Abstract:
High potassium zeolite A particles are used to overcome problems of zeolite degassing (and/or undesired gas adsorption/desorption), especially when loaded into organic matrices. The zeolite A particles preferably have a potassium content (measured as K.sub.2 O) of at least about 14 wt. %, more preferably 15-25 wt. %. Compositions containing the high potassium zeolite A in an organic matrix may be especially suitable for use in insulating glass window spacer applications. The high potassium zeolite A may also be used in other conventional desiccant forms.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved catalyst support and to the resultant catalyst suitable for treating exhaust products from internal combustion engines, especially diesel engines. The support of the present invention is a structure comprising alumina core particulate having high porosity and surface area, wherein the structure has from about 1 to about 40 weight percent silica in the form of cladding on the surface area of said alumina core. The resultant support has a normalized sulfur uptake (NSU) of up to 15 μg/m2.
Abstract:
Silica particles and compositions containing silica particles are disclosed. Methods of making silica particles and methods of using silica particles are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A dispersion comprising fine porous inorganic oxide particles, e.g., silica gel particles, wherein the particles have a median particle size below three microns. The dispersed particles have a porosity after drying in which at least about 0.50 cc/g of pore volume is from pores having a pore size of 600 Å or less as determined by nitrogen porosimetry. Embodiments prepared from silica gel have porosity after drying in which at least about 0.7 cc/g of pore volume is from pores having a diameter of 600 Å or smaller. The particles of the dispersion also can be described as having viscosity derived pore volume of at least about 0.5 g/cc. The dispersion is prepared by forming a dispersion from inorganic oxides having sufficient rigid structure to maintain porosity after milling and drying. After the inorganic oxide is selected, it is milled to have a median particle size of 0.05 to about 3 microns. In embodiments in which stable dispersions of fine porous particles are desired without the addition of substantial amounts of dispersant, or if dispersions having a median particle size less than one micron are desired, the dispersion is created by, for example, centrifuging the milled slurry to obtain a settled phase and a supernatant phase in which the median particle size is in the range of 0.05 to about 1 micron. The supernatant phase is then separated from the settled phase to create the final product.
