  • Asphalt emulsion composition and method of treating a pavement surface
    Patent number: 11447637
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for treating a pavement such as by microsurfacing or slurry sealing. The compositions contain iron chelants that are effective in reducing discoloration of the pavement surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2022
    Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.
    Inventors: Robert Gabel, Glenda Vale, Eric Bauch, Chenthamarkshan Nair, Adam Meyers
  • Functionalized silicones for froth flotation
    Patent number: 11014097
    Abstract: Improved sparge compositions for froth flotation separation, methods of using them, and uses thereof are described. The compositions are suitably used in the froth flotation of particulate material containing ultrafine particles, and are well suited to the froth flotation separation of finely comminuted poor (low-grade) ores. The sparge compositions comprise functionalized silicone containing functionality that is tailored to the chemical nature of a beneficiary or a gangue in the ore. Sparging of the compositions effects improved recoveries and purities of beneficiaries. Sparge compositions and functionalized silicones suitable for the froth flotation of iron ores containing silica and/or silicate impurities are described. Sparge compositions and functionalized silicones suitable for the froth flotation of ores containing sulfur compounds such as sulfides are also disclosed.
