Abstract: A harmful substance remover, which is used to remove any of ethylene, mercaptans, amines and aldehydes, is a solid product having a specific surface area of 100 m.sup.2 /g or more obtained by hydrolyzing a metal alkoxide in the presence or absence of a noble metal. The harmful substance remover is utilized by contacting a harmful substance therewith. Such contacting may take place under irradiation of ultraviolet rays.

Abstract: A hydraulic composition comprises a hydraulic component and an organic hydrogel, and optionally aggregate, a reinforcing material and other additives and has a slump value, determined by the testing method of JIS A1101, of not more than about 1 cm in a concrete formulation and a flow value, determined by the testing method of JIS R5201, of not more than about 120 mm in a mortar or paste formulation.

Abstract: A deodorant carrying urethane foam contains a chemically-reactive deodorant distributed uniformly therein wherein weight loss of said deodorant is not more than 15% when kept at atmospheric pressure and 150.degree. C. for 1 hr. The process of preparing the above-mentioned deodorant carrying urethane foam comprises adding a chemically-reactive deodorant to a urethane foam composition with mixing to permit said deodorant to be uniformly distributed therein, and then causing the resultant mixture to react and produce a foam.

Abstract: A deodorizing urethane foam comprising a urethane foam substrate and a deodorizing component. The deodorizing component is composed of (A) a Diels-Alder reaction-type addition reaction product between an alpha,beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride and an olefin or a derivative of the reaction product and optionally (B) a copper compound. This urethane foam is produced by foaming a mixture of materials for the urethane foam substrate and the Diels-Alder reaction-type addition reaction product between an alpha,beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride and an olefin or its derivative of the reaction product and optionally the copper compound.

Abstract: A rubber composition comprising rubber and a deodorizing component containing a compound having an acid anhydride group in the molecule.

Abstract: A deodorant composition comprising (A) an acidic phosphoric acid compound and (B) a copper compound and as desired, (C) a reducing agent, and a deodorant composite material comprising a substrate and the deodorant composition included therein.

Abstract: A deodorant composition comprising (A) a compound having an acid anhydride group in a molecule and (B) a copper compound, said deodorant composition being useful as a deodorant composite material comprising a substrate (such as a paper, a fabric, a foamed sheet, a pulp, fibers or an inorganic substance) and the deodorant composition included therein, a deodorant resin composition composed of a thermoplastic resin and the deodorant composition, or a shaped article produced by processing the deodorant resin composition.

Abstract: A composition comprising a copper compound, and blended with it, an oxocarboxylic acid compound. The composition has excellent deodorizing, fungicidal and moldproof properties.

Abstract: A deodorant comprising a Diels-Alder reaction-type adduct of an alpha,beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and an olefin or a derivative of the adduct as an active ingredient. A composite material, a resin composition, a resin article and a foam each containing the deodorant.

Abstract: A deodorant composition comprising (A) an acidic phosphoric acid compound and (B) a copper compound and as desired, (C) a reducing agent, and a deodorant composite material comprising a substrate and the deodorant composition included therein.

Abstract: A hydraulic composition comprises a hydraulic component and an organic hydrogel, and optionally aggregate, a reinforcing material and other additives and has a slump value, determined by the testing method of JIS A 1101, of not more than about 1 cm in a concrete formulation and a flow value, determined by the testing method of JIS R 5201, of not more than about 120 mm in a motor or paste formulation.

Abstract: A composition comprising a copper compound, and blended with it, (A) an L-ascorbic acid compound and/or an erythorbic acid compound and (B) a hydroxycarboxylic acid compound. The composition has excellent deodorizing, fungicidal and moldproof properties.

Abstract: A composition comprising a ferrous compound and as a stabilizer, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of (A) erythorbic acid compounds, (B) hydroxycarboxylic acid compounds and (c) oxocarboxylic acid compounds.

Abstract: A dispersant for an aqueous coal slurry, comprising as an active ingredient a water-soluble salt of a polymeric substance having a sulfonic acid residue bonded through an acid imide linkage or an acid amide linkage in the molecule.
