Abstract
Adsorption of diphenyl-, phenyl- and orthophosphate on γ-Al2O3 was studied with a combination of macroscopic and 31P solid-state NMR measurements. Results for adsorption suggest that diphenyl phosphate was bound largely as an outer-sphere complex, while phenyl phosphate was held largely as inner-sphere surface complexes with an outer-sphere complex present only at higher pH values. Both the adsorption edge and the cross polarization magic angle spinning NMR spectra were consistent with the interaction between the surface and phenyl phosphate being driven by electrostatic forces. Adsorption of orthophosphate was more complex, with evidence of outer- and inner-sphere complexes and surface precipitation. Increasing the orthophosphate concentration and equilibration time tended to increase the fraction bound as a surface precipitate.
