"Within the next several weeks" (stated March 31)
- "The technology is geared to uniquely handle the residues resulting from the processing of dross in the aluminumindustry."
- "We had previously announced our intention to secure this technology and, if concluded, would not only make our traditional DROSRITE™ offering more appealing but could also be offered as a stand-alone product."
- "We believe that valorizing the residues and producing high end products will further define us as the go-to company for all dross related processing"
- As per information in the Q4 news release:

Dross waste recovery developments:
- Further information regarding discovery and production tests for turning additional % of dross waste into valuable chemicals, which has been posited in the past:
- Recovering viable material from the 40% of dross that is residues (vs. the 60% that is metals)
- "These residues have the capacity to be converted into chemical and metallurgical products."
- "This would be an easy expansion of our service offering to the aluminum industry such that PyroGenesis would build, install, and operate turn-key plants that are essentially a cradle to grave and zero landfill solution."
- "One example would be converting a particular residue into ammonium sulphate or aluminum sulphate, both high value chemical products. We effectively would be converting these landfilled products into useful commodities with obvious benefits to the environment. We have already demonstrated to the Board that this can be done economically."

Well hot dog! Look at you ye of few posts! Great contribution by you! I lose track from  time to time but will assume Papa Pyrro  has the  PurVap and Nano Reactor patents, otherwise I would have expected HPQ to file this.
