TANTALUM PENTOXIDE - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
- potassium fluorotantalate method: the potassium fluorotantalate and sulfuric acid are heated to 400 ℃, the reactant is added water to boiling, and the acidified solution is hydrolyzed by sufficient dilution to form a hydrated oxide precipitate, after separation, washing and drying, tantalum pentoxide product was obtained.
- metal tantalum oxidation method: the metal tantalum is dissolved in nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid mixed acid, after extraction and purification, tantalum hydroxide is precipitated with ammonia water, and then washed with water, dried, burned and ground to obtain tantalum pentoxide finished product.

TANTALUM PENTOXIDE - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
with double lid polyethylene plastic bottle packaging, each bottle of net weight 5kg, tightly sealed, the outer polyethylene plastic bag is placed in a hard box, filled with paper scraps, to prevent movement, each box of net weight 20kg. It shall be stored in a ventilated and dry place, and shall not be stacked in the open air. The packaging should be sealed. It is necessary to prevent rain and damage of packaging during transportation. When there is a fire, it can be suppressed by water, sand, and fire. Toxicity and protection: dust on the respiratory tract mucosa has a stimulating effect, long-term exposure to dust prone to pneumoconiosis. The maximum allowable concentration of tantalum oxide is 10mg/m3. In the environment with high dust content, it is necessary to wear anti-virus masks, to prevent the emission of oxide dust, grinding, packaging process should be mechanized, closed operation.

TANTALUM PENTOXIDE - Reference Information
| EPA chemical substance information | information provided by: ofmpeb.epa.gov (external link) |
| Overview | tantalum oxide generally refers to tantalum pentoxide, also known as "tantalum anhydride", white orthorhombic crystals. Its chemical nature is more stable, resistant to general acid and alkali, heating will not be hydrogen chloride or hydrogen bromide erosion. Co-melting with alkali metal hydroxides or carbonates yields the corresponding insoluble tantalates, which are hydrolyzed by washing with water to form a precipitate of hydrated tantalum pentoxide. |
| Application | tantalum oxide can be used to prepare tantalum metal, optical glass, electronic equipment and tantalum carbide intermediates, it can be used for drawing lithium tantalate single crystal and manufacturing special optical glass with high refraction and low dispersion, and can be used as catalyst in chemical industry. |
| structural properties | tantalum oxide is a diamond-shaped columnar body that remains White at 1000-1200 °c, A further increase in temperature turned gray. Two variants are known: α-ta2o5 (high-temperature type) and β-Ta2O5 (low-temperature type), and the temperature for the transition from the β-type to the α-type is 1360±5 °c. The α-form has a melting point of 1872±10 °c and a relative density of 8.37; The β-form has a melting point of 1785±30 °c and a relative density of 8.18. Β-ta2o5. It has been converted to amorphous binary pentoxide prior to melting, and the amorphous body has a relative density of 7.3. |
| preparation | Step 1: high purity tantalum solution is prepared from impurity tantalum solution material by liquid-liquid extraction method, the tantalum liquid was first driven into a neutralization precipitation tank, and NH3 gas was passed through with stirring to make the solution PH = 8-9 to produce a precipitate of Ta(OH)5, which was then filtered through a filter press or vacuum. Then the tantalum hydroxide is put into the decomposition tank again, hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid are added to dissolve, and the high-purity tantalum liquid is obtained by secondary extraction with organic matter; Step 2, ammonia-neutralizing the high-purity tantalum liquid to PH>9, tantalum hydroxide is generated; Step 3, Ta(OH)5 is then transferred to a vacuum filtration water washing tank, washed and filtered with pure water until the filtrate contains F<0.02g/L, after passing the washing, it is transferred to the drying oven for drying; Step 4. The high purity tantalum hydroxide after drying is calcined in stages according to the following steps:(1) the temperature is raised to 200 ° C. For 2 hours;(2) then the temperature is raised to 500 ℃ for 5 hours;(3) the temperature is raised to 650 ℃ for 2 hours;(4) the temperature is raised to 800 ℃ for 4 hours;(5) after cooling to 200 degrees Celsius, it is released and sieved to obtain high purity tantalum pentoxide. |
