Abstract

Aluminum nitride (AlN) was synthesized at 1000-1400°C from a mixture of alumina and carbon powders using 2.45 GHz microwaves in a N₂ atmosphere. High nitridation ratios (>0.90) were obtained in the temperature range 1200-1400°C. The apparent activation energy of the carbothermal reduction and nitridation (CRN) reaction using 2.45 GHz microwave irradiation was calculated from the nitridation ratio. The value obtained, 79.9 kJ/mol, is 11% of the energy reported for conventional synthesis using α-Al₂O₃ as the raw material. This result indicates that 2.45 GHz microwave irradiation could promote the kinetics of the CRN reaction, and AlN could be effectively synthesized at low temperature.
