Low Temperature Direct Reactions Between Elemental Silicon and Liquid Ammonia or Amines for Ceramics and Chemical Intermediates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
Direct processes that may be used to manufacture high purity silicon nitride or silicon carbide are described. Elemental silicon has been found to react directly with liquid ammonia and amines at low temperature to yield compounds for both the ceramic and chemical industries. Silicon-amine direct reactions, previously thought not to occur, were investigated by using 29Si NMR, IR, UV, Raman, XRD, ICP, EDS and TGA methods to detect and characterize product formation. The [Si,N,H] and [Si,C,N,H] products transform to silicon nitride or silicon carbide respectively when heated above 1300°C.
