SAL15M, as a specific calcined alumina micro powder, occupies an important position in industrial production due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the preparation process, performance characteristics, and applications of SAL15M in different fields.
2. Preparation process of SAL15M
The preparation process of calcined alumina micro powder SAL15M mainly includes steps such as raw material selection, calcination treatment, crushing and grading.
2.1 Raw material selection
The main raw materials for preparing SAL15M are aluminum hydroxide (Al (OH) ∝) or bauxite. These raw materials are pre treated, such as washing, drying, etc., to remove impurities and ensure the purity of the raw materials.
2.2 Calcination treatment
Calcination is a crucial step in the preparation of SAL15M. The pre treated raw materials are calcined at high temperatures, typically ranging from 1200 ° C to 1500 ° C. During the calcination process, aluminum hydroxide decomposes into aluminum oxide (Al ₂ O3) and undergoes a crystal transformation, forming α - Al ₂ O3. The calcination temperature and time have a significant impact on the crystal structure, particle size, and specific surface area of the final product.
2.3 Crushing and Grading
After calcination, the alumina block is crushed and classified to obtain micro powder. The crushing methods include ball milling, air flow crushing, etc., while classification is achieved through screening or air flow classification to obtain the desired particle size distribution. The typical particle size range of SAL15M is 1-15 microns.
3. Performance characteristics of SAL15M
SAL15M has the following excellent physical and chemical properties:
