Notes:
Synthesis of non-oxide materials includes solid-phase grinding, liquid building-up, plasma, and CVD. The raw powder of the sintered body is commercialized by solid-state synthesis; however, it is non-spherical in shape and its size is below the submicron range. We considered the changes in free energy of Al, O2, N2, NH3, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and focused on the reaction accelerator effect of LPG for Al nitridation or Al2O3 reduction. As a result, we found that, conceptually, some Al nitridation syntheses via LPG firing could occur. The LPG firing method can provide a gas diffusion nitridation mechanism, and can therefore produce Al-oxynitride (AlON) directly (Al powder did not convert to AlON completely), and AlN spherical powders with diameters above the submicron range.
