Joseph Z. Stemple 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).

  • Electrified microheterogeneous catalysis
    Patent number: 5397447
    Abstract: In a system and method for enhancing chemical reactions, a reactant is brought in contact with a stable, non-soluble, porous, electronically non-conductive solid (reaction enhancer) in a fluidic medium to form a reaction mixture of low ionic strength. The reaction mixture so formed is then subjected to an electrifying force thereby enhancing the chemical reaction. Reaction products are then collected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 1993
    Date of Patent: March 14, 1995
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Debra R. Rolison, Joseph Z. Stemple

  • Oxidation of organic materials by electrified microheterogeneous catalysis
    Patent number: 5288371
    Abstract: In a system and method for enhancing organic oxidation reactions, an orga reactant is brought in contact with a stable, non-soluble, porous, electronically non-conductive, inorganic solid (reaction enhancer) in a fluidic medium to form a reaction mixture of low ionic strength. The reaction mixture so formed is then subjected to an electrifying force thereby enhancing the chemical reaction. Oxidation reaction products are then collected.

    Date of Patent: February 22, 1994
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Debra R. Rolison, Joseph Z. Stemple
  • Decomposition of halogenated and polyhalogenated organic materials by electrified microheterogeneous catalysis
    Patent number: 5282936
    Abstract: In a system and method for enhancing dehalogenation and decomposition reactions, an organic reactant is brought in contact with a stable, non-soluble, porous, electronically non-conductive inorganic solid (reaction enhancer) in a fluidic medium to form a reaction mixture of low ionic strength. The reaction mixture so formed is then subjected to an electrifying force thereby enhancing the chemical reaction. Reaction products are then collected.
