Chem. me tall., Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080, China) ABSTRACT A new combined process for production of fine alumina powders ofnanometer size is studied. The flow of the produced alumina was analyzed by neutro nactivation and plasma spectrometery, and the particle size of thealumina was characterized by TEM. KEY WORDS Fine powder, Alumina, Green production 1 Introduction Alumina is a widely used ceramic powder material, which not only plays an important role in structural ceramics, but also has been widely used in bioceramics and functional ceramics, especially in catalyst carriers, integrated circuit substrate materials and light transmission. Materials and other fields are popular [1]. Different applications require alumina of different purity. The purity of high-purity alumina is above 99.99%, and the single crystal can be applied in the fields of laser materials and window materials. It is used in the production of abrasives and engineering ceramics. With the development of high technology, the research on alumina has become more and more intensive, and its purity, particle size and particle shape have been put forward higher requirements. Research on ultra-fine alumina materials has caused more and more More attention. At present, most of the domestically produced alumina adopts ammonium sulfate ammonium pyrolysis method. This method controls the pH and recrystallization of the solution to separate the impurities, and the purity is further increased. When the thermal decomposition is heated to 900 ° C, Only 90% of sulfur trioxide [2] is removed, and complete desulfurization requires further heating or holding for several hours. Complete conversion to γ-Al2O3 requires higher temperature and high energy consumption. A new non-polluting process to achieve green production of alumina. The requirements for green production are: the production uses non-toxic raw materials; it is carried out under non-toxic reaction conditions; it has "atomic economy", ie The reaction has high selectivity, few by-products, and even “zero emissionsâ€; the product is environmentally friendly [3]. In the green production process of alumina, ammonium bicarbonate and aluminum salt are non-toxic and harmless common industrial raw materials. In the process of production and thermal decomposition, due to the absorption and utilization of ammonia and carbon dioxide, there is no discharge of three wastes. The produced alumina is harmless to the environment. This paper studies the new process of fine alumina production-aluminum carbonate method to produce alumina. Green new process. Because of the different production of alumina products in the same production process, it is also called joint production process. 2 Principles and processes The ammonium aluminum carbonate pyrolysis method [4] is to use ammonium hydrogencarbonate and aluminum salt to synthesize the precursor aluminum ammonium carbonate, and then thermally decompose it. The liquid phase production method to alumina includes synthesis and thermal decomposition. The advantage of this method is that the produced powder has high purity and particle size. Small. Its typical reaction can be expressed by the following formula (1) (2) (3) The principle production process of the new process is shown in Figure 1. During the production process, the purity of the product is affected by the purity of the aluminum salt and ammonium bicarbonate. After the aluminum salt is purified, it can be reacted with the high-purity ammonium hydrogencarbonate solution to obtain high-purity alumina. Precursor, in this process, the concentration of ammonium bicarbonate in the mother liquor drops due to the reaction, and is added to the required concentration of ammonium bicarbonate to re-enter the cycle to achieve the internal circulation of the reaction medium. The process is characterized by: accumulation of impurities in the solution Below the upper limit of the product requirements, the desired concentration of ammonium bicarbonate can still be added to the mother liquor to prepare alumina with a slightly lower purity. Similarly, when the purity of the product is not required, a lower grade alumina can be produced. After the remaining solution, redistribute and recover water, ammonia and carbon dioxide. The (NH4)2SO4 in the residual liquid can be evaporated and recovered. The water, carbon dioxide and ammonia generated by decomposition during thermal decomposition enter the absorption tower to recover pure carbonic acid. Ammonium hydrogen, re-enter the cycle. The new process can prepare alumina products of different purity without changing the reactor, so that the raw materials can be utilized to the maximum extent and the production cost can be reduced without Table 1 - Content of major impurities in alumina Table 1 ~ The main impurities in alumina (×10{-6) Note: 1) Sumitomo chemicalCO., LTD, Japan. Figure 1 Process flow chart of alumina green production 3 Results and discussion The purity of the precursors and products was determined by plasma mass spectrometry and neutron activation. The results are shown in Table 1. The alumina [5] was prepared by decomposing the precursor aluminum ammonium carbonate (), and the sample was subjected to differential heat and thermogravimetric analysis after drying at a lower temperature than the lower one. From the position of the difference heat peak in the figure, it can be seen that the sample begins to decompose at about time, and a significant endothermic peak appears at 224 ° C, indicating that the decomposition reaches a maximum at this time, and the decomposition basically ends at 280 ° C. After that, the sample weight loss becomes quite equivalent. Slowly, there is no obvious endothermic peak and exothermic peak on the DTA curve, which indicates that the decomposition reaction is basically finished after 280 ° C. It can be seen from Fig. 2 that the loss of the precursor is about 63%, which is lower. Thermal decomposition is completed at temperature.
