Abstract
The morphologies of Al(OH)3 crystals prepared via the Al–H2O reactions with various catalysts and the growth mechanisms of these crystals were investigated. The reaction was carried out with NaOH, KOH, tetramethylguanidine (TMG), and tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) as catalysts. The evolution of the obtained product was observed in situ, and the products obtained after 120 min of reaction have the shapes of the hexagonal prism, long-hexagonal prism, long rod, and irregular rod, respectively. In the NaOH and KOH systems, the products are gibbsite, and the gibbsite crystals grow along the (110), (001), and (100) faces in the NaOH system, and the (100), (102), and (110) faces in the KOH system. However, in the TMG and TMAH systems, the products are bayerite, and the bayerite crystals grow along the (110), (111), and (001) faces. It is worth mentioning that gibbsite has more Al—O bonds than bayerite, giving rise to the formation of columnar crystals.
期刊介绍:
The Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (Trans. Nonferrous Met. Soc. China), founded in 1991 and sponsored by The Nonferrous Metals Society of China, is published monthly now and mainly contains reports of original research which reflect the new progresses in the field of nonferrous metals science and technology, including mineral processing, extraction metallurgy, metallic materials and heat treatments, metal working, physical metallurgy, powder metallurgy, with the emphasis on fundamental science. It is the unique preeminent publication in English for scientists, engineers, under/post-graduates on the field of nonferrous metals industry. This journal is covered by many famous abstract/index systems and databases such as SCI Expanded, Ei Compendex Plus, INSPEC, CA, METADEX, AJ and JICST.
