Na3AlF6-Al2O3熔盐的Raman光谱和离子结构

基于测定的熔融冰晶石的Raman光谱和对散射系数的新理解,重新分析以前研究的942～1024℃的酸性NaF-AlF3熔盐中存在的不同离子团的含量。新的定量分析结果表明：对于分子比小于2的熔盐,AlF4-是含量最高的阴离子;当分子比为1.5时,其摩尔分数约为0.70;当分子比为2时,其摩尔分数为0.50。当分子比大于2.5时,AlF6^3-相对含量更高;当分子比为2.5时,其摩尔分数为0.45。然后,采用紫外Raman光谱法研究Na3AlF6-Al2O3熔盐的离子结构。研究结果表明：熔盐中存在八面体的AlF63-和四面体的AlF4^-,基团中的F-可能被O^2-部分取代。在Al2O3的质量分数大于4%的熔盐中存在具有大散射系数的Al2O2F4^2-。光谱中的波段随温度的升高发生蓝移。

Raman spectroscopy and ionic structure of Na_3AlF_(6-)Al_2O_3 melts

Raman spectrum of molten cryolite was recorded. Based on the new understanding of the scattering coefficients, contents of various structural entities in acidic NaF-AlF3 melts at 942-1 024 ℃ in previous research were reanalyzed. The new quantitative analysis results show that when cryolite ratio（CR） is less than 2, AlF4- is the dominant anion in the melts, and its mole fraction is about 0.70 for melts with CR=1.5 and 0.50 for melts with CR=2. When CR is more than 2.5, the mole fraction of AlF6^3- is relatively large, which is around 0.45 for melts with CR=2.5. Ionic structure of Na3AlF6-Al2O3 melts was investigated by UV-Raman spectroscopy. Octahedral AlF6^3- and tetrahedral AlF4- are proved to exist with possible partial replacement of F- by O^2-. Al2O2F4^2- with a large scattering coefficient also exists in the melts in which alumina concentration is more than 4% （mass fraction）. The increase of temperature causes blue-shift of the bands in the Raman spectra.
