Popis: | Pure spodumene and spodumene-zirconia (5, 10, 15 mol%) composite powders were prepared using aqueous sol-gel method employing lithium formate, aluminium formate, zirconium formate and tetraethoxy silane (TEOS) as starting materials in aqueous medium. The gels prepared by this method were dried at 100°C for 24h and then calcined for 2h at different temperatures ranging from 500°C to 800°C. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and infra-red spectroscopy analysis (IR) were utilized to characterize the gel powders and calcined powders. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to measure the average particle size of the calcined powders. |
