Overview of Beryllium Nitride and Refining Methods

Overview of Be3N2 powder

Beryllium nitride Be3N2 is a self-color crystal with a body-centered cubic structure. Melting point is 2200±100℃, decomposing at 2240℃. Insoluble in ethanol. The crystal lattice melts and decomposes in a vacuum and is easily decomposed by water. Under the action of acid or alkali, it accelerates decomposition and releases ammonia. Ammonia reacts directly with metal to prepare high-temperature refractory materials and special ceramic materials for Sichuan parts. Metal beryllium is prepared by heating in ammonia gas flow, with simple reaction and high yield.

Beryllium Nitride Refining

The metal beryllium is crushed and sieved in a steel mortar (1600 holes/cm2 sieve), placed in a corundum boat, and dried ammonia gas is passed through the porcelain tube, and heated at 850°C for 3 hours. Then grind the sample into a fine powder in an agate mortar and heat it to 1000°C in a stream of ammonia. By repeating this operation three times, beryllium nitride Be3N2 with a purity of 0.94to 0.95can be obtained.

Application of beryllium nitride Be3N2 powder

Beryllium nitride Be3N2 powder is used in refractory ceramics and nuclear reactors, and produces radioactive carbon 14 for tracing applications.

Beryllium nitride Be3N2 powder reacts with inorganic acid to generate ammonia and the corresponding acid salt:

Be3n2 + 6 HCl→3 BeCl2 + 2 NH3

In a strong alkaline solution, beryllium salt is formed with the precipitation of ammonia:

Be3n2 + 6NaOH→3Na2BeO2 + 2NH3

Acid and alkali react violently. However, the reaction with water is very slow:

3N2 + 6H2O→3Be(OH)2 + 2NH3

May react violently with oxidants. It will be oxidized when heated to 600°C in air
