Claims11
A process for preparing a porous ceramic body comprising the steps of:
- 1) preparing an aqueous slurry of a ceramic material;
- 2) mixing the slurry with a liquid, viscous organic phase to obtain a dough, wherein the organic phase is substantially insoluble in water, and is thermally decomposable into gaseous residues;
- 3) drying the dough;
- and
- 4) removing the organic phase by thermal decomposition.
