Usage

Description

Aluminium isopropoxide is usually described with the formula Al(O-i-Pr)3, where i-Pr is the isopropyl group (CH(CH3)2). This colourless solid is a useful reagent in organic synthesis. The structure of this compound is complex, possibly time dependent, and may depend on the solvent. It is primarily used in the oil and gas industry in combination with phosphate esters to form an anionic association polymer in which the aluminium as the cross-linking agent. Such gelling agents are used as fluid loss control additives in drilling operations.

Chemical Properties

Aluminum isopropoxide on the market is mostly white translucent block, cylindrical small block solid or powder, soluble in isopropanol, ethanol, toluene, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and other organic solvents (easy to dissolve when heated to 70 °C), decomposed when it meets water, has strong water absorption, and is easily decomposed into aluminum hydroxide and isopropanol.)

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 555-31-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Meerwein-Ponndorf reactions; alcoholysis and ester exchange; synthesis of higher alkoxides, chelates, and acylates; formation of aluminum soaps, formulation of paints; waterproofing finishes for textiles.
2. It is used in a number of organic syntheticreactions and in the manufacture of manytypes of products, including aluminum soaps,paints, and waterproofing finishes.
3. Alkyl phosphate esters in conjunction with aluminium isopropoxide have been used as fluid loss additives in drilling fluid compositions. It is important for drilling fluids to efficiently and quickly form a filter cake to minimise fluid loss and allow flow of fluids into the wellbore during production. In the alkyl phosphate ester case, it is cross‐linked with the aluminium compound to form a complex anionic polymer, which acts as a gelling agent to prevent fluid loss.

Preparation

Aluminum isopropoxide is synthesized by the reaction of isopropanol and aluminum under the catalysis of alumina. Raw material consumption quota: isopropyl alcohol 1255kg/t, aluminum 166kg/t.

Fire Hazard

The flash point of this compound is 26°C (79°F) (Bretzinger and Josten). It is less flammable than the sec- and tert-alkoxides of alkali metals. Ignition may occur when this compound is heated in moist air.It decomposes in water. The reaction is exothermic, producing isopropanol. It may decompose when heated to 250°C (482°F), producing highly flammable isopropyl ether.

Purification Methods

Redistil it under vacuum. Hygroscopic. [Robinson & Peak J Phys Chem 39 1127 1935, Beilstein 1 IV 1468.]

On the interaction of tetraethoxosilane with metal alkoxides: Sol-gel synthesis of alkaline-earth metal silicates

Physicochemical analyses (solubility method, conductometry, and IR spectroscopy) revealed no complex formation in M(OR)n-Si(OR) 4-ROH systems (M = Na, Ba, Al; R = Et, Pri), unlike in the systems containing alkoxides of two

The state of Al(III) in alcohol solutions of aluminum alkoxide as probed by 27Al and 13C NMR and small-angle X-ray scattering

Solutions of aluminum alkoxides obtained by interaction of aluminum metal with methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl alcohols were studied by 27Al and 13C NMR and small-angle X-ray scattering. Alkoxides with a tetrahedral environment of aluminum prevail in methanol solutions, and those with an octahedral environment of aluminum predominate in ethanol solutions. In isopropyl alcohol at 293 K, polynuclear alkoxides with tetrahedral, octahedral, and pentacoordinated aluminum environments coexist. The structure of polynuclear complexes was refined by comparison of their calculated dimensions with small-angle X-ray scattering data.

A Co-Precipitated α-Alumina (Al2O3) used as a TL-Micro Dosimeter

This study describes the preparation method of alumina (Al2O3) as a type of thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) to monitor gamma photons (γ-rays) in abroad band of radioactive doses (0.5 : 2000 Gy). Alumina is selected in this study because it has a relatively low cost TL material and can be easily prepared. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) was chemically prepared using two different methods which are the Sol-Gel and Co-precipitation methods. For each method, the produced alumina (Al2O3) was divided into 4 groups which was thermally treated at (400, 600, 800, 1100 °C) respectively for 6 hours for each group. The crystalline features, morphology and sample composition of the prepared samples were chemically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX). Al2O3 prepared by the Co-precipitation method which was treated at 1100 °C (P4) was found to exhibit the highest gamma ray response compared to other samples. The deconvolution analysis showed that the main TL glow curve consisted of (5) overlapped peaks corresponding to number of traps. The linearity of the gamma response for this sample appeared in doses ranging from 1 Gy up to 200 Gy. The minimum detectable dose that can be detected by precipitated-alumina sample (P1) was calculated mathematically to be 3.653 mGy. The fading was found to be 45.6 % after being stored for 45 days at room temperature and approximately 65 % after 90 days. This sample was reproducible according to the repeated TL results for the same sample for 5 times as their values were very close from one other with standard deviation (±σ) 0.96 %. Henceforth, Co-precipitated α-alumina can be used as a TL-Micro dosimeter.
