  • Methods of producing ferrihydrite nanoparticle slurries, and systems and products employing the same
    Patent number: 10864511
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of synthesizing slurries comprising ferrihydrite nanoparticles, and systems and methods employing the same. The method may include the steps of preparing an aqueous solution having ferric iron cations, halide anions, and a two-line iron promoter, and precipitating the ferrihydrite nanoparticles in the aqueous solution, thereby producing a ferrihydrite slurry. The ferrihydrite slurries may be useful in treating a polluted fluid having sulfur contaminants therein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2020
    Inventors: Charles Deane Little, Megan Catherine Cousins, Margarite Patricia Parker, Tara S. Gedvilas, Jason Aaron Barton, Philip Henry Michael, Joe Kosmoski
