Studies on Oxide Catalysts. XXXVII. On the Influence of Preparation Conditions on the Properties of Silica-Alumina Silica-alumina samples of different composition were prepared by coprecipitation from aqueous solutions at pH = 6 and pH = 9, respectively. Structures and properties of the solids were characterized (i.r., DTA, X-ray, molybdato method, surface acidity, catalytic activity in the cracking reaction of cumene). Solid composition and pH value of the precipitation medium equally exhibit influence on the structure of the silica-alumina (kind of incorporation of the aluminium) and thereby on the acidic and catalytic properties of the solids. Silica-alumina of equal composition but precipitated at different pH values may widely differ in their properties including activity-composition dependency. |
