Low-Temperature Synthesis of α-Al2O3 Powder via Calcining Aluminum Ammonium Sulfate Double Salt Process: Effects of Glucose and Pre-pressing
-
摘要: 以NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O为原料,通过加入不同含量的葡萄糖来合成α-Al2O3,并研究了葡萄糖含量和预压处理对α-Al2O3粉体合成工艺和温度的影响。结果表明,葡萄糖的存在可以明显改变相变过程,降低合成温度。添加30%(质量分数,下同)葡萄糖时,可在950 ℃合成单相α-Al2O3粉体,比不添加葡萄糖时低200 ℃左右。添加75%葡萄糖后,α-Al2O3的合成温度可进一步降低至900 ℃。葡萄糖降低α-Al2O3合成温度的主要原因分为两个:一是葡萄糖氧化分解热加速NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O的热分解,二是使NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O分散均匀并无定形化。结果还表明,预压可使α-Al2O3的合成温度进一步降低25~50 ℃,这可能是由于团聚体的破坏和粉末分散体的进一步均质化所致。Abstract: The α-Al2O3 powder was synthesized by calcining NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O with different content glucose added. The effects of glucose content and sample pre-pressing on the synthesis process and temperature of α-Al2O3 powder were investigated. The results showed that the existing of glucose could change the phase transition process and decrease the synthesizing temperature obviously. With 30wt% glucose added, α-Al2O3 powder could be synthesized at 950 ℃, which was about 200 ℃ lower than that of no glucose added. With 75wt% glucose added, the synthesizing temperature of α-Al2O3 could be further decreased to 900 ℃. Two effects of glucose are believed to be the main reasons for the decrease of α-Al2O3 synthesizing temperature. One is accelerating the thermal decomposition of NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O, the other is to make NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O disperse evenly and amorphous. The results also showed that pre-pressing could further decrease the synthesizing temperature of α-Al2O3 by 25-50 ℃, which might cause by the destruction of agglomeration and the further homogenization of powder dispersion.
