Ceramic microbead derived monolithic adsorbents (MAds), consisting of Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 , are prepared and subsequently sintered rapidly (<5 min) in a tube furnace. By applying rapid sintering, an approximately 60‐fold decrease is observed in the total sintering time required for the ceramics. The obtained materials exhibit a high specific surface area, which is up to 68% higher compared to conventionally sintered samples, leading to a quicker adsorption of molecules.
