Abstract
A catalyst carrier high in strength and suitable for use in internal combustion engines is produced by transforming a boehmite into .gamma.-alumina at a high temperature, transforming the .gamma.-alumina into .alpha.-alumina at a high temperature and sintering the .alpha.-alumina, boehmite having been prepared by forming a large number of agglomerates of adequate size from powdered aluminum hydroxide (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.3H.sub.2 O) and contacting the agglomerates with water vapor at a high temperature and a high pressure to transform the aluminum hydroxide into boehmite.
