  • Methods for preparing metal carboxylates in one-pot reaction
    Patent number: 11566036
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of manufacturing multiple metal propionates in a single reaction using sodium hydroxide as initiator and propionic acid as solvent. The method provides up to 95% conversion with greater than 60% yield. In addition, the method significantly reduces the cost or production by shortening reaction time, eliminating secondary mixing process, and providing simultaneous drying and micronization steps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2023
    Assignee: KEMIN INDUSTRIES, INC.
    Inventors: Christopher E. Nelson, Umesh Balakrishnan, Buddhi Sreeramulu Nandhakumar, Kottakulam Mani Murugan, Haridasan Chirakkal

  • Application of beta zeolite as multi-toxin binder in animal feed and related methods
    Patent number: 9968116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of beta zeolite in animal feed as a toxin binder. The beta zeolites, which contain 12 membered ring systems with Bronsted and Lewis acidic sites, have high binding efficacy against common toxins present in animal feed. This study aimed to evaluate the binding efficacy of the disclosed H beta zeolite (HBZ) has high binding efficiecy against major mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone, mycophenolic acid, cyclopiazonic acid, Fumonisin B1, T-2 and patulin.
