Preparation of micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFe_2O_4 absorbent by self-reactive quenching method

Fe–Fe2O3–MnO2–sucrose–epoxy resin and O2 as reaction system and feed gas,separately,were used to prepare micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFe2O4absorbent by self-reactive quenching method which is integrated with flame jet,selfpropagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS),and rapidly solidification.The morphologies and phase compositions of hollow microspheres were studied by scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and energy dispersive spectroscopy.The results show that the quenching products are regular spherical substantially with hollow structure,particle size is between few hundreds nanometers and 5 lm.Phase compositions are diphase of Fe3O4,Mn3O4,and MnFe2O4,and the spinel soft magnetic ferrite MnFe2O4 with microwave magnetic properties is in majority.Collisions with each other,burst as well as‘‘refinement’’of agglomerate powders in flame field may be the main reasons for the formation of micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFeOabsorbent.

Preparation of hollow ceramic microspheres absorbent based on self-reactive quenching technology

A1 ＋ BaO2 ＋ Fe2O3 ＋ sucrose and O2 as reaction system and feeding gas, respectively, are used to prepare hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres （HMCMs） absorbent based on self-reactive quenching technology. The morphologies, particle size distribution, hollow structure and phase compositions were characterized by scanning electron microscope （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and size analysis. The results show that the quenching products possess high sphere-forming rate, and most of them are hollow structures. Owing to the self-burst, the particle size is between 40 and 70 μm. The phase compositions contain Al2O3, Fe3O4, Fe2O3, Ba2Fe14O22, BaO2 and BaFe4O7. The microwave absorbing tests show that the lowest reflectivity of HMCMs is -19 dB. The frequency bands less than -10 dB are from 13.0 to 15.8 GHz. The reasons for HMCMs possessing good microwave absorbing properties may be their magnetic and electrical properties as well as special hollow structure.

Preparation of Bauxite Ceramic Microsphere

Ceramic microspheres were prepared by using Chinese bauxite as raw materials through the centrifugal spray drying method. The control technology of microsphere size, degree of sphericity was researched. The ceramic microspheres were sintered by a double sintering process. The microstructure and composition of ceramic microsphere were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray energy spectroscopy. The results show that the degree of sphericity of the ceramic microsphere was good and the particle size was 10-100 μm. The XRD analysis reveals that the main crystalline phase of the ceramic microsphere was a-Al2O3 and mullite （3Al2O3·2SiO2）. The product can be used as reinforced material for composite material, especially for antiskid and hard wearing aluminum alloy coating.
