A process is disclosed for manufacturing aluminium nitride in which a substantially homogeneous mixture of carbon and aluminium trihydroxide (Al(OH))3) or its dehydration product, gamma aluminium oxide is reacted with nitrogen by heating to a temperature of not less than 1200 DEG C and preferably not more than 1600 DEG C. The mixture is heated rapidly from ambient temperature to the reaction temperature in the presence of nitrogen in not more than five minutes. The mixture could be a bed fluidised by the nitrogen flow in a continuous production process. |
