Activated carbon for removal of sulfur containing materials from fluids. The activated carbon has a high sulfur capacity and can be manufactured without the addition of a catalyst. Lignite is treated to provide an activated carbon with a high mesoporosity and total surface area. The starting material has a high ash content, such as greater than 10% by weight.

Pelletized activated carbon and methods of production

A self-supporting aerogel structure is provided. The structure comprises a plurality of aerogel particles adhered together with an adhesive to produce a material exhibiting low heat transfer and high transmission of visible light. The aerogel particles can be coated with a polymer or pre-polymer and remain free flowing until they are activated to complete polymerization.

Self supporting areogel insulation

A method of making a nonwoven wet laid aerogel blanket is provided. The aerogel blanket can exhibit improved thermal conductivity, lower corrosivity, lower dust production and a uniform structure. The blanket can be made from an aerogel floc that is formed from a slurry of aerogel particles.

Aerogel blanket and method of production

A wallboard, a method of preparing a wallboard, and a method of making a gypsum slurry to prepare a wallboard are provided. The wallboard includes a set gypsum dihydrate derived substantially from a non-fibrous form of calcium sulfate and selected from the group consisting of anhydrous gypsum and gypsum hemihydrate. The wallboard also includes an aerogel dispersed in the gypsum dihydrate.

Low thermal transmission building material

Disclosed is a waterproofing membrane that performs well at both high and low temperatures. The waterproofing membrane comprises a carrier support layer and an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive bitumen composition comprising bitumen (asphalt), synthetic rubber, high density polyethylene, ground vulcanized crumb rubber and, optionally, a plasticizer. The waterproofing membrane also may optionally include a removable release sheet on the adhesive layer.
