Abstract
Main features of the formation of porous composites by hydrothermal tr eatment of powdered aluminium were studied by scanning electron micros copy, TEM, XPD, IR spectroscopy of lattice modes, and thermal analysis . Hydrothermal oxidation of aluminium was shown to proceed via generat ion and subsequent oriented growth of well-crystallized boehmite plate lets, whose subsequent dehydration yields gamma-alumina. Relation betw een the degree of the metal oxidation and specific surface area /crush ing strength of the composites was analyzed.
