Publication number: 20230404821Abstract: This invention discloses novel particulate compositions made by modifying Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) and other high surface area substrates to create granules that exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial and enzyme-inactivating properties, and that can directly neutralize certain malodorants and other undesirable chemical entities, such as toxins. This is accomplished by the direct interaction of the modifying moieties with: (1) vital components of bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and viruses; (2) enzymes, such as those that are responsible for the generation of malodorants and other toxic volatile compounds; and (3) certain malodorants and other undesirable compounds that are susceptible to oxidative or halogenation reactions that can neutralize their odors or toxicities. Chemical modifications of granular materials are accomplished by exposure to organic solvents containing soluble or dispersible N-halamine.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey F. Williams, Shelby D. Worley

Publication number: 20220205114Abstract: A HOCl manufacturing system is disclosed for production of high potency, safe, consistently pure, stable, authentic HOCl in a deployable, portable, high volume, localized manufacturing unit. The electrolysis method uses a deployable, remote-controlled manufacturing system. The method includes: controlling water flow rate into an electrolysis chamber by providing feedback controlled water pressure; applying feedback controlled current to the electrolysis chamber via an adjustable and high-current power supply; adding sodium chloride brine, via a feedback controlled actuator, to an anode chamber inlet and creating an aqueous mixture; adding sodium hydroxide, via a feedback controlled actuator, to the aqueous mixture; and producing aqueous hypochlorous acid free from hypochlorites, phosphates, oxides, and stabilizers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: June 30, 2022Inventors: Daniel J Terry, Jeffrey F Williams, Robert Day

Publication number: 20210275704Abstract: Articles can be provided with odor resistance by applying a dispersion of a halogenated heterocyclic N-halamine in an inert liquid carrier onto the surface of the article and allowing the inert liquid carrier to penetrate into it. The N-halamine accordingly becomes deposited on the surface of the article after the inert liquid carrier penetrates into the article. This method can be used to provide odor resistance to a variety of substrates, including garbage bags. It can also be used to deposit other functional particulates onto the surface of substrates having sufficient porosity to take up the vehicle. For instance, such functional particles can be oxidants that display antimicrobial and/or enzyme inhibitory efficacy or particles having toxin interaction potentials through oxidative degradation or adsorption of toxic substances in air and/or water, such as fluoride uptake by metal oxide microparticles.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Applicant: OXISCIENCE, LLCInventors: Jeffrey F.

Patent number: 10040710Abstract: A method uses anionic and cationic polymers added in, any order or simultaneously, to aqueous media for the removal of substances. The sequential addition of the two biopolymers, anionic xanthan, followed by cationic chitosan, causes the rapid formation of very large and cohesive fibrillar aggregates that may exhibit high solids to liquid ratios and that quickly settle out from the aqueous media. The aqueous media can be easily separated from the large fibrillar aggregates by settling under gravity or by filtration through a porous containment device, such as a synthetic or non-synthetic woven or non-woven fabric including a geotextile fabric or a solid containment device containing a solid mesh screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Dober Chemical CorporationInventors: Everett J.
