Abstract

The changes caused by heat treatment of gibbsite powder at 300-1473 K were studied using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoemission (XPS) spectra and ²⁷Al magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (²⁷Al MAS NMR). XRD analysis indicates that the transformation sequence involves the formation of κ-Al₂O₃ as an intermediate phase between χ- and α-Al₂O₃. The crystallite size of χ-Al₂O₃ is as small as 10 nm. XPS analysis indicates that the ratio of aluminium atoms to oxygen atoms in χ-Al₂O₃ and κ-Al₂O₃ increases, whereas the expected ratio is observed in α-Al ₂O₃. The percentage of AlO₄ units in the transition aluminas follows the same behaviour as the ratio of Al/O.
