MUMBAI, India, June 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202321088451 A) filed by Ahmedabad University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on Dec. 23, 2023, for 'a catalyst composition and a process for catalytic degradation of of chemical contaminants in waste water.'
Inventor(s) include Snigdha Khuntia; Arunima Singh; Sameer Dalvi; and Aditya Guduru.
The application for the patent was published on June 27, under issue no. 26/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a catalyst composition and a process for catalytic degradation of chemical contaminants in waste water. The composition comprises Ozone (O3) microbubble and at least one metal nanoparticle. The metal for the metal NP is a transition metal selected from cobalt (Co), iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg), wherein the transition metal is a substrate having high stability to ozone (O3); and activates ozone (O3) surface for radical generation The process for degradation of chemical contaminants in wastewater is based on maintaining the flow of O3 in the range of 0.15 L/min to 0.50 L/min to obtain an O3 microbubble (MB). The invention has an application in treating the waste water by oxidative degradation of contaminants using Fe NP coated ozone (O3) microbubble."
