Abstract: A method for producing nano-silicon, involves (a) conducting a reduction treatment on an aluminosilicate, in which a content of Al2O3 is 3 to 40% by mass. A ratio between the number of atoms of aluminum contained in the aluminosilicate and the number of atoms of magnesium used as a reducing agent in the reduction treatment is within a range of 1:3.5 to 1:65. The method then involves (b) conducting acid treatment on a reduced aluminosilicate obtained from (a).

Abstract: An antistatic inorganic filler comprises an inorganic filler, an organic dispersant applied onto the surface of the inorganic filler and an organic antistatic agent applied onto the organic dispersant layer. The inorganic filler may be prepared by a method comprising the steps of wet-grinding an inorganic filler in the presence of an organic dispersant, drying the ground inorganic filler and then mixing it with an organic antistatic agent; or a method comprising the steps of wet-grinding an inorganic filler in the presence of an organic dispersant, adding an organic antistatic agent to the resulting slurry of the ground filler and then drying the mixture. The inorganic filler shows an effect of imparting long-lasting antistatic properties to plastic and rubber materials in addition to the effects as the filler such as excellent rigidity, heat resistance and impact resistance.

Abstract: Concrete characterized by containing aqueous slurry of ground calcium carbonate which has a mean particle diameter of 0.5-3 micrometers produced by wet pulverization of the limestone. By adding fine powder of ground calcium carbonate, fluidity of the concrete is increased and workability thereof is improved.

Abstract: There is provide an improved pulverulent body processing apparatus that is substantially free from abrasion and cleavage of the pulverizing medium to allow prolonged continuous operation and also free from small pieces of the slit member and the pulverizing medium that can be produced as a result of such abrasion and cleavage and mixed with the material being pulverized and hence can efficiently operate to produce an evenly pulverized product.

Abstract: An ultrafine grinding mill in which fed material flows down through an agitated bed composed of small grinding medium characterized in that the ultrafine grinding mill comprises a vertically arranged cylindrical housing, a net member having a mesh size preventing the grinding medium from passing therethrough and arranged at the bottom of the cylindrical housing, a rotary shaft arranged on a central axis of the cylindrical housing, and agitating blades mounted at several stages on the rotary shaft, and in that both a gap between the tip of each agitating blade and the inner surface of the cylindrical housing and a gap between the agitating blade of the lowermost stage and the net member are not more than 2/3 the diameter of the grinding medium at room temperature.
