Method for producing an alpha - alumina powder

摘要

A method for producing an alpha-alumina powder is provided. The method for producing an alpha-alumina powder comprises steps of (1) preparing a mixture of an aluminum hydrolysate, a seed crystal and water; (2) removing the water from the mixture; and (3) calcining the resultant, wherein the aluminum hydrolysate in the step (1) is produced by hydrolyzing an aqueous aluminum chloride solution under conditions of a pH of 5 or less and a temperature of 60° C. or less.
