Abstract: It was analyzed that the chemistry reaction occured in the process of carbothermal reaction and nitration of natural Kaolin. The influence of temperature and gas pressure on the product composition was studied in thermodynamics. The speed controlling step was discovered by combining the experimental results and theoretic calculation. The favourite temperature was discussed for acquiring more β -Sialon powders.

Key words: β -Sialon powders, reaction and nitration, thermodynamic process
