ABSTRACTA new method for preparation of porous mixed oxide with SiO2 -ZrO2 -Na2O composition was investigated by heating the sol-gel derived SiO2 microsphere gel in the presence of ZrOCl2 and NaCI. Surface of the -products was composed of sponge-like structure, similar to the porous glasses manufactured by the phase separation method. Their pore volumes ranged from 1.0 to 1.5 cc/g(pore radius 100–lO00Å) and their pore distributions were sharp, with peak tops of about 450–600Å in radius.
