Flaked tantalum powder and method of using same flaked tantalum powder

Abstract: An improved flaked tantalum powder and process for making the flaked powder are disclosed. The powder is characterized by having a Scott density greater than about 13 g/in 3 and preferably at least about 90% of the flake particles having no dimension greater than about 55 micrometers. Agglomerates of the flaked tantalum powder, provide improved flowability, green strength and pressing characteristics compared to conventional flaked tantalum powders. The improved flaked tantalum powder can be made by preparing a flaked tantalum and then reducing the flake size until a Scott density greater than about 18 g/in 3 is achieved. The invention also provides pellets and capacitors prepared from the above-described flaked tantalum powder.

Particulate absorbent materials and methods for making same

Abstract: Solid absorbent materials that are useful for absorption of chemical species from a fluid, such as a gas stream or a liquid stream. The absorbent materials are formed by spray processing and posses a well-defined chemical composition and microstructure. The absorbent materials can have a high absorption capacity for a chemical species such as H2S, CO2, NOX and H2 and have a high recylability, such that the chemical species can be absorbed and desorbed over a large number of cycles.

Fibrous-formation aerogel composite material containing at least one thermoplastic fibrous material, process for the production thereof, and use therof

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite material which has at least one formation comprising fibres and aerogel particles and is characterised in that the fibrous formation contains at least one thermoplastic fibrous material to which the aerogel particles are bound and by which the fibres in the formation are bound together. It also relates to a process for the production of said composite material, and the use thereof.
