ABSTRACT:
A process for producing alumina and other aluminia products where the formation of a Schiff base imine by reaction of a orgaonaluminum amide or imide oligomer with a carbonyl compound is promoted by the Lewis acid character of the oligomer. The water byproduct of the Schiff base serves as an in situ reagent for subsequent hydrolysis and sol-gel condensation of the aluminum species with concomitant production of alkane. The imine then is washed from the alumina with a suitable solvent. Any of a number of primary amines and aldehydes or ketones may be reagents. Calcining of the sol-gels yields high surface area alumina as characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and gas physisorption measurements. Microporous and/or mesoporous alumina is obtained depending on synthesis conditions. Alumina microspheres are obtained under certain conditions.
