Abstract:

It is of great significance to explore the particle size regulation of boehmite and the thermal decomposition mechanism of boehmite into alumina for the synthesis of fine alumina.Pseudo-boehmite was used as a seed to assist aluminum hydroxide hydrothermal to regulate the particle size of boehmite,and the universality of this method was explored.Through the kinetic analysis of the calcination experiment and the dehydration process of boehmite with different particle sizes,the influence mechanism of particle size on the transformation process of boehmite was explored.The results showed that the addition of different proportions of pseudo-boehmite seeds could prepare boehmite microcrystalline with average particle size D50 of 2.02,0.96 and 0.66 μm,respectively.The seeds produced by different processes had the same control effect.The dehydration process of boehmite with different particle sizes was controlled by different kinetic reaction mechanisms,and as the particle size decreased,the activation energy of the dehydration process was gradually decreased.This study provided a new effective way to adjust the particle size of boehmite,and provided a theoretical basis for the preparation of fine alumina from boehmite as a precursor.

Key words: boehmite, alumina, grain size, dynamics, activation energy, crystal seed
