Abstract
Powder characteristics and sinterability of reactive MgO prepared by calcination of alkoxy-derived Mg(OH) 2 have been studied. Specific surface areas of powders calcined at low temperatures are very high, and these do not drop below 20 m 2/g until the temperature is above 1000°C. Crystallite size, particle size, and particle morphology are dependent on calcining temperature. Optimum calcining temperature for preparing high sintered pellets is 800°C. The highest sintered densities (>99.5 %) are obtained by heating at 1350°C.
