Abstract

An alumina comprising particles which are aggregates or agglomerates of primary particles in which the internal porosity is provided by micropores of predetermined average width within the range 4 to 20 Angstroms and in which the pore width over the majority of the pores is within 1 Angstrom of the predetermined value, and a method for producing such an alumina by heating a particulate hydrous alumina to dehydrate it under an atmosphere in which the partial pressure of water vapor is maintained essentially constant at a predetermined value.
