Concentration and state of light elements in titanium carbide nanopowders

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the effect of process parameters (temperature) in the reduction of titanium oxide with calcium hydride and calcium carbide on the concentrations and state of light elements (H, O, N, C, and S) in the reaction product and identified the oxygen-containing phases present in the titanium carbide (TiC) nanopowders obtained by reducing TiO2 with calcium hydride and calcium carbide. The oxygen present in the powders can be divided qualitatively and quantitatively into oxygen in adsorbed water, oxygen in organic compounds on the surface, and oxygen in the oxide layer on the surface of the carbide nanoparticle. We have performed fractional gas analysis for carbon in the titanium carbide nanopowders and assessed the effect of synthesis temperature on the average particle size and oxygen content of the nanopowders.
