  • Patent number: 8268269
    Abstract: As population density increases, the transportation of hazardous chemicals, including acids and disinfectants, lead to an increased incidence of spills while the consequences of spills become more serious. While solutions of halide acids, hypohalites and halites are safer disinfectants for transportation, handling, storage and use than traditional gaseous chlorine, the manufacturing cost of these disinfectants has here-to-fore limited their use. Economical processes are presented for the manufacture of O2, halogen oxides, halide acids, hypohalites, and halates; as well as polynucleate metal compounds, metal hydroxides and calcium sulfate hydrate (gypsum). The instant invention presents methods and processes that incorporate the use of sulfur. This is while environmental regulators, such as the US EPA, require an increased removal of sulfur from hydrocarbon fuels, thereby creating an abundance of sulfur, such that the refining industry is in need of a way to dispose of said abundance of sulfur.

  • Publication number: 20110061612
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to improved methods, systems, processes and apparatus (means) for the combustion of hydrogen (H2) with oxygen (O2), wherein the H2 and O2 are obtained from at least one storage tank or obtained by electrolysis of water (H2O). The instant invention is based upon the chemistry of H2O incorporating H2 as the fuel and O2 as the oxidizer. The instant invention relates to combustion, wherein the thermodynamics of the Otto Cycle are improved providing improved combustion efficiency and power output, thereby producing the Haase Cycle. The instant invention relates to means of liquefaction unit for storage of said H2 and/or of said O2 in applications which are at an altitude above the surface of the earth (space applications). Finally, the instant invention relates to applications of producing mechanical or electrical energy, as well as improved H2 and/or O2 storage in space applications.
