Abstract

A comparative study was carried out on the possibility of controlling the average sizes of nano-sized powders of silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide obtained by electron beam evaporation, pyrogenic, liquid chemical and plasma chemical methods, by keeping them in the temperature range of 800 – 1300 ?C in an air atmosphere. The average size of the resulting particles was estimated from specific surface area measurements using the Brunauer–Emmett–Taylor (BET) adsorption method at liquid nitrogen temperature. Crystallographic parameters in the treated powders were assessed using X-ray diffraction analysis. It has been shown that by appropriate choice of temperatures and initial powder, it is possible to achieve an average particle size in the resulting powder close to a given one and a phase composition.
