Amoebae/bacteria consortia and uses for degrading wastes and contaminants

Patent Tyndall, R L

A method is disclosed of altering trinitrotoluene. The steps include the following: providing an amoeba/bacteria consortium, particularly ATCC 40908 or a mutant which possesses all the identifying characteristics thereof; and contacting the consortium with trinitrotoluene to alter the trinitrotoluene.
Bacteria isolated from amoebae/bacteria consortium

Patent Tyndall, Richard L [Clinton, TN]

New protozoan derived microbial consortia and method for their isolation are provided. Consortia and bacteria isolated therefrom are useful for treating wastes such as trichloroethylene and trinitrotoluene. Consortia, bacteria isolated therefrom, and dispersants isolated therefrom are useful for dispersing hydrocarbons such as oil, creosote, wax, and grease.

Waste treatment process for removal of contaminants from aqueous, mixed-waste solutions using sequential chemical treatment and crossflow microfiltration, followed by dewatering

Patent Vijayan, Sivaraman [Deep River, CA]; Wong, Chi F [Pembroke, CA]; Buckley, Leo P [Deep River, CA]

In processes of this invention aqueous waste solutions containing a variety of mixed waste contaminants are treated to remove the contaminants by a sequential addition of chemicals and adsorption/ion exchange powdered materials to remove the contaminants including lead, cadmium, uranium, cesium-137, strontium-85/90, trichloroethylene and benzene, and impurities including iron and calcium. Staged conditioning of the waste solution produces a polydisperse system of size enlarged complexes of the contaminants in three distinct configurations: water-soluble metal complexes, insoluble metal precipitation complexes, and contaminant-bearing particles of ion exchange and adsorbent materials. The volume of the waste is reduced by separation of the polydispersemore » « less

Subterranean drilling and in situ treatment of wastes using a contamination control system and methods relating thereto

Patent Jessmore, James J.; Loomis, Guy G.; Pettet, Mark C.; ...

Systems and methods relating to subterranean drilling while maintaining containment of any contaminants released during the drilling. A thrust block installed over a zone of interest provides an overflow space for retaining any contaminants and excess sealant returns. Negative air pressure may be maintained in the overflow space by a ventilation system. Access ports in the thrust block seal the overflow space from the surrounding environment with a membrane seal. A flexible sack seal in the access port may be connected to a drill shroud prior to drilling, providing containment during drilling after the drill bit penetrates the membrane seal.more » « less
