Abstract
A method of producing a hydrophobic porous alumina by: i) providing a slurry comprising an alumina compound, the slurry having a pH equal to or greater than 7; ii) adding an organic composition comprising carboxylic acids with alkyl hydrocarbon chains having a carbon length less than 14 to the slurry to form an acidic modified slurry; the acidic modified slurry having a pH of between 3 and less than 7; iii) hydrothermally aging the acidic modified slurry to form a hydrothermally aged slurry; and iv) drying the hydrothermally aged slurry.
