A wide application of magnesium aluminate spinel powder has attracted a number of studies concerning the preparation of magnesium aluminate spinel powder. In this study, a precursor for magnesium aluminate spinel was synthesized by a homogeneous precipitation method using urea as a precipitant. The precursor and the calcined powders were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. After precipitation, the precursor was magnesium aluminium hydrate carbonate compound. By calcining, the precursor decomposed to MgO and an amorphous phase after calcining at 600°C. The formation of magnesium aluminate spinel via a reaction between MgO and the amorphous phase was observed after calcining over 800°C. The equiaxed magnesium aluminate spinel nanoparticles with particle size of 20-40 nm were obtained after calcining at 1100°C for 2 hours. Sinterability of the obtained magnesium aluminate spinel nanoparticles was also investigated by sintering compacts of magnesium aluminate spinel nanoparticles in the temperature interval of 1300-1650°C. Sintering temperature of 1600°C allowed the fabrication of dense magnesium aluminate spinel ceramics with relative density >95%.
