Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting natural gas from a source, such as a wellhead, pipeline, or a storage facility, into hydrocarbon liquid stable at room temperature, comprising a skid or trailer mounted portable gas to liquids reactor. The reactor includes a preprocessor which desulfurizes and dehydrates the natural gas, a first stage reactor which transforms the preprocessed natural gas into synthesis gas, and a liquid production unit using a Fischer-Tropsch or similar polymerization process. The hydrocarbon liquid may be stored in a portable tank for later transportation or further processed on site.

Abstract: A method of producing nano metal fluoride powders comprising the steps of mixing an aqueous or organic continuous phase comprising at least one metal cation salt with a hydrophilic or organic polymeric disperse phase forming a metal cation salt/polymer gel and then treating said gel with anhydrous hydrofluoric acid to convert said metal cation salt to metal cation fluoride and heat treating the gel at a temperature sufficient to drive off water and/or organics within the gel, leaving a residue of nano-size metal fluoride powder.

Abstract: A process for the production of metal fluorides comprising introducing a predetermined weight of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid into a reaction vessel and initiate a mixing action, preheating a predetermined weight of anhydrous metal to a predetermined reaction temperature, introducing aliquots of the anhydrous metal into the reaction vessel at intervals until the entire predetermined weight of the anhydrous metal has been added, removing excess anhydrous hydrofluoric acid from the reaction vessel, and remove a metal fluoride resultant product from the reaction vessel.

Abstract: This invention discloses novel catalyzed surface composition altering formulations and methods and catalyzed surface coating formulations and methods, which contain one or more catalysts, along with optional other ingredients, wherein the catalysts serve to effect in situ chemical bonding reactions in that the catalysts function to initiate, to promote, to accelerate, and/or to increase the formation and yield of persistent, solid, corrosion-resistant, impact-resistant, wear-resistant, and/or non-stick surface compositions and surface coating films, which may exhibit pigmentation and other aesthetic features, and may be designed to be environmentally benign. The disclosed formulation and methods may be used to alter the surface composition and to coat the surfaces of vehicles, such as aircraft, and to improve the anti-icing characteristics of the vehicle surfaces.
