ARTICLES COMPRISING TETRAGONAL ZIRCONIA AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Described is a porous ceramic body comprising zirconia having mesopores incorporated therein and the primary crystalline phase is tetragonal. When used as a carrier for a catalyst, the porous ceramic body has excellent crush resistance and a large total pore volume which results in an increase in the carrier's surface area onto which catalytic material may be deposited. Methods of making the carrier are also disclosed.
