Abstract

High surface area alumina, and a method of preparing them. More specifically, a method of preparing aluminas having a surface area of from about 300 square meters per gram to about 700 square meters per gram, by preparing a first solution of an aluminum alkoxide and an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethers, ketones, aldehydes, and mixtures thereof, admixing the first solution with a second solution comprising water and an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethers, ketones, aldehydes, and mixtures thereof, to form a solid material, and drying and calcining the solid material to recover alumina. Also, an alumina with an average micropore diameter of from about 20 angstroms to about 100 angstroms, and a total pore volume of from about 0.35 ml/g to about 1 ml/g.
