  • Patent number: 10384945
    Abstract: A method of producing silica nanoparticles using sand can include mixing white sand with H2SO4 and H3PO4 to form a mixture. The mixture can be stirred in an ice bath. KMnO4 can then be added to the mixture while maintaining the temperature of the mixture below 5° C. The resulting suspension can be reacted for about 3 hours to about 5 hours on ice. The suspension is stirred in an ice bath and then maintained in a water bath at a temperature of 40° C. for about 90 minutes to about 120 minutes. Afterwards, the temperature is adjusted to and maintained at 98° C. for another period of about 90 minutes to about 120 minutes while adding water. H2O2 can be added to the suspension after adding the water to produce a reaction product with a precipitate. The reaction product can then be dried and calcinated to provide the silica nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 10358353
    Abstract: Silica particles calcined in a calcination step are supplied in a swirling flow generated by a gas introduced in a disintegration container and disintegrated therein, whereby the silica particles can be easily disintegrated and there can be obtained disintegrated silica particles having both low hygroscopicity and high dispersibility in resin. In addition, the introduction of dehumidified air (gas) during the disintegration reduces hygroscopicity and greatly improves dispersibility in resin. Furthermore, performing heating treatment (calcination) again after the disintegration causes the surface modification of the disintegrated silica particles, greatly improving hygroscopicity and dispersibility in resin. The resin composition obtained in this manner including silica particles provides good injectability and filterability when used for an underfill material for semiconductors and an in-plane spacer or sealing spacer of liquid crystal displays.
