US Patent Issued on April 22 for "Copper ferrite synthesis by a borate method" (Colorado Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,281,026, issued on April 22.

"Copper ferrite synthesis by a borate method" was invented by Robert L. Kochen (Boulder, Colo.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A copper ferrite synthesis describing the use of cuprous, ferric, and borate ions is disclosed. Cuprous and ferric compounds react with sodium borate to form cuprous ferric oxide precipitates. Oxidizing a cuprous ferric oxide with an oxygen enhanced flame, synthesizes copper ferrite. The cuprous ferric oxide may be reduced to nanoparticle size via pulverization to produce copper ferrite nanoparticles."
