Phase evolution during low-temperature synthesis of MgAl2O4

Evolution of phase composition in the thermal decomposition of nanosized aluminum hydroxides

“…Alumina is a promising material for the first wall of a thermonuclear reactor [10]. It may be also used as one of the major components in the synthesis of magnesium-aluminum spinel [11,12], cordierite [13], mullite [14], garnets [15], aluminates [16], and other compounds. These compounds are most effectively synthesized from nanosized powders with high reactivity.…”

MgAl2O4‐Spinel Synthesized by High‐Energy Ball Milling and Reaction Sintering

“…In order to produce dense parts temperatures between 1400° and 1800°C are then needed. In addition to this classic solid state route several techniques like sol–gel, 6–8 coprecipitation, 9 molten salt synthesis, 10,11 flame spray pyrolysis, 12 , the application of mineralizers 13,14 and other methods were developed to produce spinel. Unfortunately most of these techniques are not suitable or less developed for mass production of ceramic bodies.…”
