Self-assembled gamma-Al2O3 with hierarchical structure was successfully obtained via thermolysis of gamma-boehmite (gamma-AlOOH) particles, which was hydrothermally derived from aluminum ammonium sulfate hydrate (NH4Al(SO4)(2)center dot 12H(2)O), urea, poly-glycol (PEG)-2000, and deionized water. SEM observations indicate that the as-synthesized gamma-AlOOH has hierarchical flower-like structure, composing of needle-like building blocks. After calcinations at 800 degrees C, it converts to cubic gamma-Al2O3 with hierarchical structure retained by a topotactical process. N-2 adsorption and desorption reveal that the obtained gamma-Al2O3 has a BET surface area of 101 m(2)/g with a narrow mesoporous size of about 13 nm and a broad macroporous-size distributions of 200-500 nm, respectively. The as-generated gamma-Al2O3 with hierarchical structure shows good capacities for removing Congo red from wastewater, indicating that 3D hierarchical structure has excellent adsorption ability.
