  • Patent number: 11958013
    Abstract: Methods of sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2) are provided. Aspects of the methods include contacting an aqueous capture ammonia with a gaseous source of CO2 under conditions sufficient to produce an aqueous ammonium carbonate. The aqueous ammonium carbonate is then combined with a cation source under conditions sufficient to produce a solid CO2 sequestering carbonate and an aqueous ammonium salt. The aqueous capture ammonia is then regenerated from the from the aqueous ammonium salt. Also provided are systems configured for carrying out the methods.

  • Publication number: 20240081949
    Abstract: A dental apparatus and method, for example an endodontic apparatus and method, is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a supply of fluid; a pump for delivering fluid from the supply under pressure and a handpiece in fluid communication with the pump. The handpiece includes a needle 30, extending from a rearward end proximal to the handpiece to a forward tip distal from the handpiece, a lumen of the needle extending to an opening at the tip to deliver fluid received from the pump to a tooth. The dimensions of the needle and the delivery pressure of the fluid are selected such that the flow of fluid through the needle causes a cloud of inertial cavitation to be formed forward of the needle tip.
