L. Znaidi et al., BATCH AND SEMICONTINUOUS SYNTHESIS OF MAGNESIUM-OXIDE POWDERS FROM HYDROLYSIS AND SUPERCRITICAL TREATMENT OF MG(OCH3)(2), Materials research bulletin, 31(12), 1996, pp. 1527-1535
A new process for submicronic MgO powder synthesis starting with Mg(OC
H3)(2) is studied. The influence of various experimental parameters (w
ater to alkoxide ratio, temperature, reaction time) is investigated. A
erogels and crystallized MgO powders with surface area up to 280 and 2
10 m(2) . g(-1) have been obtained in batch and semi-continuous reacto
rs, respectively.
