Abstract: The relationship between the surface acidic and microstructure of gamma-alumina support were studied on three industrial alumina based on the characterizations by XRD,NMR,TEM and pyridine-FTIR. The results show that there are three crystal planes on the surface of alumina: (110),(100) and (111) planes, and the ratio of the three main planes were different on the alumina supports. The ratios of crystal planes (110),(100),(111) on sample alumina-1 ,alumina-2 and alumina-3 are 68%,19%,26%,and 63%,19%,18%,and 59%,19%,22%,respectively. The sample alumina-1 with higher ratio of (110) plane possesses more medium-strong and strong acidity; while the samples alumina-2 and alumina-3 with higher ratio of (100) plane possess more weak acidity.
