  • Destruction of PFAS via an oxidation process and apparatus suitable for transportation to contaminated sites
    Patent number: 11970409
    Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

  • Toner with Controlled Wax Dispersion
    Publication number: 20190384199
    Abstract: A toner composition includes low and high molecular weight polyester resins. It also includes a release agent, such as a polyolefin wax, and a tri-block copolymer having a structure of the form A-b-B-b-A, wherein A is a hard block and B is a soft block. The hard block is styrene, while the soft block is butadiene/butylene. Upon partial hydrogenation, the copolymer provides improved dispersion, mobility control, and domain size of the release agent.

  • Dry xerographic toner and developer
    Patent number: 5798199
    Abstract: A high speed toner comprising a body of hybrid resin which is about 92 percent by weight polyester and 8 percent by weight polystyrene. Blended in the resin is a charge control agent, a pigment, and about 10 percent by weight of the toner of fumed aluminum oxide. Where the pigments are color-subtractive the charge control agent is a copolymer of styrene and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid.The toner is mixed with a carrier of ferrite particles having a thick silicone coating to remain through the long life of the toner.
