Appl. No.:

10/623370

Inventors:

Mark D. Tucker - Albuquerque NM, US
Robert H. Comstock - Gardendale AL, US

Assignee:

Sandia Corporation - Albuquerque NM

International Classification:

A62D 3/00

C11D 1/62
C11D 3/39

US Classification:

510110, 510372, 510504, 588315, 588320, 588400, 588401, 588406, 588408, 588409, 588901, 25218638, 25218641, 25218642, 25218639

Abstract:

A decontamination formulation and method of making that neutralizes the adverse health effects of both chemical and biological compounds, especially chemical warfare (CW) and biological warfare (BW) agents, and toxic industrial chemicals. The formulation provides solubilizing compounds that serve to effectively render the chemical and biological compounds, particularly CW and BW compounds, susceptible to attack, and at least one reactive compound that serves to attack (and detoxify or kill) the compound. The formulation includes at least one solubilizing agent, a reactive compound, a bleaching activator, a sorbent additive, and water. The highly adsorbent, water-soluble sorbent additive (e. g. , sorbitol or mannitol) is used to “dry out” one or more liquid ingredients, such as the liquid bleaching activator (e. g. , propylene glycol diacetate or glycerol diacetate) and convert the activator into a dry, free-flowing powder that has an extended shelf life, and is more convenient to handle and mix in the field.

Abstract:

Decontamination formulations with an additive for enhancing mold remediation. The formulations include a solubilizing agent (e. g. , a cationic surfactant), a reactive compound (e. g. , hydrogen peroxide), a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, a water-soluble bleaching activator (e. g. , propylene glycol diacetate or glycerol diacetate), a mold remediation enhancer containing Fe or Mn, and water. The concentration of Fe or Mn ions in the aqueous mixture is in the range of about 0. 0001% to about 0. 001%. The enhanced formulations can be delivered, for example, as a foam, spray, liquid, fog, mist, or aerosol for neutralization of chemical compounds, and for killing certain biological compounds or agents and mold spores, on contaminated surfaces and materials.

US Patent:

Filed:

May 14, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/436571

Inventors:

Jerry Schoen - Middletown OH, US
Robert Comstock - Trenton OH, US

International Classification:

H01F001/147

US Classification:

148111000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a method for producing a non-oriented electrical steel with improved magnetic properties and improved resistance to ridging, brittleness, nozzle clogging and magnetic aging.. The chromium bearing steel is produced from a steel melt which is cast as a thin slab or conventional slab, cooled, hot rolled and/or cold rolled into a finished strip. The finished strip is further subjected to at least one annealing treatment wherein the magnetic properties are developed, making the steel sheet of the present invention suitable for use in electrical machinery such as motors or transformers.
