  • Publication number: 20230399420
    Abstract: Disclosed are support-activators and catalyst compositions comprising the support-activators for polymerizing olefins in which the support-activator includes a clay heteroadduct, also termed a composite, prepared from a colloidal phyllosilicate such as a colloidal smectite clay, which is chemically-modified with a surfactant. In an aspect, the clay composite can comprise the contact product of a colloidal smectite clay and a surfactant in a liquid carrier, but in the absence of any other reactant such as a cationic polymetallate, and their use as support-activators for metallocene precatalysts is also described. The use of surfactants with cationic polymetallates in forming clay-composites is also described.

  • Publication number: 20230026522
    Abstract: A fireproof and waterproof biomass floor and a manufacturing method therefor. The floor comprises, in parts by weight, 80-95 parts of a wood fiber, 5-20 parts of an additive, and 0-1 part of a pigment. The additive comprises the following raw material components in percentage by weight: a metal oxide: 10-20 wt %; a hydrochloride: 10-20 wt %; a non-metal oxide: 5-10 wt %; a weak acid: 5-10 wt %; a sulfate: 1-2 wt %; a phosphate: 1-2 wt %; and water: 36-68 wt %. The manufacturing method comprises: mixing the wood fiber, the additive, and the pigment; flatly laying the obtained mixture on a base plate; performing die pressing, and standing for 3-10 days; performing demolding; subjecting the obtained demolded plate to edge cutting, drying, sanding, assembling, hot pressing, cutting, curing, slotting, and silent pad pasting on the back face. The floor has the advantages of being fireproof, ultralow in water absorption thickness expansion rate, and ultralow in formaldehyde release amount.
