Globular Al 2O 3 powders with diameter ( d 50 ) of 5.82μm were prepared by spray-drying the solution of ammonium alum combined with pyrolysis process.SEM
XRD
DTA-TG
and Energy Spectrum were used to analyze the morphology and composition changes of powders obtained at different preparation stages.The results showed that the particles prepared by spray-drying were relatively coherent
then were dried
separated
dehydrated and shrunk after drying and pyrolysis processes.As a result
the diameter of powders decreased gradually
and the proportion of bigger particles significantly decreased.The sequence of the phase transition of ammonium alum was found to be NH 4Al(SO 4) 2·12H 2O→NH 4Al(SO 4) 2→Al 2(SO 4) 3→ θ -Al 2O 3→ α -Al 2O 3 according to DTA-TG and XRD results.Sintered at 1370℃ for 2h
