Magnesium oxide nano-powder is synthesized by precipitation from colloidal solutions by the chemical reaction approach using LiO.H2O and MgNO3. The effects of temperature, stirring speed, dilution and addition method on the grain size of the produced magnesium oxide powder have been investigated.
The powder was characterized using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD and SEM measurements indicate that the magnesium oxide powder produced by the chemical technique has a crystal structure size in a range of 18-36 nanometers. the results obtained throughout the course work of experimental runs conducted showed no significant effect of stirring speed, dilution and method of addition on the particle size, while variation of temperature was found to have a little effect on the particle size.
