Abstract: Zinc aluminates (ZnAl2O4) being of spinal shape has drawn considerable attention as a catalytic material in making ceramics. It can improve the properties of the host like high thermal stability, high mechanical resistance, and simpler crystal structure and affects the optical spectra [1-4]. Moreover zinc aluminates tend to eliminate sintering of starting materials due to a strong material-support interaction. Zinc sulphate (ZnSO4), alum (Na2SO4-Al2O3-24 H2O), potassium per magnet (KMnO4), and urea (NH2-CO-NH2) were used as starting materials. In this process urea is used as a chelating agent.
Keywords: Spinal structured zinc aluminate, look of fired sample, chelating agent, SEM of samples.
