摘要

In this work, a synthesis route of (Na,K)Mg/Al spinel-type compounds, which combines hydrothermal synthesis at low temperatures (< 200 A degrees C) and solid-state sintering (> 800 A degrees C) methods, is presented. It was examined that NaOH and KOH additives induce the reaction between initial Mg and Al components and the formation of hydrotalcite during hydrothermal treatment. It should be noted that after 1 h of calcination of synthetic precursors at 850 A degrees C spinel-type compounds are formed only in the samples with alkali addition. Meanwhile in the pure system only traces of the mentioned compounds are observed at 900 A degrees C. Moreover, the increase in solid-state sintering temperature and duration lead to the higher-crystallinity (Na,K)MgAl2O4 spinel-type compounds. It should be noted that textural properties of formed (Na,K)Mg/Al spinel-type compounds depend on the chemical composition of precursors. The synthetic and calcined products are characterised by XRD, STA, FT-IR analyses and BET method.
