Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain acicular Si3N4 having relatively uniform particle size and free from granular Si3N4 by heating silica powder in a gaseous mixture of ammonia and hydrocarbon. CONSTITUTION:A mixture is produced by mixing 1mol of silica powder with 0.001-1.0mol of at least one kind of catalyst selected as necessary from transition metals, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halides of transition metals and halides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. The mixture is heated in a gaseous mixture of ammonia gas (NH3) and a hydrocarbon gas (CmHn) at 800-1,600 deg.C. The volume ratio of ammonia to CmHn in terms of CH4 is 0.5-2,000.

The conventional method for producing acicular silicon nitride, including the method described above, is a solid-state reaction in which a mixture of silica powder and carbon powder is reacted. For this reason, silica and carbon tend to be insufficiently mixed. If mixing is insufficient, the reaction will be non-uniform. If the reaction becomes non-uniform, the diameters of the generated whiskers may become uneven, and particulate silicon nitride is likely to be produced.

1. In the method for producing acicular silicon nitride of the present invention, silica powder, or silica powder containing a transition metal, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, a halide of a transition metal, a halide of an alkali metal, or a transition metal is added to the silica powder. At least one selected from six types of metal halides is added to obtain a 1ζ mixture as a starting material. The mixing ratio of the mixture is 0.001 to 1.0 parts by mole of at least one selected from the above six types to 1 part by mole of silica powder. Acicular silicon nitride is produced by heating silica powder or the above mixture at a temperature of 800°C to 1650°C in a mixed gas of ammonia (NH3) gas and hydrocarbon (C1ll-1n) gas. At least one type selected from six types means arbitrarily selecting one or more types from among the six types. Of course, you may choose all six types.

If it is less than 1 part by mole, no effect as a catalyst can be obtained.If it exceeds 1 part by mole, it will combine with the raw material silica to form a glass phase, significantly reducing the reaction rate.
