Abstract:
A method for forming a complex shaped controlled porosity adsorbent material comprises adding a powdered material such as activated carbon to a partially cured phenolic resin powder forming the mixture into a dough, shaping the dough to obtain a shaped solid product and sintering the shaped solid so as to produce a form-stable sintered product.
Abstract:
A body (5) of set, initially pasty material, such as concrete, includes an electrically conducting path formed by a concentrated layer (6) of electrically conducting magnetizable elements, such as fibers (F) or granules (G), embedded in the initially pasty material and extending through at least a portion of the body (5). Electrically conducting terminal members (9) may be connected to the electrically conducting layer (6) at spaced-apart positions along the layer (6). A method of providing such a body (5) includes the steps of: (a) forming a body of the pasty material in which electrically conducting magnetizable elements (F) are dispersed, (b) applying a magnetic field to the body of pasty material to form from the magnetizable elements an electrically conducting layer embedded in the body of pasty material and extending at least through a portion the body (5), and (c) causing the body of pasty material containing the layer (6) to set. Before or after the setting of the body (5) of pasty material, electrically conducting terminal members (9), may be connected to the electrically conducting layer (6) at spaced-apart positions along the layer.

Abstract:
A protective and decorative coating composition including semiconductor particulate colorants which in combination with a resinous composition produce a desired color. The colorants are semiconductor particles which exhibit sized-quantized absorption of visible light and have a particle size of up to about 12 nm.
Abstract:
The invention describes a filter device having filter elements (2 through 6; 12 through 20; 22 through 25) made of ceramic material which are combined into at least one filter element group (1, 11, 21) in which the filter elements (2 through 6, 12 through 20; 22 through 25) lie side by side next to one another and can be flowed through in parallel, which is characterized in that only some of the filter elements (2, 12, 22, 23) of each filter element group (1, 11, 21) have electrical terminals for connection with an electrical energy source, and at least that/those filter element(s) (2, 12, 22, 23) is/are made of electrically conductive ceramic material.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a process for forming a deposit on the surface of a metallic or conductive surface. The process employs an electroless process to deposit a silicate containing coating or film upon a metallic or conductive surface.
Abstract:
