  • Patent number: 6720369
    Abstract: A process for preparing silica-filled rubber powder is provided, which includes contacting a salt-containing silica-precipitation suspension with at least one selected from the group including a rubber latex, rubber solution, and rubber emulsion, to form a mixture; and precipitating to produce a silica-filled rubber powder.

  • Patent number: 6713534
    Abstract: A fine-particle, free-flowing rubber powder containing silicatic fillers, one or more organosilanes having trialkoxysilyl groups, and a rubber prepared by solution polymerization is prepared by a process that starts from a two-phase system: 1) filler in water, and 2) rubber in organic solvent. A rubber/silicatic filler/silane composite is formed during transfer, under gentle conditions, of the various reactants into a single phase. The process features a high degree of freedom in selecting forms of filler and in selecting the organosilane and gives a finished rubber powder in which a silicatic filler and an organosilane have undergone complete chemical reaction.

  • Publication number: 20030159996
    Abstract: The present invention provides an adsorbent, that includes a pulverulent rubber, which contains at least one filler selected from the group including natural filler, synthetic filler, organic filler, inorganic filler, and mixtures thereof. Another embodiment of the invention relates to an article or apparatus selected from the group including a cushion, hose, suction boom, stationary bed column, suspension reactor, and fluidized bed reactor, that contain the above-noted adsorbent. Another embodiment of the invention provides a process, that includes adsorbing at least one organic compound with the above-noted adsorbent. The present invention is a readily usable and effective adsorbent, and has a high capacity, permits an efficient mass transport in the individual adsorbent particles, and has a resistance to fouling by adsorption of higher molecular weight substances or by swelling processes, and is resistant to being wetted by water and to coadsorption of water.
