ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing spherical alumina comprising preparing a basic aluminum chloride solution having an aluminum concentration in the range of from 7 wt.% to 12 wt.% and a weight ratio of aluminum to chloride in the range of from 0.3 to 0.8 by reacting gibbsite with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution at an elevated temperature, preparing an alumina hydrosol having an aluminum concentration in the range of from 9 wt.% to 15 wt.% and a weight ratio of aluminum to chloride in the range of from 0.8 to 1.5 by reacting the thus prepared solution with metallic aluminum at an elevated temperature, commingling this hydrosol with a gelling agent, dispersing the resulting mixture in the form of droplets in a suspending medium thereby to form hydrogel particles, ageing the thus obtained particles in said suspending medium and then an aqueous ammonia, washing with water, drying and calcining. The thus obtained spherical alumina is substantially free from sodium in spite of employing gibbsite as raw material.
