The aim of this work was to analyse the kinetics and microstructure evolution of ZnO sintering pro­cess. ZnO powder was isothermally sintered (15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min) in the temperature range from 8000C to 12000C. The values of Lenel parameter were calculated and used for the analysis of the densification and mass transport processes. Using scanning electron microscopy the analysis of the microstructure evolution and dependence of the average grain size with temperature and time of sintering was obtained. The results of this research could enable development of a new phenom­enological equations in the analyses of ZnO-based materials sintering kinetics.
