Abstract

A method is described for increasing the dispersibility of metallic oxide particles, particularly thorium oxide, in slurries. Organo-silicon compounds, such as organosilicon halides and silicate esters, are deposited on the surface of the oxide particles. A firing step conducted at temperatures of 600 to 1200 deg C removes the organic groups leaving a surface coating of silica, which provides the desired increase in particle dispersibility.

METHOD OF INCREASING THE DISPERSIBILITY OF SLURRY PARTICLES

Patent None

A method for treating thorium oxide particles and other refractory metal oxide particles (titanium, uranium, zirconium, and magnesium) for increased dispersibility in aqueous slurries is outlined in which the oxide particles are coated with an organo-silicon compound and then fired at 600 to 1200 deg C to decompose the compound, leaving silica bonded to the particles. A preferred organo-silicon compound is G.E. Dryfilm SC-77 which may be deposited on the oxide particles via the vapor phase, although others, including ammonium silicon compounds. can be used. If the thorium oxide slurries are to be used in a reactor, the chloride contentmore »« less
Aerated explosive slurry containing a foam promoting and viscosity increasing agent and method of making same

Patent Brockbank, S.M. ; Clay, R.B.

A method and apparatus are described for preparing a slurry of variable and controllable density from a liquid solution of oxidizer, such as ammonium nitrate sensitizing particulate material. The liquid component, or part thereof, is aerated prior to adding the particulate solids to vary density and explosive characteristics of the finished slurry. Part of the liquid may be diverted through a foaming or aerating device to incorporate fine gas bubbles and then combined with other liquid and with solid ingredients to make finished slurry. The relative proportions of the various components can be changed or programed periodically. (15 claims)
Method for increasing the size of elemental sulfur particles produced by a hydrogen sulfide removal process

Patent Delaney, D.D.

This patent describes an improvement in a method for removing particles of sulfur from a hydrogen sulfide removal system which employs a regenerable aqueous washing solution wherein the washing solution is circulated through an oxidizer vessel and therein an oxygen-containing gas is bubbled through the washing solution froth above the liquid surface of the washing solution. It comprises: admixing one or more cationic polymeric flocculents with the washing solution in an amount sufficient to at lest double the average sulfur particle size in the froth.
METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE DISPERSABILITY OF SLURRY PARTICLES

Patent None

The sedimentation velocity of aqueous metal oxide (particularly ThO/sub 2/) slurries is decreased by coating the oxide particles with an organic silicon compound, preferably a mixture of (CH/sub 3/)2 SiCl/sub 2/ and CH/sub 3/ SiCl/ sub 3/, and then heating them at 600 to 1200 ts C. (NPO)
Method for producing agglomerate particles from an aqueous feed slurry comprising finely divided coal and finely divided inorganic solids

Patent Kutta, H.W. ; Wunderlich, D.K.

An improved method is disclosed for producing coal agglomerates from an aqueous feed slurry containing finely divided coal and finely divided inorganic solids, the method consisting essentially of mixing a quantity of oil equal to from about 25 to about 75 percent of the oil required to produce the coal agglomerates with the aqueous slurry; thereafter mixing a quantity of an aqueous solution of a suitable polymeric material in an amount sufficient to agglomerate the finely divided coal with the aqueous slurry; and recovering the coal agglomerates.
