Influence of Calcining Temperature on the Microstructure of LaPO4 Powders

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanometer LaPO4 powders were synthesized by liquid-liquid direct precipitation method. La(NO3)3•6H2O and (NH4)3PO4•3H2O were used as raw materials. The calcining temperature was 900°C, 1000°C, 1100°C, respectively. DTA result shows that the LaPO4 precursor is LaPO4•4H2O. The calicined powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and exhibited a pure LaPO4 phase with a monazite structure about 50-100 nm in diameter size. With the calcining temperature increasing, the crystallization of the LaPO4 became better and the grain shape changed from elongated grain shape to spherical grain shape.
