The present invention relates to a hydroxyapatite-supporting porous silica particle, in which hydroxyapatite is supported on a surface a spherical porous silica particle and inner surfaces of pores of the spherical porous silica particle, and in which the hydroxyapatite-supporting porous silica particle has a circularity of 0.760 or larger, a method for producing the hydroxyapatite-supporting porous silica particles, and a composition containing the hydroxyapatite-supporting porous silica particle.

A packaging film is described comprising at least one polymer film layer in which particles of a small-pore or a medium-pore palladium-doped zeolite are dispersed. Such films are of particular utility for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds, such as those originating from organic matter.

In one aspect, composite particles are described herein. A composite particle comprises a substrate, composite metallic or metal oxide nanoparticles supported by the substrate and an amphiphilic or hydrophilic component associated with the substrate, wherein the composite metallic or metal oxide nanoparticles comprise iron and at least one additional transition metal.

The present invention provides novel chromatographic materials, e.g., for chromatographic separations, processes for its preparation and separations devices containing the chromatographic material; separations devices, chromatographic columns and kits comprising the same; and methods for the preparation thereof. The chromatographic materials of the invention are chromatographic materials comprising having a narrow particle size distribution.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a filter which remove acidic gas in the atmosphere with high efficiency and has excellent water resistance. A filter comprising: an aluminium substrate; and an adsorption layer on a surface of the aluminium substrate, wherein the adsorption layer contains activated carbon, a manganese oxide, and an acrylic resin having a pH of 3.0 to 6.5.

An adsorbent having a microwave absorption property is provided. The adsorbent having an improved microwave absorption property, which has a core-shell structure including a silicon carbide bead disposed therein, and an adsorbing material disposed outside the silicon carbide bead, can be provided. Also, the adsorbent may further include a plurality of silicon carbide particles dispersed and disposed therein and having a diameter of 1 μm to 10 μm, and the adsorbing material may be ion-exchanged with a cation. Therefore, the adsorbent can be useful in improving desorption efficiency since the adsorbent may be rapidly heated by microwaves to reach the desorption temperature due to high reactivity to microwaves. Also, the adsorbent can be useful in maintaining full adsorption capacity without having an influence on adsorption quantity since the silicon carbide bead is disposed in the inner core of the adsorbent. Further, when the adsorbent is applied to conventional systems for removing organic compounds using microwaves or dehumidification systems, the adsorbent can be semi-permanently used, and may also have an effect of enhancing the energy efficiency by 30% or more, compared to adsorbents used in the conventional systems.

Structured adsorbent beds comprising a high cell density substrate, such as greater than about 1040 cpsi, and a coating comprising adsorbent particles, such as DDR and a binder, such as SiO.sub.2 are provided herein. Methods of preparing the structured adsorbent bed and gas separation processes using the structured adsorbent bed are also provided herein.

Described herein is a building panel comprising a substrate and an odor and VOC reducing coating applied to the substrate, the coating comprising a blend of a first component comprising ethylene urea; a second component comprising silica; and a rheology modifier.

An object of the present invention is to provide ferrite particles for a filtering medium excellent in filtration ability having a small apparent density, capable of various properties maintained in the controllable state and filling a specified volume with a small amount, and a filtering medium made from the ferrite particles.
