  • Patent number: 6802805
    Abstract: A method for recombining and then solidifying groups of soil particles by utilizing changes in the status and properties of soil particles which comprises a combination (in an adhering state) between soil particles and groups polymers (humin) in an aqueous solution (solvent). By using specified solvents, the preliminary treatment of separating soil particles and polymers is initiated. Secondarily, each structure of groups of soil particles is observed microscopically as a metal complex, and the combining method is accomplished by utilizing substitution based on various reactions (i.e. SN, SE, and SEAr type reactions) along with electron transfer in a solvent made of specified solutes. The substitution includes the rock forming function through the substitution of the hydrogen atom within the hydroxyl group of clay minerals as molecular components and the dehydration and dissociation function resulted from the binding structure of oxygen molecule O−2 and Al+3 as components of aluminum oxide.

  • Patent number: 6638488
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for isolating, decomposing, and fixing the organic hazardous substances in a stable manner using chemical techniques and isolating and decomposing the organic hazardous substances from various waste mixtures. The temperature treatment is preferably kept within room temperature range of between 0-30° C. The detoxification of the organic hazardous substances avoids secondary pollution of the environment when the treated materials are released in the soil, atmosphere, or in groundwater.

  • Patent number: 5986161
    Abstract: Hazardous compounds are chemically treated to remove various pollutants by subjecting the compounds (samples) to various process steps, including selecting specific solvents and using them, treating the sample at room temperature or below (30.degree. C. or lower); separating fatty acids mixed with heavy metal and semi-metal compounds as well as the separation of organic substances (including halogenated compounds) added to heavy metals and semi-metals; and using sodium nitrite and sodium 1-naphthylamine-4-sulfonate in combination from specific solvents, thereby in the sample, adsorbing and fixating halogen substances related to air pollution, coagulation resulting from the decomposition of fatty acids and the fixation of such compounds by quicklime and graphite and the stable fixation of heavy-metal oxide and semi-metal compounds using solvents having redox action and the formation of their complex salts and compounds, the above being accomplished by a continuous processing method.
