摘要:
Carboxylic acids are employed during the preparation of precipitated silica or a suspension of precipitated silica to provide precipitated silicas with low water uptake, which are useful, for example, as reinforcing fillers for silicon matrices.
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for improving the rheological properties of a suspension of precipitated silica by the addition of an aluminum compound, thereby producing a sprayable suspension or slurry with a pH of greater than 3.5, a solids content of at least about 15% by weight, which may be spray dried to form silica in either powder or microbead form. In a preferred embodiment, the aluminum compound added to the suspension is in the form of sodium aluminate.
