Comparison Between Sol-Gel, Coprecipitation and Wet Mixing Synthesis of ZnAl2O4

Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

ZnAl2O4 was prepared by hydrolyzing a mixture of aluminum alkoxide with zinc nitrate dissolved in hexylene glycol and calcining at 800°C. The results are compared with those obtained by wet mixing and coprecipitation. The sol-gel method produces solids whose surface areas and pore volumes are 100% larger and with a more homogeneous pore size distribution.
