The effects on phase imposition

and structure of adding tin to alumina were investi-

gated by X-ray difftaction and thermogravimetric

methods. Structural and phase transfor-

mation were observed to be functions of the calcination

temperature

and composition.

efforts are

often made to maximize the surface area per unit mass of catalytic material maximum, and thus the use of highly dispersed metal is the traditional

approach to this problem. In praG

t&x, small metal particles cannot exist separately and therefore they have to be prevented from coming into contact with each other to avoid aggregation and sintering. A high degree of metal dispersion

on the surface area can be obtained by an appropriate

carrier [r-4], addition of another metal [5-81 or non-mctul[9], pretreatment

RESULTS

AND

DISCUSSION

For the mixtures of the maximum tin conccnttation

(Sn-0.5 and Sn-1 see Table I), at

the final stage of tin (IV) acetate addition into the alcohol solution of Al(OC3H7)3,

a

white precipitate was observed to appear (of a gel-like consistency) which dissolved in the’ process of mixing

Only in the case of the Sn-1 sample were we unable to reverse the

process. The reason for the observed opacity seems to be the pseudoesterification

and

different solubility of the transient products of the reaction in the system carbon tctmchlo ride - isopropanol Al(OC3H7)3

The results of chemical analysis shown in Table I prove that the actual composition of samples is consistent

with that expected and the insignificant

differences are due to the

adsorbed water. If not stated otherwise in the text, all samples prior to use have been dried at 100°C for 24 hrs. Figures 1-4 present diffraction spectra of studied systems subjected to thermal treatment at 500, 800, 1000 and lZMJ% in air. As expected [32,33], the X-ray reflections
