摘要

This study explores the synthesis of boehmite (γ-AlOOH) from gibbsite under controlled hydrothermal conditions and its subsequent transformation into α-alumina. Commercial aluminum hydroxide was subjected to phase transformations at varying temperatures (180, 200, and 220 °C) and reaction durations (30, 60, and 180 min). The optimal synthesis parameters were identified as 200 °C for 60 min, yielding boehmite with high purity and crystallinity. The synthesized boehmite was then calcined at 1200 °C for 3 h to produce α-alumina, which was extensively characterized and compared to the industrial benchmark product, EtiAlü 301. Notably, the calcined boehmite exhibited superior chemical purity, characterized by significantly reduced sodium oxide (Na₂O) content (0.03%) and a finer particle size distribution (D50: 4.18 μm) compared to EtiAlü 301. These results underscore the efficacy of the boehmite synthesis approach in producing high-purity alumina, rendering it highly suitable for advanced industrial applications in fields such as ceramics, catalysts, and battery separators.
