Patents by Inventor Andres Badel

Andres Badel has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12330989
    Abstract: Reaction schemes involving acids and bases; reactors comprising spatially varying chemical composition gradients (e.g., spatially varying pH gradients), and associated systems and methods, are generally described. For example, methods comprising producing an acid; dissolving a material comprising calcium in the acid to produce calcium ions; treating the calcium ions to produce solid calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide; and utilizing the solid calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide in a downstream process to produce a cement, wherein the downstream process comprises heating the solid calcium hydroxide and/or calcium oxide in a kiln are described.

  • Patent number: 12252442
    Abstract: Reaction schemes involving acids and bases; reactors comprising spatially varying chemical composition gradients (e.g., spatially varying pH gradients), and associated systems and methods, are generally described. For example, methods comprising producing an acid and a base via electrolysis; dissolving a material comprising calcium using the acid to produce ions comprising calcium in a region of a reactor with a pH of 6 or less; precipitating solid calcium hydroxide from the ions comprising calcium using the base in a region of a reactor with a pH of 10 or higher; and utilizing the calcium hydroxide in a downstream process to form a cement are described.
