Abstract
The adsorption properties of nanocomposites based on γ-Al2O3 modified with CeOx, Au/CeOx, and Pd/CeOx nanoparticles with contents of deposited metals ranging from 0.07 to 1.71 wt % are investigated by means of dynamic sorption method. n-Alkanes (C6–C8), acetonitrile, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and dioxane are used as test adsorbates. Adsorption isotherms are measured, and the isosteric heats of adsorption of a number of test adsorbates are calculated. Electron-donor and electron-acceptor characteristics of the surfaces of γ-Al2O3-based nanocomposites are estimated. It is shown that Au(0.1%)/CeOx(0.07%)/γ-Al2O3 nanocomposite, which has the lowest content of nanoparticles of the deposited metals, has the highest adsorption activity.
