  • Patent number: 8535728
    Abstract: Colorless composition comprising silver particles and water, wherein said particles comprise an interior of elemental silver and an exterior of ionic silver oxide, wherein the silver particles are present in the water at a level of about 5-40 ppm, and wherein the composition manifests significant antimicrobial properties. Methods of use of the composition are described. The composition can be incorporated into a hydrogel with essentially no loss of antimicrobial properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: September 17, 2013
    Assignee: American Silver, LLC
    Inventors: Robert J. Holladay, Herbert Christensen, William Moeller
  • Publication number: 20110262556
    Abstract: We disclose a colorless composition comprising metal particles (e.g., silver nanoparticles) and water, wherein said particles comprise an interior of elemental metal (e.g., silver) and an exterior of metal oxide (e.g., one or more silver oxide(s)), wherein the metal nanoparticles are present in the water at a level of about 5-40 ppm, and wherein the composition manifests significant antimicrobial properties. Methods of use of the composition are described. The composition can be incorporated into a hydrogel with essentially no loss of antimicrobial properties. Various metal-containing compositions with unexpected biological efficacy are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7850759
    Abstract: Multimode and single mode microwave energy is used to improve the extraction of metals from chalcogenide minerals. In one process microwave energy is used to comminute the mineral after which the mineral is reacted with acid in the presence of microwave energy. Following treatment the mineral is removed and the extracted metal is recovered from the acid. In another process chalcogenide minerals are exposed to the magnetic field maximum or the electrical field maximum of a single mode electromagnetic energy. This treatment causes a phase separation between metals and silicates within the mineral leaving metal rich regions from which the metal can be readily recovered by traditional methods.
