Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention aims to provide techniques for preparing complexes of magnesium carbonate particles and a fiber. The complexes of magnesium carbonate microparticles and a fiber can be synthesized efficiently by synthesizing the magnesium carbonate in a solution containing the fiber.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A complex of magnesium carbonate particles having an average particle size of 50 μm or less and a fiber, wherein 15% or more of the surface of the fiber is covered with the magnesium carbonate particles, and the magnesium carbonate is a basic magnesium carbonate. 2. The complex of claim 1 , wherein the fiber is a pulp fiber. 3. The complex of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio between the magnesium carbonate particles and the fiber is 5:95 to 95:5. 4. The complex of claim 1 , wherein the magnesium carbonate particles are adhered to the surface of the fibers. 5. A product comprising the complex of claim 1 . 6. The product of claim 5 , which is in the form of a sheet. 7. A process for preparing a complex of magnesium carbonate particles and a fiber as defined in claim 1 , comprising synthesizing the magnesium carbonate in a solution containing the fiber. 8. The process of claim 7 , wherein the magnesium carbonate particles have an average particle size of 50 μm or less. 9. The process of claim 7 , comprising synthesizing the magnesium carbonate from magnesium hydroxide. 10. The process of claim 7 , comprising synthesizing the magnesium carbonate by injecting an aqueous suspension containing magnesium hydroxide into a reaction vessel. 11. The process of claim 7 , comprising synthesizing the magnesium carbonate in the presence of cavitation bubbles. 12. The process of claim 7 , comprising reacting an aqueous suspension of the starting material and a gas containing carbon dioxide in the presence of cavitation bubbles. 13. The process of claim 7 , wherein the cavitation bubbles are generated by injecting a liquid into a reaction vessel. 14. The process of claim 7 , wherein the fiber is a pulp fiber. 15. The process of claim 7 , wherein the cavitation bubbles are generated by injecting an aqueous suspension containing magnesium hydroxide into a reaction vessel. 16. The process of claim 7 , wherein the reaction solution circulated from the reaction vessel is used as the aqueous suspension. 17. The process of claim 7 , wherein the magnesium carbonate has a primary particle size of 10 nm to 3 μm. 18. The process of claim 7 , wherein the weight ratio between the magnesium carbonate and the fiber is 5:95 to 95:5. 19. The process of claim 7 , wherein the reaction vessel is a pressure vessel. 20. The process of claim 7 , comprising using an aqueous suspension of a premixture of magnesium hydroxide and a pulp. 21. The process of claim 7 , further comprising hydrophobizing the complex.
