METHOD FOR PRODUCING ACTIVATED ALUMINA CATALYST

摘要

A method of making activated alumina including the steps of dissolving a double salt of aluminum in a solution of pure water at 85.degree.C, recrystalizing the double salt at a pressure about 250 psi and temperature ranging from 200.degree.C to 250.degree.C, precipitating out the purified basic double salt, drying the precipitated double salt to drive off water and roasting it at 850.degree.C to 950.degree.C to drive off the sulfate, washing to remove the potassium sulfate and then drying the remaining alumina to yield activated alumina for use as a high-grade catalyst.
