My. Tian et al., SOLVOTHERMAL PREPARATIONS OF ALPHA-ALUMINA AND BOEHMITE CRYSTALLITES AND INVESTIGATIONS ON THE FORMATION OF THEIR MORPHOLOGIES, SCI CHINA E, 41(3), 1998, pp. 288-294
The solvothermal preparations of alpha-alumina and boehmite crystallit
es have been investigated, and the effects of solvothermal conditions
such as reactive medium and temperature on the phase, crystallization
morphology and size of the crystallites have been discussed. The calcu
lation of the stability energies of the growth units of the crystallit
es has been performed based on the model of anion coordinate polyhedro
n's growth unit. The results could explain the formation mechanisms of
the crystallites.
