  • Publication number: 20210024363
    Abstract: Nanoparticles of calcium hydroxide having a dumbbell shape, wherein the dumbbell shape has rounded ends separated by a narrow central portion, wherein a ratio of a largest width of the central portion to a largest width of the rounded ends is 0.30 to 0.75, a length is in the range of 500 nm to 1100 nm, the largest width of the narrow central portion is 100 to 250 nm, and the largest width of the narrow central portion is 100 to 250 nm. The nanoparticles have a mesoporous structure and are made up of subparticles that have a size of 5 to 75 nm. A method of making the nanoparticles from calcined calcium carbonate sources is disclosed. Also disclosed is an enhanced fuel containing the nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 10882029
    Abstract: A method for using a nanocomposite of tin cobalt oxide nanocubes and graphene oxide to photo-catalytically degrade a portion of an organic contaminant in a solution. The nanocubes have an average side length in a range of 400 nm-1.5 ?m and a carbon to tin molar ratio in a range of 10:1-25:1. The nanocomposite may also be used for enhancing the efficiency of a liquid fuel.

  • Patent number: 10808193
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the efficiency of a liquid fuel is described. The method involves the addition of cobalt hydroxystannate nanoparticles to the liquid fuel to produce an enhanced liquid fuel. The cobalt hydroxystannate nanoparticles may be present at a concentration of 50-200 ppm, and may increase the calorific value of the fuel by a factor of 25-52 times.
