Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a novel composite pigment and method for its manufacture which comprises a finely-divided inert pigment as a core which has deposited on its surface a non-photoconductive grade of zinc oxide, the weight ratio of zinc oxide ranging from about 30% to about 80% of the total weight of the composite pigment and the composite pigment characterized by a specific surface in excess of about 10 square meters/gram. In rubber compounding, the composite pigment reduces the cost of the zinc essential to produce quality products and the composite pigment because it is itself photoconductive is of utility in photoconductive end uses.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A method of producing a composite pigment having a specific surface in excess of about 10 m 2 /gram which comprises dissolving metallic zinc in an aqueous ammonia-ammonium carbonate medium to form a solution, dispersing an inert inorganic pigmentary core material in said aqueous complex zinc solution, precipitating a basic zinc carbonate deposit on said dispersed pigment by heating at below atmospheric pressure, calcining the precipitated zinc compounds on said inert pigmentary core at a Temperature not to exceed about 900° C. and for a time schedule sufficient to convert the precipitated basic zinc compounds to zinc oxide while avoiding the formation of a combined oxide of zinc and said pigmentary core material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
113 words
A method of producing a composite pigment having a specific surface in excess of about 10 m 2 /gram which comprises dissolving metallic zinc in an aqueous ammonia-ammonium carbonate medium to form a solution, dispersing an inert inorganic pigmentary core material in said aqueous complex zinc solution, precipitating a basic zinc carbonate deposit on said dispersed pigment by heating at below atmospheric pressure, calcining the precipitated zinc compounds on said inert pigmentary core at a Temperature not to exceed about 900° C. and for a time schedule sufficient to convert the precipitated basic zinc compounds to zinc oxide while avoiding the formation of a combined oxide of zinc and said pigmentary core material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the time-temperature schedule is not in excess of one hour and the temperature is within the range of from above 700° C. but less than 900° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1, where the inert pigmentary core material is silicon dioxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process of claim 3 where the silicon dioxide has a specific surface in excess of one square meter per gram and the time-temperature calcination schedule is as in claim 2.
