1. Gas phase method is a method of preparing alumina powder through gas-phase synthesis technology. This method mainly includes chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and plasma molten salt method. Among them, chemical vapor deposition technology synthesizes aluminum containing compounds in the gas phase, and then forms aluminum oxide powder through crystallization under appropriate temperature and atmosphere conditions. This method has the advantages of high production efficiency and high product purity, but the production cost is high and the equipment investment is large.
2. Liquid phase method is a commonly used method for preparing alumina powder. Mainly including hydrothermal method, solvothermal method, precipitation method, etc. The hydrothermal method involves reacting powdered raw materials in water under high temperature and pressure conditions to form alumina powder. This method has the advantages of mild conditions, simple equipment, and low production costs, but impurities are easily generated during the reaction process, which affects the purity of the product. The solvothermal method involves the formation of alumina powder through a reaction in a solvent. This method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high product purity, and high production efficiency, but it requires significant equipment investment and is difficult to operate. The precipitation method is to generate aluminum hydroxide precipitate through chemical reaction in solution, and then form aluminum oxide powder through washing, drying, calcination and other steps. This method has the advantages of simple process and low cost, but the product particle size is difficult to control.
3. Solid phase method is a traditional method for preparing alumina powder. Mainly including pyrolysis method, ball milling method, etc. Thermal decomposition method is to obtain alumina powder by heating organic matter or metallic aluminum at high temperature. This method has the advantages of simple process and low cost, but the product purity is low and the particle size is large. The ball milling method involves grinding raw materials into powder using a ball mill, and then sintering them at high temperatures to form alumina powder. This method has the advantages of controllable particle size and high product purity, but the production efficiency is low and the equipment investment is large.
Development Trends
1. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, the preparation technology of alumina powder also needs to develop towards green environmental protection. In the future, there will be more environmentally friendly synthesis technologies emerging, such as microwave synthesis technology, ultrasonic synthesis technology, etc. These technologies can reduce environmental pollution during the synthesis process and lower production costs.
2. With the continuous improvement of performance requirements for alumina powder, the future research focus will be on how to prepare alumina powder with higher performance. For example, the physical and chemical properties of alumina powder, such as particle size, morphology, and specific surface area, can be controlled by adjusting the synthesis conditions to meet the needs of different fields. In addition, aluminum oxide powders with special properties, such as nano composite aluminum oxide pigments, can be prepared by doping, composite and other methods.
3. With the continuous expansion of the application field of alumina powder, large-scale production will become the trend of future development. In the future, more enterprises will enter the production field of alumina powder, improve production efficiency and product quality by introducing advanced production equipment and technology, reduce production costs, and meet market demand.
