摘要:
Particles comprising particulate amorphous precipitated silica in association with from 5 to 10 percent by weight sodium sulfate and less than 10 percent by weight water, wherein the percentages are based on the weight of the silica, the sodium sulfate, and the water, which particles have a BET surface area of from 100 to 300 m.sup.2 /g, a total intruded volume from 1.8 to 3.6 cm.sup.3 /g, and a DBP oil absorption of from 180 to 320 cm.sup.3 /100 g, may be employed in microporous battery separators to introduce all or a portion of the desired sodium sulfate to the battery electrolyte. Moreover the enhanced amount of sodium sulfate enhances silica characteristics and battery separator production.
