Title: Innovations by Gary M Carraux
Introduction
Gary M Carraux is an accomplished inventor based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. He has made significant contributions to the field of construction materials and waste processing, holding a total of three patents. His innovative approaches focus on utilizing reclaimed materials to create sustainable solutions.
Latest Patents
One of Carraux's latest patents is a construction material and method that utilizes granular material reclaimed from the ash of a municipal waste combustor. This process involves sorting and separating recovered metals from the ash, which includes particles with a maximum diameter of 5 to 40 mm. The material is treated with heavy metal immobilization agents, such as phosphoric acid and ferrous sulfate, to ensure safety and compliance. Additionally, the ash undergoes drying and mulling to enhance its properties.
Another notable patent is a process for processing ash resulting from the mass burning of municipal waste. This improved method incorporates a shear-force shredder for size reduction, impact cleaning for ferrous metals, and a rotary washer for non-ferrous metals. The ash is then treated to immobilize heavy metals, resulting in treated ash aggregate (TAA). This innovative approach recycles ash through a closed loop, increasing the efficiency of metal removal and ensuring a homogeneous product.
