Abstract
AlN powder was prepared by carbon reduction and subsequent nitridation method through the scale-up experiments of 0.7 ~ 1.5 kg per batch. AlN powder was synthesized using the mixture of $Al_2O_3$ powder and carbon black at $1,550{\sim}1,750^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 ~ 4 hours under nitrogen atmosphere (flow rate of nitrogen gas: $10{\sim}40{\ell}/min$) at $2.0{\times}10^{-1}Torr$. Experimental results showed that $1,700{\sim}1,750^{\circ}C$ for the reaction temperature, 3 hr for reaction time, and $40{\ell}/min$ for the flow rate of nitrogen gas were the optimal conditions. Also, in order to remove carbon in the synthesized AlN, the remained carbon was removed at $650{\sim}750^{\circ}C$ for 1 ~ 2 hr using horizontal tube furnace. The results showed that 1 : 3.2 mol ratio of $Al_2O_3$ to carbon black, reaction temperature of $750^{\circ}C$, reaction time of 2 hours, rotating speed of 1.5 rpm under atmosphere condition were the optimal conditions. Under these conditions, high-purity AlN powder over 99% could be prepared: carbon and oxygen contents of the AlN powder were 835 ppm and 0.77%, respectively.
