摘要
Stable sol containing boehmite (Al-O-OH) and titanium butoxide in 1:1 Al2O3-TiO2 stoichiometry was prepared in the presence of acetate ions. The progress of gelation was studied by nephelometry. Gelation was carried out in 2:1 water-isopropanol and water-dioxane mixtures having different polarities. The time required for the formation of aluminium titanate precursor gel is considerably reduced in the case of water-isopropanol and water dioxane systems. All the gels have been spray-dried to spherical powders which were further characterised by thermal decomposition, particle-size distribution and surface morphology. The TGA curves were identical while there was considerable variation in the particle size and morphology.
