Abstract
A fast method of microwave pyrolysis was provided to prepare α-Al2O3 powders. Aluminum hydroxide and Aluminum ammonium sulfate doclecahydrate were used as raw materials to obtain α-aluminum oxide powder by microwave pyrolysis, respectively. Thermo-Gravimetric/Differential Thermal Analyzer (TG/DTA) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis were employed to investigate pyrolysis process and the transformation of metastables Al2O3 in the process of heating different precursors. Meanwhile, Flied Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) was applied to observe microstructure and grain growth, and the phase composition was characterized by XRD. The results indicated that the high purity α-Al2O3 was obtained which met the demands of market, and the sample obtained from aluminum hydroxide performed high purity, small particle size and, while the sample from ammonium aluminum sulfate showed lower purity and larger grain size.
