Abstract
The formation of magnesium and titanium hydroxides (differing in the rate of primary particle formation) and conversion of the hydroxides to ultrafine oxide powders of controlled size have been studied using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and analysis of the particle size distributions of solid materials from scattered laser light intensity. The particle size of the synthesis products has been shown to be influenced by the initial concentration and nature of precursors and precipitants, ultrasonic processing, additions of low-molecular-weight organic compounds, and dehydration temperature and time.
