Abstract
Nickel fine powders were prepared from aqueous nickel chloride solution containing organic solvents and the effect of the addition of the organic solvent on the formation of nickel powders were investigated. All products were spherical particles in the range of 0.1∼1.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the agglomeration of particles did not appear. In case of containing 40 vol% of 1-propanol, the particle size reduction and homogeneity of the powders were remarkable. The average particle size and the specific surface area of the powders produced with 40 vol% of 1-propanol were 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 16.4 m$^2$/g respectively. The reduction reaction time by hydrazine decreased with increasing of the content of 1-propanol, and was 5 min for 40 vol% of 1-propanol. The oxidation of synthesized nickel powders occurred at 320$^{\circ}C$ and weight loss at 300$^{\circ}C$ was due to dehydration of Ni(OH)$_2$.
유기용매를 함유하는 염화니켈 수용액으로부터 Ni 미분말을 제조하였고 Ni 분말형성에 미치는 유기용매 첨가의 영향을 검토하였다. 모든 생성물들은 0.1~l.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 범위의 구형입자들이었고 입자들간의 응집은 관찰되지 않았다. 1-propanol이 40 vol% 첨가된 경우 분말의 입경감소와 균일성이 현저하였다. 이들 분말에 대한 평균입경과 비표면적은 각각 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$와 16.4 m$^2$/g이었다. 1-propanol의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 hydrazine에 의한 환원반응시간은 감소하였고, 1-propanol이 40 vol%가 첨가된 경우 환원시간은 약 5분이었다. Ni 합성 분말은 32$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 산화되었고, 30$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서의 중량 감소는 Ni(OH)$_2$의 탈수에 기인한 것이다.
