The invention discloses a method for synthesizing superfine flaky alpha-Al2O3
powder at low temperature, which comprises the following steps: by taking a
metal aluminum simple substance as an aluminum source, an inorganic acid as a
solvent and
urea as a precipitator, adding no additive, template or
seed crystal, firstly adding the
metal aluminum simple substance into the inorganic acid, regulating the pH value to 7 by using
ammonia water, then adding
ammonium sulfate and
urea, fully mixing, and then adding a catalyst to prepare the superfine flaky alpha-Al2O3
powder. Adding
molten salt, and fully stirring to prepare a
mixed solution; filling the
mixed solution into a reaction kettle, and carrying out
hydrothermal reaction at a certain temperature to obtain a precipitate;
drying the precipitate to obtain an aluminum
oxide precursor; and calcining at the temperature of 560-800 DEG C, washing and
drying to obtain the high-purity flaky alpha-Al2O3
powder with the particle size of 100-500nm. The preparation method provided by the invention is low in synthesis temperature, simple in process, easily available in required materials, high in aluminum
oxide purity and wide in application prospect.
