Spherical titanium powder is an important metal powder, and its Preparation and application have high academic and economic value. This article will introduce the properties, preparation methods, and application fields of spherical titanium powder.


1. Properties of Spherical Titanium Powder

Spherical titanium powder is an inorganic powder composed of titanium and oxygen elements with the molecular formula TiO2. This powder has the following characteristics:


High purity: Spherical titanium powder has a very high purity and does not contain harmful impurities to the human body.


Good chemical stability: Spherical titanium powder does not react with water and oxygen at room temperature and has good chemical stability.


Excellent physical properties: Spherical titanium powder has high density, high specific surface area, and other physical properties, which can be widely used in catalysts, photocatalysis, coatings, and other fields.

Beneficial for environmental protection: Spherical titanium powder has minimal environmental pollution during production and use, making it a green and environmentally friendly material.



2. Preparation of spherical titanium powder

The preparation methods of spherical titanium powder mainly include the following:


Chemical vapor deposition method


Chemical vapor deposition is a commonly used methodss for preparing spherical titanium powder. This method involves reacting titanium compounds such as titanium tetrachloride with hydrogen and oxygen under certain reaction conditions to generate titanium oxide. This is then reduced to spherical titanium powder using the reducing agent such as hydrogen gas.


Sol-gel method

The Sol-gel method is a method that takes titanium alkoxide as raw material, adds appropriate solvent and coordination agent, heats and stirs to dissolve it and form a sol, then aging the sol, and then pyrolysis to obtain spherical titanium powder.


Mechanical crushing method

The mechanical crushing method is a method of mechanically crushing block or granular titanium alloys to obtain spherical titanium powder. This method has the advantages of a simple production process and low cost, but the purity and particle size of the product may not be ideal.


Plasma method

The plasma method is a method of using high-temperature plasma to decompose titanium compounds into titanium atoms and deposit them on the surface of the collector to obtain spherical titanium powder. The spherical titanium powder prepared by this method has advantages such as high purity and density, but the production cost is high.


3. Application of Spherical Titanium Powder

Spherical titanium powder has wide applications in many fields due to its unique properties and excellent physical and chemical properties:


Catalyst field

Spherical titanium powder has a high specific surface area and good chemical stability, making it an ideal catalyst material. In the field of catalysts, spherical titanium powder is widely used in various catalytic processes of chemical reactions, such as the catalytic synthesis and decomposition reactions of organic compounds such as alkanes and olefins.


Photocatalysis field

Spherical titanium powder has also been widely used in the field of photocatalysis. Due to its high specific surface area and good photochemical stability, it is widely used in photocatalytic reactions, such as photocatalytic decomposition reactions of organic dyes and solar cells.


Coatings field

Spherical titanium powder has a wide range of applications in the field of coatings. Due to its high density and chemical stability, it is used as a filler and pigment in coatings, which can improve the hardness, weather resistance, water resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance of coatings.


Ceramic field

Spherical titanium powder is also applied in the field of ceramics. It can be used to manufacture high-strength, high-hardness ceramic materials and reinforced ceramic materials, as well as to prepare high-efficiency ceramic filters.


Medical field

Spherical titanium powder also has applications in the medical field. Due to its high chemical stability and good biocompatibility, it is widely used in the manufacturing of biomedical materials such as artificial joints, dental plants, and other medical devices.


Electronic field

Spherical titanium powder also has applications in the electronic field. It can be used to manufacture electronic components such as high-efficiency electrode materials and capacitor materials. It can also be applied as additives, such as conductive agents and flame retardants, in the manufacturing of electronic products.


Aerospace field

Spherical titanium powder is also applied in the aerospace field. Due to its high density and strength, it is widely used in the manufacturing of aerospace components and space structural components.


Other fields

In addition to the above application fields, spherical titanium powder can also be applied in environmental protection, metallurgy, and energy fields. For example, it can be used in environmental protection fields, such as removing harmful substances from exhaust gas and purifying wastewater. It can be used to prepare high-strength lightweight alloys and high-efficiency battery materials in metallurgical and energy fields.
