Hydrocarbonaceous radicals

In the gas phase, atomic hydrogen is necessary to initiate the gas phase chemical kinetics for production of the reactive hydrocarbonaceous radicals required for carbon deposition by the following reactions. 

It was supposed, that molecules of alcohol with relatively long hydrocarbonaceous radicals and one functional OH-group would be adsorbed on an oxyhydroxides surface and in result of its hydrophobization reduced forces of capillary tension at removal of a dispersion medium. 

The formation of surface ethers essentially changes the mechanism of formation of oxyhydroxides at their heat treatment. Arising at high-temperature processing the surface zirconium ethers prevent from formation of bonding between particles of oxyhydroxides, and at their approach to each other there is a steric repulsion of surface hydrocarbonaceous radicals. 

Thus, varying time, temperature and the kind of a hydrocarbonaceous alcohol radical, it is possible to controlled by terminating disperse structure of obtained zirconium oxides.
