Synthesis and Investigation of Physicochemical Properties and Mechanical Strength of Natural Aluminosilicate Nanotubes Based Supports for Hydroprocesses Catalysts

Supports based on aluminosilicate halloysite nanotubes and alumina of different contents for hydroprocessing catalysts were synthesized and their textural characteristics and acidic properties were investigated. It was shown that the mechanical strength of the support pellets based on aluminosilicate nanotubes and alumina are comparable or superior to those for industrial analogs.
