Co-precipitation processing was employed to achieve amorphous precursor from AI(NO3)3 solution dispersed by nanosized carbon particles, which was composed of AI(OH)3 and C particles homogeneously. The effects of the content of carbon black, pH value, and calcination temperature on formation of A1ON phase were investigated by means of XRD, SEM and TEM, respectively. It was found that single phase AION powder could be synthesized when the resultant precursors were calcined at 1750℃ for 2 hours under flowing N2. Un- der optimal additional content of C (5.6wt%), the resultant A1ON powders exhibited the primary particle size of about 1-3 μm with a specific surface area of 3.2 m2/g, which were superior to that of carbothermal reduction of immediate mixture of γ-A1203/C powders.展开更多
