This study aims to synthesize a nanocrystalline alumina doped with chromia by using aluminum foil waste as a source of alumina and chromium nitrate non-hydrate as a source of chromia. Chromia doped alumina was prepared by co-precipitation method and fired at different temperatures. The co-precipitated powder formed thereby has been examined by XRD, FTIR and TEM techniques. X-Ray diffraction patterns show a good crystalline of the powder with very sharp and neat peaks at high temperatures more than 1000°C. The results of FTIR analysis confirmed the getting of solid solution of alumina chromia. TEM photographs show the good distribution of the particles, which have an average particle size of 1-3 nm at low temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
