This invention discloses a nanoscale α-
alumina and its preparation method.
Polyethylene glycol,
citric acid, and
ammonium aluminum
sulfate are sequentially added to a
urea solution and mixed to obtain a
mixed solution.
Ammonia water is then added dropwise to the
mixed solution, and the mixture is allowed to stand and age to obtain a precursor suspension. The precursor suspension is then separated into
solid and liquid phases, and the resulting
solid phase is the
alumina precursor. The
alumina precursor is then calcined to obtain α-alumina. The α-alumina provided by this invention is a pure phase, free of impurities such as γ-Al₂O₃, with a complete
crystal structure, a particle size ≤150 nm, a
particle size distribution CV value <15%, excellent dispersibility, no obvious hard agglomerates, and a higher specific surface area, making it suitable for applications in high-end
electronic ceramics, precision
polishing, and other fields.
