The effect of polyoxyethylene (40) stearate surfactant on novel synthesis of mesoporous γ-alumina from Kano kaolin

Mesoporous γ-alumina was synthesized by acid extraction of alumina from Kano kaolin using polyoxyethylene (40) stearate (PS) as a surfactant. The synthesized alumina was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption–desorption, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), field emis...
