Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided colloidal silica particles comprising at least one polyvalent metal element M selected from a group consisting of iron, aluminum, zinc, zirconium, titanium, tin, and lead in an average content of 0.001 to 0.02 in terms of an M/Si molar ratio, and having an average primary particle diameter of 5 to 40 nm, wherein the content of the polyvalent metal element M present in an outermost layer of the colloidal particles is 0 to 0.003 atom per square nanometer (nm 2 ) of a surface area of the colloidal particles; and a silica sol that the colloidal silica particles are dispersed in an organic solvent, a silica sol that the colloidal silica particles are dispersed in a polymerizable compound, and a silica sol that the colloidal silica particles are dispersed in a dicarboxylic anhydride.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for producing colloidal silica particles, the process comprising (I) and (II): (I): adding an acid to a silica sol including colloidal silica particles so that the silica sol has a pH of 0 to 2.0, the colloidal silica particles including at least one polyvalent metal element M selected from a group consisting of iron, aluminum, zinc, zirconium, titanium, tin, and lead in an average content of 0.001 to 0.02 in terms of an M/Si molar ratio, and having an average primary particle diameter of 5 to 40 nm; and aging the sol at 0 to 40° C. for 0.5 to 100 hours; and (II): contacting the acidic silica sol obtained in (I) with a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin in the hydrogen form at a pH of 0 to 2.0, and further contacting the sol with a strongly basic anion-exchange resin in the hydroxy form, wherein the content of the polyvalent metal element M present in an outermost layer of the colloidal silica particles is 0 to 0.003 atom per square nanometer (nm 2 ) of a surface area of the colloidal particles. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the polyvalent metal element M present in an outermost layer of the colloidal silica particles is 0 to less than 0.001 atom per square nanometer (nm 2 ) of a surface area of the colloidal particles. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the colloidal silica particles are non-porous.
