Hazardous or toxic waste destruction or containment inventions 01/09

20090030256 - Electrochemical removal of dissociable cyanides: The method of the invention provides means of destroying highly stable metal cyanide ions found in a solution, and converting the cyanide to harmless by-products. Contrary to conventional methods which merely complex the cyanide into a mechanically or physically removable complex, the present method destroys the cyanide found in the... Agent: Banner & Witcoff, Ltd.

20090023973 - Overburden material for in-container vitrification: A process for melting material to be treated includes placing material to be treated in a container that may include an insulating lining, heating the material to be treated and melting the material to be treated, preferably allowing the melted material to cool to form a vitrified and/or crystalline mass,... Agent: Klarquist Sparkman, LLP

20090018381 - Container for accomadating media, and method for the production and verification of the leakproofness of said container: The invention relates to a method for verifying the leakproofness of a container used for accommodating preferably liquid media as well as a plastic container that is composed of several segments (22a, 24). The invention further relates to a method for producing a container from several segments and a container... Agent: Friedrich Kueffner

20090018382 - Methods and apparatus for containing hazardous material: Methods and apparatus for containing a hazardous material according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a container having two compartments. The first compartment is configured to contain the hazardous material, and the second compartment contains a hazard control material. The container may further comprise a... Agent: The Noblitt Group, PLLC

20090012343 - Waste disposal method: The invention provides a method for the production of a stable monolith, the method comprising the encapsulation of a waste material in the monolith by means of chemical bond formation within the monolith, and a method for the disposal and storage of waste materials, which comprises the production of a... Agent: Myers Bigel Sibley & Sajovec

20090012344 - Apparatus, composition, and methods to remediate an acid and/or liquid spill: A method to remediate a release of one or more acidic materials, by supplying a powder composition comprising a polyacrylamide, and disposing that powder onto a liquid spill comprising one or more acidic materials.... Agent: Dale F. Regelman

20090012346 - Method for the preparation of reactive compositions containing hydrogen peroxide: The subject invention provides a potentially economically viable method for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in deep eutectic solvents (DES). H2O2 is then used for the destruction of small to large quantities of sulfur and nitrogen mustards and lewisite, their homologous/analogues, and similar chemical warfare agents at ambient conditions... Agent: Nixon & Vanderhye, PC

20090012345 - Process for the destruction of halogenated hydrocarbons and their homologous/analogous at ambient conditions: The subject invention provides a potentially economically viable process for the destruction of small to large quantities of halogenated hydrocarbons, their homologous/analogues, and similar hazardous chemicals at ambient conditions using superoxide ion in deep eutectic solvents. The superoxide ion is either electrochemically generated by the reduction of oxygen in deep... Agent: Nixon & Vanderhye, PC

20090005628 - Reuse method of radioactive waste salt and the apparatus thereof: A reuse apparatus of eutectic salt waste produced in an electro refining process and a method thereof is a technology that in order to collect the eutectic salt of the eutectic salt waste, oxidizes/precipitates nuclides (rare earth and TRU) within the eutectic salt waste, an oxygen dispersing method is used... Agent: Clark & Brody

20090005629 - Method and system for restraining a chemical discharge: A method for restraining a chemical discharge comprising (a) deploying a binding agent into a receptacle containing a hazardous material in a liquid state upon the occurrence of at least one predetermined event that increases the risk of accidentally discharging or leaking the hazardous material from the receptacle; and (b)... Agent: Honeywell International Inc.

20090005630 - Treatment method and soil treatment method: A treatment method includes heating a treatment target object under reduced pressure in a hermetic zone to vaporize a component of the treatment target object, and opening a hermetic door and inserting a tube from a side of a treatment system for the vaporized component adjoining the hermetic zone with...
