Chemical Products Corporation

Andrew Joseph Paszkowski

A system and method are disclosed for producing uniform size silica particles by the steps of providing preformed colloidal silica particles having a surface area, adding an alkali metal silicate and a cation exchange resin to produce a quantity of feed silica at a feed rate which is less than a nucleation rate, and increasing the feed rate as the feed silica is added wherein the feed rate is less than the nucleation rate.

Method for controling uniformity of colloidal silica particle size

A system and method are disclosed for producing high purity colloidal silica by the steps of providing a quantity of potassium silicate; subjecting the quantity of potassium silicate to an ion exchange process to remove a first portion of potassium therefrom to produce a quantity of colloidal silica; and subjecting the quantity of colloidal silica to ultrafiltration to remove a portion of sodium therefrom, producing a quantity of high purity colloidal silica. High purity potassium hydroxide may also be prepared by regenerating the ion exchange resin with an acid to produce a quantity of potassium salt, which may be further purified by evaporation, crystallization, then further processed by electrodialysis and/or electrolysis.
