Abstract
Fumed silica (SiO₂) was used as silica source to synthesize lithium aluminosilicate powders (LAS) in sol-gel process. The gel-powders obtained were calcined at 400 °e, 600°C, 800ºC and 1000 ºC. After calcination, the respective lithium aluminosilicate powder was subjected into Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis. Preparation of bi-component and tri-component was done to prepare lithium aluminosilicate powders. Based on FTIR studies, Si-O-Si bonds were appeared in the region of 1083.95 cm�¹ for sample calcined at 400 °C. For sample caloned at 600°C, 800 ºC and 1000 °C, the band shifted to the right which led to the formation of Si-Q-AI bonds. By observing the four IR spectra, β-eucryptite was appeared in the region around 1005 cm�¹, 750 cm�¹ and 670 cm�¹. Based on SEM studies, the samples became denser and packed together as temperature gets higher due to the removal of water.
