Abstract

Methods of preparation and main directions of application of carriers of heterogeneous catalysts based on aluminum oxide are considered. Some aspects of the use of highly porous ceramic materials based on oxide fibers are shown, revealing the prospects of using this class of material as carriers of catalysts and catalytically active substances. The high efficiency of using catalysts on carriers made of such materials in promising processes for producing synthesis gas from oxygen and carbon dioxide conversions of methane is shown.
