Silver-Silver Sulfide Reference Electrode
This invention is a new reference electrode that was prepared by anodizing (electrochemically oxidizing) silver metal in a sodium sulfide solution (SSSE). This results in a silver metal wire coated with silver sulfide. The electrode is extremely stable. The measured potentials for SSSE versus SSCE during two experiments in 1 molar KCl in air were 0.883...

Method for Tailings Dust Suppression
This technology is a new type of treatment that can be sprayed on mine tailings piles to suppress tailing dust from blowing off the pile, thereby preventing erosion and environmental contamination.
Background:
Tailings are the waste byproduct of ore mining, and consist of fine particles, many the size of dust particles. They are typically placed in...

High Temperature Thermal and Electrical Heating for Copper Extraction Pot
This technology uses molten salts, which are electrically conductive and can be used as an electrolyte for the electrodeposition of copper, and extracts pure copper from impure copper inputs in a single step, therefore reducing the extraction time without requiring or producing any toxic products.
Background:
It is expected that around 6,000 metric...

Molten Salts for Precious Metal Recovery
This invention is a method used primarily for mining that extracts metals using electrodeposition from a mixture of refined ore and molten salt in order to reduce the melting point. Much like the process of extracting aluminum from Bauxite, gold is extracted from ore using electrodeposition as a replacement for the widely used sodium cyanide mixture.
Background:...
