Abstract in Portuguese
O controle da temperatura de transformação de fase gama-alfa da alumina pelo uso de aditivos iônicos tem sido alvo de diversos estudos nas ultimas décadas. No entanto, os efeitos destes aditivos são usualmente explicados considerando apenas parâmetros cinéticos e de difusão e a conseqüência destas impurezas nas energias dos polimorfos e nas energias de superfície são geralmente desconsideradas. Neste trabalho, o efeito termodinâmico do Zr, Mg e Mn na transformação gama-alfa é estudado para pós de Al2O3 preparados pelo método do precursor polimérico. Microcalorimetria de adsorção acoplada com calorimetria de dissolução de alta temperatura mostraram que os íons Zr diminuem a energia de superfície do gama-Al2O3, aumentando a estabilidade da fase de transição, que é fortemente dependente desta energia. Utilizando as mesmas técnicas, mostrou-se que o íon Mg aumenta a estabilidade termodinâmica do g-Al2O3, também aumentando a temperatura de transformação. O efeito do Mg, no entanto, foi também relacionado a efeitos cinéticos tais como a diminuição de difusão pela rede. A ação do íon Mn na diminuição da temperatura de transformação foi sugerida como fortemente relacionada a parâmetros de difusão. Vacâncias geradas pela substituição de Al3+ por Mn4+ seriam responsáveis pelo aumento do processo difusional atômico pela rede, fazendo com que o sistema atinja o tamanho crítico pré-determinado para esta reação em temperaturas mais baixas. Estas importantes conclusões abrem novas perspectivas no estudo da ação de aditivos em processos de alta temperatura, que devem ser avaliados considerando ambos efeitos termodinâmico e difusional.

Abstract in English
The control of the gamma-alpha alumina transformation temperature using ionic additives has been the subject of several studies in the past decades. In this sense, the influence of these additives is usually explained considering only kinetic and diffusional parameters. Effects of these impurities on energetics of polymorphism and surface energies are usually disregarded. In this work, the thermodynamic effect of Zr, Mg and Mn on the gamma-alpha transformation is reported on Al2O3 powders prepared by the polymeric precursor method. Adsorption microcalorimetry coupled with high temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry showed that Zr ions dramatically decrease the surface energy of gamma-Al2O3, increasing the stability of the transition phase as which has been described to have its stability considerably related to the surface energy. By the same techniques, Mg was shown to increase the thermodynamic stability of g-alumina, also increasing the transformation temperature. The role of Mg on the control of the transformation temperature, however, was also related to kinetic factors, such as the bulk diffusion decreasing. The effect of Mn on decreasing the transformation temperature, however, was considered to be almost completely related to diffusion parameters, and vacancies generated by the substitution of Al3+ by Mn4+ would be responsible for the increase in bulk diffusion, allowing the system to reach a pre-determined critical particle size at lower temperatures. These important conclusions opened new perspectives in the role of additives in the high-temperature processes that should now on be evaluated from both thermodynamic effects and kinetics viewpoints.
