Mechanism and Research on Preparation of AlN Powder by Carbon Thermal Reduction Method

Abstract

Abstract The alumina and activated carbon used as raw materials were prepared by chemical precipitation method. The uniformed aluminum nitride precursor was synthesized by mechanical mixing process. The effects of nitride temperature and time on the diameter of the particle were studied in detail. Ultrafined aluminum nitride powder was prepared by carbon-thermal reduction method. The results show that the precursor has better activity and nitride reaction proceeds rapidly. The complete conversion can be got at 1600°C for 2h. After calcination, it can be seen from the XRD graph that the powder with uniform size distribution has high AlN content.
