Исследование процесса гранулирования нанопорошка системы W – Ni – Fe методом распылительной сушки

Abstract

A method for obtaining nanopowder microgranules of the W – Ni – Fe system (composition of the VNJ-90) of a micron size range by spray drying of a suspension based on composite nanoparticles obtained by plasma chemical synthesis is considered. The parameters of operation of the Buchi Mini Spray Dryer B-290 spray drying laboratory unit with an ultrasonic nozzle have been experimentally determined, providing for the production of nanopowder microgranules of VNJ-90 with an output of the target fraction of 25 – 63 µm at the level of 65 %. The dependence of the size and morphology of the obtained granules on the choice of the dispersion medium, the concentration of the dispersed phase and the organic binder in the suspension is established. The effect of the suspension flow rate during spray drying on the yield of granules of a fraction of 25 – 63 µm was evaluated. The test of the manufactured experimental sample of nanopowder microgranules in the process of plasma spheroidization was carried out.
