Using the wastes of Ta powder fabrication process for capacitor, TaC powder was synthesized by SHS method. In previous to synthesis, the waste Ta was needed of milling and deoxidization treatments for active reaction and prevention of oxidation. In SHS reaction, it was found that the TaC single phase was obtained in composition of 5～6wt.％C. The reaction temperature was affected by the compaction pressure of the specimens, exhibiting the maximum values at 1600psi, respectively.

We report the feasibility of TaC production via self-propagating high temperature synthesis, and the influence of the initial green compact density on the final composite particle size. Experiments are carried out from a minimum pressure of 0.3 MPa, the pressure at which the initial green body becomes self-standing, up to 3 MPa, the point at which no further combustion occurs. The green density of the pellets varies from 29.99% to 42.97%, as compared with the theoretical density. The increase in green density decreases the powder size of TaC, and the smallest particle size is observed with 1.5 MPa, at $10.36{\mu}m$. Phase analysis results confirm the presence of the TaC phase only. In the range of 0.3-0.5 MPa, traces of unreacted Ta and C residues are detected. However, results also show the presence of only C residue in the matrix within the pressure range of 0.6-3.0 MPa.
