Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING A SILICA-ALUMINA COMPOSITE WHICH COMPRISES REACTING ALUMINUM METAL WITH WATER CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 0.1% TO ABOUT 90% BY WEIGHT OF SODIUM META SILICATE AS A CATALYST AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM ABOUT 212*F. TO ABOUT 705*F. UNDER SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO MAINTAIN AN AQUEOUS LIQUID PHASE DURING THE REACTION AND FOR A SUFFICIENT TIME TO CONVERT THE METAL INTO ALUMINA, RECOVERING FROM SAID RECTION A REACTION MIXTURE SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF UNCONVERTED ALUMIUM METAL BUT CONTAINING THE ALUMINA AND SAID SILICATE, ACIDIFYING SAID REACTION MIXTURE, THEREBY PRECIPITATING SILICA FROM THE SODIUM META SILICATE, SEPARATING RESULTANT SILICAALUMINA PARTICLES FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE AND CALCINING THE SAME.
