  • Patent number: 7518028
    Abstract: Radiation shields and techniques for radiation shielding are provided. Bitumen substances, such as asphalt or tar, are mixed with radioactive waste, leaded glass, or a radioactive waste and leaded glass composite. In embodiments where the bitumen substance is mixed with leaded glass, the resulting mixture can be coated onto containers that house radioactive waste or the resulting mixture can be coated onto the outer surface of the radioactive waste.

  • Publication number: 20070284312
    Abstract: A portable waste disposal system for cementuous slurry comprises a collapsible wire cage, a waterproof containment bag inside the wire cage and a filtration bag inside the waterproof containment bag. The system enables the cementuous slurry generated during the plastering of a swimming pool and pumped from inside a swimming pool to a location adjacent the pool be disposed of quickly and safely. The liquid generated during the process may be neutralized and left on site, thereby avoiding transport of such liquid.

  • Patent number: 6893605
    Abstract: A method and systems are provided for extracting heavy metal from glass waste. Glass is initially crushed to a diameter size of about 2 millimeters. The glass is then added to a tank having a solution of water and acid, where the acid removes metal from the surface of the glass particles. The solution is then separated from the glass particles. In some embodiments, the glass particles are also rinsed with water and the rinsed water is treated to remove any residual contaminates. In more embodiments, the solution can be reused for a number of iterations that treat glass waste in order to extract heavy metal from the glass waste.

  • Patent number: 6893606
    Abstract: A method and systems are provided for extracting heavy metal from glass waste. Glass is initially crushed to a diameter size between about 10 nanometers and about 2 millimeters. The glass is then added to a tank having a solution of water and acid, where the acid removes metal from the surface of the glass particles. In some embodiments, the solution and glass particles are elevated to a configurable temperature above ambient temperature and circulated for a configurable period of time. The solution is then separated from the glass particles. In some embodiments, the glass particles are then rinsed while in transit to a final destination or in a separate rinsing tank.

  • Patent number: 6818300
    Abstract: Methods are provided for coating glass waste. A mixture including a universal resin, a curing agent, a flow modifier, and a colorant is applied to the glass waste. The glass waste is then cured. In some embodiments, the mixture is sprayed onto the glass waste. In an alternative embodiment, the mixture is mixed with the glass waste.

  • Publication number: 20040121071
    Abstract: Methods are provided for coating substrates. The mixture includes a universal resin, a curing agent, a flow modifier, a colorant, and a thermochromatic compound, a phosphorescent compound, or a luminescent compound. The mixture is coated onto a substrate. Coating can be achieved by mixing the mixture with a liquid form of the substrate, spraying the mixture onto the substrate, brushing the mixture onto the substrate, or submersing the substrate into the mixture.
