Script error: No such module "AfC submission catcheck". Patrick Ejikeme Nwosu is an Igbo inventor. In a speech given by the former Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, on behalf of the former President, Muhammadu Buhari, Nwosu was mentioned alongside five other inventors in Nigeria as notable.[1]
Nwosu created the Fire Retardant Paint, which when used to paint objects would prevent fire from burning them.[2] He also invented a separation apparatus that successfully purifies a mixture of miscible solute, solvent, and colloid by-products. Nwosu was granted patents by the Nigerian government for these two inventions.[2]
Furthermore, he created combustible gases out of urine.[3][4][5][6][7]
Nwosu also invented urine-based fertilizer. In order to create the urine-based fertilizer, he first created a prototype urine-diverting toilet that collected urine from people. The Federal Government of Nigeria awarded him another patent for this invention.[8] Nwosu also isolated ammonia from human urine.[2]
