  • Removal of iron contaminants from hydrocarbon oils and aqueous by-products of oil and gas recovery/production
    Patent number: 10435632
    Abstract: Iron contaminants are removed from hydrocarbon oils, and from produced water or flowback water by-products of oil and gas production, by treatment of such liquids with a composition comprising a two-tail lipid compound. The lipid binds iron to form a lipid/iron phase in the liquid, which is then removed to provide a liquid with a reduced iron level.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD FOR INHIBITING DECOMPOSITION OF METAL SULFIDE-CONTAINING MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20120021130
    Abstract: This invention provides methods of producing a crosslinked lipid coating on a metal sulfide-containing material using a chemical initiator. The crosslinked lipid coating attached to the surface of the material prevents dissolution or oxidation of the material. The methods may be useful to prevent oxidation and leaking of sulfide-containing material in the environment and may be used in the control of environmental pollution.

  • Method for inhibiting oxidation of metal sulfide-containing material
    Patent number: 7153541
    Abstract: The present invention provides means for inhibiting the oxidation of a metal sulfide-containing material, such as ore mine waste rock or metal sulfide taiulings, by coating the metal sulfide-containing material with an oxidation-inhibiting two-tail lipid coating (12) thereon, thereby inhibiting oxidation of the metal sulfide-containing material in acid mine drainage conditions. The lipids may be selected from phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids and combinations thereof.
