Electrocatalyst compositions and processes for making and using same

Abstract: In a method of producing a particulate electrocatalyst composition, a precursor medium comprising at least a first metal precursor, a liquid vehicle, and a substrate precursor to substrate particles is atomized into precursor droplets. The droplets are then heated to a reaction temperature of not greater than 700°C to form composite particles comprising said first metal at least partly in an oxide form dispersed on said substrate particles. The composite particles are then collected and are heated at a first treatment temperature no greater than 250°C in the presence of a reducing atmosphere to at least partly convert said oxide form to the metal.

Methods for recovering at least one metallic element from ore

Abstract: A method for recovering at least one metallic element from ore or other material is described and includes reacting ore or other material with a salt capable of recovering the metallic element from the ore or other material to form a reaction product that includes the metallic element. The method also includes recovering the metallic element from the reaction product. To remove the metallic element from the reaction product, the method can involve crushing the reaction product to form a crushed material and dissolving the crushed material in a solvent to remove the precipitates, thereby leaving a sulfate solution containing the metallic element. The method is particularly directed to the recovery of cesium from silicate- or aluminosilicate-based ore like pollucite via clinker formation by reacting the ore at elevated temperature in the presence of a metal sulfate salt.

Security features and processes for forming same

Abstract: Security features, e.g., reflective security features, and processes for forming security features are described. The security features comprise crystalline metal-containing particles having a primary particle size of from about 10 nanometers to less than 500 nanometers and including a continuous or non-continuous coating of a ceramic material. Inks comprising such crystalline metal-containing particles are also described. The crystalline metal-containing particles are preferably produced by flame spraying.
