ALUMINUM SORBENTS AND SUPPORTS FROM GIBBS ITE

There is presented a technological concept of the energy saving and lo w waste method of aluminum hydroxides and oxides production from techn ical gibbsite being used as sorbents and catalysts supports. Proposed method should provide high purity products of appropriate phase compos ition and texture as well as of high mechanical strength. Thermal stab ility of supports can be improved by addition of alkaline, rare earth or zirconium oxides.
