| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for preparing a rare earth-activated barium fluorohalide based phosphor, in which atmospheric states during calcining and during cooling can be optimally adjusted and a cooling rate can be selected in a wide range. In the preparing apparatus of the present invention, a mixture 18 of phosphor materials is calcined by a calcining furnace 10 to form a calcined product, and thereafter, the calcined product is cooled to thereby prepare a rare earth-activated barium fluorohalide based phosphor. A calcining region 12 in which the mixture of phosphor materials can be calcined is provided in the calcining furnace 10, and a portion of the calcining region 12 is connected, via a partition door 30 capable of being opened and closed, to a cooling region 28 in which the calcined product can be cooled, at an outer side of the calcining furnace 10. Further, the method for preparing the rare earth activated barium fluorohalide based phosphor of the present invention is carried out by using the above-described preparing apparatus.
