Nano gamma-alumina support was prepared successfully by Sol-gel method using aluminum nitrate without and with carbon nanotubes as a template at different calcination temperatures (600, 650, and 700°C) and then loaded with 0.3% of platinum and 0.3% of tungsten by the wet- impregnation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), atomic force microscope (AFM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and (BET) surface area were used to characterize the prepared nano catalyst. The best results obtained were 389.34 m2/gm surface area, 0.468 cm3 /gm pore volume, 8.07 nm pore size and 42.71 nm average particle size for the prepared nana gamma-alumina at a calcination temperature of 600°C.
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.
