Abstract
This paper deals with the hydrothermal modification of the physicochemical properties of complex mineral sorbents and catalysts. The hydrothermal modification of alumina, magnesia, ferric oxide and zirconia/silica hydro- and xero-gels as well as other complex adsorbents obtained by the coprecipitation and mechanical stirring of suitable components is discussed.
The paper deals with the following topics: (a) the physicochemical bases of the hydrothermal method; (b) methodological and technological problems of the hydrothermal treatment of adsorbents; (c) hydrothermal modification of porous structure parameters (specific surface area, pore volume and size); and (d) characteristics of the hydrothermal modification of the porous structure of multicomponent adsorbents and catalysts.
In addition, the mechanism of the hydrothermal modification of the porous structure of composite materials is discussed.
