Abstract
Abstract A molded acidic gas absorbent produced by press molding powders, etc. of calcium hydroxide and one or more powders, etc. of alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides except for calcium hydroxide, impregnating the molded article with water, followed by heat treatment while maintaining a predetermined amount of water therein is effective for absorbing an acidic gas such as CO2 in air and a narcotic gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A process for producing a molded acidic gas absorbent, which comprises press molding at least one member selected from the group consisting of powders, particles and granules of calcium hydroxide and at least one member selected from the group consisting of powders, particles and granules of alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides except for calcium hydroxide, in an amount of about 1 to about 7 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said calcium hydroxide, to form a molded article; impregnating said molded article with water, and heat treating the resulting article at about 50° to 120° C. for about 1 to 24 hours in a substantially closed system, so as to maintain about 5 to about 21 W/W% water therein and to produce a molded adsorbent having a melt solidified surface of at least about 50%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A process for producing a molded acidic gas absorbent, which comprises press molding at least one member selected from the group consisting of powders, particles and granules of calcium hydroxide and at least one member selected from the group consisting of powders, particles and granules of alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides except for calcium hydroxide, in an amount of about 1 to about 7 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said calcium hydroxide, to form a molded article; impregnating said molded article with water, and heat treating the resulting article at about 50° to 120° C. for about 1 to 24 hours in a substantially closed system, so as to maintain about 5 to about 21 W/W% water therein and to produce a molded adsorbent having a melt solidified surface of at least about 50%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the press molding is carried out under a pressure of 200 to 1,300 kg/cm 2 .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
A process claimed in claim 1 consisting essentially of the recited steps.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
A molded acidic gas absorbent comprising calcium hydroxide; at least one member selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, except for calcium hydroxide; and water, and having an average hardness of 900 to 2600 g and a surface which has a melt solidified area of at least 50% prepared by the process of claim 1.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
A molded acidic gas absorbent comprising calcium hydroxide, at least one alkali metal hydroxide, and water, and having an average hardness of 900 to 2600 g and a surface which has a melt solidified area of at least 50% prepared by the process of claim 1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
A molded acidic gas absorbent according to claim 6, wherein the alkali metal hydroxide is sodium hydroxide.
