The coated pigment is prepared by adding a rare earth metal salt solution to a suspension of bismuth oxychloride pigment crystals to form a further suspension containing the pigment crystals and cerium hydroxide. The cerium hydroxide is then precipitated out of the further suspension to coat the pigment crystals. The coated pigment is endowed with improved weather fastness.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1992Date of Patent: September 22, 1992Assignee: Mearl CorporationInventors: Robert E. Eberts, Robert M. Juby, II, Michael T. Venturini, II

Patent number: 5147458Abstract: A low brightness pigment and method is provided from a heretofore rejected waste kaolin stream. Kaolin processing rejects are high in iron-stained TiO.sub.2. After separating the stained TiO.sub.2 from the high brightness kaolin and concentrating the resulting fraction, the material can be processed to produce a low brightness pigment suitable of many applications where lower brightness is desirable, such as coating paper board without mottling.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1991Date of Patent: September 15, 1992Assignee: J. M. Huber CorporationInventors: Bobby R. Skipper, Robert E. Hardy, Albert C. Kunkle

Patent number: 5137574Abstract: A method of producing a high opacifying kaolin pigment by separating from one or more iron-stained titania-containing crude kaolins having a titania content of from about 1 to 2 weight percent, one or more titania-enriched kaolin fractions which contain the titania in an amount of above 2 weight percent; subjecting the fraction(s) to media grinding; dewatering and drying the media ground fraction(s); blending the fraction(s) with a fine particle size unground kaolin having a titania content less than 2%, in proportions to provide a calciner feed having at least 2% titania; and calcining the feed at a temperature in the range of 1500.degree. to 2200.degree. F.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1990Date of Patent: August 11, 1992Assignee: ECC America Inc.Inventors: Paul Suitch, Ralph E. Turner, Jr., Dona L. Archer, William B. Smith

Patent number: 5120690Abstract: For a complete utilization of used DeNOx catalysts contaminated with fly ash, the catalyst is crushed to a particle size of usually less than 500 microns, admixed with the ash of a molten ash firing chamber of a coal power plant at weight ratio of usually at least 9 parts molten ash to 1 part catalyst where the catalyst is dissolved in the molten ash at a temperature generally above 1460.degree. C. The resulting molten ash chamber granulated material can be utilized in the usual way, for example in the construction industry, since no pollutants, especially no compounds of tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium and arsenic are eluted into the environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 1991Date of Patent: June 9, 1992Assignee: Huels AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jurgen Jung, Helmut Kretschmer, Rolf Muller
