Catalytic materials based on silica and alumina: Structural features and generation of surface acidity
93
TL;DR: The structural, surface chemical and catalytic properties of the materials belonging to the SiO2 Al2O3 system are reviewed critically in this article, where amorphous silicas, transitional aluminas, different silica-aluminas (silica-rich and alumina-rich) and protonic zeolites are taken into consideration.

Reutilization of silicon- and aluminum- containing wastes in the perspective of the preparation of SiO2-Al2O3 based porous materials for adsorbents and catalysts.
TL;DR: It is concluded that mesoporous materials can be prepared from wastes, but care to product quality and to overall process efficiency is needed.

Stuffed Derivatives of Close-Packed Structures.
TL;DR: In the cubic close-packed (ccp) structure twelve neighbors of an atom form a cuboctahedron with six O and eight T voids as discussed by the authors, and the 14-sided polyhedron is formed by As atoms with Ni atoms filling O sites, but...
Strong Brønsted Acidity in Amorphous Silica−Aluminas
Bin Xu,Carsten Sievers,Johannes A. Lercher,J.A. Rob van Veen,Patricia Giltay,Roel Prins,Jeroen A. van Bokhoven +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the activity of the Bronsted acid sites in amorphous silica−aluminas with three different Si/Al ratios was investigated, and the reaction rates increased with increasing aluminum content, but the apparent activation energies were identical.
Differentiating and characterizing geminal silanols in silicas by 29Si NMR spectroscopy
TL;DR: Single and geminal hydroxyl species in silicas have been characterized using solid-state (29)Si NMR spectroscopy, and factors affecting relative areas measured as a function of contact time, relaxation, and surface area are discussed.
The structure of Al(III) in strongly alkaline aluminate solutions — A review
TL;DR: In this article, the identity and abundance of aluminium-bearing species present in pure and homogeneous, strongly alkaline aluminate solutions (often called synthetic Bayer liquors) have been reviewed.
Bases and basic materials in chemical and environmental processes. Liquid versus solid basicity.
TL;DR: The development of more efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly chemical technologies is a major need of humanity today, when a relevant change in perspective is approaching.
