Title: Yang Tang and His Water-Purification Invention.

Introduction

Yang Tang is an inventor based in Beijing, China, associated with Beijing University of Chemical Technology. His listed patent focuses on a composite material designed to remove pollutants from contaminated water.

Latest Patents

Tang is credited with 1 patent: “Composite Material and Method for Removing Pollutant from Polluted Water.” The invention uses an aluminum-alloy composite containing aluminum and one or more alkaline-earth or transition metals. When the material dissolves in contaminated water, it releases metal ions and hydroxide ions that can react with substances in the water, forming layered double hydroxide (LDH) precipitates in situ.

The composite is specified as containing 18–70 weight percent aluminum, 30–80 weight percent of a second metal, and 0–2 weight percent auxiliary agent, with a particle size of 0.01–3 millimeters. Pretreatment with dilute hydrochloric acid can help form a micro-nano Alloy@LDH composite with a core-shell structure. The invention is intended for soil remediation and sewage purification, including the removal or degradation of complex contaminants across acidic to alkaline conditions.

Career Highlights

The available information identifies Tang’s work with Beijing University of Chemical Technology and highlights his contribution to materials-based approaches for water treatment. His patent describes a method that forms pollutant-capturing precipitates directly within contaminated water.
