Filed:

Oct 9, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/974725
Inventors:

Shiho Wang - Lake Forest CA, US
Yasar Halefoglu - Aliso Viejo CA, US
Chih-hsing Cheng - Fullerton CA, US
Dengfeng Xu - Irvine CA, US
David Kwong Nung Chan - Fountain Valley CA, US

Assignee:

Simax Technologies, Inc. - Irvine CA
International Classification:

C01B 33/152
C03C 3/00
US Classification:

516111, 516 98, 65 172, 65395, 501 12, 423338, 4283126
Abstract:

A method of forming a gel monolith includes preparing a first solution comprising metal alkoxide and preparing a second solution comprising a catalyst. A third solution is prepared by mixing the first solution and the second solution together. At least one of the first, second, and third solutions is cooled to achieve a mixture temperature for the third solution which is substantially below room temperature, wherein the third solution has a significantly longer gelation time at the mixture temperature as compared to a room temperature gelation time for the third solution. The method further includes allowing the third solution to gel, thereby forming the gel monolith.

International Classification:

C01B033/12
US Classification:

423/338000
Abstract:

A method of manufacturing a xerogel monolith having a pore diameter distribution includes preparing a first solution comprising metal alkoxide and preparing a second solution comprising a catalyst. A third solution is prepared by mixing the first solution and the second solution together. At least one of the first, second, and third solutions is cooled to achieve a mixture temperature for the third solution which is substantially below room temperature, wherein the third solution has a significantly longer gelation time at the mixture temperature as compared to a room temperature gelation time for the third solution. The method further includes allowing the third solution to gel, thereby forming a wet gel monolith. The method further includes forming the xerogel monolith by drying the wet gel monolith.
