Abstract: The-silica content of cooling water blow-down waters is reduced by contacting these waters with a colloidal alumina which adsorbs a portion of the silica. The blow-down is then dialyzed to produce a permeate having a reduced silica content. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the permeate is recycled.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing a lead zirconate-lead titanate ceramic material (PZT ceramic) that exhibits higher fired density than conventional PZT ceramics and approximately equal electrical properties. The method employs zirconium oxide sol, containing extremely small zirconium oxide particles, as a raw material.
