Phase composition, thermal behavior, morphologyand microstructure of powder samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter,thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that formationof NiAl2O4 spinel compound from NiCO3 and Al powders took place in three steps: oxidation of Al to Al2O3, decomposition ofNiCO3 to NiO and CO2, and finally the solid state reaction between Al2O3 and NiO. It was also demonstrated that single phaseNiAl2O4 spinel compound can be produced by 5 h of mechanical milling with subsequent annealing of NiCO3/Al mixture at 900 Cfor 2 h, which is 冾 500 C lower than the temperatures used in the traditional solid state methods. The particle diameter of theproduced NiAl2O4 spinel compound was found to be less than 100 nm as measured by transmission electron microscopy.展开更多
