Latest Patents

One of Erik G Back's latest patents is titled "Process for recovering lead from lead chloride containing raw material." This invention relates to a method for recovering lead from lead chloride raw materials by reducing the lead chloride with gas in a reaction zone comprising one or more separate reaction chambers. The invention is characterized by the simultaneous execution of two reduction processes in the reaction zone, which includes the reduction of solid or liquid lead chloride and the reduction of gaseous lead chloride. Non-reacted lead-chloride reactants in either of the two reduction processes are utilized as reactants in the other process. The reduction gas is extracted from the upper part of the reaction zone, which operates at a lower temperature than the lower part.

Another significant patent by Back is the "Method of recovering high-grade fuel from solid mineral-fuel raw material." This invention focuses on improving the efficiency of fuel recovery processes, contributing to more sustainable energy production.
