The powder characterization and sintering behavior of alkoxide-derived alumina powders prepared by esterification were investigated. The dried powders were calcined at 700$^{\circ}C$, 900$^{\circ}C$, 1080$^{\circ}C$, 1170$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. and the resulting crystalline forms were amorphous, {{{{ gamma }} phase, {{{{ theta }}+{{{{ alpha }} phase, and {{{{ alpha }} phase, respectively. The sinterability was best in the case of being calcined at 1170$^{\circ}C$. It was most effective to disperse sintering additive in the initial stage from which acetate was formed. At 1600$^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, 98.5% of relative density was obtained when MgO and Fe2O3 were simultaneously doped, and dense sintered body whose density was near theoretical value was obtained when heating schedule was controlled.

Spherical alumina powders were prepared by the controlled hydrolysis of aluminum iso-propoxide in a solution consisting of n-octyl alcohol and acetonitrile. As aluminum alkoxide's concentration increased, the particle size was increased and size distribution was more broad. As-prepared particle morphology was not spherical when acetonitrile volume fraction was increased over than 60%. As-prepared amorphous powders crystallized to ${\gamma}$-alumina at $1000^{\circ}C$ and converted to ${\alpha}$-alumina at $1150^{\circ}C$. The particle morphology was retain after crystallization ${\alpha}$-alumina. When aluminum iso-propoxide was used as aluminum source, the optimum preparation condition of spherical alumina was 0.1M AIP, 0.2M H2O, $0.1g/{\ell}$ HPC with a volume fraction (1/1) of the n-octyl alcohol/acetonitrile, 10min of reaction time and 30min of aging time.

Hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide with excess water in the presence of excess isopropyl alcohol resulted in the formation of boehmite in independence of temperature of hydrolysis and aging. Stoichiometric and substoichiometric amount of water hydrolyzed aluminum isopropoxide to pseudo-boehmite and amorphous one, respectively. $\alpha$-Al2O3 with 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in median size was produced by calcination of boehmite, bseudo-boehmite and amorphous boehmite at 125$0^{\circ}C$, 120$0^{\circ}C$, and 115$0^{\circ}C$ for one hour, respectively. Singnificant reduction in particle size was found during transition from $\theta$-Al2O3 to $\alpha$-Al2O3. $\alpha$-Al2O3 produced in this study was relatively uniform spherical and its purity was found to be over 99.9%.

Polymeric alumina sol and polymeric silica sol were synthesized from aluminum sec-butoxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate, respectively as starting materials. A clear mullite sol was obtained by mixing these sols. When the mullite sol had a proper viscosity which was dependent on drying time, the fibers were fabricated by spinning. The optimum viscosity for fabrication of mullite fibers was 103-104 cps, and the fibers with various sizeswere made using the sols. The mullite was a major phase of the calcined fibers and the diameters of the fibers were about 50$\mu\textrm{m}$.

There are three hydrometallurgical methods by which pure alumina can be prepared, such as hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxides, thermal decomposition of ammonium alum and thermal cracking of ammonium aluminum carbonate (AACH). The effect of solution pH and temperature and the nature of the impurities on the phase transition and the purity of the alumina thus produced was investigated. Hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxides and thermal decomposition of ammonium alum produce ${\alpha}$ and ${\gamma}$ alumina, while only ${\alpha}$ alumina can be produced by thermal cracking of AACH.

The polymeric alumina sol was prepared by partial hydrolysis of aluminum sec-butoxide reacted with acetylacetone and its characteristics was investigated. The effects of alcohol solvent, acetylacetone, and acid concentration to the sol were investigated. FT-IR and Al27-MASNMR were used to study hydrolysis and polymerization reaction of aluminum complex. Synthesized sol showed the characteristics of polymeric alumina sol. To make a clear polymeric alumina sol, the optimum contents of acetylacetone, H2O and alcohol solvent were 0.4-0.6 mole, 0.25-1.25 mole, 3-5 mole per one mole alkoxide respectively. As a result of the Al27-MASNMR analysis, it was noted that hexa-penta-coordinated Al were main structure.

We demonstrated the synthesis of organic carbonates using alkyl/aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazine-1(6H)-carboxylates and alcohol in the presence of aluminum chloride. Alkyl/aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazine-1(6H)-carboxylates were reacted with alcohol in the presence of $AlCl_3$ in toluene at room temperature to afford the corresponding unsymmetric and symmetric organic carbonates in good to excellent yields. These are efficient and convenient processes. Alkyl/aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazine-1(6H)-carboxylates are solid, stable and non-toxic $CO_2/CO_2R$(Ar) source. It is noteworthy that the reaction is carry out under an ambient and acidic conditions, the easy-to prepare and readily available starting materials and the quantitative isolation of reusable 4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one.

In this study, AlN powder of fine particle size and of high purity was synthesized by the carbothermal reduction-nitridation of monodisperse, spherical Al(OH)3 which had been prepared by sol-gel method using Al(O-sec-C4H9)3 as the starting material. Depending on the mixing order and kinds of reducing agents, the optimum condition for the preparation of AlN was determined as follows. AlN single-phase was produced by the carbothermal reduction-nitridation of (1) Benzene-washed Al(OH)3 and the reducing agent, carbon, which was mixed in a ball mill: for 5 hours at 140$0^{\circ}C$ under NH3 atmosphere; (2) The mixture prepared by hydrolysis of alkoxide solution into which carbon had been dispersed beforehand: for 5 hours at 135$0^{\circ}C$ ; (3) Al(OH)3 Poly(furfuryl alcohol) composite powder: for 2.5 hours at 135$0^{\circ}C$; (4) The mixture of Al(OH)3 and polyacrylonitrile: for 5 hours at 140$0^{\circ}C$. Addition of CaF2 increased the nitridation rate when carbon or polyacrylonitrile was used as the reducing agent; but it had no effect on the nitridation rate when furfuryl alcohol was used as the reducing agent.

Al2TiO5 powder was prepared by the sol-gel processing from th metal alkoxides ; aluminium sec-butoxide (Al(OC4H9)3 and tetraethyl orthotitanate (Ti(OC2H5)4) The particles of Al2TiO5 produced from alkoxides were measured to be below $1.5mutextrm{m}$ and mre than 90% weere below 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ however those from commercial alumina and titania were over 0.5-7${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and only 60% were below 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 90% were below 2.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ Therefore Al2TiO5 powder produced from alkoxides had the narrower distributionin size than that produced from the commercial alumina and titania powders. The addition of mullite or Al2O3 powder to the prepared aluminum titanate inhibited the grain growth and this resulted in decreased and increase in density.
