Doped precipitated silica

摘要

Al-doped precipitated silica particles have a BET surface area above 300 m<2>/g and uniformly distributed Al. An Independent claim is also included for production of the doped silica in which an Al salt solution is added in step (a) and (c) of the following process: (a) heating a water/Na silicate mixture to 70-86 degrees C and neutralizing the Na silicate with H2SO4; (b) ageing the solution for 30-120 minutes; (c) adjusting to pH 3-7 by addition of H2SO4; and (d) filtering and spray drying and milling the washed filter cake.
