Title: Umberto Constantino: Innovator in Zirconium Phosphate Technology
Introduction
Umberto Constantino is a notable inventor based in Perugia, Italy. He has made significant contributions to the field of materials science, particularly through his innovative work on zirconium phosphate.
Latest Patents
Umberto Constantino holds a patent for "Zirconium phosphate and method for its preparation." This invention relates to zirconium phosphate particles with sizes ranging from 1 to 100 µm. The material features a lamellar structure with an interlayer distance in the anhydrous state between 7.9 and 8.2 Å, and a surface area ranging from 9 to 20 m²/g. The method involves altering the lamellar structure of zirconium phosphate by intercalating an organic substance containing a proton-acceptor group and water, followed by treatment with ultrasounds. The process regenerates the hydrogen form of zirconium phosphate using an acid and involves washing with diluted acids and/or water.
