Abstract:
The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for converting metal nitrate or mixed metal nitrate solutions into the corresponding metal oxides in a microwave field. The invention consists in heating, while the feed stream is being metered in, in such a manner that the solvent always evaporates within seconds and the decomposition product is obtained as a porous, sponge-like, purely oxidic material, which can be ground easily to give a powder having particle sizes of 0.5 to about 10 .mu.m. The controlled metering in of the nitrate solution simultaneously makes it possible to control the reaction temperature below the sintering temperature of the powder. The reaction of the nitrate starting solution can take place continuously/batchwise in a reaction flask or continuously in a rotating reaction pipe, which is preferably charged with grinding balls, which possibly exert a reaction-activating effect similar to that exerted very particularly by the metal oxide sponge formed during the reaction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a platelet-shaped pigment having high luster and high covering power or high transparency, consisting of a transparent, inorganic, platelet-shaped matrix which can contain an additional constituent, characterized in that the additional constituent is a soluble or insoluble colorant and in that the matrix is coated at least on one side with one or more thin, transparent or semi-transparent reflective layers of metal oxides or metals to achieve the luster.
Abstract:
Multilayer interference pigment consisting of plateletlike titanium dioxide as carrier material, coated with alternating layers of metal oxides of low and high refractive index, the difference in the refractive indices being at least 0.1, which is obtainable by solidification and hydrolysis of an aqueous solution of a thermally hydrolysable titanium compound on a continuous belt, detachment of the resulting coat, coating of the resulting titanium dioxide platelets, with or without drying in between, by a wet method with, alternately, a metal oxide hydrate of high refractive index and a metal oxide hydrate of low refractive index by hydrolysis of the corresponding, water-soluble metal compounds, separation, drying and, if desired, calcining of the material obtained.
Abstract:
Plateletlike, substrate-free titanium dioxide pigment obtainable by solidifying an aqueous solution of a thermally hydrolyzable titanium compound on a continuous belt, detaching the resulting layer, coating the resulting titanium dioxide platelets, with or without drying in between, with further titanium dioxide by a wet method, and separating off, drying and calcining the material obtained.
Abstract:
A light-stable cosmetic composition for protection from UV rays having a wavelength of between 280 and 400 nm, which contains at least one tetraalkylquercetin in a cosmetically acceptable oil-based medium, and new tetraalkylquercetins.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a resorptive bone ceramic on the basis of tricalcium phosphate which can be used as a bone replacement material. In the process, natural bone material, freed from the soft tissues, is used as the starting material. The remaining organic substances are removed from this starting material by pyrolysis. The remaining bone material, which consists virtually completely of hydroxyapatite, is subsequently treated with a phosphate carrier and then subjected to a sintering step.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process and a device for obtaining pure oxygen using a gastight membrane which can conduct both electrons and oxygen ions.
