Hydrated oxide gels

Finally, let us cite a number of new publications dealing with the preparation and testing of hydrated oxide gels hydrated aluminum oxides [30, 32] silica gels, unmodified [11, 13, 16, 21, 27] silica gels, modified [1-4, 9, 14, 19] hydrated titanium oxides [8, 15, 28, 33, 34] hydrated chromiiun oxides [5, 10, 18, 23-25] ... 

Wet preparation of red iron oxides can involve either a hydrothermal process (see Hydrothermal processing) or a direct precipitation and growth of iron oxide particles on specially prepared nucleating seeds of Fe202- In the hydrothermal process, iron(II) salt is chemically oxidized to iron(III) salt, which is further treated by alkahes to precipitate a hydrated iron(III) oxide gel. The gel can be dehydrated to anhydrous hematite under pressure at a temperature around 150°C. 

Denture Adhesives. Fast hydration and gel-forming properties are ideally mated to produce a thick, cushioning fluid between the dentures and gums (100). The biologically inert nature of poly(ethylene oxide) helps reduce unpleasant odors and taste in this type of personal-care product (see... 

Guizard et al. (1986), Cot, Guizard and Larbot (1988) and Larbot et al. (1989) used a sol-gel method to prepare zirconia membrane top layers on an alumina support. The water necessary for the hydrolysis of the Zr-alkoxide was obtained from an esterification reaction. The complete hydrolysis was done at room temperature and resulted in a hydrated oxide. The precipitate was peptized with nitric or hydrochloric acid at pH <1.1 and the final sol...

Active aluminas (various oxides and hydrated oxides) with high specific areas, good absorption characteristics, catalytic properties and high chemical reactivity are either produced by precipitation processes from aluminum salt solutions e.g. via thermal post-treatment of aluminum hydroxide gels, or by the calcination of a-aluminum hydroxide under specific conditions (low temperatures, very rapid heating). 

The sol-gel process was first used for the preparation of silicates used in phase equilibrium studies. Often the sol-gel process makes use of a concentrated hydrous sol, a colloidal dispersion of (hydrated) oxide particles produced by controlled precipitation. It is also a precipitation process that makes use of immobilization of ions in a gel or glassy structure.

Precipitation with an acid or a base (see hydrated chromium oxide gel, p. 1648 silica gel, p. 1648). 

Coprecipitation of silicic acid with hydrated oxides of metals such as Fe, Al, Cr, Ca, Cu, Ni and so forth yields silica gels that, after washing, drying and activation by leaching with hydrochloric acid, give chalky materials (provided the metal concentration in the starting mixtures is high [2]).
