| abstract |
A catalyst support having both substantial high strength and high surface area can be produced by heating a shaped mixture of a porous oxide having a surface area of at least 20 m 2 /g and the precursor of an inorganic binder for the porous oxide and a temporary binder. The precursors of the permanent inorganic binders are precursors of alumina, silica, or titania, and are capable of imparting substantial strength to the support at relatively low firing temperatures. |
