Patent number: 11370725Abstract: Disclosed is an ethylene and/or propylene cracker unit that uses recycled carbon dioxide as a working fluid. A boiler may also use recycled carbon dioxide as a working fluid. In either instance, instead of releasing high-purity CO2 into the atmosphere, the bulk of the CO2 is utilized as the working fluid and the produced CO2 is captured and sent to the pipeline for utilization or storage. These systems will minimize heat loss and achieve essentially zero CO2 emission to the air.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Lamar University, a Component of the Texas State University System, an Agency of the State of TexasInventors: Daniel H. Chen, Russel Buss, Dan P. Fernandes

Patent number: 9050605Abstract: A nanocomposite material for use as an electromagnetic wave or radio frequency absorber or as a filter to trap or remove heavy metals. The nanocomposite material may be made with a one-pot synthesis, or thermodecomposition process, of magnetic graphene nanocomposites decorated with core-double-shell nanoparticles, wherein the double shell iron nanoparticles may comprise a crystalline iron core, an inner iron oxide layer around the crystalline iron core, and an outermost amorphous Si—S—O compound shell around the iron oxide layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Lamar University, A Component of the Texas State University System, An Agency of the State of TexasInventor: Zhanhu Guo
