Abstract:
To provide a method for producing a ceramic porous material which has a high strength, though it has a high porosity, and which is excellent in permeability without dust generation. In a ceramic porous material having a three-dimensional mesh-like skeleton structure with a large number of substantially spherical adjacent cells communicating with each other via communication holes, the crystal particle size at the rim of each communication hole in the skeleton structure is provided substantially equal to the crystal particle size in the other parts.
Abstract:
The ceramic member of this invention is formed on the surfaces of crystal grains with a plurality of protrusions having smaller diameter than that of the crystal grain, said crystal grain composing at least the surface or its vicinity of a dense ceramic base material of purity being 95 wt % or higher. Such ceramic members may be produced by performing the surface of a dense ceramic base material with a corrosion treatment in an acid etchant, the dense ceramic base material having purity of 95 wt % or higher and exceeding 90% of a theoretical density, whereby ceramic grains existing on the surface or its vicinity of the base material are formed on the surface thereof with a plurality of protrusions.
Abstract:
A kind of transparent alumina ceramics is disclosed herein, the optical axes of all or part of the crystal grains of the transparent alumina ceramics are arranged in a direction, which makes the transparent alumina ceramics have orientation.

Abstract:
A ceramic porous body has a layered structure including a plurality of foam-like ceramic layers. The foam-like ceramic layers are formed by firing foam-like ceramic shaped layers each having a thickness of not more than 5 mm. The adjacent shaped layers are joined directly, or bonded via a thin foam-like ceramic layer or dense ceramic layer.

Abstract:
The invention provides titanium dioxide fine particles, wherein nitrogen and at least one element selected from carbon, hydrogen, sulfur doped in titanium dioxide by heat-treating fine particles of a material of titanium dioxide at 500° C. or more and 600° C. or less in a reducing gas atmosphere containing nitrogen. The titanium fine particles exhibit a high photocatalytic activity than in the conventional art by irradiating a visible light such that they exhibit an isopropanol oxidation activity induced by visible light irradiation with a wavelength of 400 nm or more and 600 nm or less with excellent stability and durability of the photocatalytic activity.
Abstract:
A ceramic porous body is constituted of ceramic particles which have a substantially continuous, monotonic size distribution in the thickness direction of the porous body.
Abstract:
A silica glass filter comprises a porous support body composed of amorphous silica particles as a porous sintered body and having a purity of 99.9% or more and containing 150 ppm or less in total of impurities including alkali, alkali metal, heavy metal and/or elements of III B group, and a filtration layer formed on the support body. The filtration layer is composed of amorphous silica particles as a porous sintered body in a fine mode and has substantially the same purity as that of the support body.
Abstract:
A cylindrical support member consists of a bone-like porous ceramic member and a ceramic porous network member having a three-dimensional network structure provided outside the bone-like member so as to constitute an integral part. A ceramic membrane having a smaller pore size and serving as a filter membrane is formed on the exposed surface of the bone-like member and the surfaces of the struts of the network member by a ceramic-slurry foaming technique.
