Abstract
A process for the production of an alkaline earth metal, aluminum-containing spinel composition comprises: (a) combining (1) an acidic, aluminum-containing composition in which the aluminum is present in a positively charged species, and (2) a basic, alkaline earth metal-containing composition to form a mixture; and (b) calcining the mixture to form the alkaline earth metal, aluminum-containing spinel composition. Alkaline earth metal, aluminum-containing spinels having both high surface areas and high attrition resistance, and processes for using spinel compositions, e.g., as sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide removal agent, are also disclosed.
