Nanoparticles and method for producing uniform silicate-based nanoparticles are disclosed. The method comprises a step of injecting into tubular branched elements comprising static mixers a first aqueous solution comprising a water-soluble silicate compound and a second aqueous solution comprising a water-soluble compound releasing cationic species in solution, and allowing the reaction between the first and the second aqueous solutions in a micro-mixing regime, the method being characterized in that the overall mixing time is kept below 10.sup.5 s. A further step of allowing the solution obtained in the micro-mixing regime to mix in a macromixing regime. Nanoparticles obtained through the present method are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a reinforcing material for rubber including aluminosilicate particles, and a rubber composition for tires including the same. The reinforcing material for rubber according to the present disclosure exhibits excellent dispersibility in the rubber composition and reinforcing effect, and thus can be suitably used for eco-friendly tires requiring high efficiency and high fuel efficiency characteristics.

The present disclosure, in various embodiments, discloses hydrothermal methods, hydrothermally modified materials and dried hydrothermally modified materials. Certain dried hydrothermally modified materials can readily releases ionic species such as alkali metal ions (K.sup.+, Na.sup.+), silicate salts, and alkaline earth metal ions (Mg.sup.2+, Ca.sup.2+). Some dried hydrothermally modified materials can readily release aluminum ions and/or silicon, such as in the form of soluble silicates. Such processes and materials are useful, for example in economically preparing potassium releasing fertilizers.

Methods for synthesis of hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials are provided. Synthesized hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials formed according to the methods herein possess a high-degree of well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering. The methods include base-mediated reassembly, by dissolution of the parent material to the level of oligomeric structural building units of the parent material, and minimizing or avoiding amorphization/structural collapse. The dissolution and self-assembly is comprehensively controlled to produce hierarchically ordered zeolites and zeolite-type materials according to the methods herein.

A composition of matter is provided comprising hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous material having well-defined long-range mesoporous ordering of hexagonal symmetry. The composition possesses mesopores having walls of crystalline microporous material and a mass of mesostructure between mesopores of crystalline microporous material. Long-range ordering is defined by presence of secondary peaks in an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and/or hexagonal symmetry observable by microscopy.

A method for synthesizing high purity montmorillonite is disclosed. According to this synthesis method, bentonite is dissolved in aqua regia to produce a solution and then sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is added to the solution to produce a mixed solution. Then, the mixed solution is kept in a sealed state at a temperature of 90 C. inclusive to 100 C. exclusive to synthesize montmorillonite crystals.
