Ching-Tu Chang 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: 8430803
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for solidifying and stabilizing waste acid including steps of condensing waste acid containing phosphoric acid to reduce the volume; mixing the condensed waste acid with waste acid containing fluoroboric acid to solidify and stabilize the mixed waste acid. The pH of the mixed acid is adjusted by adding barium hydroxide as a neutralizer. The efficiency of solidifying waste acid can be improved by partially granulating and by adding solidifying agent indirectly. The method of the present invention can prevent intensely exothermic reaction caused by adding solidifying agents. Furthermore, the method of the present invention is controlled in a temperature of 30 to 45° C. to improve the polymerization of the mixed waste acid so that the efficiency of solidification thereof can be also improved.

  • Patent number: 7541311
    Abstract: A vermiculite supported catalyst for carbon monoxide (CO) preferential oxidation (PROX) is disclosed. The CO PROX catalyst comprises at least one catalytic agent, one optional modifier agent, one carrier material, and a vermiculite support. The process for preparing the vermiculite supported catalyst in this invention includes depositing first the carrier material on a vermiculite support followed by calcination to form the carrier-containing support, and wet impregnating the catalytic agent and the optional modifier agent on the carrier-containing support followed by drying and calcination to form the CO preferential oxidation catalyst.
