Abstract:
1. A process for producing an aqueous dispersion comprising dispersing with high shear energy a silicon-aluminium mixed oxide powder in an aqueous medium, the particles of said silicon-aluminium mixed oxide powder comprising from 0.1 to 99.9 wt. % Al 2 O 3 and possessing a structure containing Si—O—Al-bonds and at least one selected from the group consisting of amorphous silicon dioxide regions, crystalline silicon dioxide regions, and combinations of amorphous and crystalline silicon dioxide regions, and crystalline aluminium oxide regions, said silicon-aluminum mixed oxide powder being selected from the group consisting of (1) a powder containing primary particles of amorphous silicon dioxide and crystalline aluminium oxide obtained from a flame hydrolysis process, (4) a powder containing a mullite structure having the chemical composition 3 Al (5) a powder containing aluminium oxide doped with silicon dioxide or silicon dioxide obtained from a flame hydrolysis process and doped with aluminium oxide, and (4) a powder containing an aluminium oxide powder completely or partially coated with silicon dioxide or silicon dioxide powder completely or partially coated with aluminium oxide, wherein the energy input for the dispersion operation is at least 200 KJ/m
