Title: Process for producing water-absorbing polymer having controlled moisture content
Inventor: KONDO SHINICHI
IPC: C08J3/12
Filed: 2005-03-30
Abstract: A water-absorbing polymer having a desirably controlled moisture content with a reduced variability from lot to lot and suitable for a shaped article having good characteristics is obtained by bringing a finely divided particle of water-absorbing polymer into contact with a stream of air having a moisture content of 2-20 g/m3 so that the moisture content in the polymer particle is increased by 300 ppm by weight or more to a moisture content of 300-50,000 ppm by weight. This moisture content-controlling treatment is carried out using a closed vessel wherein the air is fed, or using a pneumatic transportation apparatus wherein the air is fed, and the transportation and moisture content-control of polymer particle are conducted simultaneously.

Inventor: ZHAO JOE RU HE
IPC: E01C11/24
Filed: 2005-08-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of regulating and controlling surface temperature of concrete or asphalt structure (the structure) and the like, a s well as atmospheric or air temperature over the structure by encapsulating and containing temperature (thermal) control materials (TCMs) or/and water in the structure which constructs or constitutes pavements, roofs, parking lots, walls and the like . Volume ratio of water and one or more TCMs encapsulated and contained in the structure are from 0% to 100%.

Inventor: BOREN RICHARD M
IPC: A62B7/10
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: Methods and systems for processing metal oxides from metal containing solutions. Metal containing solutions are mixed with heated aqueous oxidizing solutions and processed in a continuous process reactor or batch processing system. Combinations of temperature, pressure, molarity, Eh value, and pH  value of the mixed solution are monitored and adjusted so as to maintain solution conditions within a desired stability area during processing. This results in metal oxides having high or increased pollutant loading capacities and/or oxidation states. These metal oxides may be processed according to the invention to produce co-precipitated oxides of two or more metals, metal oxides incorporating foreign cations, metal oxides precipitated on active and inactive substrates, or combinations of any or all of these forms. Metal oxides thus produced are, amongst other uses; suitable for use as a sorbent for capturing or removing target pollutants from industrial gas streams or drinking water or aqueous streams or for personal protective respirators.
