Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 化學工程學系 === 86 === In this study , fine particles of Al2O3 were produced by using the microemulsion method under atmospheric pressure and supercritical carbon dioxide environment . The stable water-in-oil emulsion were prepared and mixed with the precipitating agent to form precursors , using normal heptane as the oil phase under atmospheric pressure and carbon dioxide as the oil phase under supercritical carbon dioxide , aluminum nitrate aqueous solution as the water phase , and aqueous amonia as the precipitating agent . After a series of operations , including distillation , washing , and filtration , the dried precipitates were obtained and calcined at 1100℃ to form corndum crystal of Al2O3 . Factors that influence the morphology and size of particles were investigated , including the volume ratio of water-in-oil , the amount of surfactant , and the concentration of aluminum nitrate . The properties of produced alumina powders were analyzed by the electron microscope , BET surface area analyzer , and X-ray diffraction spectrometer .The result shows that alumina powder has mean particle size 1∼6μm , specific surface area 14∼ 93m2/g and corundum crystal under atmospheric pressure ; and has mean particle size smaller then 1μm , specific surface area 43∼125m2/g and corundum crystal under supercritical carbon dioxide .
