Abstract

Two ways to obtain nanosized silicon carbide (SiC) powders from the products of thermal decomposition of rice hulls and posterior thermal and chemical treatment of SiO2-C precursors are shown in the present paper. The reagents and products were analyzed using BET, DTA, IR, XRD and SEM/TEM. Precursors obtained from rice husks containing pure SiO2 and a controlled SiO2-C ratio were used for the synthesis of SiC. The synthesis of SiC proceeded for 30-45 min in a graphite heater furnace under protective Ar atmosphere at relatively low temperatures (1450oC-1550oC). Nanosized dimensions of reagents obtained from rice husks and their high activity allow obtaining SiC in relatively milder thermal regimes. TEM and XRD analysis revealed synthesis of nanostructured mainly β-SiC with a mean crystallite size of 40-100 nm. Due to their purity and nano-scale properties, the products obtained are appropriate for production of bulk SiC or design of SiC–based ultra high-temperature materials using the methods of powder metallurgy.
