Abstract
A packing member for use in a packed bed, preferably a support for use as a catalyst support in a packed bed reactor. The packing member includes ceramic material and has a geometric surface area per volume of ≥0.7 cm2/cm3 and a side crush strength of ≥250 kgf; or a geometric surface area per volume of ≥1.5 cm2/cm3 and a side crush strength of ≥150 kgf; or a geometric surface area per volume of ≥3 cm2/cm3 and a side crush strength of ≥60 kgf. The packing member optionally has a porosity of at least 6%, such as at least 15% or at least 20%.
