Abstract

The 27Al MAS-NMR spectra of alumina aerogels were determined. The spectra showed different profiles according to the supercritical methods used during drying. The alumina aerogel supercritically dried in a CO2 extractor (80 °C, 15.7 MPa) displayed a pentahedral-coordinated aluminum structure. On the other hand, the alumina aerogel supercritically dried in an autoclave (270 °C, 26.5 MPa) revealed no pentahedral-coordinated aluminum structure. The absence of pentahedral-coordinated aluminum was one factor for the lower temperature of transformation from the γ to the θ phase.
