Effect Of Preparation Methods On Property Of La, Ba Co-Modified Alumina

The effect of preparation method on the properties of alumina modified by La2O3 and BaO was investigated by means of Low temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption, NH3-TPD, NO-TPD and XRD. The results show that alumina prepared by peptizing method exhibits the best textural properties, alumina obtained by co-precipitation method presents the strongest surface acidity and alumina derived from impregnation method shows the best ability of NO adsorption. After calcination at 1100 degrees C, all alumina except that from impregnation method have excellent thermal stability. When the specific surface area and pore volume of alumina are large enough, the activity of catalyst Pd/alumina is affected primarily by the surface acidity of alumina.
