Preparation of Multicomponent Ceramic Powders by Sol-Gel Processing

Abstract

Sol-gel methods have been applied to the production of the multicomponent ceramic, Synroc B. These techniques involved the hydrolysis of a mixture of Ti and Zr, alkoxides peptising to form a sol and subsequent sorption of Al3+, Ba2+ and Ca2+ cations under acidic conditions. Powder properties were examined by a variety of techniques, including electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, N2 sorption, and differential thermal analysis. The effects of processing conditions on the physical properties of the powders are discussed.
