  • Patent number: 6696033
    Abstract: The invention concerns a microporous crystalline material, with a characteristic X-ray diffractogram, made up by oxygen tetrahedra and one metal (T+4 and T+3) with the possibility of introducing surface acidity produced by the substitution in the network of some T+4 cations (normally Si+4) by T+3 cations (normally Al+3), which gives rise to a structural charge deficiency which can be offset by protons, Brönsted acidity, and/or cations with a high charge-radium ratio, Lewis acidity. The method of preparation is based on the modification of the laminar structure of a mixed oxide (normally SiO2, Al2O3) synthesized from a gel treated under controlled hydrothermal conditions, intercalating organic molecules with a proton-acceptor group and a long hydrocarbonic chain between its laminae. The intercalated material has laminae with a significant separation between them due to the presence between them of the organic chains.

  • Patent number: 6569440
    Abstract: The present invention provides an emitter of semiochemical substances that comprising a support and a semiochemical subsistence adsorbed in the same, is characterized in that said support is a sepiolite and in that the retaining force between said sepiolite and said semiochemical substance is regulated in such a way that a controlled emission kinetics of said semiochemical substance is obtained. The process for the manufacture of said emitter comprises the operations of modifying a natural sepiolite and of associating it to a semiochemical substance, in such a way that the same is retained with a force such that the emitter has a controlled release kinetics of the substance. The cited emitter is especially useful in the agricultural sector, for insect plague control in crops.

  • Patent number: 6555090
    Abstract: The invention deals with a microporous crystalline material, with a characteristic X-ray diffractogram, comprised of oxygen tetrahedra and a metal (T+4 and T+3) with the possibility of introducing surface acidity produced by the substitution in the lattice of some T+4 cations by T+3 cations, which gives rise to a structural charge deficiency that may be compensated by protons, Brönsted acidity, and/or high ratio radium charge cations, Lewis acidity; and the obtaining method thereof, based on the preparation of a gel, its hydrothermal treatment under controlled conditions and the treatment of the resulting laminar material with a solution of an organic compound, a swollen material being obtained, which is subjected to a treatment for the formation of interlaminar pillars of polymeric oxides, obtaining a pillared material that maintains the separation between the sheets, even after calcination.
