Abstract:
The solid-state reaction synthesis of sphene were studied by using CaCO
3, TiO
2, H
2SiO
3, Nd
2O
3 and Al
2O
3 as raw materials to prepare of sphene synroc, and by means of XRD, EDS and SEM analysis as well. The influence of Al
3+ ion introduction to sphene on the immobilization quantity of neodymium in sphene synroc was studied. When Al3+ was introduced to sphene as compensation of electricity price, Nd
3+ could be well solidified to Ca
1-yNd
yTi
1-yAl
ySiO
5. The immobilization quantity is in the range of 12.3%-13.56%. With no compensation of electricity price, Nd
3+ would be more difficulty to be solidified to Ca
1-3/2yNd
yTiSiO
5. The immobilization quantity is approximately 3.5%. The appropriate synthesis temperature of sphene solid solution is 1 270 ℃.
