The results of comparative studies of the structure and properties of two-layer filter materials based on finely dispersed nickel powder are presented, in which the substrates were formed using hollow spheres and carbamide as pore-forming agents. The properties of the layers forming the structures of these two-layer materials, as well as the composite biporous material properties consisting of a mixture of hollow spheres of finely dispersed nickel powder and finely dispersed nickel powder are studied. The prospects for using hollow spheres to create two-layer filter materials are shown.

The possibility of using hollow spheres to create highly porous materials (HPM) based on fine powders is shown. In the process of obtaining HPM, fine powder acts as a matrix, hollow spheres are used as a pore-forming agent. At the same time, in the initial state, hollow spheres are formed in the form of bead-shaped polystyrene granules (PSG) with a coated shell of fine aluminum oxide powder, followed by the removal of PSG during sintering. The shell prevents the integration of spherical voids into a single system of large pores, providing high purification fineness. It is confirmed that this technology provides an increase in throughput at a given fineness of purification.
