Abstract: A method for recovering metal from electronic waste contacting electronic waste with a recovery solution to dissolve metals from the electronic waste into the recovery solution, wherein the recovery solution comprises nitric acid and ferric nitrate; and raising the pH of the recovery solution to precipitate at least some of said metals therefrom.

Abstract: A germicidal lotion composition for treating or preventing diseases and wounds in humans or animals made by combining an aqueous phase comprising an aqueous solution or suspension containing a medicament, wherein the medicament is present in the solution or suspension in the range of about 0.015 to 80.0 wt. %; and an oil phase comprising an oil solution or suspension and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant is present in the oil in the range of from about 30 to 90 wt. %; wherein the aqueous phase is added to the oil phase in a weight ratio of about 3:1 to 99:1, and wherein the aqueous phase is added to the oil phase using low to medium shear mixing to provide the lotion.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of an inorganic filler material coated with a nano-particulate tin compound which comprises forming a slurry of the filler material in an aqueous colloidal suspension of a tin compound, whereby the tin compound is directly precipitated from the colloidal suspension onto the surface of the filler, separating the inorganic filler from the colloidal suspension and, optionally, heating the coated filler to convert the hydrated tin compound to the anhydrous form. A fire retardant material comprises a particulate inorganic material coated with a nano-particulate tin product in an amount of from 1 to 100% by weight, based on the weight of the inorganic filler.
