SUMMARY:

Charcoal has flexibility in its applications, being able to compose from components for pigmentation of paints to, when going through an activation process, to be applied in catalytic and adsorptive processes. Subsequently, the coal can undergo thermal and chemical treatments, such as calcination and impregnation, to further optimize its characteristics. A synthesis process currently studied is the sol-gel process, in which a colloidal solution is used that rapidly precipitates forming a gel and, being heat treated, can generate a micro or meso-porous material, increasing its specific area. This work aimed to develop a support for a catalyst based on charcoal and alumina, which was synthesized in the charcoal pores by the sol-gel method using steam in the hydrolysis step. The synthesis inside the pores can be verified by a set of analyzes such as: XRD, where it was possible to assume the presence of structures of pseudoboehmite and γ-alumina; Thermogravimetry indicated a reduction in mass loss for the treated coal due to the thermal stability of the alumina; Physisorption of N2 indicated an increase in specific area (8.97%) and total pore volume increased (9.48%) in relation to untreated coal; SEM/EDS confirmed the presence of aluminum oxide inside the walls of the pores of the coal, as well as on its surface, which could be observed due to the magnification of the sample and by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Therefore, in the tests carried out, there is a strong indication of the production of the mixed material of coal/alumina sol-gel object of study of this work.
