Enhancement of the Texture & Morphology of Nano γ-Alumina as a Support for Naphtha Reforming Catalyst

The morphology of nano gamma alumina affects the molecule adsorption-desorption phenomena. In this case, manipulating surface area, pore volume, and size by technique preparation to control textural properties alumina. Washing synthesized boehmite gel with methanol has a significant effect. co-precipitation method was used prepare alumina, which is involved adding drop-by-drop ammonium hydroxide aluminum nitrate nonahydrate solutions cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) cationic surfactant solution at 30 C adjust PH 8. Nitrogen analysis (ASAP 2020), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were examine obtained material. Surface area (362 m2/g), volume (0.51 cm3/g), (5.2 nm), narrow distribution obtained.
