Patent number: 5589150Abstract: In the present invention, minute spherular silica gel particles suitable as polymer catalyst carriers can easily be obtained without using organic substances simply by controlling the moisture content in a slurry of silica hydrogel particles and water. The obtained spherular silica gel particles have physical properties, such as specific surface area, average pore diameter, and pore volume, that may be easily controlled. The spherular silica gel particles also have sufficient particle strength.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1992Date of Patent: December 31, 1996Assignee: Fuji-Davison Chemical Ltd.Inventors: Jiro Kano, Ryuji Orii, Yuzo Horinouchi, Mutsuhiro Ito

Patent number: 5380510Abstract: This invention provides a method for manufacturing silica gels in a form of scales or needles having a pore volume and a specific surface area being relatively large and being controlled. Silicic acid sol is frozen, crystallized and deposited in gaps among crystal faces of crystals of solvent of the sol, thus obtaining the frozen silica hydrogels in the form of scales or needles. After unfreezing the frozen silica hydrogels, a hydrothermal polymerization is carried out. Subsequently, the silica hydrogels are dried, thus obtaining the silica gels in the form of scales or needles. Furthermore in the invention, by controlling the gelation time period of silica sol, the silica gels with their configuration controlled can result from even inexpensive silica sol. The invention has the advantage that a freeze-drying step is not required: just through freezing, unfreezing, washing and hydrothermal polymerization steps, the physical properties of the silica gels can be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1993Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Assignee: Fuji-Davison Chemical Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Matsui, Nobuki Watanabe, Masayuki Arimura, Eiji Kanemaru, Yuzo Horinouchi, Mutsuhiro Ito

Patent number: 5192545Abstract: Specific inorganic silica gels are used as an adsorbent drying agent for controlling insect pests in a structure. When it is too humid in the structure, the silica gels adsorb moisture. On the other hand, when it is too dry in the structure, the silica gels supply moisture. The silica gels thus create the environment where household insect pests cannot survive. Moreover, by exposing invading insect pests to silica-gel particles, the pests' tissues are physiologically decayed, and the population density of the insect pests is decreased. Insect pests in the structure can be thus controlled using the silica gels.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1991Date of Patent: March 9, 1993Assignee: Fuji-Davison Chemical Ltd.Inventor: Yoshito Nakashima

Patent number: 5109716Abstract: The actual flow rate of gas to the solid-sample container or to the gas reservoir can be precisely obtained according to variances in the pressure of the gas reservoir without directly adjusting the flow rate precisely. The volume of gas not adsorbed in the sample container can be obtained from the pressure in the sample container. The adsorption can easily be determined from the difference between the flow rate of gas and the volume of gas not adsorbed in the sample container. Even if the flow rate fluctuates, the adsorption can precisely be obtained. The desorption can easily be obtained in the same way. Gas is exhausted from the gas reservoir in advance. When desorbed gas in the sample container is continuously exhausted to the gas reservoir, the pressure in the gas reservoir is measured.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1990Date of Patent: May 5, 1992Assignee: Fuji-Davison Chemical Ltd.Inventors: Mutsuhiro Ito, Toshiyasu Abe, Ryuji Orii, Tomio Yamakoshi
