Gas and surface diffusion in modified γ-alumina systems

GAS AND SURFACE DIFFUSION IN MODIFIED y-ALUMINA SYSTEMS

The transport of pure gases through a microporous membrane is described. The alumina-based membrane (pores 2.5-4 nm) is suitable for Knudsen diffusion separation . To improve the separation factor, interaction with and mobility on the pore wall of one of the gases of a mixture is necessary. To introduce surface diffusion of oxygen and hydrogen, a y-alumina membrane was impregnated with silver ....

Preparation and Characterization of High Specific Surface Area γ-Alumina Nanoparticles Via Sol-Gel Method

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 ...

Surface modification of γ-alumina by NaNO2, NaNO3, HNO2, HNO3 and H2SO4: A DFT-D approach

In this study, the dissociative adsorption of NaNO2, NaNO3, HNO2, HNO3 and H2SO4 over (1 1 0) surface of γ-alumina non-spinel model were investigated through the dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) at PBE-D/DNP level of calculation. It was found that all of the species are dissociated to their ionic forms after...
