Abstract

The effect of magnesium salt on the morphological development of MgO powders synthesized by the evaporative decomposition of solutions (EDS) technique is presented. Thermal analysis at 10 and 100 °C min^-1 was used to determine the effect of increased heating rate on the decomposition temperatures of Mg(C₂H₃O₂)₂·4 H₂O, MgCl₂·6 H₂O, and Mg(NO₃₂·6 H₂O. Full decomposition to MgO powder was only achieved during EDS with magnesium acetate and magnesium nitrate. The decomposition of the chloride precursor during EDS was incomplete as a result of kinetic limitations imposed by the high heating rate (∼ 300 °C s^-1) associated with the EDS process. Generally, the particle morphology consists of large aggregates when produced from the chloride and nitrate salts. However, fine, dispersed, sub-micrometer particles are formed from magnesium acetate under oxidizing conditions. These differences are demonstrated to be a direct result of the decomposition path of the magnesium salt.
