Abstract
Abstract A relatively low surface area honeycomb-type ceramic support is impregnated with an alumina sol containing as a soluble plasticizer at least about 5 wt. percent of a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight from about 200 to about 3000. The support is thereafter calcined to form a uniformly thin, high surface area alumina film thereon.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 further characterized in that said refractory support is a ceramic honeycomb structure of cordierite.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 1 further characterized in that said alumina sol is prepared by effecting a reduction in the acid anion concentration of an aqueous solution of a hydrolyzable acid salt of aluminum.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 1 further characterized in that said alumina sol is an aluminum chloride sol prepared by effecting a reduction in the chloride anion concentration of an aqueous solution of aluminum chloride.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The method of claim 1 further characterized in that said alumina sol is an aluminum chloride sol prepared by effecting a reduction in the chloride anion concentration of an aqueous solution of aluminum chloride to provide an aluminum/chloride ratio of from about 1:1 to about 2:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1 further characterized in that said sol contains from about 10 to about 20 wt. percent of said plasticizer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1 further charActerized in that said sol further contains from about 0.05 to about 0.5 wt. percent of a polyoxyethylene alcohol surfactant characterized by an average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 500.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 1 further characterized in that said impregnated support is calcined at a temperature of from about 425* to about 1,100*C.
