Research on the Preparation of Antimony Nanoparticles by Mechanical Ball Milling

Article Preview

Abstract:

Taking antimony powder with 75μm of average particle size as raw material, the antimony nanoparticles were synthesized by mechanical ball milling. Crystalline structure, morphology and particle size of the antimony nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, TEM and FT-IR. The effect of milling mediums and ball milling speed on results antimony nanoparticles were studied using dry grinding and wet grinding methods. The results show that the antimony nanoparticles can be prepared successfully by wet process of ball milling. When the ball milling speed is 150 r/min and the milling mediums is a composites of distilled water and OP-10, the best antimony nanoparticles were prepared, which is high dispersibility and the average particle size is 10 nm.
