Steven A. Iacoviello has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5328673
    Abstract: A process for removing NO.sub.x oxides and SO.sub.x oxides from gaseous streams contacts the gaseous stream with an aqueous solution of chloric acid. The process of the invention removes sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides from waste gas streams without producing inorganic salts. In addition, the use of chloric acid provides improved oxidation of NO and SO.sub.2. The process can be operated to treat "dirty" gas streams containing particulates and compounds which may poison or contaminate NO.sub.x removal systems employing catalysts.

  • Patent number: 4508602
    Abstract: A process for producing a concentrated aqueous solution of an alkali metal chlorate and an alkali metal chloride comprises feeding an aqueous alkali metal chloride solution to an electrolysis zone at a constant feed rate. Electric current is supplied to the electrolysis zone at an initial current load. The aqueous alkali metal chloride is electrolyzed to produce a concentrated chlorate solution comprised of an alkali metal chlorate and the alkali metal chloride. A portion of the concentrated solution is fed to an analysis zone and analyzed to measure the ratio of the concentration of the chlorate ion to the concentration of the chloride ion. The measured ratio is compared in a processing zone with a predetermined value range for the ratio and, where the measured ratio falls outside of the predetermined value range, altering the initial current load to the electrolysis zone. The concentrated alkali metal chlorate solution is recovered.

  • Patent number: 4434033
    Abstract: A process for producing a concentrated aqueous solution of an alkali metal chlorate and an alkali metal chloride comprises feeding an aqueous alkali metal chloride solution to a first electrolysis zone at an initial feed rate. The aqueous alkali metal chloride is electrolyzed to produce a concentrated chlorate solution comprised of an alkali metal chlorate and the alkali metal chloride. A portion of the concentrated solution is fed to an analysis zone and analyzed to measure the ratio of the concentration of the chlorate ion to the concentration of the chloride ion. The measured ratio is compared in a processing zone with a predetermined value range for the ratio and, where the measured ratio falls outside of the predetermined value range, altering the initial feed rate of alkali metal chloride to the first electrolysis zone. The concentrated alkali metal is removed from the first electrolysis zone to a product solution collection zone.
