Fuel Treatments using metals

SFA International - Products: "FuelSpec 120 and 130 series deposit modifiers, corrosion and vanadium inhibitors used in Combustion Turbines that utilize ash-bearing liquid petroleum fuels for industrial power generation."

Metal combustion catalysts

Fuel Treatments: "Several metals catalyze combustion of petroleum fuels. These include iron, manganese, copper, barium and cerium. Iron is the best choice for combustion turbine applications. SFA International manufactures FuelSpec 116 series ferric carboxylate salt available in up to 9% Fe concentration. We also have FuelSpec 118 series oil-miscible colloidal dispersion of iron with up to 18% Fe concentration. Both of these products meet combustion turbine manufacturer contaminant metal requirements."

Metal oxide nanoparticles induce varying toxic footprints

Metal oxide nanoparticles induce varying toxic footprints: "Different metal oxide nanoparticles appear to produce distinct inflammatory reactions that vary over time within the lungs of laboratory rats, UK researchers report. The results have important implications for nanoparticle testing, says Ken Donaldson of the Centre for Inflammation Research at Edinburgh University. The work sought to examine the hazards of well-characterised metal oxide nanoparticles and other nanoparticles that are widely used in..."
