The adsorption of Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA) and Pahokee peat humic acid (PPHA) at the boehmite (gamma-AlOOH)/water interface and the impact of SRFA on boehmite dissolution have been examined o...
Boehmite was synthesized and characterized in order to study the adsorption behavior and the removal of Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions as a function of contact time, initial pH solution, amount of...
Solid-state Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), evolved gas analysis-FTIR (EGA-FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) have been used to inve...
Acid/base reactions and pyrocatechol violet complexation at the boehmite-solution interface have been investigated in 0.10 M K(Cl) solution at 298.2 K in the range 5.0=-log h=9.0. Equilibrium meas...
Structural changes induced by ultrasound during the aging of the aluminum monohydroxide (boehmite) were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen adsorption. The BET surface area and th...
Boehmite xerogels are prepared by hydrolysis of Al(OC4H9)3 followed by peptization with HNO3 (H+/Al = 0, 0.07, 0.2). XRD and TEM show that these gels are made of nanosized crystals (5-9 nm in width an...
Yttrium doped boehmite nanofibres with varying yttrium content have been prepared at low temperatures using hydrothermal treatment in the presence of the surfactant polyethylene oxide (PEO). The resul...
In this work, a hydrothermal route using an ethanol-water solution to progressively synthesize a sequence of flowerlike three-dimensional gamma-AlOOH boehmite nanostructures without employing template...
