abstract = "The aim of this work was an investigation of experimental conditions for mechanochemical synthesis and sintering of spinel zinc titanate (Zn2TiO4). Starting powder mixtures of zinc oxide and titan dioxide in the molar ratio, in accordance with the stoichiometrics of spinel zinc titanate, were mechanically activated by grinding in a planetary ball mill for various periods of time in the interval of 0 to 300 minutes. Changes of physico-chemical characteristics and microstructure parameters in the ZnO—TiO2 system after grinding were followed using specific surface area analysis and X-ray powder diffraction, while thermal behavior was examined by differential thermal analysis and dilatometry. The beginning of zinc titanate formation was noticed after 30 minutes of milling, and prolonged milling led to the formation of spinel zinc titanate as the major phase with an insignificant amount of unreacted zinc oxide and titan dioxide. The main conclusions based on this analysis are that Zn2TiO4 ceramics could be obtained by mechanical activation after a certain time without additional thermal treatment and that sintering temperature as well as the formation temperatures of zinc-titanate are significantly lowered using mechanical treatment.",
