A composition including a plant medium and a poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide that comprises a clathrate containing oxygen gas molecules. The poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide may comprise of a poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide. The composition may include one or more nutrients. The composition may be in a solid form, a fluid form, or a combination thereof. The poly-oxygenated aluminum hydroxide is soluble in a fluid. In one embodiment, the poly-oxygenated metal hydroxide composition may have particles having a diameter of 212 m or less, and which may be homogeneous.

Provided are spherical alumina particles to be mixed with a resin to obtain a resin composition having low dielectric loss tangent. The spherical alumina particles containing 90% by mass or more of an ?-alumina crystal phase, in which the spherical alumina particles have a half-width of an ?-alumina (113) peak of 0.124? or less as observed by X-ray diffraction and an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 40 ?m.

The subject of the present invention is a method for processing metallized packaging materials, especially beverage cartons, or blister packaging. According to the invention, the aluminum is dissolved with the aid of acid and separated from the plastic. The metal-containing acid solution then undergoes pyrohydrolytic treatment and the acid is thus recovered. The aluminum can be recovered as valuable aluminum oxide.

A preparation method of an alumina-carbon nano tube composite powder material includes the steps of using an organometallic precursor as a raw material, using metal nanoparticles formed on the surface of the alumina powder as a catalyst, and simultaneously feeding a carbonaceous gas such as methane and acetylene, so as to grow a carbon nano tube in situ, and obtain an alumina-metal nanoparticle-carbon nano tube composite powder material through a chemical vapor deposition method under a temperature condition of 400 to 800? C. Through changing various parameters such as the weight of the organic raw material, the flow or constituent of reactant gases and reaction temperature, the decomposition of the organic raw material and the generation of the metal nanoparticles and the carbon nano tube are adjusted, and the size and the microstructure of the powder are controlled.

A method of manufacturing high-density beads of high-purity alumina, in which general aluminum hydroxide is dissolved in a sodium hydroxide solution. Insoluble impurities are removed to thus manufacture a pure sodium aluminate solution. High-purity aluminum hydroxide is manufactured. The manufactured high-purity aluminum hydroxide is subjected to a hydrothermal reaction, thus removing both crystal water and sodium. Sulfuric acid and ammonia are not used, raw material powder uncontaminated with impurities is manufactured by performing atomization using pulverizing media, and the powder as a raw material and ultrapure water are used to manufacture seeds. While the atomized powder and the ultrapure water are put onto a rotating plate, steps are performed until a desired size is obtained, thus manufacturing highly densified beads. A sintering process is performed in order to maintain a molding shape and to increase a density, followed by a classification process.
