Abstract

The present paper shows that nanostructured anatase can be produced by sonochemical synthesis with an average size of 6.4nm and a surface area of 300m2g-1. The results of microstructure coarsening evolution and phase transformation of anatase to rutile subjected to different heat treatment conditions are presented. The rates of transformation from anatase to rutile, critical particle size of transformation anatase to rutile and coarsening are directly related to heat treatment temperature. This in rums allows developing a mathematical model to predict particle size evolution. The developed model can be used to precisely predict particle size for anatase and/or rutile using exponential like equations similar to those described in the LSW theory. The exponent of the LSW-like equations went from ∼1/7 to ∼1/4 as heat treatment time increase from 8 and 72 h. This research was supported by means of BET, XRD and TEM.
