Spherical composite granules of 3–5 mm in size that would not cause a large Received in revised form 18 December 2010 pressure drop in a packed bed were obtained. SEM images showed that the FAC particles were embedded in Accepted 11 February 2011 holes of about 10 μm in the PVA granules, while the surface pores of the granules were only nano-scale in size. Available online 18 February 2011 Thermal analysis showed that the FAC and PVA in the granules combined tightly by forming a chemical bond. The mechanical stability of the granules decreased with increased FAC conc
