Abstract

Alumina powder have been expanded its application in industry and required to control its morphology such as powder size and aspect ratio of single particle. It can be synthesized by molten - salt method which is possible to obtain various shapes of ceramic particles by controlling the growth direction because each crystal face has different growth rate. In this study, various combinations of salts such as NaCl, $Na_2SO_4$, $Na_3PO_4$ and their mixture were used for control the growth of plate like alumina particle from the initial stage of synthesis because salt having different ionic strength can control the growth direction of ceramic particle under its melting condition around $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, and growth behavior of plate-like alumina particle with different reaction conditions such as temperature and concentration on the crystal size and shape was studied.

일반적으로 결정은 계면에 따라 그 성장속도가 다르기 때문에 계면의 성장을 제어함으로써 다양한 형태의 결정입자를 얻는 것이 가능하다. 알루미나의 경우 산업적 이용범위가 다양해지고 있어, 다양한 크기 또는 종횡비가 다른 다양한 형상의 분말이 요구되기도 한다. 용융염(molten-salt)을 이용하여 세라믹 입자를 성장시킬 경우, $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 용융되는 salt의 조건을 변화함으로써 세라믹 입자의 결정 성장 방향을 제어할 수 있는데, 알루미나의 경우 주로 판상형으로 입자가 성장하게 되며, 이때 salt의 ionic strength에 따라 판상형으로 성장하는 결정의 성장 속도를 제어하는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 NaCl, $Na_2SO_4$, $Na_3PO_4$를 이용하여 ionic strength가 다른 다양한 salt 조건에서 알루미나 입자를 성장시켰으며, 이들이 알루미나 결정 성장에 미치는 영향과 온도, 농도 변화에 따라 형성되는 알루미나의 크기 및 형상의 변화에 관하여 연구하였다.
