A study has been made of the changes in texture of pseudoboehmite aluminum hydroxides during the stages of peptization and coagulation in liquid forming of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ granules. Precipitates obtained at 291-310 K, with the morphology of freshly precipitated pseudoboehmite and with primarily coagulation-type bonds, are readily deaggregated by acid; therefore, it is possible after coagulation, to obtain granules with a uniform pore structure and high strength. With precipitation temperatures of 368-375 K and the formation of crystallization contacts in the hydroxides, treatment with acid does not result in deaggregation. By varying the ratio of the first and second types of precipitate, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ granules with predetermined structural and mechanical characteristics can be obtained, suitable for supports of exhaustive oxidation catalysts that are used in catalytic heat generators.
