Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Metal separation using a tunnel kiln furnace." This invention outlines a method for separating metals that are physically or structurally combined in assemblies. The process involves heating assemblies, which may include different metals, in a tunnel kiln furnace to melt at least one of the metals while keeping the other in a solid state. This allows for effective separation of the melted metal from the solid metal. Notably, one embodiment of this invention refers to the assemblies as "copper meatballs."
Another significant patent is "Assemblies and methods for processing zinc-bearing materials." This process aims to separate and recover a desired metal as metal oxide from raw materials. It includes placing raw materials and a reductant in a container to create a reducing microclimate. The container is then conveyed through a heated housing, exposing the raw material to a reaction temperature. This innovative method allows for the reduction of metal oxide to a gaseous metal, which is subsequently oxidized to metal oxide and collected.
