  • Patent number: 7361327
    Abstract: Novel zeolites are produced by combining a polar solute, a silicon or phosphorous source, and a structure directing agent. Surfactants and a hydrophobic solvent are added to the previously mixed three species and shaken to disperse the surfactants. The reverse microemulsion is stirred overnight, at about room temperature and then iced for five to ten minutes. A metal source is added vigorously shaken for about two minutes. The mixture is then aged for about two hours at about room temperature. A mineralizer is added and the resultant mixture aged for about two hours at about room temperature. The mixture is heated to about 180° C., for a suitable time period. The final novel product is then isolated.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040244673
    Abstract: Novel microporous crystal morphologies are produced by combining a polar solute, a silicon or phosphorous source, and a structure directing agent. A premixed mixture of at least one surfactants and a hydrophobic solvent is added to the previously mixed three species and shaken to for a reverse microemulsion. The microemulsion is stirred overnight, at about room temperature and then iced for five to ten minutes. A metal source is added and vigorously shaken for about two minutes. The mixture is then aged for about two hours at about room temperature. After which, a mineralizer is added and the resultant mixture aged for about two hours at about room temperature. The mixture is then heated to about 100-220° C. The final novel product is then isolated.

  • Patent number: 6599962
    Abstract: There has been invented a method for incorporating additives into polymers comprising: (a) forming an aqueous or alcohol-based colloidal system of the polymer; (b) emulsifying the colloidal system with a compressed fluid; and (c) contacting the colloidal polymer with the additive in the presence of the compressed fluid. The colloidal polymer can be contacted with the additive by having the additive in the compressed fluid used for emulsification or by adding the additive to the colloidal system before or after emulsification with the compressed fluid. The invention process can be carried out either as a batch process or as a continuous on-line process.
