MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617056686 A) filed by Regents Of The University Of Michigan on May 04, 2026, for Electrochemical Synthesis Of Direct Reduced Metal And Metal-Derived Compounds.
Inventors include Kavalsky, Lance; and Viswanathan, Venkatasubramanian.
The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.
Abstract: An electrowinning process for reduction of metal from a metal-containing ore in an electrochemical cell comprising oppositely disposed electrodes immersed in a water-in-salt electrolyte can include dissolving the metal-containing ore in the water-in-salt electrolyte under acidic conditions to form a solution comprising one or more metal cations from the metal-containing order; and applying a potential to selectively deposit one or more of the metal cations from the solution onto one of the electrodes, thereby growing a high-purity metal plate on the electrode.
