Abstract
Procedure for making Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 spheroids, 600 micrometers in diameter or less, utilizes an AlOOH sol containing 0.25% weight percent MgO (in the form of Mg(NO.sub.3).sub.2 .multidot.6H.sub.2 O) and HNO.sub.3. The sol is dispersed into droplets in a particle forming fluid (e.g., 2-ethylhexanol) where gelling occurs.
