Synthesis of aluminium nitride has been studied by using the starting materials such as-alumina which was prepared at the lowest temperature from AlO(OH), anhydrous aluminium chloride and metallic aluminium powders. For the synthesis of aluminium nitride, the reaction temperature was carefully controlled and the reaction conditions were determined and discussed with the results. Reaction of metallic aluminium powder and nitrogen gas was taken place at relatively low temperature. The reaction parameters were determined kinetically.
