Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of inorganic material preparation, and particularly relates to a gamma-alumina octahedral crystal grain material and a preparation method thereof.

Background

Activated alumina, as a carrier material widely used in the industrial field, generally has the advantages of high pore volume, high specific surface area, high catalytic activity, and the like. In the heterogeneous catalysis process, key factors influencing the reaction activity and selectivity of the catalyst comprise the properties of the surface and the like of the catalyst. The surface property of the crystal catalyst is closely related to the crystal face of the crystal, the anisotropy of the crystal causes the physicochemical properties of the crystal on different crystal faces to be different, and the catalytic performance of the catalyst has stronger correlation with the exposed crystal face.

For activated alumina (gamma-alumina), research has shown that the (110) crystal plane is thermodynamically most stable and therefore is usually preferentially exposed. Other crystal faces of the activated alumina, such as (111) face and (100) face, have different interface chemical properties from (110) face, and in order to obtain an alumina carrier material with higher performance, the crystal face of the alumina can be regulated and modified by a series of means to obtain special physicochemical properties. But the intrinsic crystal growth habit of the predominance of the (110) crystal plane of activated alumina is difficult to change easily.

[ fine petrochemical, 2014, 31 (5): 38-43, the relation between the surface properties and the crystal plane characteristics of the single crystal small particle gamma-alumina is studied, and the alumina crystal is found to mainly expose (110) crystal plane family and (111) crystal plane family, wherein the surface of the (110) crystal plane family accounts for 70.4 percent, and the surface of the (111) crystal plane family accounts for 29.6 percent.

[ contemporary chemical industry, 2015, 44 (5): 951-954 ] nanometer gamma-alumina single crystal particles containing a (110) crystal plane and further having high-index surface crystal planes (752), (541) and the like are prepared. However, the high-index crystal face of alumina has high activity and large interface energy, is difficult to exist stably in thermodynamics, and is not suitable for being used as a catalytic material in the field of catalytic reaction.

[ petroleum refining and chemical engineering, 2013, 44 (9): 47-50. the crystal face distribution range of the alumina single crystal particles can be changed to a certain extent by adding sodium nitrate into a hydrothermal system, but the regulation range is limited due to the inherent habit of alumina crystals, and the crystal face of alumina is still dominated by (110).

The research results show that the space for directly regulating and controlling the crystal face distribution of the alumina single crystal particles is very limited, and the effect is not very obvious. Other indirect methods of modulating the crystal plane of alumina that may exist are self-assembly. CN200910011627.6, CN200910206229.X and CN200910011626.1 adopt aluminum hydroxide gel prepared by a molten salt super-solubilization micelle self-assembly method as a raw material, and after roasting, regular rod-shaped nano aluminum oxide secondary particles are obtained. [ Chinese science, 2009, 39 (5): 420-431 and [ journal of inorganic chemistry, 2015, 31 (8): 1539-1547, the self-assembly technique and mechanism of the alumina super-solubilization micelle are provided. The self-assembly method of the activated alumina secondary particles can greatly influence the pore structure and the aggregation form of the material, but the obvious effect on the regulation and control of the crystal face distribution and the exposure characteristic of the activated alumina is still difficult to obtain.
