Synthesis of Alpha Alumina Using Microwave Energy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work investigated the synthesis of α-alumina using dissolution and re-precipitation of aluminum nitrate and microwave heating. The synthesized powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (TGA and DTA) and surface are by BET. The dissolution process was carried out using acid solution and heat treatment. Results depicted the efficiency of the process to accelerating the synthesis of alpha alumina. The results showed that the powders have the microwave structure of α-alumina with specific areas ranging between 3 and 15m2/g and pore diameters between 190 to 485nm.
