Although Al speciation in freshly prepared sols was not affected by PVP addition the decay rate of Al13 polycations was slightly decreased in PVP-containing sols. PVP does not show any influence on particle size and particle growth. The influence of PVP addition on viscosity and flow behavior of modified Yoldas sols depends on their solids content and NO3-/Al molar ratio.

The components of the sols were characterized by 27Al NMR spectroscopy. The pH-value depends on both the chosen H2O/Al- and NO3 -/Al-ratio and on the aging time of the sols and reflects the composition of the sols. Al13 polycations were detected in sols with a pH-value between 3.0 and 3.7. As a new result its presence was shown by NMR below 3.4. The Al13 content of the sols increased with pH and the maximum fraction of Al13 polycations was detected in the sol with the highest pH (3.7). Nearly 65% of the entire aluminium content of this solution is bound in the Al13 polycations. Hence, a new synthetic method for the preparation of Al13 ions containing sols was developed. Aging studies of the sols showed, that the Al13 polycations were more stable in solutions with higher pH-value. Al13 polycations were detected after an aging time of four months only in sols with a pH-value of 3.7. Tempering the aged sols at 40° to 80°C caused formation of Al13 and also of Al30 polycations.

T1 - Aluminum speciation and thermal evolution of aluminas resulting from modified Yoldas sols N2 - Aluminas resulting from sols prepared via a modified Yoldas procedure were studied with differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential thermal gravimetrie (DTG), 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance (27Al MAS NMR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) concerning their thermal properties, aluminum speciation and phase content. Hydrolysis of aluminum-sec-butoxide in aluminum nitrate solutions allowed to prepare stable sols with varying NO3-/Al molar ratios, solids contents and pH values. Resulting sols contained different aluminum species including also Al13 polycations. Sol preparation conditions also determined aluminum speciation in solid products obtained after thermal treatments of gels obtained from these sols. Al13 polycations and AlO5 species were found to play an important role for thermally induced transformation from amorphous products via eta-Al2O3 to alpha-Al2O3. Intermediately formed eta-Al2O3 promotes the phase transformation to alpha-Al2O3.
