The invention discloses a preparation method of a low-
sodium orthohexagonal flaky alpha-
alumina micropowder. The method which takes cheap industrial aluminum
hydroxide as a
raw material comprises thefollowing steps: mixing the industrial aluminum
hydroxide, a dispersant and deionized water to prepare a
slurry; carrying out
grinding,
sodium removal,
solid-liquid separation, primary
water washing,
solid-liquid separation,
drying, presintering and secondary
water washing to obtain a low-
sodium alumina precursor; and then adding a morphology
inducer, and performing stirring, mixing and calciningto obtain the low-sodium orthohexagonal flaky alpha-
alumina micropowder. The low-sodium regular orthohexagonal flaky alpha-alumina micropowder prepared by the method has a
sodium oxide content of below 0.05%, an alpha-Al2O3 content of above 98%, has an orthohexagonal particle morphology, has a side length of below 1.5 [mu]m and a thickness of below 0.5 [mu]m, and can be applied to the fields of
semiconductor materials, monocrystalline
sapphire, reinforcing agents, protective
layers and the like. The preparation method has the characteristics of wide sources of raw materials, simple device andproduction process, low production cost, realization of industrial production, environmental friendliness and the like.
