  • Photocatalytic composites containing titanium and limestone
    Patent number: 8598068
    Abstract: New photocatalytic product comprising compounds of titanium integrated with limestone. The product is obtained by reacting limestone with a suitable precursor of titanium dioxide in a basic solution, followed by accurately washing the solid obtained, drying it and calcining it. A composite is obtained containing limestone, titanium dioxide and calcium titanate. The composite thus obtained, used as such or in mixture with other components, has shown an unexpectedly high photocatalytic activity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 3, 2013
    Assignee: Italcementi S.p.A.
    Inventors: Renato Ancora, Massimo Borsa, Maurizio Iler Marchi
  • Photocatalytic composites containing titanium and limestone free from titanium dioxide
    Patent number: 8598064
    Abstract: New photocatalytic product comprising compounds of titanium integrated with limestone. The product is obtained by reacting limestone with a suitable precursor of titanium dioxide in a basic solution, recovering the product in particular conditions, drying it and calcining it. By operating in presence of sodium, a composite is obtained substantially free from titanium dioxide, containing limestone and calcium titanate. The composite thus obtained, used as such or in mixture with other components, has shown an unexpectedly high photocatalytic activity.

  • Titanium dioxide based photocatalytic composites and derived products on a metakaolin support
    Patent number: 8092586
    Abstract: Described herein is a photocatalytic composite comprising a titanium dioxide supported on metakaolin. In comparison to known embodiments of the sector, the composite of the present invention makes it possible to obtain binders and derived products with high photocatalytic efficiency, even when using photocatalyst quantities which are lesser than those present in products of prior technical art.
