The effect of hydrothermal treatment temperature (in the range 150-300ยฐC) on the structural parameters of silica gels was investigated. Silica gels with different starting porous structures were used for modification. The specific surface areas of the modified sorbents varied from 830 to 12 m 2 g-1.

โฆ Synopsis
The effect of the duration of hydrothermal treatment (in the range 1-20 h) on the parameters of the pore structure of silica xerogels was investigated. Silica gels with different initial porous structure parameters were used. The specific surface area (S) of the adsorbents changed from 830 to 38 m 2 g-1. A simple mathematical equation describing the dependence of the specific surface area S on the autoclaving treatment time is proposed. The main changes in the geometrical structure of silica gel occur during the first 6 h of treatment. A long-term (over 6 h) hydrothermal treatment can be recommended to improve the homogeneity of the pore structure of silica gels.

Stability, defined as the reproducible behavior of a device upon its storage, is an important issue in pharmaceutical formulation. Silica xerogels obtained through the sol-gel route are relatively new as matrices for the controlled release of drugs. In some cases, it was observed that their behavior
