The thermal behaviour of boehmite was followed by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis to determine the transformation temperatures. By calcinations of boehmite at temperatures ranging between 250-1000ºC, transitional aluminas (γ, δ , θ-Al2O3) were synthesized and characterized by XRD, TEM and FTIR. All the transitional aluminas exhibit nanometric crystallite size, ranging from 2.5-15nm. γ-Al2O3 was obtained as a nanostructured material at 500ºC with a cell parameter a=7.923Å. δ-phase stars to appear at 850ºC with a crystallite size of 6nm and cell parameters a=5.672Å and c=24.600Å. For θ-Al2O3 the cell parameters, in Å, were a=11.817, b=2.912, c=5.621and β=103.8º. The progressive conversion of the transitional phase γ-Al2O3 into the stable polymorph α-alumina, takes place gradually and a four-phases region is achieved at 1000ºC, where coexist with other transitional phase such as δ- and θ-Al2O3.
