Preparation of monolithic catalyst support structures having an integrated high surface area phase.

摘要

A method of forming a monolithic ceramic catalyst support having a high surface area phase of porous oxide embedded within the monolith structure is provided. The porous oxide phase is incorporated into a sinterable ceramic structure as a discrete discontinuous phase. The high surface area necessary for effective catalyst support is thereby provided within the ceramic structure, which is sintered to provide appreciable density and strength.
