carbon deposits<\/a>, etc. In case of large metal clumps, inclined copper wire brush using toughness scraping.<\/p>\n\n
Clean up internal debris:<\/strong>\u00a0Use a long-handled copper wire brush or special tools to carefully go deep into the bottom and corner of the crucible. To clean up accumulated debris and avoid collision with the inner wall.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Soaking session<\/span><\/h3>\nMix detergent solution:<\/strong>\u00a0Mix in plastic container according to detergent instructions. If using dilute hydrochloric acid, mix it with water at 1:10 or 1:15 to ensure that the concentration is appropriate.<\/p>\n\n
Fully soak the crucible:<\/strong>\u00a0Place the initially cleaned crucible slowly to ensure immersion. Generally soak 2-4 hours, the stain can be extended seriously. So that the detergent reacts with the stain and softens the stain.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Deep cleaning<\/span><\/h3>\nClean with nylon brush:<\/strong>\u00a0Remove after soaking and gently brush the inside and outside of the crucible with nylon brush. For stubborn stains, dip a small amount of detergent solution and scrub vigorously.<\/p>\n\n
Wipe the detailed parts:<\/strong>\u00a0With a rag or cotton swab dipped in detergent, carefully wipe the edge of the crucible, corners and other difficult parts to brush. To ensure that there is no stain residue.<\/p>\n\n
Rinse and dry<\/strong><\/p>\nClean water rinse:\u00a0<\/strong>Use water pipe or watering can, wash from the top to the top with large water flow. Check all parts to ensure that there is no cleaning residue, pay attention to the crevices.<\/p>\n\n
Wipe off surface moisture:<\/strong>\u00a0Gently dry most of the moisture with a clean towel to prevent impurities from scratching the crucible.<\/p>\n\n
Drying treatment:\u00a0<\/strong>Put the crucible into the oven and bake at 80-100 \u00b0C for 1-2 hours, and observe regularly during the time to ensure thorough drying. After drying, put it in a dry and clean place for use.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Cleaning points for different types of stains<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>Metal oxide stains<\/span><\/h3>\nChemical dissolution principle:\u00a0<\/strong>The use of acid and metal oxide reaction to produce soluble salt and water to remove pollution. For example, dilute hydrochloric acid reacts with iron oxide, Fe2<\/strong>O3<\/strong>\u00a0+ 6HCl = 2FeCl3<\/strong>+ 3H2<\/strong>O.<\/p>\n\n
Cleaning precautions:<\/strong>\u00a0Strictly control the concentration and soaking time of dilute hydrochloric acid and other acidic cleaners to prevent corrosion of graphite crucible. Be sure to rinse thoroughly after cleaning to avoid detergent residue affecting the subsequent use of the crucible.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Carbon stains<\/span><\/h3>\nMechanical and chemical combination:<\/strong>\u00a0First remove most of the carbon deposit through preliminary mechanical scrubbing. And then let the detergent penetrate into the carbon deposit interior for decomposition with the help of immersion. And thoroughly remove it with a nylon brush during deep cleaning.<\/p>\n\n
Use of special cleaning agents:<\/strong>\u00a0For stubborn carbon accumulation, special cleaning agents containing strong oxidizing components can be used to oxidize and decompose carbon accumulation. However, you should pay attention to controlling the detergent concentration and use time to prevent damage to the crucible.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Precautions<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>Avoid damaging the crucible<\/span><\/h3>\nControl brushing strength:<\/strong>\u00a0When using copper wire brush and nylon brush to clean, strictly control the strength. Preliminary cleaning with copper wire brush to remove stubborn stains, also can not be too hard. To prevent scratching the surface of the crucible, affecting the service life.<\/p>\n\n
Prevent collision:<\/strong>\u00a0Move and clean the graphite crucible carefully to avoid collision with hard objects. As in or out of the immersion container gently handle gently, otherwise the collision is easy to crack or damage the crucible.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Detergent selection<\/span><\/h3>\nEnsure compatibility:<\/strong>\u00a0Choose the cleaner suitable for the graphite crucible material. Different stains correspond to different types, such as acidic cleaners for metal oxides, special cleaners for carbon deposits. To prevent the reaction with graphite to damage the crucible.<\/p>\n\n
Pay attention to environmental protection and safety:\u00a0<\/strong>Give priority to environmental protection and low toxic cleaning agents to reduce environmental pollution and harm to human health. Read the instructions carefully before use to understand the ingredients, usage and precautions.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Drying temperature control<\/span><\/h3>\nControl temperature range:<\/strong>\u00a0The temperature of the dry graphite crucible should be 80-100\u00b0C. The temperature is too high, such as over 150\u00b0Cmay change its internal structure and reduce thermal stability.<\/p>\n\n
Prevent sudden temperature change:<\/strong>\u00a0Avoid sudden cooling of the crucible when drying, after high temperature drying can not be immediately put into the cold air. You should cool it in the oven to close to room temperature and then remove it. To prevent thermal expansion and contraction cracks.<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\nCorrect cleaning of graphite crucible is of great significance to ensure performance and prolong life. Do the preparatory work, follow the steps, choose the right method for different stains, pay attention to various precautions, you can effectively and safely clean.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
