Sintered or compacted inorganic porous body and use therof as a filter

摘要

An inorganic, porous, sintered or compacted body comprising inorganic particles in the form of polyhedral crystals having intercommunicating pores between the inorganic particles, wherein said pores have a pore size distribution such that the ratio of D10 to D90 is not more than 3 and D50 is 0.01-5 mu m, D10, D50 and D90 being pore sizes at 10%, 50% and 90% cumulation from the largest pore size of the cumulative pore volume distribution, respectively, and wherein the porosity is 10-50%, may be used as a filter.
