Synthesis of AlPO4-5 and CrAPO-5 using aluminum dross.
AlPO(4)-5 and its chromium-containing analogue, CrAPO-5, were prepared using aluminum dross in the presence of triethylamine as a structure directing agent; both Al dross powder and an extracted precipitate from Al dross in an alkali solution were used as an aluminum source. These materials were characterized by XRD, BET surface area measurement, SEM, EDX, XRF, ESR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Their textural properties were found close to those of the corresponding reference samples prepared using pure Al(OH)(3). CrAPO-5 samples prepared from the aluminum dross were tested as a catalyst for liquid phase oxidation of tetralin using t-butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidizing agent, which showed virtually identical catalytic performances to that obtained by a reference CrAPO-5 catalyst.
