Synthesis of mesoporous γ-alumina by sol–gel process and its characterization and application for sorption of Pu(IV)

Mesoporous γ-alumina samples were prepared by the sol–gel process from the boehmite sol having different template solutions. Copper doped material was also prepared from sol containing template solution along with copper nitrate. Studies were performed to understand the influence of templates on the...

Description
Summary:Mesoporous γ-alumina samples were prepared by the sol–gel process from the boehmite sol having different template solutions. Copper doped material was also prepared from sol containing template solution along with copper nitrate. Studies were performed to understand the influence of templates on the morphology of the synthesized samples particularly with respect to specific surface area and porosity. Synthesized samples were used to study sorption of Pu(IV) from nitric acid–oxalic acid solutions. Distribution ratios (D) for Pu(IV) were determined using the γ-alumina samples with an objective to employ these for the recovery of Pu.
