| Abstract: | A novel and cost-effective sol-gel process for preparation of MgAl2O4 spinel nanometer powders has been developed in this study. A solution of magnesium and aluminum nitrates in stoichiometric proportion was successfully embraced in the biology polysaccharide gel network, formed by the synergistic interaction between xanthan gum (XG) and locust bean gum (LBG) utilizing their broad-spectrum stability of salt tolerance and character of transformation from sol to gel on the condition of proper temperature and relative proportion of polymeric components. Dry gel could be obtained by vacuum dehydration of aqueous gel at low temperatures. Monolithic MgAl2O4 spinel nanometer powders were produced by calcining the dry gel above 800°C, with average crystallite size of 20 nanometers. |
