摘要
In the present study high surface area amorphous boehmite and γ-alumina were synthesised using walnut shell as template. This green, simple and useful synthetic protocol was based on the precipitation of aluminium hydroxide as the source of aluminium on biomass in an aqueous phase followed by calcination. The influence of walnut shell was evaluated by varying the calcination atmosphere. N2 adsorption/desorption porosimetry exhibited high surface area for boehmite and γ-alumina. Furthermore, the pore size and surface area of these mesoporous materials can be adjusted by varying the experimental conditions. Additionally, boehmite was studied as the support of vanadium catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols by hydrogen peroxide. We have found that resulting V-loaded material act as an effective catalytic system for the oxidation of a wide range of alcohols in 1,4-dioxane. The catalyst can be recovered and reused four times without loss of activity. Copyright © 2019 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
