    Abstract

    The kinetics of sintering of Aerosil silica catalyst supports have been measured at temperatures of 500, 700 and 900°C. Silica supports are relatively stable up to 700°C with substantial sintering occuring at 900°C. The addition of ca 1 wt% MgO stabilises the system at high temperatures that might be encountered when decoking of metal catalysts supported on silica is carried out.
