obtained.

Compared with the conventional method, the titanium nitride powder prepared by this method has the advantages of high purity, low synthesis temperature (100 ℃, 200 ℃ lower than the original) and short period (1pm 15 of the conventional method).

Chemical vapor deposition:

The chemical vapor deposition method uses gaseous TiCl4 as raw material and H2 as reducing agent to react with N2 to form TiN. The synthesis temperature is 1100 ~ 1500 ℃. This process is often used for coatings on metal and ceramic surfaces to enhance the hardness and wear resistance of ceramics and metals.

This kind of synthetic TiN has high purity, but low production efficiency and high cost. This process is a common method to coat TiN film on the surface of metal, ceramic and other articles to make it beautiful.

Self-propagating high temperature synthesis:

Self-propagating high temperature synthesis is also called combustion synthesis. In this method, the titanium powder (billet) is ignited directly in nitrogen (limiting a certain pressure), and the titanium powder is burned in nitrogen to obtain TiN products. This process has been widely studied and commercialized in Russia, the United States and Japan.

Mechanical alloying method:

The mechanical alloying method is to put titanium powder in the system of ammonia or nitrogen and use high-energy ball mill to make them interact with each other under the strong collision and agitation of grinding balls to obtain nano-titanium nitride. this is a new synthesis method. In China, Liu Zhijian and others use TiH1.924 powder instead of Ti powder to react with nitrogen. By using this high-energy ball milling process, after 100h high-energy ball milling in flowing ammonia, almost all TiH1.924 is converted into TiN, and the conversion rate has been greatly improved. And Zhou Li and others later used the same method to prepare nano-titanium nitride powder, and the reaction time was only 9 h.

Molten salt synthesis method:

Molten salt synthesis method has not been reported in the preparation of titanium nitride, but the preparation of titanium nitride by this method is a good research direction. In this method, the low melting point molten salt is used as the reaction medium, the reactants can be dissolved in the molten salt, and the whole reaction is completed in the atomic environment. After the reaction is completed, the salt can be dissolved and filtered with a suitable solvent to get the product.

The product obtained by this method has the advantages of high purity, simple operation, short reaction time, no stringent requirements on reaction temperature, easy to control the morphology and particle size of the product, and no agglomeration.

Sol-gel method:

The sol-gel method is to mix the reactants evenly in the liquid phase, and then carry out the process of hydrolysis and condensation, and the reactants will form a transparent sol in the solution, which will form a gel after aging and slow polymerization. the gel is dried and solidified to get the materials we need.

Some organic solvents used in this method have toxic side effects and do some harm to the human body.

Against the backdrop of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Western sanctions imposed on Russia's natural gas exports, the price of natural gas and liquefied natural gas in the international market has soared, and the trend of returning to burning fuels such as oil and coal because natural gas cannot afford it has become increasingly prominent, Bloomberg reported recently. Data show that in early August, the price of natural gas on the international market was almost twice that of diesel, while the price of natural gas in Europe was almost three times that of high-sulfur fuel oil and propane. Industry insiders pointed out that many governments have recently announced that they will allow power stations to increase the use of oil and coal fuel because of concerns about the shortage of natural gas supply this winter. The International Energy Agency estimates that global oil demand will grow by 380000 barrels a day to 2.1 million barrels a day, based on the shift to oil in power stations and factories.

As the situation in the field of power generation varies from country to country, there are great differences in the extent to which countries use fuels such as oil and coal. Countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh have large facilities that can switch between natural gas and fuel. In some countries, coal-fired and oil-fired power stations have been decommissioned for a long time, and the maintenance conditions of the equipment are different, so it is doubtful whether they can resume operation quickly.
