Preparation and application of bismuth oxide

Bismuth oxide preparation

1. Add dropwise an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide without carbon dioxide to the bismuth nitrate solution (80-90°C), and mix well. The solution remains alkaline during the precipitation process, and the white, volume-swelling bismuth oxide hydrate Bi(OH)3 precipitates. This solution is heated and stirred for a short time to be dehydrated into yellow bismuth trioxide. After decanting with water, filtering and drying, the finished bismuth oxide is obtained.

2. Under nitrogen atmosphere, add 1.5mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution without carbon dioxide dropwise to 0.1mol/L bismuth nitrate solution dissolved in 1mol/L nitric acid (80-90℃) and mix. The solution is in the precipitation process Keep it alkaline. Although a white, volume-expanding bismuth oxide hydrate Bi(OH)3 will be precipitated, it will be dehydrated and become pale yellow bismuth trioxide after being stirred in a hot solution for a period of time. Decant and wash 15 times with air and carbon dioxide-free water, filter and dry.

3. After the metal bismuth is melted in a graphite crucible, the graphite electrode forms an arc with the metal surface under the oxygen flow, and is heated and oxidized. To ensure a sufficient supply of oxygen, the crucible should be placed in a large container, and oxygen should be continuously supplied. The reaction temperature is 750-800°C, and β-bismuth trioxide with a purity of 99.8% or more is quickly generated. After the product is quenched in water or on a cold metal plate, a high-temperature phase β-type product can be obtained.

4. Add Bi(NO3)3·5H2O acidic solution (20g dissolved in 2mol/L HNO3) slowly to excess sodium carbonate solution and stir vigorously. Obtain the Bi2O3CO3 precipitate, filter, wash, and dry. Place it in an aluminum boat and heat it in 650K air for about 1.5 hours to obtain β-Bi2O3

5. Burning bismuth subnitrate at 400 ~ 500 ℃ to remove NO3- ions (3 ~ 4h):

2BiONO3=Bi2O3 +NO+NO2+O2

After the combustion is over, all become lemon yellow after cooling, which is the finished product.

Overview of bismuth oxide Bi2O3 powder

Bismuth oxide is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula Bi2O3. The pure products are α-type, β-type, and δ-type. α type is yellow monoclinic crystal, relative density 8.9, melting point 825 ℃, soluble in acid, insoluble in water and alkali; β type is bright yellow to orange, tetragonal crystal system, relative density 8.55, melting point 860 ℃, soluble in acid, Insoluble in water. It is easily reduced to metallic bismuth by hydrogen, hydrocarbons, etc.; δ-Bi2O3 is a special material with cubic fluorite ore structure. One quarter of the oxygen ion position in its crystal lattice is empty, so it has very high oxygen ion conductivity. The main application objects of bismuth oxide are electronic ceramic powder materials, electrolyte materials, photoelectric materials, high-temperature superconducting materials, catalysts, etc. As an important additive in electronic ceramic powder materials, bismuth oxide generally requires a purity of 99.15% or more. The main application objects are zinc oxide varistors, ceramic capacitors, and ferrite magnetic materials.
