Abstract

High pure and fine mullite powders were synthesized from Al-secbutoxide[Al(OC4H9)3] and TEOS[Si(OC2H5)4] (SiO2/Al2O3=2/3 mole). Sol-Gel process by partial hydrolysis technique, as it were, first, TEOS was partially hydrolysized and then mixed with Al-secbutoxide for complete hydrolysis was used. The mullite precursor was synthesized within 30 hrs, which was reduced about a half of synthetic time in comparison with the other's study. Al-Si spinel was formed at 980℃ and mullite crystal was formed at 1200℃. Mullite powders synthesized in this study was spherical type like those of the other studies and particle sizes were very fine. Also mullite powders calcined at 1,600℃ had a stoichiometric composition (3Al2O3·2SiO2) and lattice constants were coincided with known theoretical values.
