Microwave Process for Preparing Stable Metal Oxide Dispersions

摘要

Microwave irradiation is used to prepare stable dispersions of small particle metal oxides, such as magnesium oxide and calcium oxide, from a composition prepared from a mixture comprising an oxide, hydroxide or carbonate of the metal, a carrier, a sulfonic or carboxylic acid dispersant, and typically a low MW carboxylic acid and water. Dispersions with an average particle size of one micron or less, often from 1-100 nm, are typically obtained.
