Preparation method of silica alumina gel catalyst support
Precipitation method
The precipitation method is one of the common methods for preparing silica alumina gel catalyst supports. This method usually involves mixing a silicon source and an aluminum source under certain conditions, and then adding a precipitant to precipitate the silicon and aluminum in the form of precipitation. By controlling the precipitation conditions, such as temperature, pH value, type and dosage of precipitant, the physical and chemical properties of silicon aluminum adhesive can adjust. The precipitation method has the advantages of simple operation and low cost, but it also has problems such as uneven precipitation particles and wide pore size distribution.
Sol gel method
Sol gel method is an advanced preparation method. It hydrolyzes silicon source and aluminum source in solvent to form sol, then forms gel through gel process, and finally obtains silica alumina gel catalyst carrier through drying and roasting. The sol gel method can precisely control the structure and performance of the silicone aluminum adhesive, and prepare the carrier with uniform pore size distribution and large specific surface area. However, the process of this method is relatively complex, the cost is high, and strict control of reaction conditions required during the preparation process.
Other methods
In addition to precipitation method and sol-gel method, there are other preparation methods, such as spray drying method, hydrothermal synthesis method, etc. The spray drying method is to dry the silica alumina sol into particles by spray, which can prepare spherical silica alumina gel carrier with good fluidity. The hydrothermal synthesis method involves reacting under high temperature and high pressure hydrothermal conditions to prepare silicon aluminum gel catalyst supports with special structures and properties.
