The high purity mullite whiskers were successfully prepared via molten-salt synthesis (MSS) method using eutectic salt Na2SO4 as the flux at a relatively low temperature of 1100 °C for 3 h from a mixture of coal gangue and Al2(SO4)3·18H2O. The phase formation and microstructure of the as synthesized whiskers were characterized via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of Na2SO4 content on the morphology and size of the resulting mullite whiskers were also investigated in detail. The results indicate that the as fabricated mullite whiskers are dispersed uniformly with a diameter of 43-69 nm and a relatively large aspect ratio of more than 30.
