  • Patent number: 11968981
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-viral nanoformulation suitable for diverse surface application in form of hydrogel based nanoemulsion, or an aerosol spray. The present invention discloses incorporation of nanomaterials such as functionalized carbon quantum dots (F-CQDs), copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) or silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into the hydrogel (HG) scaffold to act as chemical barrier and anti-viral agent against SARS-CoV-2 or Escherichia coli: phage MS2. The nanoformulation is coated on personal protective equipment's (PPE) and different surfaces such as glass, steel and plastic to control viral infection including corona virus infection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 24, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 30, 2024
    Assignee: INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITED

  • Publication number: 20240124793
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an additized blended fuel composition comprising of 97 to 50 weight % of liquified petroleum gas (LPG); 3 to 50 weight % of dimethyl ether (DME); and a nanocatalyst. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improvement in the combustion efficiency of the DME blended LPG fuel by using catalytic amount of the nano-catalyst, when introduced in ppm level enhances the combustion properties, thereby increasing the flame temperature and reducing the consumption of fuel gas mixture.

  • Patent number: 11603503
    Abstract: This invention is related to an additive composition comprising metal-based quantum clusters (QCs) dispersed in a hydrocarbon medium. The additive composition is useful as a fuel additive, as it acts as a combustion improver for liquid and gaseous fuels. The invention describes a process for the synthesis of the additive composition comprising metal-based materials in atomic cluster form in hydrocarbon dispersible medium. The stable liquid dispersion of the QC has been doped into the hydrocarbon fuels at required concentrations. The measurable flame temperature of the fuels, e.g., commercial LPG on burner has been observed to increase by at least 60-80° C. The flame with high heat through put can be used for efficient cooking, heating, annealing and other high thermal applications. The additive composition may also be used to improve the fuel economy of the liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
