Abstract:
Olefin polymerization catalysts, formed of a silica produced employing lithium silicate, produce ethylene polymers of higher melt index than are obtained when sodium silicate is employed.
Abstract:
A method of producing a xerogel which involves passing a solvent in which water is soluble through a hydrogel under conditions to remove water from the hydrogel and to form a xerogel.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a wide-pore adsorbent for chromatography comprising preparing a suspension of a fine disperse non-porous silica having a specific surface area S of from 30 to 380 m2/g. while modifying the silica surface. At this stage of the suspension preparation water is employed as a dispersion medium, while as a modifying component use is made of an alkali, a salt of an alkali or alkali-earth metal, or carbon black, or an organic solvent is employed as a liquid dispersion medium, while as a modifying component use is made of polyphenyldisiloxane or a polycondensation product of phenolphthalein and phthalic acid. Said suspension is subjected to drying at a temperature of from 15 to 200*C. The resulting silica xerogel is ground. The process according to the present invention makes it possbile to vary, within broad limits; adsorptive and chromatographic properties of the adsorbent being produced and to regulate, over a wide range, its selectivity. This, in turn, enables the use of the adsorbent for seperating mixtures of organic compounds of different classes.
Abstract:
AN AQUEOUS SUSPENSION OF A ZEOLITE, WHICH HAS HAD ITS ALKALI METAL CONTENT REDUCED BY AT LEAST ONE ION EXCHANGE REACTION AND HAS THEN BEEN THERMALLY METAL SILICATE COMBINED WITH AN AQUEOUS ALKALINE ALKALI METAL SILICATE SOLUTION, AND SILICON DIOXIDE IS GELLED FROM THE ZEOLITE CONTAINING SOLUTION BY THE ADDITION OF MINERAL ACID, PREFERABLY TO THE SILICATE SOLUTION IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE COMBINING OF THE LATTER WITH THE ZEOLITE SUSPENSION. THE RESULTING ZEOLITE-CONTAINING GEL IS COMBINED WITH A SOLUTION OR SOLUTIONS OF AT LEAST ONE COMPOUND OF A METAL FROM GROUPS II-A, III-A AND IV-A OF THE PERIODIC TABLE, AND THEN HYDROLYZED, WHEREUPON THE ZEOLITE CONTAINING PRECIPATE IS WASHED AND DRIED TO PROVIDE A CATALYST CONTAINIMG A CRYSTALLINE ALUMINOSILICATE ZEOLITE, SILICON DIOXIDE AND AN OXIDE OF AT LEAST ONE METAL FROM THE MENTIONED GROUPS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE.
Abstract:
A process for catalyst materials in extrudate form and at increased density by use of a mix mulling technique is disclosed wherein a high molecular weight, organic, water-soluble polymer is incorporated into the mix and results in increased density in the final formed catalyst at mulling times of 0-150 minutes.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a silica-containing composition in which a hydrogel is formed and washed, and the water is separated from the hydrogel employing an organic compound and azeotropic distillation. Procedures for controlling the hydrogel washing and azeotropic distillation are disclosed.
Abstract:
IN THE PREPARATION OF CATALYSTS CONTAINING CRYSTALLINE ALUMINOSILICATE ZEOLITES, A ZEOLITE IS INTRODUCED INTO A SILICON DIOXIDE SO AND/OR GEL, AND/OR INTO A SEPARATELY PREPARED CO-GEL OF SILICON DIOXIDE AND AN OXIDE AND AN OXIDE OF AT LEAST ONE METAL FROM GROUPS III-A AND IV-A OF THE PERIODIC TABLE, SUCH AS ALUMINUM OXIDE, AND THE CO-GEL, WHICH MAY BE WET OR DRIED, IS MIXED WITH THE SILICON DIOXIDE SOL AND/OR GEL PRIOR TO THE DRYING OF THE LATTER, WHEREUPON THE RESULTING COMPOSITION IS GELLED, IF NOT ALREADY FULLY GELLED, AND THEN DRIED AND ACTIVATED.
Abstract:
A CRYSTALLINE ALUMINOSILICATE IS PREPARED DISPERSED IN A SILICA MATRIX. THE CRYSTALLINE ALUMINOSILICATE-MOTHER LIQUOR SLURRY IS ADMIXED WITH AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A SALT OF A STRONG ACID TO PRECIPITATE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE RESIDUAL ALKALI METAL SILICATE CONTAINED THEREIN AS SILICA.
Abstract:
A CATALYTIC COMPOSITE COMPRISING A FAUJASITE DISPERSED IN AN AMORPHOUS SILICA MATRIX. THE CATALYST IS MANUFACTURED BY ADDING THE FAUFASITE TOGETHER WITH THE MOTHER LIQUOR FROM WHICH IT WAS PRECIPITATED TO A SILICA SOL AND THEN EFFECTING GELATION.
