Titania-alumina supports were prepared successfully using the ultrasound-assisted precipitation method. The resulting supports were characterized by fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 physisorption. The effects of precipitants, washing method and the addition of surfactant CTAB were studied. The supports prepared with NH4HCO3 showed better textural properties compared with that with NH3·H 2O, which was attributed to the low NH4+ release rate of NH4HCO3. TiO2-Al 2O3 support with SBET = 283 m2/g, Vp = 2.34 mL/g an...
