With an increase in the temperature of Ru(OH)/sub 4/ treatment from 70 to 800/sup 0/C a decrease is observed in the total pore volume with an increase in their size and a decrease in S/sub tot/ and S/sub cum/. The amorphous products are microporous adsorbents up to 150/sup 0/C. The microporosity is retained in specimens isomorphous with Ru(OH)/sub 4/ up to 450/sup 0/C, at which a transformation of spongy RuO/sub 2/ to a mixture of microcrystallites takes place. Over the range 150-450/sup 0/C mixed structures occur where micro- and mesopores are present simultaneously; the appearance of the latter is associated with the commencement of crystallization processes. Over the range 450-600/sup 0/C pores of only transition dimensions are found in the recrystallized specimens of RuO/sub 2/. Above 650/sup 0/C the RuO/sub 2/ powders acquire the characteristics of microporous materials.
