Patent number: 12264094Abstract: A method for chromium removal from post-tanning wastewater includes the following steps: (a) mixing pretreated post-tanning wastewater with an induction reagent to allow an induction reaction; and (b) adjusting a pH of a mixture obtained after the induction reaction to higher than 7.0 for precipitation; where the induction reagent includes a soluble metal salt. In the treatment method of the present disclosure, pretreated post-tanning wastewater is mixed with an induction reagent, a small amount of neutral chromium complexes remaining in the wastewater are converted into cationic chromium complexes under the action of the induction reagent (that is, a charge property of the chromium complex is changed), and then a pH is adjusted for precipitation to remove chromium, which greatly improves the removal efficiency of chromium in wastewater.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: SICHUAN UNIVERSITYInventors: Jianfei Zhou, Liming Zhao, Bi Shi, Yuling Tang

Publication number: 20240270854Abstract: A BMP2 surrogate protein is provided comprising two different antigen binding regions (ABR), which can be configured as immunoglobulin “single variable domains” (ISV). A first ISV specifically binds to a first BMP2 receptor, e.g. BMPR1a; and a second ISV specifically binds to a second BMP2 receptor, e.g. BMPR2. In some embodiments the first and second ISV are joined by a cleavable linker that is susceptible to proteases selectively expressed in monocytic cells or macrophages, relative to skeletal stem cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: August 15, 2024Inventors: Charles K.F.
