Agent: Waddey & Patterson, P.C.

20070283785 - Process for recovery of iron from copper slag: The present invention relates to a process for recovery of iron from copper slag. This invention particularly relates to a process for recovery of iron from a waste like granulated copper slag generated during the production of copper from its ores by a pyrometallurgical method. The present invention will be... Agent: Abelman, Frayne & Schwab

20070277647 - Method for synthesis of metal nanoparticles: Metal nanoparticles containing two or more metals are formed by heating or refluxing a mixture of two or more metal salts, such as a metal acetates, and a passivating solvent, such as a glycol ether, at a temperature above the melting point of the metal salts for an effective amount... Agent: Honda/fenwick

20070277649 - Magnetic field assisted synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles: A process for the production of magnetic nanoparticles having uniform size and shape in which a magnetic metallic substance selected from magnetic transitional metals, their alloys, and intermetallic alloys with non-magnetic metals, is dissolved in a non-aqueous medium, reacted with a reducing agent, in solution and the reaction mixture is...
