Filed:

Jan 31, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/774441

Stephen W. Sheargold - Edmond OK 73034
Phillip M. Story - Yukon OK 73099
Robert L. Peterson - Soda Springs ID 83276

International Classification:

H01M 448

US Classification:

4292311, 429224, 423599

Abstract:

Improved stabilized spinel battery cathode material and methods of treating particles of spinel battery cathode material to produce a protective coating of battery-inactive lithium metal oxide on the particles are provided. The methods basically comprise mixing the spinel particles with a particulate reactant selected from a lithium salt, a lithium metal oxide or a mixture of a lithium salt and a metal oxide and then heating the resultant particulate mixture for a time and temperature to react the particulate reactant with the spinel particles whereby a protective coating of lithium metal oxide is formed on the spinel particles and the lithium content of the spinel adjacent to the coating is increased a limited amount.

Inventors:

Phillip M. Story - Yukon OK

Assignee:

Kerr-McGee Corporation - Oklahoma City OK

International Classification:

C01G 2307

US Classification:

204164

Abstract:

A method for synthesizing a particulate product including electrostatically charging a fuel and/or oxidizer and/or ionizable inert gas present during the synthesis is provided. The method can include a step of collecting the particulate product which exploits the charged nature of the particulate reaction product.

Assignee:

Petrolite Corporation - St. Louis MO

International Classification:

C08L 9106
C09D 3393

US Classification:

106270

Abstract:

This invention relates to the use of hydrocarbon polymers to improve the hardness of waxes. Blends of hydrocarbon polymers in soft waxes are unexpectedly harder than each component thereof. In addition the blending of hydrocarbon polymers into waxes has a lesser effect on the undesirable properties of (1) increased viscosities and (2) increased cloud points, than occurs when polyethylene are blended into wax.

International Classification:

C09C 136

US Classification:

106437

Abstract:

A process for preparing a low-dusting, free-flowing pigment which has not been subjected to any micronizing treatment comprising the steps of providing an inorganic pigment material; providing a source of water; forming a fine, well dispersed slurry of the pigment and water; milling the slurry; depositing a treating agent having the formula ROOCCHSO. sub. 3 MCH. sub. 2 COOR' wherein R and R' are monovalent alkyl radicals having from about 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, and M is a metallic monovalent cation on the slurried milled pigment; and drying the pigment material having a treating agent deposited thereon. The invention also provides the free-flowing pigments produced by this process.
