Mesoporous Alumina has three fourths pores in total volume compared to same weight normal Alumina block.

Features- Fine pore from some nm to 1x nm in diameter,making it possible to capture and support fine substances.

- Controllability of pore diameter and size,leading to low density due to a lot of pores and high

surface areaex. pore volume: 1.1 cc/g; surface area: 265m2/g
