Synthesis of Boehmite by Hydrothermal Homogeneous Precipitation Reaction

수열균일 침전반응에 의한 Boehmite 합성

This investigation was undertaken to study the synthesis of Boehmite by the hydrothermal homogeneous precipitation reaction of alum with urea. The reactions were carried out at a temperature of 100 to $250^{\circ}C$, 1 : 2 to 1 : 5 in a mole ratio of alum to urea and a reaction time of 0.5 to 20 hrs. The reaction precipitates were examined by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscope, and chemical analysis. Under the condition of mole ratio 1 : 4 of alum to urea, the spherical and monodispersed amorphous aluminum sulfate hydrate was formed at $100^{\circ}C$, the mixture of spherical amorphous aluminum sulfate hydrate and Boehmite was formed at $150^{\circ}C$, Boehmite was formed at above $200^{\circ}C$, respectively. The reaction precipitates were dense, superior precipitable and filterable particle of average $2-4{\mu}m$.

암모늄명반과 요소를 수열균일 침전법으로 반응시켜 베마이트의 합성을 연구한 것으로, 암모늄명반과 요소와의 몰비를 1 : 2-1 : 5, 반응온도를 $100-250^{\circ}C$, 반응시간을 30분-20시간으로 변경시키면서 반응시켰다. 반응생성 침전물은 X-선 회절분석, 주사형현미경관찰, 화학분석 등의 방법으로 검토하였다. 암모늄명반과 요소와의 몰비가 1 : 4에서 구상의 단분산 무정형 수화황산알루미늄이 $100^{\circ}C$에서 생성되었고, $150^{\circ}C$에서 구상의 단분산 무정형 수화황상알루미늄과 베마이트가 생성되였고, $200^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 베마이트만이 생성되었다. 반응생성 침전물들은 치밀하고 침강성과 여과성이 좋았고 침전물의 입자는 평균 $2-4{\mu}m$ 크기였다.
