| 4324838 | Dry powder compositions of vermiculite lamellae and additives A free-flowing, dry powder composition comprising vermiculite lamellae (delaminated vermiculite); preferably the composition contains a solid particulate additive such as magnesium oxide.... | 04/13/1982 |
| 4277456 | Mineral substance based on a reversibly swellable tri-laminar mineral developed to be crystalline over a large area and having crystal layers separated from one another A fine-grain crystalline mineral selected from the group consisting of vermiculite and hydro-mica is contacted with water to swell the fine grain mineral and the swollen mineral is thereafter comminuted under conditions preserving its crystalline structur... | 07/07/1981 |
| 4266978 | Synthesis of mixed oxide composition A non-aqueous gel of at least two metal oxides which is a precursor for glassy amorphous or crystalline mixed oxides is produced by reacting an alkoxide of one metal and a halide of another metal producing a low molecular weight polymeric reaction product... | 05/12/1981 |
| 4248739 | Stabilized pillared interlayered clays Stable pillared interlayered clays are prepared by reacting smectite clays with high molecular weight cationic metal complexes of metals such as aluminum and zirconium. The high molecular weight complexes are prepared by hydrolysis of copolymerization of ... | 02/03/1981 |
| 4235855 | Method for producing high strength low expansion cordierite bodies Synthetic cordierite (2MgO.2Al2 O3.5SiO.sub.2) ceramic bodies exhibiting high strength and low thermal expansion are produced by (1) pelletizing talc, clay and alumina in a ratio to yield a nearly stoichiometric composition, (2) sint... | 11/25/1980 |
| 4234380 | Polymeric silicate material and a method of manufacturing the same A polymeric silicate material having a substantially fibre- or flake-like microstructure is manufactured from a starting material comprising mainly natural or synthetic silicate mineral e.g., Olivine and/or Granate (garnet), having a hardness exceeding th... | 11/18/1980 |
| 4216188 | Cross-linked montmorillonite molecular sieves Novel molecular sieves, being montmorillonites cross-linked with aluminum hydroxide or with chromium hydroxide and a process for the production of same comprising interaction between montmorillonite, in the form of a colloidal solution containing fully se... | 08/05/1980 |
| 4176090 | Pillared interlayered clay materials useful as catalysts and sorbents Stable pillared interlayered clay compositions are prepared by reacting smectite type clays with polymeric cationic hydroxy metal complexes of metals such as aluminum, zirconium, and/or titanium. These novel interlayered clay compositions which possess su... | 11/27/1979 |
