Abstract: In order to control the coating process in the preparation of alumina ceramic membrane, AlOOH sol was prepared by using aluminum isopropoxide as the raw material and HNO3 as the peptizer. The influence of the amount of HNO3 on the rheological properties of AlOOH sol was studied through rotational rheometer and Zeta potential measurement. The results show that when the molar ratio of HNO3 to aluminum isopropoxide R(n(HNO3):n(Al(C3H7O3)3)) is in the range of 0.3 to 0.6, AlOOH sol exhibits pseudoplastic fluid characteristics. The Herschel-Bulkley model was used to fit the rheological test data. As R increases, the fluid index (n) decreases, while the consistency coefficient (kHB) increases. The storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G″) increase with the increase of R. The intersection of G′ and G″ in the frequency sweep gradually approaches the low frequency with the increase of R. With the increase of R, the pseudoplasticity of AlOOH sol increases, the consistency increases, the elasticity and viscosity both increase, and it is easier to gelation. While R is above 0.7, it has been transformed into a gel, which does not conform to the fluid law. The level of the Zeta potential affects the dispersibility of the AlOOH sol, thereby affects the above phenomenon.
