Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing aluminate crystals of at least one metal and / or one metalloid and / or one lanthanide.
- the present invention relates to a process for manufacturing crystals of these various aluminates, in particular implementing a micromilling step in a three-dimensional microbead mill in a liquid medium (generally water) produced in a very short time and without heating.
- This micromilling step also makes it possible to facilitate a possible calcination step that can be performed later.
- the crystals obtained by the abovementioned process can be used to manufacture: luminescent materials in the ultraviolet range, catalysts, in particular for the synthesis of biofuels, photocatalytic materials, photoluminescent materials, dielectric ceramics, or even materials. transparent resistant.
- the preparation of aluminate crystals by chemical means consists first of all in preparing the starting reagents, in mixing them as homogeneously as possible and in calcining the mixture thus obtained so as to carry out the combination reaction.
- the mixture of the raw materials can be carried out dry.
- the imperfect homogeneity of the mixture is compensated by long-term calcination, of the order of several hours and at high temperature (often exceeding 1200 ° C.) in order to give the time necessary to carry out the reaction by solid diffusion.
- the end product is usually not completely transformed. It is then necessary to carry out one or more additional calcination cycles before arriving at a sufficiently pure final product.
- the mixture of the raw materials can also be carried out in liquid medium (aqueous solution), in order to give, after drying, a more homogeneous powder which will then be heated several times at high temperature, and for very long periods of time (sometimes requiring three stages of heating, for a total heating time of more than 200 ° C up to 13h).
- liquid medium aqueous solution
- Sol-Gel In order to further improve the homogeneity of the mixture comprising the starting reagents, many authors use the "Sol-Gel” method.

- the agitator further comprises two polyurethane mixing discs of 64mm diameter.
- o gibbsite AI (OH) 3 produced on an industrial scale, purity> 99.7%, marketed under the reference SH300 by Alteo;
- the mineral source of the metallic element may be:
- a starting suspension is prepared in a beaker from the source of the aluminum element and the source of the element A, in stoichiometric proportion, in a liquid phase (water), and then the starting suspension is put under stirring with a magnetic stirrer;
- the throughput rate in the mill can reach 60 l / h;
- the starting suspension is then milled (2) in the three-dimensional mill comprising microbeads of 0.5 mm in diameter for a certain time (which depends on the flow rate of the starting suspension) at room temperature (20-25 °). C), thus making it possible, at the outlet of the mill, to obtain an intimate and homogeneous mixture of the initial reactants (namely the aluminum source and the source of the element A);
- the final suspension comprising either the starting reagents in activated form, or aluminate crystals of the element A or elements (generally in hydrated form) is recovered (3);
- this final suspension is dried (4) in an oven at 80 ° C for 1 hour;
- the final dried suspension thus obtained is calcined (5) at a temperature between 400 ° C and 1500 ° C, preferably 700 ° to 1200 ° C, in a stationary oven.
- the duration of the calcination is between 30 minutes and 4 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
- the zinc aluminate crystals ZnAl 2 O 4 were synthesized according to the general procedure mentioned above, with an initial suspension containing 150 g of reagents (ZnO + Al (OH) 3 Sigma Aldrich) per liter of solvent (water). , with a single passage in the mill at a rate of 30L / h. The calcination was carried out at 650 ° C for 1 h.
- the XRD spectrum also shows that the sample analyzed has excellent purity. Indeed, no contamination is listed:
- the process of the invention makes it possible to easily obtain pure zinc aluminate ZnAl 2 0 4 crystals, in particular from gibbsite Al (OH) 3 and ZnO.

- the initial suspension contains 150 g of reagents (MgO + Al 2 O 3 ) per liter of solvent (water).
- a single passage in the mill at a rate of 30L / ha was performed.
- the calcination was carried out at 1200 ° C for 1 h.
- the XRD spectrum also shows that the sample analyzed has excellent purity. Indeed, no contamination is listed:
- the process of the invention makes it possible to easily obtain magnesium aluminate crystals of very good purity, in particular from alpha alumina and MgO.
- the Applicant has also carried out this test with a temperature of lower calcination (of the order of 1050 ° C) which led to the obtaining of magnesium aluminate of a slightly lower purity for the same calcination time.
- Calcium aluminate crystals were synthesized according to the general procedure mentioned above, with initial suspensions containing 150 g reagents (CaCO 3 + Al (OH) 3 Sigma Aldrich) per liter of solvent (water).
- the molar ratio (Al): (Ca) was set at 4.
- a single passage in the mill at a rate of 30 L / ha was made.
- the calcination was carried out at 1050 ° C for 1 hour.
- the XRD spectrum also shows that the sample analyzed has excellent purity. Indeed :
- the process of the invention makes it possible easily to obtain pure calcium aluminate CaAl 4 0 7 crystals, in particular from a carbonate as a source of the calcium element.
- the barium aluminate crystals BaAl 2 O 4 were synthesized according to the general procedure mentioned above, with an initial suspension containing 300 g of reagents (BaO 2 + Al (OH) 3 SH300) per liter of solvent (water). . Two passages in the mill, at a rate of 30L / h, were carried out. The calcination was carried out at 1050 ° C for 1 hour. Referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that the lines of the DRX spectrum obtained for the barium aluminate are in accordance with those of the BaAI 2 0 4 reference spectrum, known to those skilled in the art (according to JCPDS 04 -010-3758), both for their angular positions and for their relative intensities.
- the XRD spectrum also shows that the sample analyzed has excellent purity. Indeed, no contamination is listed:
- the process of the invention makes it possible to easily obtain pure barium aluminate BaAl 2 0 4 crystals, by using gibbsite AI (OH) 3 SH 300, produced on an industrial scale, as well as peroxide as the source of the barium element.
- the XRD spectrum also shows that the sample analyzed has good purity. Indeed :
- the XRD spectrum also shows that the sample analyzed has good purity. Indeed :
- the laboratory mill makes it possible, for example, to produce 54 kg / h of crystals of the various aluminates. This figure could be multiplied by 10 with the addition of an accelerator accessory. Also, there are industrial versions of the mill using for example up to 100 kg of beads. With this type of mill, it would therefore be possible to manufacture several tons per hour of different aluminates.
