Mesoporous and large surface area zirconium oxide aggregate granules with good adsorption properties were synthesized using a simple precipitation method. Since utilization of these small and fragile particles is considered rather difficult in larger scale column operation, the product was formed into a fibrous form to improve its usability. The submicron fibers were obtained from an optimized electroblowing synthesis that resulted in elastic and uniform fibers with a tetragonal structure and hi
