Abstract: The phase composition and properties of microemulsion system of water, Triton X-100,n-hexanol and cyclohexane, were studied.It shows that when n-hexanol and Triton X-100 is in the weight ratio of 2:3, this microemulsion system has extensive and stable microemulsion phase regions, and therefore is an ideal reaction system for the preparation of ultrafine particles. In the water-in-oil microemulsion system of Triton X-100,n-hexanol, cyclohexane and aluminium hydroxide sol, aluminum hydrous oxide(α-AlOOH) ultrafine particles were prepared by the method of precipitation with NH3 being used. According to transmission electron micrographs the mean diameter of particles is about 6 nm. The uniformity of particles is better. The particles size did not change when α-AlOOHultrafine particles were converted to γ-Al2O3 by heating. The special surface area of the ultrafine γ-Al2O3 powder sample is 159.2 m2·g-1.
