The reaction of [Cu(NH3)4]2^+ complex with hydrazine hydrate gives spherical monodispersed fine copper powders. The spherical copper powder with a uniform size of 3.5 ± 0.5 μtm was processed to obtain flake copper powder having a uniform size of 8-10 μm, excellent dispersibility and uniform shape.

The results indicated that the compaction density of specimens increased with the augment of discharge voltage and time. During unidirectional compaction, there was a density gradient along the loading direction in the compacted specimen, and the minimum compaction density was localized to the center of the bottom of the specimen. The larger the aspect ratio of a powder body, the higher the compaction density of the compacted specimen. And high conductivity drivers were beneficial to the increase of the compaction density. The iterative and the double direction compaction were efficient means to manufacture the homogeneous and high-density powder parts.展开更多

Spherical ultrafine cuprous oxide (Cu20) powder was prepared by glucose reduction of Cu(OH)2. The Cu20 particles were coated by Mg(OH)2 and reduced to metallic copper particles. At last, the copper particles were densified by high-temperature heat treatment. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tap density, and thermogravimetry (TG). It is found that the shape and size distribution of the copper powder are determined by the Cu20 powder and the copper particles do not agglomerate during high-temperature heat treatment because of the existence of Mg(OH)2 coating. After densification at high temperature, the particle tap density increases from 3.30 to 4.18 g/cm3 and the initial oxidation temperature rises from 125 to 150~C.展开更多

The mixed powders were directly pressed into the desired shape of the shaped charge liner by the top direct-pressure way. The microscopic morphology of the spinning shaped charge liner, the sintered and non-sintered powder liners, and the particle properties of the copper powder were studied with scanning electron microscopy. The expe^mental results showed that the irregular copper powder could get together effectively and sintering could improve the compactness of the powder liner effectively. The wall thickness and density of the non-sintered and sintered liner were also tested, and it shows that sintering causes the wall thickness thinned and the density improved. The penetration depths of non-sintered powder liner, sintered powder liner and the spinning copper plate liner were tested with different standoff respectively, showing that the penetration properties of sintered powder liner are well.展开更多

This process consists of extraction of copper, purification and particle size reduction. In the first step, reductive metal scraps were added to acidic copper chloride waste enchants produced in the PCB industry to obtain copper powder. Composition analysis showed that this powder contained impurities such as Fe, Ni, and water. So, drying and purification were carried out by using microwave and a centrifugal separator. Thereby the copper powder had a purity of higher than 99% and spherical form in morphology. The copper powder size was decreased by ball milling.展开更多

The volume shrinkage, porosity, maximum pore size, permeability and thermal conductivity of wicks sintered from two oxide-reduced (OR) powders were compared with one from water-atomized (WA) powder. The green specimens were sintered at temperatures from 800 to 1000 ℃ in a tube furnace under a reduction stream of 10% hydrogen and 90% argon. The results show that the property variations of OR - 100 and WA wicks due to porosity changes have a similar tendency and range. Nine hundred degree celsius is a recommended sintering temperature for producing ideal wicks for use in heat pipes.

The effect of the solution composition and plating conditions on the electroless copper plating was studied. The uncoated and coated powders were subjected to the microstructural studies by SEM and the phases were analyzed by XRD. The results indicate that the Mo powders are coated with copper,at the same time,Mo-Cu composite powders with Cu content ranging from 15% to 85%(mass fraction) can be obtained. The optimal values of pH,HCHO concentration and temperature are in the ranges of 12-13,22-26 ml/L and 60-65 ℃,respectively.

The e?ects of physicochemical parameters on biosorption capacities such as stirring speed, pH, biosorbent dose, initial concentrations of copper, and ionic strength were studied. The biosorption capacities of NHBL increased with increase in pH, stirring speed and copper concentration but decreased with increase in biosorbent dose and ionic strength. The isotherm study indicated that NHBL fitted well with Langmuir model compared to Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The maximum biosorption capacity determined from Langmuir isotherm was 14.97 mg/g at 27°C. The kinetic study revealed that pseudo- second order model fitted well the kinetic data, while Boyd kinetic model indicated that film diffusion was the main rate determining step in biosorption process. Based on surface area analysis, NHBL has low surface area and categorized as macroporous. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses revealed that hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino are the main functional groups involved in the binding of copper ions. Complexation was one of the main mechanisms for the removal of copper ions as indicated by FT-IR spectra. Ion exchange was another possible mechanism since the ratio of adsorbed cations (Cu2+ and H+) to the released cations (Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) from NHBL was almost unity. Copper ions bound on NHBL were able to be desorbed at > 99% using 0.05 mol/L HCl, 0.01 mol/L HNO3, and 0.01 mol/L EDTA solutions.展开更多

文摘A novel process was developed to produce spherical copper powder for multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). Spherical ultrafine cuprous oxide (Cu20) powder was prepared by glucose reduction of Cu(OH)2. The Cu20 particles were coated by Mg(OH)2 and reduced to metallic copper particles. At last, the copper particles were densified by high-temperature heat treatment.

文摘According to the principles of simultaneous equilibrium and mass balance,a series of thermodynamic equilibrium equations of Cu2+-C2O42--NH3-NH4+-H2O system at ambient temperature were deduced theoretically and the logarithm concentration versus pH value(lg[Cu 2+ ]T—pH)diagrams at different solution compositions were drawn.The results show that when pH is below 5.0,copper ion reacts with C2O42-directly and the morphology of copper precursor powder is of pie-shape;when pH is above 5.0,copper ion coordinates with ammonia,and the precipitation proceeds slowly accompanying with the release of copper ions from the multi-coordinated2+ 3Cu(NH) n (n=1,2,···,5)and the morphologies of copper precursor powder are respectively of rod aggregation shape(when 5.0<pH<8.0)and of rod-shape(when pH>8.0).Some experiments were performed to confirm the relation between the total concentration of copper ion and pH value.It is shown that the thermodynamic mathematical model is correct and the calculated values are basically accurate.

文摘Mo powders with average particle size of 3 μm were attempted to coat with copper by electroless plating technique. The effect of the solution composition and plating conditions on the electroless copper plating was studied. The uncoated and coated powders were subjected to the microstructural studies by SEM and the phases were analyzed by XRD. The results indicate that the Mo powders are coated with copper,at the same time,Mo-Cu composite powders with Cu content ranging from 15% to 85%(mass fraction) can be obtained. The optimal values of pH,HCHO concentration and temperature are in the ranges of 12-13,22-26 ml/L and 60-65 ℃,respectively. The diffusion-shrinkage autocatalytic model is suggested for the growth mechanism of electroless coating over the surface.

文摘Direct electroreduction of solid cuprous chloride to prepare copper powder in a"neutral"ambient-temperature ionic liquid,1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid(BMIMBF4)was investigated.Cyclic voltammetry of the CuCl powder in a Pt-powder cavity microelectrode exhibited that solid CuCl can be electrochemical reduced in the ionic liquid.Chronoamperometry of the salt powder filled Mo-cavity electrode(current collector)in the ionic liquid further demonstrated the conversion of chloride to metal inside the cavity,as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy,energy-dispersive X-ray,and X-ray diffraction spectra.
文摘Molybdenum powders with a diameter of approximately 3 μn were coated with copper using the electroless plating technique in the pH 12.5-13 and temperature range of 55-75℃. The optimization of the electroless copper bath was evaluated through the combination of process parameters like pH and temperature. The optimized values ofpH and temperature were found to be 12.5 and 60℃, respectively, which attributes to the bright maroon color of the coating with an increase in weight of 46%. The uncoated and coated powders were subjected to microstructural studies using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the phases were analyzed using X-my diffrction (XRD). An attempt was made to understand the growth mechanism of the coating. The diffusion-shrinkage autocatalytic model was suggested for copper growth on the molybdenum surface.

文摘The effciency of sodium hydroxide treated rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) leaves powder (NHBL) for removing copper ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated. The e?ects of physicochemical parameters on biosorption capacities such as stirring speed, pH, biosorbent dose, initial concentrations of copper, and ionic strength were studied. The biosorption capacities of NHBL increased with increase in pH, stirring speed and copper concentration but decreased with increase in biosorbent dose and ionic strength. The isotherm study indicated that NHBL fitted well with Langmuir model compared to Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The maximum biosorption capacity determined from Langmuir isotherm was 14.97 mg/g at 27°C. The kinetic study revealed that pseudo- second order model fitted well the kinetic data, while Boyd kinetic model indicated that film diffusion was the main rate determining step in biosorption process. Based on surface area analysis, NHBL has low surface area and categorized as macroporous. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analyses revealed that hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino are the main functional groups involved in the binding of copper ions. Complexation was one of the main mechanisms for the removal of copper ions as indicated by FT-IR spectra. Ion exchange was another possible mechanism since the ratio of adsorbed cations (Cu2+ and H+) to the released cations (Na+, Ca2+, and Mg2+) from NHBL was almost unity. Copper ions bound on NHBL were able to be desorbed at > 99% using 0.05 mol/L HCl, 0.01 mol/L HNO3, and 0.01 mol/L EDTA solutions.
