The focus of this paper is on the mechanical activation and reactivity of boehmite ( γ -AlOOH) synthesized by thermal transformation (B-TH) and hydrothermal transformation (B-HT) of the same gibbsite (Al 2 O 3 ·3H 2 O) precursor. The central idea is to emphasize the role of sample genesis. The sampl...
