A particulate material and a process for the production thereof are provided, which particulate material comprises zeolitic particles having a crystalline structure, which contain as the main component a zeolite material having a zeolitic framework structure formed from Si, O and optionally Al, and/or a zeolite-like material having a zeolitic framework structure which is formed not only from Si, O and optionally Al, wherein the zeolitic particles are in the form of essentially spherical particles with nanometer dimensions.

A metal adsorbent-carrying carbon material includes: a carbon material; and a metal adsorbent that is supported on the carbon material.

A porous formed article includes an organic polymer resin and an inorganic ion adsorbent and having the most frequent pore size of 0.08 to 0.70 μm measured with a mercury porosimeter. Such a porous formed article can be prepared by crushing and mixing a good solvent for the organic polymer resin and the inorganic ion adsorbent to obtain slurry; dissolving the organic polymer resin and a water-soluble polymer in the slurry; shape-forming the slurry; promoting coagulation of the shape-formed product by controlling the temperature and humidity of a spatial portion coming into contact with the shape-formed product, until the shape-formed product is coagulated in a poor solvent; and coagulating the coagulation-promoted shape-formed product in a poor solvent. A production apparatus can be used to prepare such a porous formed article.

A water-absorbent resin (21) has a shape in which a plurality of particles (40) having a substantially spherical shape is connected in a chain shape.

Provided is a coating solution for forming a dust collecting layer, wherein the coating solution can be applied uniformly, and the formed dust collecting layer does not easily peel off from a filter element material, and allows to collect fine powder products having a small particle size. The coating solution is for forming a dust collecting layer in a dust collecting filter, and contains a fine powder, dopamine hydrochloride, and an adhesive.

The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide absorbent used for absorbing carbon dioxide, a carbon dioxide absorbent composition used for producing the carbon dioxide absorbent, and a solid raw material for a carbon dioxide absorbent included in the carbon dioxide absorbent.

Beads of materials such as activated alumina, zeolite and silica gel, are used as chloride salt absorbers. The beads are mixed with high-salt gypsum. After mixing for a short time, the mixtures are dried, and the beads and the powder are separated by using a sieve or other physical separation device resulting in a low-salt gypsum which can be used as a gypsum source to make gypsum wallboard.

A water absorption treatment material includes a first grain and a second grain that absorb a liquid. The first grain includes a first core portion and a first coating portion. The first core portion has a grain-like shape. The first coating portion contains an adhesive material, and covers the first core portion. The second grain includes a second core portion and a second coating portion. The second core portion has a grain-like shape. The second coating portion contains an adhesive material, and covers the second core portion. The thickness of the second coating portion is smaller than the thickness of the first coating portion.

A method of forming an SSZ-13 zeolite in a hydrothermal synthesis yields an SSZ-13 zeolite that exhibits a silica to alumina (SiO.sub.2:Al.sub.2O.sub.3) molar ratio (SAR) that is less than 16:1; has a morphology that includes one or more of cubic, spheroidal, or rhombic particles with a crystal size that is in the range of about 0.1 micrometer (μm) to 10 μm. This SSZ-13 also exhibits a Brönsted acidity that is in the range of 2.0 mmol/g to 3.4 mmol/g as measured by ammonia temperature programmed desorption. A catalyst formed by substituting a metal into the framework of the zeolite provides for low temperature light-off of the NOx conversion reactions, while maintaining substantial performance at higher temperatures demonstrating hydrothermal stability.
