The resulting adsorbents were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption. Their acid-base properties were assessed using a pH-metric method and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All of the samples obtained consisted of low-temperature modifications, had a specific surface area above 200 m<sup>2</sup>/g, and were characterized by the presence of small mesopores (2–15 nm). The surface basicity of the alumina samples was found to increase directly with the concentration of introduced sodium, as quantified by the isoionic point pH (pH<sub>iip</sub>).
