Aluminum alkoxide, Al(OC₃H₇ⁱ)₃ and Al(OC₄H₉^s)₃, were synthesized using aluminum sheet and corresponding alcohols to prepare various phase alumina in high purity. Aluminum hydroxides were prepared by hydrolysis of synthesized Al-alkoxides and from reagent AlCl3. The catalytic properties of γ and η-Al2O3 prepared at various temperatures were investigated and the reaction kinetics of α-Al2O3 formation from Al(OH)3 was considered.
