(57) [summary] The (modified with) [challenge] internal pressure is more uniform and the lid is also opening and closing easier, the reactor and the aluminum nitride manufacturing apparatus using the reactor suitable for automated or continuous production provide. The present invention provides a reaction apparatus 11 for producing aluminum nitride by combustion synthesis method, a vertical standing water jacket 131 with a cylindrical body 12 having an opening at the lower end, the lifting means 4
By, from the lower side of the cylindrical body, to rise while equipped with a raw material 30 of aluminum nitride, together with the transfer of raw materials into a cylindrical body, a water jacket to seal the cylindrical body in intimate contact with the opening edge in the opening of the cylindrical body a movable lid reactor equipped with a lid 3 attached, the nitrogen gas supply means for supplying a nitrogen gas into the reactor, heating means for heating the raw material in the reactor 2
It includes a 7, and a control unit 2 for adjusting the temperature and pressure inside the reactor by controlling the water supply from the nitrogen gas supply means to the nitrogen gas amount and the heating means and the water jacket is supplied to the reactor.
