Latest Patents
Francois Erhart holds a patent for a "Support for porous barriers made of baked ceramic material." This invention relates to a support for a ceramic porous barrier utilized for obtaining a concentration of uranium 235 in uranium hexafluoride through ultrafiltration. The support is designed by superposing several layers in the form of pastes, with a homogeneous and constant particle size in each layer that decreases from the outer to the inner layers. The pastes are composed of powdered materials such as metals, oxides, silicates, borides, nitrides, and halides, which are combined with mineral binders. The pastes are then extruded or co-extruded, followed by baking to create the final support.
