Al2O3/SiO2 Materials with Bimodal Pore Size Distribution as Support for Heterogeneous Catalysts

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Al2O3/SiO2 materials prepared by impregnation of mesoporous silica with water solution of Al(NO3)3·9H2O were suggested to be used as supports for catalyst of high-temperature catalytic reactions. It was shown that the distribution of Al2O3 component inside wide pores of silica (10-50 nm) occurs with the formation of Al2O3 layer in case of low loading and porous layer or particles, if Al2O3 loading increases. Thus, materials with bimodal pore size distribution were obtained. The Cr-containing catalysts were prepared on the basis of these supports and tested in the process of isobutane dehydrogenation at 540 °C. It was observed that the activity of the obtained Cr/Al2O3/SiO2 materials was comparable with the one for Cr/Al2O3 catalyst. Thus, the suggested Al2O3/SiO2 materials with unique porous structure are promising to be used as supports for catalysts for high-temperature reactions.
