Formation of aluminum hydroxide by a hydrolytic reaction of nano aluminum powder synthesized by a pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method has been studied. The type and morphology of the hydroxides were investigated with various initial temperatures and pHs. The nano fibrous boehmite (AlOOH) was formed predominantly over $40^{circ}C$ of the hydrolytic temperature in acid solution, while the bayerite $(Al(OH)_3)$ was formed predominantly below $30^{circ}C$ in alkali solution with a faceted crystalline structure. As a result the boehmite showed a much larger specific surface area (SSA) than that of bayerite. The highest SSA of the boehmite was about $409;m^2/g$.
