A simple strategy to synthesize and characterization of zirconium modified PCs/γ–Al_2O_3

Crystalline phase is the key factor for catalyst activity. The zirconium modified PCs/γ-Al2O3 samples were prepared through a simple step incipient-wetness impregnation method. The raw materials and samples were characterized by thermogravimetric-differential analysis （TG-DTA）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR）, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide （NH3- and CO2-TPD）. The effects of calcination temperature and zirconium content on structure, chemical transformation, and acidity-basicity were investigated. Calcination temperature exhibited the major effect on the crystalline phase of samples. The new phase of A10.1Zr0.901.95 was exhibited which was above 650 ℃. In addition, zirconium content was influenced by the acidic and basic properties of the surface. The acidity and basicity of the ZrPCs/γ-Al2O3 sample increased with the increasing of zirconium content.
