The invention relates to a novel method for preparing
zirconium tungstate powder, which is characterized by comprising the following process steps of: weighing in a stoichiometric ratio of ZrO2 to WO3 of 1:2, putting the ZrO2 and WO3 into a resin
ball mill, adding absolute
ethanol serving as a
solvent, performing ball milling in a
ball mill for 8 hours, standing for
sedimentation, removing an upper-layer clear
solvent,
drying in an oven, putting
powder into a
quartz crucible, heating at 600DEG C for 4 hours, taking out, and cooling in the air;
grinding for 40 minutes; regulating the temperature to be 800DEG C, heating for 8 hours, cooling together with a furnace, taking out, and
grinding for 40 minutes; heating at 900DEG C for 12 hours, cooling together with a furnace, taking out, and
grinding for 40 minutes; and putting ZrO2 and WO3 mixed
powder into a mold with the
diameter of 60mm, pressing under the pressure of 125MPa into a round sheet, and keeping the temperature of 1,220DEG C for 3 hours. Compared with the prior art, the novel method has the advantages that: the grain size is 0.5-1mu m, the purity is high, and the average coefficient of linear expansion is -5.33*10<-6> / K in a section of 20-700DEG C.
