Characteristics and formation of [AlO_4Al_(12)(OH)_(24)(H_2O)_(12)]~(7+) in electrolysis process

[AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12] + (Al13) formation in electrolysis process is studied. The results detected by27Al NMR spectroscopy show that high content of Al13 polymer is formed in the partially hydrolyzed aluminum solution prepared by controlled electrolysis process. In the produced electrolyte of total Al concentration ([AlT]) 2.0 mol · L-1 with a basicity (B = OH/Al molar ratios) of 2.0, the content of Al13 polymer is over 60% of total Al. Dynamic light scattering shows that the size distribution of the final electrolyte solutions ([AlT] = 2.0 mol · L-1) is trimodal with B = 2.0 and bimodal with B = 2.5. The aggregates of Al13 complexes increase the particle size of partially hydrolyzed aluminum solution.     

[AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12]7+的电化学合成及表征

研究了[AlO₄Al₁₂(OH)₂₄(H₂O)₁₂]⁷⁺ (Al₁₃)的电化学合成方法, 并采用²⁷Al NMR法和激光光散射等方法对其形态进行表征. ²⁷Al NMR法证明在电解制备的总铝浓度(Al_T)为2.0mol/L, 碱化度(B )为2.0的部分水解铝溶液中, Al₁₃占总铝量的60%以上. 激光光散射实验结果表明, 电解法制备的Al_T=2.0 mol/L, B=2.0的部分水解铝溶液存在三种粒径分布, Al₁₃以单体和多聚体的形式存在. 在B为2.5时颗粒粒径变大, 存在两种粒径分布, 并且大部分Al₁₃以多个Al₁₃聚集的形态存在.
