The acicular mullite was synthesized by molten salt synthesis method using Al2(SO4)3·18H2O, SiO2 as raw materials and K2SO4, Na2SO4 as flux of molten salt. The effect of synthesis temperature, amount of molten salt and soaking time on mullite crystal was investigated. The growth mechanism of synthesis acicular mullite crystal was also analyzed. The results show that acicular mullite can he synthesized by using K2SO4 as molten salt, the weight ratio of molten salt and reactant materials is 1: 1, the synthesis temperature is 1000 ℃ and soaking time is over 3 h. The growth mechanism of acicular mullite is accord with the liquid-solid mechanics.
