The mesoporous range is 2-50 nanometer for every solid materials. Alumina powder whose particle size is in between 2-50 nonometer is called as mesoporous alumina.

What is differences between Zeolites and silica-alumina?

Though both of these substances are made of an aluminosilicate framework, there are some key differences in regard to their morphologies, physical properties, and acidity. For instance silica-alumina is an amorphous material, and zeolites on the other hand are cyrstalline in nature. A key physical difference is that zeolites are typically microporous (i.e. very small pores) and silica-alumina are mesoporous (i.e. moderate sized pores). Lastly the Bronsted acid sites on zeolites have been found to significanly stronger than those on silica-alumina, due to the homogeneity of the zeolite.


What is difference between calcined alumina and alumina hydrate?

Calcined alumina is produced by heating alumina hydrate to high temperatures, which removes the chemically bonded water and results in a more pure form of alumina. Alumina hydrate, on the other hand, contains chemically bonded water molecules and is typically used as a flame retardant or filler material due to its lower processing temperature and cost effectiveness.

How do you break aluminum alumina bond?

I'm not quite sure what you mean because alumina is a compound (aluminum oxide or Al2O3) and aluminum is an element. Therefore, there isn't a bond per se from aluminum to alumina... just aluminum-aluminum bonds and aluminum-oxygen bonds. I do know that alumina will dissolve in a strong base solution, such as KOH or NaOH, and so if you have a layer of alumina on an aluminum sheet, a strong base solution will remove it. Also, a strong acid will dissolve the aluminum. (I do have to admit I'm not entirely sure what the effect of a strong base on aluminum and a strong acid on alumina is, though... and that might be a problem... hmm...)


What is the difference between alpha and gamma alumina?

Alpha alumina has cubic crystal structure, and gamma - rhombohedral (i.e. it is a "skewed cubic") Due to their geometry the typical surface area of a particle is affected, and alpha alumina has fewer -OH groups than gamma alumina. Iron oxide can also have either alpha or gamma structure, and is described on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_oxide
