TG DTA, XRD, TEM and BET were employed to study the process of AACH thermal decomposition and to characterize the products obtained. The results show that high purity (99.97%) and nanosized spherical α Al2O3 powders with the diameter of 40～50nm and BET surface area 32.5m2·g-1 can be obtained by calcining AACH at 1150℃for 1.5h, the sequence of phase transformation during calcination was AACH →amorphous Al2O3 →γ Al2O3 →α Al2O3, and the activation energy of AACH decomposition is (115±5)kJ·mol-1.展开更多
