Summary
-
1.
Simultaneous precipitation by ammonia at a final pH of 6.4– 7.6 of alumina-chrome catalysts containing up to 25% chromium-III oxide, gives products consisting of a solid solution of their components with a defective spinel structure (γ -phase). For higher chromia concentrations there arises a corundum (rhombohedral) phase consisting of a solid solution of alumina in the chromium oxide.
-
2.
Neitherγ-Cr2O3 norη -Cr2O3 is observed by phase analysis of the catalysts.
-
3.
The effect of composition and temperature of ignition on the texture of the alumino-chrome catalysts has been studied.
-
4.
According to data on the texture of binary catalysts (alumina with chromium-III oxide, nickel oxide, ferric oxide and zirconium-IV oxide), it has been found that the alumina-chromium-III oxide system possesses the greatest thermal stability.
-
5.
It has been shown that there is considerable effect of precipitation pH on the texture of alumino-chrome catalysts.
