A method for preparing AlN
powder by catalytic
calcination, temperature reduction to a low temperature, and
microwave carbon thermal reduction comprises the following steps: (1), aluminum
hydroxide and
ammonium chloride are mixed, wetly milled, filtered and dried, so as to obtain a mixture of the
ammonium chloride and the aluminum
hydroxide; (2), the product obtained in step (1) and
acetylene black are mixed, aluminum
powder is added to the mixture, and the
wet milling and the
drying are performed, so as to obtain precursor
powder with uniform mixed carbon and aluminum; (3), the precursor obtained in step (2) is put into a high-temperature
sintering furnace, and the
nitrogen is introduced into the furnace, so as to carry out a
microwave carbon thermal reduction-nitridation reaction; and (4), the product obtained in step (3) is calcined in dry air, so as to prepare the aluminum powder. The invention has the advantages of simple process, low synthesis temperature, low material cost, simple equipment, short process flow, simple operation, high purity of the product and environmental friendliness. Furthermore, the invention is suitable for the fields of precision ceramics, electrons,
aviation /
aerospace and the like, can realize
mass industrial production, and has good market prospect.
