J. Rynkowski et al., INFLUENCE OF CALCINATION AND LITHIUM PROMOTION ON THE SURFACE-PROPERTIES OF OXIDE SUPPORTS, Reaction kinetics and catalysis letters, 58(1), 1996, pp. 169-175
Thermal treatment and the addition of lithium influence the surface ar
ea of the oxides SiO2, Al2O3 and MgO. A calcination temperature greate
r than or equal to 1073 K causes a significant decrease of the surface
area of SiO2 and Al2O3; the same is not observed in case of MgO. Syst
ems Li/MgO and Li/SiO2 are characterized by a much smaller specific su
rface area than pure oxides thermally treated at the same temperature.
