The Preparation of High Alumina Content Alumina Sol

Article Preview

Abstract:

The alumina sol with high content of Al2O3 was prepared by peptizing aluminum hydroxide powder. The properties of the alumina sol were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, zeta potential analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that the sol with high content of Al2O3 can be easily prepared by peptizing the soluble aluminum hydroxide powder, the smaller of the size of aluminum hydroxide powder, the higher of the aluminum content of the alumina sol. Two-step peptization process is optimum, the effect of peptization aluminum hydroxide powder using AlCl3 :HCl=1:4 solution as peptizer is best, the alumina sol sample with pH value of 2.5 and alumina content 11% had good stability. A great application potential of the high alumina content sol has been displayed in preparing FCC catalysts.
