Abstract
A process for preparing silico-alumina beads containing silica and at least an equal amount of alumina comprising dispersing as droplets into a hot and practically water-immiscible fluid, an aqueous mixture which comprises alumina hydrogel, alumina hydrosol as alumina precursors, an alkali silicate and silica gel as silica precursors, the amount of alkali silicate, based on SiO.sub.2, not exceeding 20% of the total weight of SiO.sub.2 and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and the total amount of alkali silica and silica gel, based on SiO.sub.2, not exceeding 50% of the total weight of SiO.sub.2 and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and at least a water-soluble monomer whose uncross-linked polymer is water-soluble or forms a gel, and maintaining the droplets of the aqueous mixture in the hot fluid until substantial polymerization of said monomer occurs.
