Patent number: 6893605Abstract: A method and systems are provided for extracting heavy metal from glass waste. Glass is initially crushed to a diameter size of about 2 millimeters. The glass is then added to a tank having a solution of water and acid, where the acid removes metal from the surface of the glass particles. The solution is then separated from the glass particles. In some embodiments, the glass particles are also rinsed with water and the rinsed water is treated to remove any residual contaminates. In more embodiments, the solution can be reused for a number of iterations that treat glass waste in order to extract heavy metal from the glass waste.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2003Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Tri E Holding, LLCInventor: Larry Lee Lough

Patent number: 6893606Abstract: A method and systems are provided for extracting heavy metal from glass waste. Glass is initially crushed to a diameter size between about 10 nanometers and about 2 millimeters. The glass is then added to a tank having a solution of water and acid, where the acid removes metal from the surface of the glass particles. In some embodiments, the solution and glass particles are elevated to a configurable temperature above ambient temperature and circulated for a configurable period of time. The solution is then separated from the glass particles. In some embodiments, the glass particles are then rinsed while in transit to a final destination or in a separate rinsing tank.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2003Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Tri E.

Patent number: 6818300Abstract: Methods are provided for coating glass waste. A mixture including a universal resin, a curing agent, a flow modifier, and a colorant is applied to the glass waste. The glass waste is then cured. In some embodiments, the mixture is sprayed onto the glass waste. In an alternative embodiment, the mixture is mixed with the glass waste.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Tri E Holding, LLCInventors: Dennis Dean Loyd, Larry Lee Lough

Publication number: 20040121071Abstract: Methods are provided for coating substrates. The mixture includes a universal resin, a curing agent, a flow modifier, a colorant, and a thermochromatic compound, a phosphorescent compound, or a luminescent compound. The mixture is coated onto a substrate. Coating can be achieved by mixing the mixture with a liquid form of the substrate, spraying the mixture onto the substrate, brushing the mixture onto the substrate, or submersing the substrate into the mixture.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2003Publication date: June 24, 2004Applicant: Tri E Holding , LLCInventors: Dennis Dean Loyd, Larry Lee Lough
