Allophane with an Al/Si molar ratio of 1.6 was hydrothermally synthesized, followed by calcination at defined temperatures up to 1300 degrees C. The heated products were then characterized using a combination of techniques including X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal analyses, nuclear magnetic resonance, transmission electron microscopy, and N-2 physisorption. In allophane, the imogolite local structure (ImoLS) had a relatively low thermal stability, and the adsorbed water was removed at a low temperature. Five major steps were outlined for the thermal evolution process of allophane. (i) At 200 degrees C or lower, the loss of adsorbed water and partial dehydroxylation of Si-OH accompanying with the formation of Si-O-Si resulted in the loss of ImoLS. (ii) As the temperature rose, further dehydroxylation of Si-OH as well as disassociation of Al-OH occurred, leading to decreases in the specific surface area and porosity due to the continued agglomeration of hollow spherules, whereas the spherical morphology of allophane was largely retained. (iii) At approximately 500 to 900 degrees C, the disconnection of AIO octahedra and SiO tetrahedra caused increased disintegration of the allophane structure and formation of amorphous alumina and silica. (iv) At approximately 1000 degrees C, nanosized mullite was crystallized by the reaction between the yielded amorphous alumina and silica. (v) Finally, further growth of the already-formed mullite crystals and formation of cristobalite occurred, with the consumption of excess silica.
