摘要
Magnesium aluminate, MgAl2O4 (MA), microplatelets were synthesized using a molten salt technique. alpha-Alumina platelets partially decomposed from aluminium sulphate were reacted with either commercial magnesium oxide or magnesium nitrate in the molar ratio 1:1 to synthesize spinet platelets. Molten salts Such as chloride, MCI (M = Li, Na, and K) and potassium sulphate were used for MA synthesis and the salt to oxide ratio was kept at 3:1 for all compositions. Reactants and molten salt mixes were fired in an alumina crucible for 3 h at from 800 to 1150 degrees C. XRD revealed complete MA without formation of any secondary phase for powders fired for 3 h at 1100 degrees C. Electron microscopy revealed the MA platelet morphology and size was the same as the alpha-alumina platelets indicating a 'template process' during molten salt synthesis. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
