Produto de meixnerita sintética e método

摘要

There is disclosed an improved method for making synthetic meixnerite having reduced carbonate contamination levels and a x-ray diffraction pattern resembling that shown in FIG. 1, the meixnerite is made by combining magnesium oxide and transition alumina, preferably an activated alumina powder having a BET surface area of about 100 m2/g or greater, in a substantially carbonate-free environment.
