A new rapid, very simple and one-step sol-gel strategy for the large-scale preparation of highly porous γ-Al₂O₃ is presented. The resulting mesoporous alumina materials feature high surface areas (400 m² g-1), large pore volumes (0.8 mL g-1) and the γ-Al₂O₃ phase is obtained at low temperature (500 °C). The main advantages and drawbacks of different preparations of mesoporous alumina materials ...

two-component reaction of 2-aminobenzophenones with acetylenic esters in the presence of γ-al2o3 and cu/zno as suitable heterogeneous catalysts has been studied. nano γ-al2o3 and cu/zno showed high activities when used as surface catalysts for the synthesis of quinoline derivatives. after completion of the reaction, the catalyst was recovered and reused several times under the same reaction con...

Novel uniform single-crystal boehmite leaf-like nanosheets with high anisotropy (with a lateral size of (4.5±0.5 μm)×(9.0±1.0 μm) and a thickness of 60–90 nm) and flower-like superstructures consisting of single-crystal petals were synthesized for the first time by a simple hydrothermal method. After calcination, those boehmite structures can be transformed into single-crystal gamma-alumina nan...

In the present investigation, γ-alumina nanoparticles with particle sizes less than 10 nm, high specific surface area (351 m2/g), high pore volumes and relatively narrow pore sizes distribution was prepared via sol-gel method in presence of aluminum isopropoxide as an aluminum precursor, distilled water, acetic acid as hydrolysis rate controller and tert-butanol as solvent. They had meso ...

The wear resistance of Al2O3/2.5 vol.% Ni nanocomposites sintered by a conventional route was studied under ball-on-disk dry sliding conditions and compared with the same nanocomposites but consolidated by spark plasma sintering, together with alumina obtained by the same technique and by hot pressing. The results showed an improvement of about 0.5, 1 and 2 orders of magnitude, respectively. Th...
