摘要
A novel technique has been devised for the synthesis of microporous 伪-Cr2O3 (eskolaite). The technique was based on the formation of amorphous-Cr2O3 onto microporous activated carbon through adsorption-reduction of dichromate ions at the activated carbon/aqueous solution interface. Then, the Cr2O3-loaded carbon was thermally processed under oxidizing conditions to remove the carbon and recover the chromium oxide as 伪-Cr2O3. Both the Cr2O3-loaded carbon and the synthetic product were characterized by XRD, SEM, surface area and pore volume measurements. The synthetic eskolaite assayed 97.3%Cr2O3 and its specific surface area was 15.48 m2/g and pore size of 16.1 脜.
