Bead-Shaped Mesoporous Alumina Adsorbents for Adsorption of Ammonia.

ABSTRACT: It is of great importance to remove toxic gases by efficient methods for recovering the atmosphere to safe levels. The adsorption of the toxic gas molecules on solid adsorbents is one of the most useful techniques because of its simple operation and economic feasibility. Here, we report the uniform Bead-Shaped Mesoporous Alumina (BSMA) with tunable particle size for use as an adsorbent for removal of toxic ammonia. The BSMA particles with tunable diameters were synthesized by means of a sol-gel reaction of Al(NO3)3∙9H2O as an alumina precursor in the presence of chitosan as a template. When the ammonia solution is added dropwise to the prepared viscose mixture containing chitosan, acetic acid, and the alumina precursor solution, the sol-gel condensation reaction of the alumina precursor oc
